i will survive

kde desktop deployment workshop
i swear i'm crouching

so i made it through the weekend. and what a weekend it was! not much sleep, but lots of fun and partying. rave, birthday party, KDE desktop deployment workshop, online chat at the mid summer eve's web festival.. whew!

the workshop went really well. people were pretty blown away to see what kde's kiosk can do. the morning consisted of a kpresenter presentation (practice for aKademy ;) while the afternoon was hands on with kiosktool and kwrite. kiosk is really a lot of fun as it gives people the ability to tweak and conform kde in instant and powerful ways without being an uberprogrammer. i punctuated the day with info on various kde developments, like datakiosk and amarok. one of the attendees took some pictures. and if i wasn't short enough, i was crouching during the shots so you could see everyone well.

monday was peyton's graduation from preschool. his class put on quite a show for all the parents, relatives and friends that came. they sang and danced several choreographed pieces and even acted out a munsch book in which peyton was a police officer. there is no end to how happy and proud a family member like a child can make you feel.

kicker is about to join the kde4 porting spree and begin its morph into plasma this week. my kde4 build environment is underway and i'll be doing the remaining 3.5 twiddlebits, which are pretty minor at this point, in parallel. the future begins!

oh, and congrats coolo! can't wait to meet mrs. coolo one of these days =)
