Me, blogs and Planet

Steve Dibb, aka beandog, was kind enough to ask me if I had a blog and wanted to have it listed on Planet Gentoo. I didn't, he offered me one and set it up. Many thanks Steve.
Alex Heck, aka nesl247, setup a blog for me in the gentoo-xeffects day, but I didn't use it much. So my experience with blogs isn't that good.
Let's see if I can force myself to start sitting and write something about my work with Gentoo. I'll promise 1 or 2 short entries soon about kde-4.1.1/kde-4.1.2 and compiz-fusion-0.7.8.
So my first entry is done. See you soon.

Hi!

I have seen your great work in gentoo-xeffects overlay, but I would want to ask you if you have tried to make a herd with hanno (current compiz maintainer in main tree) for getting a more updated compiz (and related ebuilds) in main tree

Thanks a lot for the info and for your work :-)

Hello to the blogoshpere,

what is that ominous Kde 4 thingy you write about and why has it any importance to gentoo? ;)

Cheers

I built a part of that ominous KDE thingy from your overlay, and it's working wonderfully well - far better than what I got from the svn overlay a few months ago. The delayed release doesn't bother me much, since I've decided not to switch until version 4.2 anyway, and as I understand it, once you get everything working, releases should start going faster.

Keep up the great work!

Hi.

Thanks for the support. Don't forget the new overlay is desktop-effects.
You've got ahead of my next blog entry ;) I've been talking with hanno about getting updated ebuilds for compiz into the tree. We already have a desktop-effects alias and bugzilla account, so all we need is to create a team under the desktop project.
More details about compiz will follow in my next blog entry ;)

Since we are very close to getting kde-4.1 to the official tree, i'd like to say a few words about Jorge's work. All this time jmbsvicetto has done a more than wonderful job for the kde-4.1 ebuilds. I happened to watch his work from the very first commits, for ~x86 and ~sparc testing. He wanted quality in his ebuilds, taking in consideration 3 overlays just for writing one ebuild! He worked a long time alone, fighting against all the flames from hurry users who wanted kde right now in the portage! In some way he inspired cryos and the other kde herd members and further commiters and helpers, giving to the users perfect ebuilds, equivalent to the perfection of KDE-4.1 :)
Keep it up man!
