my blog got cut off this past friday since blogger's wildly brilliant automated blog spam bots decided my blog was a "spam blog". it didn't get un-blocked until late on monday. gah.
between now and then more coding on plasma and kdelibs. i hope to have more screencast worthy material by end of week. the last ones have been viewed some 10k times between the various sources. neat.
i also found out about afterhours.fm, a live d.j. site run by a friend of a friend here in calgary. some truly great music if you're into the trance. it even has 192kb feeds for really nice quality beats. the d.j.'s are pretty outstanding.
and speaking of music and outstanding, love 2.0 is pretty damn funny.
that's all for now. i'm just happy i have my blog back ;) kevin arrives in less than two days. hoo-yah.
p.s. google for "plasma". fun to take words like that. i bet all the plasma t.v. manufacturers love it. we're updating the website this week too, so that'll be one less annoying question i'll have to deal with ;)

On the German Google, at least, the first six pages (I didn't bother to check further) are all about the state of matter and the display technology. Nothing about KDE.
@anonymous: dang. kde's plasma is the third link after two wikipedia links on google here. obviously we need a german translation of the website ;)
Blogger? Try Opera

That's the problem with ASP. You have to trust their software, and you can't fix it.
Plasma.kde got the fifth place when I searched (Serbian language is preferred in my settings). First four were Wikipedia (English & Spanish). Plasma TV got the 9th place :)
Plasma is great. I compile svn://kde from time to time and it is getting better and better every time I do so. The new fancy plasmoid desktop with live changelog & clock is more than great.
There is only one thing I would suggest (not related to plasma, though). Why doesn't nepomuk use some storage that is linked to the file (such as xattr) or at least directory (such as .desktop, .dolphin, .svn, CVS, ...) and leave the db storage for cache and crosscorelation (if needed). That way the semantic metadata would be transferable as long as the files stay on xattr-compatible filesystems. And in the current setup, I am not sure that the metadata would stay if I did "cp" by hand. I have just checked. How ever I do "cp" (including with the dolphin), the metadata isn't copied. I think that's at least bad (if it doesn't render the metadata unusable completely). What if I make comments for my pictures and a year later decide to burn those pictures to the CD. I would expect to save the metadata as well, but I don't think that would happen.
Sorry for talking about nepomuk here, it just crossed my mind now. I'll probably find someone actually involved in nepomuk to talk to.
Curious Aaron - in this FOSS world where we don't surrender our rights to corporations, why do you to Google (who runs blogger and most likely therefor har the rights to your text and comments)?
For the average joe I can see the reasoning - there's just not much of a choice - but for a guy like you, why are you not just running WordPress or something hosted at kde.org, where you own the rights and are in control yourself?
any progress yet in the kicker replacement?
how this will look? don't make it that big! make it look pretty and awesome by default :)
