Wonders from a KDE fan and developer about some KDE design choices

Technologies going forward.. Twenty years ago, I was reading some books about Unix at the local library. By the time, it was really difficult for me to see, touch, or test an actual unix system and reading books was the closest I could get. I remember

Installing an avr cross compiler in gentoo

One could think that this is as easy as crossdev avr but it is not, so i write here how I did it for future reference, and hopefully this will also be useful to other people. The first problem is that it does not check compatibility between toolchain

updating to KDE 4.2.1 : delete your plasma files (again)

Thanks to the great work of the gentoo KDE packaging team, I have been able to update to KDE 4.2.1 yesterday. And since then, a couple of processes suck up all my CPUs. The first one is a well-known issue : lancelot does that when used with Qt 4.5. Ok,

Asus G1S-A1 1.3M Pixel webcam adventure

I use gentoo linux on my laptop (G1S-A1). Everything is working including wireless, bluetooth, media keys etc. The only thing that annoys me is when I use skype beta (with video) or any other webcam utility. The webcam image is 180° inverted!! I know it
