I’ve read ettrich’s rant about possible improvments to KDE 4 over the current status.
Some things stated are very important, and some I think are way overrated and are mostly just “usability hype”. One of the issues for which ettrich’s got the most flak was his rants about “embedding is the Wrong Thing(tm)”.
שוב רצח פוליטי במדינת ישראל. שוב ימני “קיצוני” מוצא שהדרך היחידה הפתוחה בפניו להביא את האידאלוגיה שלו היא לתקוף חפים מפשע בעזרת נשק קטלני.
קראתי את הפוסט האחרון של xslf באתר שלה (ברוכה השבה לארצנו) ודבר אחד עורר בי תהיה – היא מדברת שם על שני ספרים שקראה, ומקשרת אותם לעמוד המתאים באמזון – כמו שכולם עושים.

Sorry for lack of updates – the last week was boring.
Yesterday Karen and me had to drive to Jerusalem to return a notebook Karen borrowed. It wasn’t very interesting, but we had to drive in the twisting streets of Jerusalem to the phone instructions of the notebook owner, without having a clue as to where we are going. But it all went out OK – it was just a touch and go – we were back in Herzelia 2.5 hours later.
Anyway – the most interesting thing is that Elad Just posted an entry regarding his adventures in Papua New Guinea and it sounds like he was having quite the adventure. Can’t wait for more updates.

את הבסיס לקחתי מאיזה אתר אינטרנט שאני כבר לא זוכר את שמו, ושיניתי אותו די הרבה כי המתכון משתמש בהמון דברים מוכנים שיש בארה”ב ו(א) אין לי במקרר, (ב) כנראה שאין גם בסופר ו(ג)באמת – לקנות מילוי מוכן בקופסה ? על מה האמריקאים המופרעים יחשבו הלאה ?
Correction – my cars smells of good hamburgers.
