Tim Ginn’s Personal Blog

Well, I spent much of the day working on fixing KDE bug #83277. So far, I have a complete list of what needs to be changed. It’s another one of those *big* projects. Files that need to be examined further, or patched to meet KDE Usability Guidelines (before being translated) are significant in number. Recorded below, primarily for my own reference, are those pov files that need to be modified.

Well, I’ve decided to make a list, so that I can prioritise more efficiently, and finish up as many obligations as I can, as soon as I can. (These aren’t really in any particular order, anyway)

Short Term

• Software Engineering Project
• Queen’s SOAR
• Finish moving end-of-lease computers to loading dock
• KDE en_GB translation of KDevelop stuff (since I said I would) (currently on hold until after the CVS freeze passes, since I probably won’t get it done before the translation deadline)
• KDE en_GB fixing of bug #83277 (currently on hold until after the CVS freeze passes)
• KOffice index pages (for old announcements, etc.)
• Award write-up (for volunteerism)
• Watch all of the Futurama episodes that I can get my hands on
• Get a summer job with regular hours
• Program some fun stuff for myself and others to pick up business (and just generally have fun with)
• Get some sleep

Recurring

• Programming project bidding
• Pick up new web-hosting customers (requires making that site better, and other things)

Longer Term

• KDE submitting of patches to various KDE websites (spell checking)
• KDE X-HTML validation fixes around all sites
• Read developer.kde.org documention (and update/complete TODO items if they annoy me enough)
• Get a solid revenue foundation, and move into 151 Front Street
• Train a successor for the robotics website

Well, I’ve found a pretty neat site that makes statistics available about several CVS repositories). See http://cia.navi.cx/stats/author/ginn for my KDE stats (it doesn’t include the things that I’ve submitted through other people). On a related note, the RSS feed from that site is now on this page
