today was the winter festival at the p-man's school. they have two such big festivals open to the public each year, one in november and one in may, which are a combination community builder and fund raiser. they have food and activities and what not. the parents help run the events and donate food items and what not. last night p. and i made two loaves worth of sandwhiches (one loaf was my vegan blt recipe minus the toasted bread and sauteed mushroms, both of which require the sandwich to be eaten immediately after being made; the other loaf was veggie cold cuts with dijon mustard and various bits of veg goddness) to take and i spent 2.5 hours in the cafe window.
p. had a great time making candles, exploring the kids-only store, going into the "magic cookie house", listening to the live music and wandering around the artisan's tables. i ended up purchasing a hand-made medieval style cloak that was really rather nice (she has to make it custom so will be here in a couple of weeks) ... i plan on starting a trend towards cloaks and away from winter jackets here in calgary. i mean, really, jackets are so last year ;)
p.'s mom also came for a couple of hours. it was a bit sad in one sense as it'll be the last time in a while we get to do something like that as a family as she's moving out to vancouver next week. p. will be living with me full time from that point forward until the end of the school year. p. and i are probably doing christmas in florida with his mom's family which will be nice, though his mom won't be there from what i understand.
so .. some adjustments ahead for me with less time to do things i enjoy but which are more difficult to do when being a full-time rather than only a half-time parent. which is why i wasn't around much online since thursday, actually.
though today i did commit changes to plasma that fix a number of applet sizing issues, changed how containments and applets are saved and restored using kconfig's nifty new sub-groups support (the code is now so much cleaner in there and as an extra bonus it's now trivial to share corona layouts ... something that was beyond painful with kicker) and reviewed a handful of patches for kde stuff.

Thanks to the KDE 4 daily build virtual machine I was able to test the new plasmoid rotation system - it is quite nice :)
However, when I click on an applet to rotate it, keep the mouse clicked and also move the applet it moves weird (the move direction also seems to rotate).
Also, after releasing the mouse click and hovering over the applet again later the transparent border of the applet is not parallel to the applet but parallel to the screen (and larger since the rotated applet has to fit in). Since the 90°-snap checks for the border and not the applet itself it is difficult to turn the applet back into the right position since the snap won't work.
I'm not sure if they are already fixed, so I decided to just leave a note here. Can't wait till KDE 4 :)
jackets are so last year? Cloaks are so last millennium ;)
I got my cloak, which I estimate to be only a century passé, out again as well. The only thing that bothers me about it is that it's not very backpack compatible since there are no sleeves...

Hooray Florida! I live in Florida :P
Be prepared for some weird weather. It changes daily, so one day you'll be freezing and the following you'll be burning up.
