A rather jolly fellow pointed out that I'm still aggregated on planetkde.org and kindly requested, in the most polite way possible for me to be mindful of this. Well not really politely, but I'm sure the spirit of politeness was there.
As I don't think I can remove myself anymore, and will probably by posting to my blog, someone with the powers that be should de-aggregate me.
Ladies. Gentlemen. Gather 'round. Today I'd like to share with you an encounter I had this past week. Me and the family got home early last Sunday and, as is our custom, we ate food and stared at each other. My wife had a brilliant idea however and suggested that we go to a block party the city was holding. Having nothing better to do at the time, we went.
I haven't blogged at all in 2011. Guess school and marriage and kids can do that to a guy. I'd leave a pic, but you've already see him if you're on FB. And if not, I don't want you to see my kids. :-) Happy Easter.
I just, painstakingly, posted about 10 Facebook comments, with the following info, chronicling the steps I took to try and fix my T-Mobile Vibrant, which was hard bricked
; then I realized I have a blog where I could have posted this info and be able to get at it much easier for the next time I brick my Vibrant.
So without further ado, here's how I fixed it. A quick shout out to God for making me persistent enough to not give up. 'Preciate it aaaaaaaaaand LOVE YAH (lots) :-)
And who doesn't? Like curves I mean. I'm not just talking about any old curves here though.
The QtCurve style for KDE is, as far as I can tell, an attempt to unify the desktop UI experience between Gnome and KDE, and a darn good one at that.
Some kindly soul has updated KDE 4.3.0 in macports (jeremy, not me). Some other kindly soul has updated the dependencies for amarok-devel in macports (yup, me). Maybe one day (hopefully, before 2.2 is actually out) Amarok itself will also be updated.
For 10.4 users oh yaaaaaay.
That should be sung to the tune of the Mighty Mouse jingle btw.
I committed a change to macports which should allow users on OS 10.4 to compile KDE 4.2 – once they sudo port sync. Enjoy. And uh, lemme know if it actually works. Only tested this out on automoc which, let's face it, isn't the most rigorous of evaluations.
Apparently if you go through all the trouble of typing that one command: sudo port install amarok-devel, amarok trunk will be thine.
Why don't these things ever work so well for me? Don't I deserve it?
As things seem to be working I'll update normal amarok to 2.1.1. Someone should tell me if it works since for me, it'll probably not work without some haxxxing. You know, because I don't deserve it.
I wonder if it's because I'm getting an android phone...
Do they know?
The KDE group of portfiles've been updated to 4.2.4. This might fix the massive breakage that occured when the 4.2.0 tarballs disappeared into the InterEther months ago. Or not.
Some other changes are the addition of liblastfm, taglib-extras and qtscriptgenerator. That's right, everything you need to get your bleeding edge fix of amarok. Except amarok itself.
Installing it requires stuff I'm not going to put in a portfile because Saturday's pretty much done and I've already got it working for me. Muahahahahahahahahahahahaahaaaaaaaaaah.
The following pertains to Aaron's blog post. It is in direct response to this sentence That means you'll look and work native on Windows, Mac, KDE and GNOME if you write using Qt.
To which I replied via comment.
NO. NO. NO. NO. NO.
I've said it once and I'll say it a thousand more times: Qt does not look native on Mac OS X.
As a matter of fact it currently (4.5) looks like the bastard step-child of 10.3, 4, 5, and something else.
I feel like I should blog about something but have nothing particularly compelling to say. As that's never stopped me before, and for no other reason than it's the end of the month and my sidebar tell me I have no entries for May, I'll do it anyway. Time to retreat to the good ol' standard then: Bitch, bitch, moan. You were warned.
On my running system, from a fresh log in, KDE reveals 1268876 K memory usage in GNOME vs. 1279348 K memory usage in KDE 4. That is a change of 10472 K. Granted, this is not a huge difference.
This was taken from an article which I won't bother linking to. It doesn't need anymore traffic. I just thought I point something out as it's Saturday, I'm bored and I had a long day in the lab yesterday and need to vent and for some reason the previous quote from an article which shall remain nameless just annoyed me.
Perhaps I woke up cranky. *ahem*
Howdy do all you out there in interland. This one is mostly for A. L. to get her to stop pouting.
Today, boys and girls, I'll be speaking about macports. Macports is a ports-like package management thing
for OS X. For all my arch linux peeps, it's like the AUR for PKGBUILDs, but you need privileges to check in. It's both easy to use and easy to break. Er, easy to contribute to I meant. These contributions are known as Portfiles
; text files defining various things necessary to compile your software of interest.
That compiling cocoa and qt3support in Qt 4.5 at the same time isn't possible. Yip. Currently Amarok 2 and kdegames are only things that don't crash when KDE is run with qt 4.5 + cocoa. Maybe Dolphin too.
That's all. Back to butchering the kde-mac site.
