And who doesn't? Like curves I mean. I'm not just talking about any old curves here though.
The QtCurve style for KDE is, as far as I can tell, an attempt to unify the desktop UI experience between Gnome and KDE, and a darn good one at that.

Some kindly soul has updated KDE 4.3.0 in macports (jeremy, not me). Some other kindly soul has updated the dependencies for amarok-devel in macports (yup, me). Maybe one day (hopefully, before 2.2 is actually out) Amarok itself will also be updated.

For 10.4 users oh yaaaaaay.
That should be sung to the tune of the Mighty Mouse jingle btw.

I committed a change to macports which should allow users on OS 10.4 to compile KDE 4.2 – once they sudo port sync. Enjoy. And uh, lemme know if it actually works. Only tested this out on automoc which, let's face it, isn't the most rigorous of evaluations.

Apparently if you go through all the trouble of typing that one command: sudo port install amarok-devel, amarok trunk will be thine.
Why don't these things ever work so well for me? Don't I deserve it?
As things seem to be working I'll update normal amarok to 2.1.1. Someone should tell me if it works since for me, it'll probably not work without some haxxxing. You know, because I don't deserve it.

I wonder if it's because I'm getting an android phone...
Do they know?

The KDE group of portfiles've been updated to 4.2.4. This might fix the massive breakage that occured when the 4.2.0 tarballs disappeared into the InterEther months ago. Or not.

Some other changes are the addition of liblastfm, taglib-extras and qtscriptgenerator. That's right, everything you need to get your bleeding edge fix of amarok. Except amarok itself.

Installing it requires stuff I'm not going to put in a portfile because Saturday's pretty much done and I've already got it working for me. Muahahahahahahahahahahahaahaaaaaaaaaah.

The following pertains to Aaron's blog post. It is in direct response to this sentence That means you'll look and work native on Windows, Mac, KDE and GNOME if you write using Qt. To which I replied via comment.

NO. NO. NO. NO. NO.
I've said it once and I'll say it a thousand more times: Qt does not look native on Mac OS X.
As a matter of fact it currently (4.5) looks like the bastard step-child of 10.3, 4, 5, and something else.

I feel like I should blog about something but have nothing particularly compelling to say. As that's never stopped me before, and for no other reason than it's the end of the month and my sidebar tell me I have no entries for May, I'll do it anyway. Time to retreat to the good ol' standard then: Bitch, bitch, moan. You were warned.

On my running system, from a fresh log in, KDE reveals 1268876 K memory usage in GNOME vs. 1279348 K memory usage in KDE 4. That is a change of 10472 K. Granted, this is not a huge difference.

This was taken from an article which I won't bother linking to. It doesn't need anymore traffic. I just thought I point something out as it's Saturday, I'm bored and I had a long day in the lab yesterday and need to vent and for some reason the previous quote from an article which shall remain nameless just annoyed me.
Perhaps I woke up cranky. *ahem*

Howdy do all you out there in interland. This one is mostly for A. L. to get her to stop pouting.
Today, boys and girls, I'll be speaking about macports. Macports is a ports-like package management thing for OS X. For all my arch linux peeps, it's like the AUR for PKGBUILDs, but you need privileges to check in. It's both easy to use and easy to break. Er, easy to contribute to I meant. These contributions are known as Portfiles; text files defining various things necessary to compile your software of interest.

That compiling cocoa and qt3support in Qt 4.5 at the same time isn't possible. Yip. Currently Amarok 2 and kdegames are only things that don't crash when KDE is run with qt 4.5 + cocoa. Maybe Dolphin too.
That's all. Back to butchering the kde-mac site.

'sudo port sync' then 'sudo port install/upgrade koffice-devel' to join the fun.
That is all.

All the interesting parts of KDE 4.2.0 are now in macports. A port search kde4 on my machine says there are 21 ports available: digikam, digikampluskipi-latest, digikampluskipi-svn, kdebase4, kdebase4-runtime, kdeedu-svn, kdeedu4, kdegames4, kdegraphics-svn, kdegraphics4, kdelibs4, kdemultimedia4, kdenetwork4, kdepim4, kdepimlibs4, kdesdk4, kdeutils4, koffice2-devel, ktorrent, phonon and qimageblitz. There is also amarok and amarok-devel which for some reason wasn't listed by the command above. Executing that particular command on my machine is a bit misleading though.

So hey, I watched this movie a few months ago called Fireproof. It's a christian movie about a firefighter who's having marital troubles with his wife. Now that the movie's out on DVD I'm hearing about it on the radio and it seems like it's becoming kind of a big thing. The fact that this movie even got released in theaters surprised me.

Hey there. Last night, at apparently 10:41 p.m. KDE 4.2.0 went into macports. It is but a sudo port sync away. That's not really important though. :-)
The real reason for this entry is Dragon Player. It works. Much to my surprise - evidenced by the comment below in the kdemultimedia4 portfile.

default_variants    +no_dragon

variant no_dragon description "Do not install dragon player" {
# In the future when Ian cares about OS X (and we have robots)
# this won't have to be the default

And I'm finally at Camp KDE. American Airlines sucked. Really, don't ever take them if you can avoid it.

In more cheery news meeting the "North American" KDE Krew was pretty cool. Oh, and wifi works. And the sea is awesome. Did I mention there's a water park just down the street? Yeah.
