yesterday i went to a local open source festival where i presented the keynote (talked about kde4), did a talk on developing widgets with libplasma and then participated in a panel discussion. it was a relatively small event, but a good event all the same. met a some people that i had some really good conversations with and made a few useful connections as well, i think. generally positive way to spend my time. was a bit tired by the end of it all, so after taking the p-man out for a sushi dinner (he attended the event with me and was an angel the whole day) we can home, watched a video and then went to bed somewhat early (22:00 or so).
frerich's working on a little plasmoid viewer to make it easier to develop widgets for plasma as you don't have to restart the whole plasma desktop, just fired up this one little app. it doesn't do formfactors yet or anything, but that should be easy to add. it should be joining the engine explorer in svn soon in a new tools/ directory under workspace/plasma.
a few people are now testing and helping to debug plasma on xinerama so we should have that actually working properly by 4.0. yay! thanks a heap especially to Andreas Pakulat for his patience and testing. (if you see debug output that says "APAKU" in front it, that's a reference to Andreas)
the P-man is at a friend's right now on a "play date" (which essentially means "the parents scheduled a time for the kids to get together and play" .. ah, this modern world of parenting!) so i had a couple hours to myself to catch up with the weekend's email and patches.
i was meaning to keep this weekend fairly easy going, though i guess in retrospect i've been pretty busy the whole time. p's school event on friday evening; cossfest on saturday; playdate and some hacking today... but i don't feel tired, which is good. means i've turned a good corner.
this coming week is p's week at his mom's so i'll be able to go pretty hardcore on kde work. i'm looking forward to it.

you did use the shift key, don't you?
The shift key's getting to you. It left its traces, which means you can't just avoid it completely anymore :P
On other note, I'm waiting impatiently for RC1 on Tuesday!!! I'd compile from SVN but I don't really know how to and haven't found a good guide yet. I'll probably look into that soon.
Good luck on the week of hardcore coding (hardcoding? My new word of the day! then again it's KDE so hardKoding :P)
@Javier
No good guide? Obviously you haven't checked techbase: http://techbase.kde.org ;)
(This is a pretty good start)
I'm neither your nor P's mom, but reading your text, it seems he's quite young.
In my cultural "frame", too young to be watching video 'till 2200. How old is he, what did you watch? I'm just curious...
@anonymous the latter: 'In my cultural "frame", too young to be watching video 'till 2200.'
something i've discovered while traveling about the world is that this is indeed very much a cultural issue.
while having a kid out and about with you past, say, 20:00 on a school night or even much later on a weekend gets you odd looks around here ... it's completely average to see whole families along with their little ones out in the town square at midnight to visit, eat and generally enjoy the cool air in countries with warmer climates.
that said, our whole family is made up of night owls. our "natural" rhythm seems to be set to the evening hours; this is true for me, my sister, p's mom and some of her family as well.
on school nights, as p has to get up at ~07:30 he goes to bed by 21:00 at the latest. this gives him up to 10.5 hours of sleep a night. the recommended average for kids his age is 10 hours, though that's just an average and it varies greatly from child to child.
as evidence of this, p. usually wakes up on his own before his wake up time alert and ready to go.
in fact, if i put him to bed too early, he just wakes up earlier in the morning and screws up everyone's day ;)
'How old is he,'
he was born at the turn of the century.
'what did you watch?'
a batman cartoon =)
ah .. i should also note that on the weekends, i care a lot less about what time he goes to bed. he's pretty good about picking his own bed time on the weekends. he was up a good 2 hours before me today ;)
@hans: it's very technical, I don't understand some of the aspects. I'd pretty much need a "for dummies" guide at this point. I'm learning really quickly though so hopefully I'll soon have it compiled.
