GSoC 2008 results are up!

Rejoice all students, finally an end to the long wait for GSoC results.

This time google is funding 1125 students; they received over 7,000 applications for this year.
Post announcing results open by Leslie Hawthorn.
All students should be thankful to LH and whole team as well as the participating organizations for this program. It is a real effort demanding task to carry out such an enormous scale program.

As for KDE, this year’s accepted projects are listed here.
I should thank the whole KDE team for their effort on this.
My application ‘KDragons’ didn’t make it to the selected list; may be it was too stupid.

So, that’s the end of my GSoC road for this year. Now to finish my leftover builds on KDE4 and I should be ready enough to write some patches. I should try to get my SVN account on KDE in another month or so.
KDragons needs hosting somewhere now, may be on kde-playground or if not, my choice would be launchpad.net

Hmm, its 04:35, I am not yet feeling sleepy. Guess results scared the sandman away!

KDE 4.0.x to KDE 4.1

KDE 4.0.x build with kdegames from trunk has managed to take lot of space on my /home. I could have tried building from trunk on /home with different directory. It would have been fun to have both builds together.
I was sure this will end up somewhere before the build and fill up space again. So, I decided to repartition my whole disk for a new start.

My data backup was not much, all my deb packages from apt archives, some documents, wallpapers and few Dragon Ball- Z episodes. Thats it and my blackbeauty was ready for a new installation.
kubuntu 7.10 32-bit found its new home sweet home on my PC.
Current partitions include /boot = 156MB, /home = ~46GB, /var = 5GB, swap = 1.3GB, / = ~25GB

I started building qt-copy again and this time from trunk. Internet was damn slow that night, and as usual slow things make me sleepy and I dozed off again.
Next morning, I completed qt-copy build.
The PC is still in the same state; I had to get back to some unfinished web work for mukt.in 2008
