The news that Nokia, the cellphone giant, is buying up Trolltech, the company behind Qt framework, which is also one of the core framework used in KDE has probably shaken the much of the open source community, particularly KDE. While their current announcement seems to indicate that Nokia and Trolltech will continue to support open source and KDE, only time will tell if they remain true to this promise.

Ladies and gentlemen, The wait is over. KDE4 is now released. This is the release announcement, http://www.kde.org/announcements/4.0/ I am so eager to download a live CD to try is out!

Ok I gotta admit that I must be the last Linux geek on earth to install Kubuntu Gutsy 7.10 when people are starting to talk about KDE4 RC2 and stuffs. I have been rather busy recently and don't have much time do spend for upgrading the OS. Finally, a few weeks ago, I took some time to attempt to upgrade from Fiesty to Gutsy. As usual, I always backup the OS partition in case anything wrong with the upgrade. After I imaged the partition with Clonezilla, I started Adept Manager and upgraded all my packages and then perform the Version Upgrade as suggested in the upgrade instruction in Kubuntu site. However, the version upgrade installed failed and after restarting, it fails to boot properly. I thought of restoring the partition but later decided to perform a fresh install by download the Kubuntu Gutsy Live CD. After downloading and burning the CD, popped in the CD and launch the Live CD. Installation was smooth and seems faster that when I installed Edgy. This time, instead of choosi...

Okay, out of boredom and curiosity, I did a little self-googling and guess what I found? http://www.yzu.ca/sdba/action/a9over1/sortingMain.swf This is an assignment that my friends and I created for an Algorithm and Data Structure course 6 years ago when we were still doing our first year engineering. This is nostalgic! BTW, recently, Mark LaFamme has attributed this self-googling as masturbation ! So hey, I would like to make it clear that I don't do this often. If I do, I would have discovered the above link much earlier.
