Wallpaper: KDE – permanent type
This is the fourth and last wallpaper of the KDE wallpapers week. It is the less “clean” image in this series. I think that it doesn’t match up well with widgets but if you have a virtual desktop clean of plasmoids you will love it. It is so good it may even get you a girlfriend! :p for 4:3 monitors KDE - permanent type - 1600x1200 for 5:4 monitors KDE - permanent type - 1280x1024 for 16:10 monitors KDE - permanent type - 1280x800 KDE - permanent type - 1680x1050 KDE - permanent type - 1920x1200 for 16:9 monitors KDE - permanent type - 1920x1080 KDE – permanent type by Marios Andreopoulos is licensed under a Creative...

Read MoreWallpaper: powered by KDE
Yesterday I decided to play a bit with textures and the result was a KDE wallpaper! I love it and I hope you will like it too! I will post a plain version without the colored straws soon. For the photography savvy this photo was captured with my Canon EOS 500D and the EF 50mm f/1.8 (no mkII version here). You can download it below at various resolutions. Since the files are quite large please respect my bandwidth and download only the ones you need. Each ratio comes from a different crop area of the original, so download the appropriate ratio for your monitor since you can’t get for example the 16:10 image if you crop the large 4:3 image. If you like it...
Read MoreNew theme, new 404 page, new server and zero ads!
Quite some changes happened at the website in the last few hours and I want to write some lines about it. new theme As you can see I installed a new theme. I have fallen in love with it from the first moment I saw it. It is simple and elegant, perfect for a personal site. It may be a bit disorienting that the first post you see on the home page isn’t the most recent post in general but the most recent post in the featured articles category, but I prefer it that way. This change wasn’t easy though. I had to make the theme xLanguage (multilingual) compatible, to fix an issue with international characters, to add some rss icons (borrowed from Atahualpa)...

Read Morewordpress, atahualpa, xLanguage and widget titles translation
My site is implemented in wordpress. I use the very nice atahualpa theme from bytesforall and a special plugin for multilingual websites, xLanguage from Sam Wong. Multilingual support is very important for many people and I hope wordpress will support directly multilingual sites in the future. Currently xLanguage is the best approach in my opinion and I have tried most -if not all- multilingual wordpress plugins. Of course nothing is perfect and the atahualpa and xLanguage combination do not escape from this rule. There are some small problems when you use them together, some titles (widget titles for example) do not get translated. The fix is considered simple but if...
Read MoreFujitsu Amilo Pi 3560 review from a Linux user
This week I bought a new laptop although my old one has still plenty of life in it thanks to Intel. Their graphics drivers suffer for over a year now and for the last months it became just impossible to work with. I appreciate the work of their developers, writing open source graphics’ drivers and leading in general graphics’ drivers, xorg server and linux kernel to a better setup (in-kernel drivers, kms, gem). But the thing is that while they are doing this their drivers are a pain to use. My old laptop, with an Intel T7300 CPU (2GHz, 2 cores, 4MB cache), 2GB of RAM and Intel X3100 can not even run properly firefox, konqueror, openoffice or eclipse. I...
Read Moremusearch: per ebuild USE flag descriptions on your terminal
There is some material I want to upload to the site eventually. I will begin with musearch, a bash script useful to Gentoo Linux users. musearch lets you search for an ebuild and then displays it’s USE flags along with their description. It can be considered as a CLI interface to Mike Valstar’s site gentoo-portage.com. musearch uses portage (emerge), esearch or eix to search for an ebuild by name or by name and description. Then, provided the results aren’t too many (we don’t want to cause unnecessary traffic to gentoo-portage.com), connects to Mike Valstar’s website and downloads the USE flag descriptions for each result, formats them in a...
