This January, God willing and KDE E.V. paying, I'll be in Jamaica for the 1st (hopefully) annual Camp KDE conference. Camp KDE spun out of the KDE 4.0 release event which took place in Mountain View, Cali at Google's place. Legend has it the organizers of the event realized that there were a lot of people who weren't going to the akademies in Europe because they a) couldn't afford it b) had other engangements at that time. I can relate to both points as I was always either in school whenever they had akademy (scheduled too close to end of semester/exam season) or couldn't afford to go.

I've shifted gears from pretending to being a programmer to now pretending to being a packager. Today's adventure is to get macports to build qt4 as a universal app with gcc4.2. To do this I had to manually symlink g++ to g++-4.2 instead of the default g++-4.0.
This error kind of helped me along.

So today I figured out pretteh cuncloosevlay, that the issues amarok was having with the phonon_qt7 backend were wholly amarok's fault. There endeth my involvement with that little debacle. Now we need someone with phonon_foo to come fix it. Anyone foolishly hoping I would be the one to buckle down for the summer and dive into both Amarok and Phonon APIs will be pleasantly disappointed as I have absolutely no intention of doing so. The reasons for this are two-fold: 1) I have a job now which I need to begin preparing for, and 2) I don't believe I can do it.

So I'm being a good little boy today and finishing up the coverimagizer nhnfreespirit started helping me with. Looks like I'll need to be reading a little more of my C++ books too. Today's topic: virtual functions. Today's question: Why can't they have explicitly declared destructors? I have to say, looking at other people code makes this coding thing far easier than it would be otherwise. It's also more fun than looking for apartments in Dayton. Moving sucks. Hope I can find someplace close to work though, but I'll worry about that some other day.
