Clarence Dang's Blog: Re: We’ve got a couple of feet in our sights
http://clarencedang.blogspot.com/2006/12/re-weve-got-couple-of-feet-in-our.html
Monday, December 25, 2006. Re: We’ve got a couple of feet in our sights. Regarding a few things Boudewijn Rempt wrote about the look of KDE. 1 I actually thought Keramik was stunning during the early builds of KDE 3.1 - it was the perfect balance between good eye candy and not being so noticeable that it got in the way. Unfortunately, I believe it changed in the final KDE 3.1 (please correct me if I'm wrong) and the gradients became too striking. Perhaps a good idea would be to ship RCs with some themes ...

Clarence Dang's Blog: March 2007
http://clarencedang.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 08, 2007. Going to the ACM programming contest in Tokyo. We came equal 44th. Out of 88. While it's generally invalid to draw certain comparisons in such competitions (since you can jump a large of number of rankings by debugging just an extra problem), I'll draw one anyway: we equalled CMU and beat Harvard :) However, pretty much all of the other unis I listed below beat us easily. The University of Auckland is a deserving South Pacific Champion with a Bronze Medal. While the qualificatio...

Clarence Dang's Blog: August 2006
http://clarencedang.blogspot.com/2006_08_01_archive.html
Saturday, August 26, 2006. While claiming I have had no time over the last couple of months, I've watched a whole bunch of DVDs. Here's my take on them:. 1 Austin Powers in Goldmember. Austin Powers goes to battle Dr. Evil's latest plan involving an evil villain (name a villain that isn't evil BTW) Goldmember and save the world as usual. A plotless movie with hopeless jokes. Similar in content and style to Scary Movie 1/2/3. 2 The Day After Tomorrow. The next ice age has arrived. People are frozen so...

Clarence Dang's Blog: Using a HP PSC 1315 as a scanner under Fedora Core 4
http://clarencedang.blogspot.com/2007/04/using-hp-psc-1315-as-scanner-under.html
Monday, April 23, 2007. Using a HP PSC 1315 as a scanner under Fedora Core 4. I've been told (see the comments) that the Linux support works out-of-the-box these days with newer distros. Also, I've got nothing against hplip - it's just that hpoj was the first one I got working with such an old distro. I ran into numerous difficulties setting up this scanner because of conflicting information on the internet and also instructions that just didn't seem to work for my setup. By the way, I initially found th...

Clarence Dang's Blog: Offline GMail?
http://clarencedang.blogspot.com/2007/05/offline-gmail.html
Thursday, May 31, 2007. With today's announcement of Google Gears. An open source browser extension that lets developers create web applications that can run offline" - I'd like to make a somewhat obvious prediction that GMail will feature a disconnected mode within, say, 2 years. It looks like Google is seriously entering the desktop space. I've already got that. it's called kmail. ;). Except kmail has much more powerful filtering. and gpg support. and so on. 11:05 pm, May 31, 2007.

Clarence Dang's Blog: A few scripts that could be useful
http://clarencedang.blogspot.com/2006/12/few-scripts-that-could-be-useful.html
Monday, December 25, 2006. A few scripts that could be useful. I just uploaded some scripts. I've had lying around for months. Hope they're useful:. Starts the DBUS server since it's not done automatically. Sure beats typing. Eval `dbus-launch - auto-syntax`. And copying environment variables all the time. It looks like DBUS. Has an auto-starting feature now, via. So this script is no longer needed). An "svn up" that takes half the bandwidth. A poor person's distributed revision control system.
