Failure and the early train
Tuesday, July 14th, 2009Take what you can from the title.
I’ll be in on the first available train this morning. Should be interesting - Sunrise on the Jackson street bridge.

Thursday, July 9th, 2009My apartment is an oven. I’ve moved everything that fits in into my bedroom in an attempt to make this place work.
Look up “Thermal mass”. This building has it. In an attempt to minimize the heat, I applied some of the reflective window coating paper to my windows. It’s helped a little, but not enough. Bleh.
On a more pleasant front, I’ve been reading about KDE 4.3, and i’m excited. For the first time in the last 18 months, I think KDE may actually be useable.
I love KDE. I really do. Unfortunately, I’m not a developer. I can’t deal with my desktop being severely lacking needed features. Since 4.0, KDE has been steadily adding features that 3.5 had, and it may once again become the desktop of choice.
Sadly, it could easily be over a year before I have a KDE desktop that I like. The recent release of Fedora 11 included KDE 4.2, which means that theoretically, Fedora 12 will include 4.3, if the release dates line up. Maybe when Fedora 13 rolls around, I’ll have myself a nice KDE 4.4 desktop.
Any bets on whether or not Fedora 13 will actually be named as such?
