  • Run Sify Broadband Windows Client On GNU/Linux
    July 20, 2009, 4:36 pm

    I'm using a Sify broadband connection at home, and I was delighted to see that they had a linux version of the login client. I downloaded and installed it, but it appeared crippled. It crashes frequently, losing net access, and lacks several features present in the Windows client.

    So, I decided to run it on WINE (WINE Is Not An Emulator). The following steps have to be performed for it to work-

    May 6, 2009, 1:49 pm

    Again, a post after a long time, maybe was concentrating more on writing code ;) So, Mukthi 9.05 (Dunno why they used ubuntu naming conventions :P) was held on 1st and 2nd of May, and it was really fun and rewarding. Well, mostly because I got a chance to give a talk session on Qt Designer (which I later changed to Qt Creator).

  • Having a good time with KDE

    In January, I was studying Qt because I found it very interesting, and its cross platform nature really made me to plan serious development.
    Then I started to use KDE, which has a very intuitive interface for users. But here comes the real benefit - KDE is a Free Software, so anyone can contribute to the system and improve on it.

  • Improved applet FolderView configuration dialog
    March 12, 2009, 7:56 pm

    As reported in BUG: 186283 , the Filter page in the configuration of the Folder View applet behaved differently from user expectation. Some of the files were shown/not being shown when the opposite was expected. This was due to a peculiarity in the design methodology employed.

    This SVN Revision does two things -
