KDE

GNOME

Found mpd and gmpc today. I think I'll try to get GStreamer support for the daemon and then build up my home audio system from them.

Shopping

A friend called me today and told me that an online shop had very cheap beamers offered (166 EUR instead of 1666 EUR). I just ordered one of them.

KDE

Skipped today's talks at the aKademy. Going to see the recorded streams of the interesting ones.

Work & University

Hey, been to work the first time for almost 3 weeks now. Now it's back to JSP and Java coding (I think I will miss the C/C++ Linux development).

Have been happy that I hadn't attended our company's party yesterday, our graphic guys were just doing lots of useless editing of photos just to enjoy us developers and testers.

I still need to to lots hacking for our university project. Hopefully I will find time this weekend (I guess it would be better for me if I didn't hack on criawips too long).

GNOME & Criawips

Didn't have much time today to work on these areas, finally I got registered for the aKademy (KDE conference 2004 nearby Stuttgart) today.

Real Life

Slept very long, missed the C# and .NET intruduction at the university; wento to work, went home, planning to spend a nice evening in the bar of our students dormitory.

criawips:

Release a first preview version of criawips after a night of hacking. Criawips is now a cute slide viewer that basically supports stretched background images and text in front of it.

Sadly, I haven't been able to create more than my private test file. But as I'm going to use criawips this weekend in Wilhelmshaven for 3 GNOME related talks, there going to be some examples in the next version, ask me directly (per mail) for a sample if you're interested.

GNOME:

Though I met David Malcom on GUADEC last year I just tested conglomerate to write a docbook file and I was really amazed. Really cool piece of software for text editing.

Life:

Had some stress this night (I was only hacking), but I really need the app to get off until the weekend for the GNOME presentations mentioned above. The weekend's promising to become a lot of fun, meeting lots of new Free Software folks, getting closer to Debian people (I still need one Debian dev to sign my gpg key...), presenting GNOME, talking to the KDE guys in front of us, (cool stuff, so much info and still no beer), and -- of course -- beeeeer. I still don't know how to fix up a slide viewer, write 3 presentations AND set up a routing machine for the weekend, but I think I'm going to figure out...
