An OCS drill competition

This probably won’t be of interest to most of you, but thanks to the help of someone from #kde-devel, I’ve transferred my drill competition video from DVD to a form you can download and view over the Internet. I have a rather wimpy Internet server, so you’ll have to use BitTorrent to get it (it’s around 140 MB large). You can find it at my drill competition page.

First KDE bugfix since returning

Today I fixed my first bug since I got back from OCS.

Readjusting

I’ve been readjusting to having some time off. Unfortunately I won’t have a lot of time off, and besides, I’ve been busy getting ready to leave again. My wife and I are down to considering two homes in the Charleston area (both townhouses, the apartments are simply ridiculously expensive if you have pets). Of course, there’s a lot of packing to be done here as well.

I’m back

Well, I’m back.

Yes, I’m still alive

Well, I’m just posting to let everyone who was wondering know that I’m still alive, after 9 weeks of Officer Candidate School. I now have 5 weeks left, although only the next week is going to be hair-raising. The week after will be cake, and the last 3 weeks will be in the Candidate Officer phase, where my class will be responsible for the orderly functioning of Officer Candidate School.

Last update in awhile

Well, I’m currently in the process of preparing to leave tomorrow for Officer Candidate School. It will be an adjustment to say the least. For those who are wondering, the experience of an officer in the Navy are recounted here.

SPC with JuK

Short story is that it sorta, kinda works at this point. It’s actually sorta, kinda worked on my computer for a couple of weeks now, but I haven’t had time to finish it. Now that I’m about to leave for 3 months or so, I figured I’d let everyone know about the partially completed work. Maybe it’ll be done when I get back. Hint: Help clee finish gst-spc first, as that’s universally useful. ;-)

Konqueror hacking

For those of you who don’t frequent kfm-devel, I’ve posted a patch against KHTML to the mailing list to show the image you’re dragging during a drag and drop operation.

New BitTorrent

There’s a beta release of the next BitTorrent program. My notes:

Delayed update

First off, Happy New Year’s Day to everybody. It’s been a pretty hectic holidays for me. Christmas was great, and I even had my grandma mail down some of her absolutely incredible fudge candies. :-). I also got a nifty laser-leveling system, a few video games, some gift certificates, and some Steelers merchandise. Here’s hoping it leads them to a Super Bowl victory for the first time in almost 25 years.
