Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the universe is winning.

Gadgets
Got a new gadget the other day, it’s a GPS, a Garmin etrex Legend HCx, it fits great in the palm of my hand and on my bike. I’ve uploaded City Navigator Maps and gave it a testrun today and it works like a charm. Navigating by the map is not that easy, it’s to small, but I changed the interface to show me turn by turn navigation and that helped a lot.
I’m about to try the TOPO maps of sweden since I’m going hiking there en about a month, I’ll let you know how the unit baves under those conditions.
First week
Summerbreak is over, I’ve been at work for the last week, planning and getting ready for the kids. And I have to say that I’m a little bit tired :-s
I hvae upgraded my laptop to KDE 4.1 and I have to admit that it is a bit crippled by the Nvidia drivers (it’s a nvidia 8400 GS graphics chip) but hopefully that will be sorted soon…
KDE 4.1 first impressions
well… I’ve installed KDE 4.1 from experimental and besides from wierd crashes when i log in (with plasmoids upside down and garbled screens) it behaves, more or less 😉 As I said, it have been installed from experimental and the buildnumber is 4.1.0-1, some bugs are to be expected! I’m really exited to see the development of the KDE 4.1 packages in Debian!
The Desktopeffects are really cool, not as extravagant as Compiz but that’s ok in my book. The only really bothersome bug for me right now is the ALT+TAB “walkthroughwindows” funktion doesn’t walk through the windows from all the desktops and I can’t find a way to make it :-s
KDE 4.1 has been released!
…and the packages is in experimental. can’t wait to check them out!
Upgraded
wordpress version 2.6. And now, Coffee!
Speaking of fish
As mentioned here I have been experimenting with ical, korganizer and KDE’s fish protocol. It sort-of worked but korganizer was sometimes very slow to save after a change and it was always the fishbits that hang… So I fiddled a bit more with webdav, it’s up and running now and hopefully it will be a bit more stable than fish:
Tea anyone?

Iceweasel 3
I’ve just upgraded my firefox/iceweasel to version 3… Besides that I lost my back/forward mousebuttons, no complaints so far…
Networking
I got a mail from my ISP, my networkproblems should be over 🙂
I’m a happy camper!!
