The Incredibles
Short story: Superb movie

Well I’ve been staying up working on Tacky because I wanted to post this using the Preview mode. KParts itself was surprisingly painless. Making KHTML render the fonts like Konqueror was a little harder, but I’ve got that problem solved (Hint: Copy konquerorrc’s Fonts settings from the HTML Settings group to your own KConfig file first).

I can’t think of any one thing to blog about, so I’ll just blog about many little things.
JuK + gstreamer
wheels commited support for gstreamer-0.8 a few hours ago. Note that, like amarok which had this first, that the KDE GST bindings in kdenonbeta are not required. I had problems getting this to build using unsermake because gstreamer-0.8 puts -Wl,–export-dynamic into the lib flags which interferes with the LDADD variable (at least with unsermake). I’ve patched configure.in.in and Makefile.am here to make it work, but I need to go over it with wheels because it’s probably an ugly hack I have here. Anyways, now that I got JuK to link, I switched it over to gstreamer output, and it works (more or less). There seems to be a problem resuming playback, which I’ll look into however.

Someone asked a question on #kde-devel the other day, wondering what the best way to do a stream insertion operator was. Their first suggestion was to do something like the following:
Lunar Eclipse
I took some pictures of the lunar eclipse from Jacksonville Florida. I didn’t have a tripod so it’s blurrier than it needs to be, but they seem to have turned out OK anyways. Here’s a sample:
