flu == documentation?

The P-man (and a few of my friends in town here) had the flu before I left for ABLEConf last week. (I need to blog about ABLEConf as well, but will do so later ..) As luck would have it, it would hit me while I was down in Arizona (I had almost completely lost my voice by the time I left, despite spending the whole last day in bed in the hotel) and I continued to feel "draggy" right through today. So, not feeling up to any overly serious hacking today, I wrote some documentation.

The result is a Runner plugin (as used in KRunner) in KDE Examples and a tutorial on Techbase that goes through the Runner plugin implementation step by step.

It's a first draft and I'm not feeling 100% still, so it will have rough patches still. Please check it out, improve it or ask questions for clarification.

Sickness is a weird thing. When I was in grade school, whenever I'd have to stay home sick with a stomach bug I'd find myself strangely better at video games. I'd get through more (oldschool) Sonic the Hedgehog than I normally would, and I noted this on more than one occasion. (Not too many, thankfully ;-)
I wonder to this day how all of that works...

Anyways, hope you feel better soon!

Great! This is perfect timing as I just thought of an idea for a runner.

For me sickness was unit tests. Was sick on Tuesday and all i managed were some simple unit tests.

Hmmm . . . by this logic, I should try some coding when I'm sick.

Probably my first code snippet will be "Help, World" :-)

I highly recommend a good probiotic for anyone who gets digestive issues or stomach upset. Our family takes one called Vidazorb and we love it. It has helped our son with food allergies/sensitivities and Eczema and I can see a difference with digestive stuff too!
