Thank god Qt exists

We would all be depressed, hysteric and overworked if it didn’t exist.. at least that’s what my colleges at work are ..

C#, MFC … I believe no further words are needed

Think I’ll bring in my notebook to show them how REAL development works :p *preparing Qt 4.5.2, qtcreator 1.2 unstable & tortoisegit* *evilgrin*

Yeah… just wanted to express my frustration

Cya

Holidays!

Wohooo!! Finally it’s holiday time After a year full of work, after much blood sweat it’s a real relief to now start into a short 2 days vacation
Wondering why just 2 days? On monday I’m starting my summer internship – lasting 1 month, and afterwards I’m taking my drivers course to reach my goal of driving a vehicle some time soon

So.. what’s going on beside this real life stuff?

Many ideas, many things flooding through my head – ranging from projects to a special person… will be an interesting time coming…

Allevo is finished – beside of bugfixes and all sorts of removed features for release … time was just too short measured …
Sabayon Control Center is virtually dead – no talking, no time, no anything

Had an idea about a new approach to webbrowser/tabbed browsing – maybe I’ll further ellaborate… created a very BASIC mockup… time will tell if someone’s interested in taking a look.

Dinjam the datamodeller was cut down so we don’t make the same failures as with Allevo – it was just TOO MUCH – so it’s now just a modeller for economic processes (used quite often at my school) .. although it still has it’s plugin mechanism so it will be extend able to UML and entity relationshipo diagrams

My diploma project just got running.. all contracts signed SVN repository is accessable and waiting for some concepts, code and docu

Yeah.. that was pretty much it ^^ many things changed, too much for one blog entry… still have to convince myself to further explain my weird life to the public

cya soon (hopefully^^)

Saving freedesktop.org

Hey!

Just a short article — very good reading with really sad but true facts.. at least there is hope – if we work together!

http://digg.com/linux_unix/Saving_freedesktop_together

Please digg && help out as best as you can

Cya @saving the world.. ehm… freedesktop.org

Moving on from feet to wheels

Those not wanting to read non-geeky stuff should stop reading from here on

Yeah.. as the title says: Today I had my first driving lesson with my father.. man.. I never imagined it would be such a difficult thing.. difficult in the sense of: “needs-lots-of-practice-and-fine-tuning* .. well.. still I was already in the 2nd gear today .. not too bad for my first lesson… when I compare with others who seem to had their first pratice lesson I actually did pretty good

On a sidenote I finally seem to have found a project with an ISP for my degree dissertation next year *weeeh*

Really looking forward to code threads in C and going back to some more lower level stuff than Qt

Also my TODO list for school (homeworks, …) is nearly empty atm *wohoo*

wonder what I shall do with the time.. no I won’t have troubles finding something to do.. allevo (I & II), systemcenter, sabayon linux control center, a datamodeller (only conceptual atm), going through some C/C++ books, a book about electronic basics, multiple column kickoff for KDE4, KDE 4 coding itself and much other stuff that has already slipped my mind

and beside of those items from my brain-todo-list there’s also school (sometimes ^^)

yeah.. that’s pretty much it for this time… hope to write again soon

Allevo helpbrowser passes ACID3 :p

Yeah.. the headline tells it all ^^ The helpbrowser I’m currently writing for Allevo using QtWebkit actually passes the ACID3 test (100%, a bit laggy and linktest failure… but overall: IT’S 100% )

Here’s the proove:

ok.. I have absolutely no idea how I can use this damn picture upload functionality.. just won’t work (tried it in opera 10 alpha and firefox 3.1 beta)

[Edit:] ok.. here’s at least the link [Edit 2]: browsed through earlier contents — found a solution.. at least I hope so ^^

On a sidenote: if anyone has got any idea about how to use QHelpEngine I would really appreciate it. When I’m querying for the identifier using linksForIdentifier(QString) it just won’t work (the map is empty)… once I’ve had a working solution but somehow I forgot to upload it on subversion before I accidently deleted it *WAAAAH*

Yeah.. that’s pretty much it… cya soon

[Edit3]: just got to my mind: allevo is now more browser than IE will ever be

LAN PARTY!!!

A friend of mine just remembered me that I actually have a blog.. well.. what’s a blog for if you just keep ignoring it

I won’t make any promises I can’t keep telling you I’ll blog more often in the future.. well.. I actually did before

So.. where’s the content of this entry.. hm.. pretty few this time actually.. nonetheless: here it comes

Allevo is a vibrating little beast.. everything’s moving .. one day it nearly works, the next day it’s totally broken.. and that’s GOOD! no breakage no (r)evolution

But tomorrow: LAN PARTY *MUHAHA* — get away from hacking and start playing .. well.. actually it’s today ^^

Searching for a film atm I can watch.. don’t want to go to sleep yet..

hm… so.. while writing this I actually wonder where the content has gone .. was just teasing you.. nothing interesting atm.. at least I can’t remember anything important

See you soon.. hopefully ^^

Invitation to Suse Studio

Hey everyone!

Today seems to be my lucky day Back in September iirc I applied for a testing account for Suse Studio.. never got an answer.. today it arrived — I’m in *yeaha*

First I’ve got to say: THANKS

Second: it’s just awesome.. first thing I did was reproduce my currently installed system.. worked fine, branded it with different wallpapers, started it up in browser (!!!) through the Java client.. worked fine

Second: built myself an KDE trunk compile virtual machine.. currently building.. looking forward to my Gtk+ free system ready for compiling KDE on windows (at least in a VM ^^). Completely set up with my bashrc, packages I need for trunk and such stuff.. as soon as compilation progress is finished I’ll start it up in browser, download KDE trunk and than save the image again.. ready to compile houston ^^

*Happy again*

*Going back to suse studio*

Cya soon

Alive and buried under tons of work :p

You see.. I’m still living… not that easy to get rid of me :p

Been really unproductive today.. well.. sometimes one needs to relax :p … my father has finally bought his new TV *sight* (finally .. cause he’s been searching for 3 years).. and… it’s partially broken.. the right speaker won’t work… the luck of my family.. every device we buy is broken

Have also been testing out ReactOS again today with the aim to get Allevo running under it but ROS crashed after installing VMWare drivers before I could get to download Qt :p

Another time another place

Would like to see support for openSUSE build service first… didn’t get it yet how to build an appropriate spec file.. will have to look into that topic again

School also keeps me busy.. maths exam next week and multiple project reviews

Yeah.. that’s life

Cya soon (hopefully)

PS: skiing was cool.. the weather was shit and only one ski lift was open .. but still it was fun .. after all the ski huts are pretty nice places :p

If I don’t come back I’m buried under tons of snow :D

Yeah.. the title says it all … tomorrow will be the first time this year I get the chance to go skiing *jippey* … problem is that we have tons of snow atm because “mother Holle” was really generous lately ^^ .. 470cm on the highest point… 240cm on the lowest… have never seen so much snow… until now … tomorrow I will

My class and of course myself will travel to the Hochkar “mountain” by bus and we’ll have a beautiful ski day .. in theory ^^ … weather for tomorrow is said to be.. let’s say ugly ^^ and snowslide alert is still at the highest possible level (they could slip without any external influence).. well.. we’ll see.. the only thing I know is that I want to go skiing again and that it’s my last chance this year ….

So.. wish me luck

PS: And if the weather’s bad … they still got some ski huts

Operating systems essay and presentation (german)

Hey everyone!

I’m going to present you my first try (and hopefully last) on an essay about Operating Systems. It’s been created under pretty much pressure but I still think it’s a pretty good overview about that big topic…

What I dislike about the fact, me creating the presentation, is that I’ll have to give a speech about it tomorrow… one hour standing in front of a (half)asleep class talking about an interesting topic nobody else of the class is interested in

… and it’s sooo early in the morning …. still… can’t change it.. or can I?

So that you know… the presentation and the essay are in german (my mother tongue).. have fun if you’ve got the language skills to read it .. and no … I don’t think I’ll translate it to english

Update: Hm.. so wordpress won’t show the gallery *thinking*

Update 2: As long as wordpress refuses to show a gallery of the pdfs I’ll just paste the links here:
