First off, a totally sweet new laptop :)

As you can tell - the Macbook is indeed running KDE4 already :) Impressive speed too...Compiled Qt 4.4 (with webkit) in under 20minutes :) Note: I'm still going to be using the EeePC as my main travel machine - it's just so small and light, even compared to the Mac!
Even sweeter though:
That's right - this one awesome Indian buffe we've hit twice in a row has a mango lassi dispenser! Unlimited free refills makes a tubby Jespersaur though :/

...you might be a criminal. A seemingly innocent Kleenex box:
Flip over, and laugh as you read the directions:
Can anyone tell me why?

Just wanted to wish everyone happy holidays before the new year passes as well :)

After reading the post on planetkde about KDE4 running smoothly on an aged machine, I was tempted to try it myself. Although the EeePC is far from old, its CPU/memory and graphics card are relatively low end.
I simply downloaded the latest KDE4 RC kubuntu live CD, and followed the instructions from the EeeUser wiki on how to make a "live" usb stick. A slight adjustment to the bios/boot order, installing the libgl1-mesa-dri package, and a short while later I was pleasantly surprised by the following:

It's pretty amazing how quickly some things can get spotted/fixed in the open software world. I'm out of the country for a day, and I get the following in my inbox:
Notice the date/times. A major bug in the fifteen puzzles applet was spotted by Dario, and later fixed by Jonas - all in less than 24 hours! Imagine that happening in the proprietary software world.
Hooray for open source, and hooray for contributors! :D

I updated Fifteen Puzzle to use the prettier icon I mentioned in the previous post. Due to a stupid error (read, double check your SVG dimensions ;)), the icon works at an acceptable speed now :)
I Also added a configuration dialog, and the ability to select a custom image to slice up and make a new puzzle out of.
Finally, I made a custom icon (added a question mark to the default piece icon ;)) for Fifteen Puzzle in the applet browser:
Have fun! ;)
