As a result of my playing with mootools and creating powerpoint-style slideshows on webpages
from restructured text, I am pretty much decided about turning this into a standalone, real

Now, I don't know if this is useful, but I do think it's way neat.
Inspired by S5_, rst2s5_, and mootools_ I took an hour (or two) and hacked this neat little slide tool.
The goals differ from S5 in that I intend to write a frontend, so that you have a sort of very-poor-man's powerpoint, but also in that the output should be simple to embed in other pages so that I can eventually make this a part of bartleblog.

There may be an artifact when you slide out the syntax-highlighted boxes, but I have no idea how to fix it.
Also, I have not tested it at all in IE, so if it fails there, don't worry, that's to be expected!

------------------
It's trivial to display source code, with
proper syntax highlighting.

feature I deem cool.
It does things simply

Wanna show a flickr photo?

How about using openomy.com to share your files?
And whatever else you can think of, it probably
**can** be done.
It's very easy to extend

Really. It's simple python code.

Mexico way. ...

I have refactored IUP/Qt into a lovely object hierarchy. And I now remember why I dislike C++. ...
Ok, here is version 0.0.1 of my Qt4 backend for IUP . It's not very good, but a bunch of things

I have callbacks (some), geometry management, LED files loading (resource files) and it
seems no hard parts are left. ...
Of course you know that means nothing, but yes, after a few hours of hacking, I got enough of a Qt

Ok, here it goes. If you are not fluent in Qt programming the following entry will make no sense
whatsoever :-) ...
Ok, so teaser number 3 was a long time ago ;-) ...
Looks like the kind fellows at kde-redhat.sf.net have a working PyKDE, and I got it while I was
upgrading. ...
Yet Another Tutorial. This time, it should be about writing apps for KDE that rely on DBs to
handle their data. ...
Since KRecipes seems to be using QSQLite without much trouble , it seems the nice guys who
adopted it have fixed it enough to work.
So, I just sent a proposal to kde-core-devel to include it somewhere visible, and thus
encourage people to use DBs in their apps. Let's see how it turns out. ...
Sadly, not a really usable version, but I got sidetracked by PyKDE and KFTE first. KRsN really
needs just a couple of days loving.
So, if you REALLY REALLY want to try it, get >PyQt for Qt 3.1 working, and then head for KRsN's
sourceforge page, and get it via CVS ...
I just committed changes that make KFTE work on KDE 3.1
For anyone who likes FTE , a traditional programmer's editor from OS/2 (and DOS, and Mac, and X,
and linux console, and pretty much everywhere :-), this version provides a pure Qt and a KDE
version. ...
So, I mentined KRsN on a couple of public places.
I even said stuff about it being available by the weekend. So I better get my hands dirty now! ;-) ...
Well, just uploaded my hacked KDE 3.1 version of PyKDE to
ftp://upload.kde.org/incoming/unstable/KDE3.x so it should propagate to the KDE mirrors
soon.
It seems to work well, even if it doesn't expose ALL the KDE 3.1 API, and it should be useful as a
stopgap until the authors release the real thing. ...
Not only can you now reach this humble weblog through ggl:lateral+opinion (if you are using
KDE, of course), but a look at my referrers show that the follwing google searches have gotten
the searcher here: ...
Well, just because I want to use KHTML in KRsN, I got the latest PyKDE. It says it is for KDE up to
3.0.3 ... ...
Well, if you are one of the 6 who actually checked the link in the previous entry, you will know I
am writing a news aggregator ;-) ...
The link goes to a message by Havoc Pennington describing D-BUS, a IPC technology being
developed for use in Red Hat, and perhaps as a future (think 18 months) replacement for DCOP and
maybe Bonobo's IPC mechanism. ...
This is the first article in what will hopefully will become a series explaining how a little
creativity can enrich the KDE desktop experience, maybe using a not-very-popular feature. ...
Prepare for a flamefest of moderate proportions, courtesy of LinuxWorld. ...
Weird article in dot.kde.org. ...
Well, I have been wanting to have a weblog for a while, specially since I got a permanent
Internet connection at home. ...
Man, I'm in such a coding high, I feel like I've been smoking funny stuff.
KFTE now has the rudiments of a DCOP interface, and I decided this stuff is so cool, all apps
should be extendable through external DCOP scripts. ...
Well, 6 months without posting an entry.
I must confess I was pretty pissed at some people around here at the time (note to self: maybe
putting my real email address here is not such a good idea. Some people are really scary). ...
Uraeus , my friend, I will only tell you two things:
...
Nice: http://www.linuxplanet.com/linuxplanet/opinions/2281/1/
I still say "I'll believe it when I see it", but at least I have SOME hopes of seing it. ...
mazeone : If I give a copy of whatever to Joe, he is now in compliance, because accepting the copy
is legal (he is not forced to assure MY compliance), and the copy contains only GPLd code. You
could argue that I would be breaking the license one last time, but what's another stripe on the
tiger? ;-)
brother : It's not a matter of black helicopters, at all. It's a matter of having a package
(kdelibs) that Debian already said has no licensing problems, and still it never gets into
Debian, after many many months. Why should I believe KDE will change their minds? After all,
again, it was not licensing that kept kdelibs out! In fact, I still have not seen any rational
explanation on why kdelibs was removed in the first place, except that they were wrong about
the license of something in it (gettext). They were wrong. They knew it. Did they put it back? Of
course not. ...
Joey, if Debian includes KDE now, I will be happy to apologize. BTW: Debian can just get a copy,
you are excepted by section 4, which RMS told me is the one about forfeiting rights. You will be
in compliance, and you can keep on redistributing it, so Debian still has no excuse. Go ahead,
MAKE ME APOLOGIZE, that's what I want most than anything.
Tladuca: what you see here is just rage and frustration. Because that's about all I have left in
me regarding RMS, the FSF, etc. If it bothers you, too bad, really. I'm gonna keep on coding, but
I now know that whatever we do we will never get the respect of the FSF, or RMS, because they seem
to just dislike us for politics, because I refuse to believe this hackneyed forgiveness thing
is serious, since it's trivial to fix (even if you take the most hardcore position on it). Too
bad for them. I don't care anymore. ...
Ok, I swear this is my last entry of today.
So that people can understand why RMS pisses me off so much: for YEARS he has been saying that the
problem with KDE was that the QPL and the GPL were incompatible, and that if they were not
incompatible, there would be no problem. ...
To those saying "oh, no, Debian was just waiting for the licensing problems to clear up", read
and cry:
...
Oh, joy, I'm coding :-) I'm doing a bunch of things, trying to decide on a largish project to
tackle (that is not as scary as porting KRN to KDE2).
One of the things is a KDE style, I call Note, although it could be called flat . ...
Ok, so there goes the idea of speedy reporting ;-)
I did present my thing after the previous post, and I did it in front of a whole lot of people. It
went well, even if a bit faster than I expected. The Q & A part was nice, and only one question
contained the word license ;-) ...
It's 2:30 AM, and instead of being arriving at rosario for the 1ra Jornada Linux, I am here in my
office polishing the slides.
I am either too responsible, or the exact opposite :-) ...
Well, KDE Beta 3 is working quite nicely, and I'm now finally confident that I can actually code
for it.
So, it's time to go crazy, get a computer, and redo KRN. ...
The new dock-based, MT KRN is advancing well, although the amount of things broken in it is a bit
scary. Of course the code to do all the things 0.6.11 did is still there (and anyway, that's what
CVS exists for ;-) but it is totally divorced from the UI.
On other issues, I got over slashdot today, after a long while. After I thought the site had
reached the bottom, they get a shovel and dig deeper :-P ...
KRN is now multithreaded! Ok, not really, in at least two ways.
One way in which KRN is not multithreaded, is in that it is done using GNU Pth, which is not "real"
multithreading, but cooperative userspace multithreading. Of course that if I had to make
KRN reentrant and threadsafe, it would not be multithreaded in any way. ...
Well, this is the first entry. I have wanted to keep a diary on a semi-public place for a while, I
guess this is as good a moment to start as ny other.
I am a KDE developer, my most widely known program being KRN. After a long hiatus I restarted
development a couple of months ago, after I decided the current state was a bit embarrasing. ...
