That sucks. I'm just the opposite. Here (Ohio Valley), the warm months mean terrible allergens. I look forward to the cold so I can breath freely again. Unfortunately, it's been unseasonably warm this fall (damn global warming).

Well wishes.

Oh man, I didn't think it was physically possible, but that sucks AND blows.
Hope you feel better bro and happy thanksgiving (even though I dunno if it's celebrated in Canada? I'm too lazy to google it up :P)
Just a tip on the sinuses I learned once from an old man in a plane. Pinch your nose so no air can leave and then try to blow until the air pops out through your tear ducts or you can't take it any longer. It releases the pressure from your head and it makes the sinus weaker. (it works for me every time)
Good luck!

FYI, if you have a sinus infection or a virus-induced sinusitis, doing that can cause you to perforate an eardrum or spread infection to your eyes. Careful!

100% off-topic, but how can I change the background image Aaron? (well, actually, set any, OpenSUSE packages didn't give me one since like 2 weeks XD) I'm sure there has to be some config file somewhere, it's just I'm not capable of find it.

Thanks in advance.

Aerys: start by being fiercely yourself. most people want to be someone else, but we each have inside ourselves the most amazing thing we can ever become.

piivi: thanks =) slept much of the day, feeling better already.

lu: we have a config dialog for it in svn now; but you can edit your plasmarc, in the [General] section set the wallpaper= setting

Muhaha part I of my masterplan to get KDE 4.0 released next year has succeeded! Tremble before my almighty powers!

No, seriously, get well soon.

Aaron J. Seigo said...

Thom: you just made my day with that one =) hehehe...

Thank you very much Aaron and take care of yourselves.

hi aroon, i know, this is not the best place for a suggestion about dolphin, but it's a long time I have this idea in my mind and I want to ask u for:
what about a frame in the preview of a picture in the dolphin view?! You know, like it is in gnome: I find it very "elegant" and I think it would be a nice addition to dolphin; by the way, great job with it, looks marvelous :)

Hi seigo,

I noted that the look and feel of the gtk applications look ugly under kde 4. Any plans to fix this?

Best

Hi,

Keep up with the good work.

Seigo, I think it is a good idea to get rid of the progress bar at the bottom of Dolphin. It is not necessary and it looks broken

Thanks
Ted

Hey Aaron,
I Hope you get feeling better. Things are cooling down here also 50 degrees (F) now at night. Most likely not that cold at all to most but it has the same effect on us.

I was running the Suse RC1 LiveCD and I have a question. Is there a way to make icons that I drag on the Desktop have a more classical look and feel rather then a Plasma APP? Don't get me wrong I Love plasma but it's a tough transition to go to normal desktop Icons to Plasma. Is there any plans for something to bridge the gap? Maybe just a simple way to turn off the transparent menu options on a per plasma app basis?
