Fixed some minor konq/e bugs. Now it works fine with the unique-application mechanism of QPE.

Get more and more email from people asking about konq/e . Cool :)

Hacked KPresenter. Rewrote the image handling to utilize the new KoImage and KoImageCollection classes. Was quite some work, but it was fun. Hope I didn't break anything ;-) , although I didn't experience any problems, yet.

Feels good to hack some koffice stuff again.

Did some scheme hacking for university. Read today what we will have a bit more time for the upcoming exam than expected. Wohoo!

Arghl, I shouldn't stay up so long and hack KDE stuff. Need to really get more sleep ;-)

Didn't have much time for hacking, but used what I had left for hunting down the bug which made popupmenus disappear when clicking and slightly moving the cursor (or stick on the ipaq) a few pixels and then releasing. Sounds weird, but was very annoying and made the startmenu in QPE and the two popup menus in Konq/e unusable sometimes. But maybe it was just me :) . Well, patch for QPE sent (hope they approve it) and fixed in konq/e directly. Or maybe the real fix belongs into Qt?

Switched from HEAD to KDE_2_1_1_RELEASE tag for libs and base at home, for testing. I have a good feeling.

Had nice discussions about unix desktop, windows, IDEs (in particular C++ editors ;-) and other stuff with mhk, Rasmus, Matthias (welcome back from Norway :) and Schimmi in the Irish Pub.

Oh I love jffs2 and the fact that it gives a rw / . Thanks to the guy(s) who implemented it. It's so nice to update stuff without having to flash over the serial line. Combined with the fact that qpe and konq/e work fine with suspend I really enjoy the box and start to see a real usage in the future :) . Still need a 32x32 icon for konq/e tho, the current scaled one looks horrible ;-)

Matthias told me about nethack being fun on the box. Really have to try it ASAP :)

It all started pretty boring, had a hard time to get up and learning in the university was no fun.

David made tarballs for the upcoming 2.1.1 release, wohoo!

Also flashed jffs2 images and a new experimental bootloader onto the ipaq: finally deep-sleep and resume work! The guys who implemented that rock!! Amazing stuff!

Will see about replacing the existing system with qpe and konq/e (I want to play qpe solitaire again! :-) But d'oh!! There's no more vi in familiar v0.03! How is one supposed to edit files?? ;-) And vim doesn't x-compile right away. grmbl.

Also cvs up'ed QPE and saw that some brilliant artist added wonderful large icons! Awesome work! (I guess they're shaping up for CeBit :-)

That's about it, I couldn't hack anything myself today :-( (just comitted the khtml patch from last night) . Simply was too tired after learning.

Kind of closed the day with a Black Velvet and a tasty Pizza Hawai in the nearby Irish Pub, with friends from Caldera. That's how I like closing a day, it's just the right thing.
