http://chris.theblauvelts.com/blog What's really goin' on Wed, 07 May 2008 11:37:48 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en I finally got the NM Applet into a feature complete state and it's been moved to kdereview.  This involved lots of sleep deprived nights to get it in on time.  I'll be adding features frequently from now until I go on vacation on 16-May.  One necessary feature will be to ... http://chris.theblauvelts.com/blog/?p=17 Now comes the tricky part . . . configuration. It's easy to write a bunch of widgets that let you enter in a lot of data to configure your system. The problem is that it minimizes it's use. in order to alleviate this I'm going to do ... http://chris.theblauvelts.com/blog/?p=16 I now have an applet that displays the correct icon base on the connection state. The icons are rather ugly as they're not designed to be displayed at their current size. I'm hoping someone on the artists team can make some new ones that will match the great ... http://chris.theblauvelts.com/blog/?p=15 I fixed all know bugs in the NM dataengine.  It can be found in svn playground.  I'll now be able to move on to the applet where my first goal is for it to be able to mirror what knetworkmanager shows as a icon.  Afterwards I'll move on to implementing ... http://chris.theblauvelts.com/blog/?p=14 Did some more work on desktop icons. Not everyone was as big a fan as I was. Icons now align correctly regardless of size. I may eventually move this algorithm to include all applets within the Default Desktop containment. http://chris.theblauvelts.com/blog/?p=13 I read on Aaron Siego's blog that there had been a lot of requests for having traditional icons on the desktop under Plasma. I thought hey, that sounds like something easy that I can do real quick. Boy was I wrong. The Plasma::Icon and IconApplet were in ... http://chris.theblauvelts.com/blog/?p=12 I finished the Plasma DataEngine that lists devices available in Solid. It's now feature complete and part of kdebase. I had a bit of trouble moving it from playground to kdebase mostly from my lack of understanding of subversion commands but I got it figured out without too ... http://chris.theblauvelts.com/blog/?p=11 I was able to get a release out of NetworkDaemon. I've made a lot of progress since the last release. It crashes less, which is always a plus. It has more capabilities as well such as command line options for debugging and killing the server, an interface ... http://chris.theblauvelts.com/blog/?p=10 It's been a while since I've posted but that doesn't mean I haven't been hacking on networkdaemon. I've added several features including the ability to set a static IP address, change routes in the routing tables, and set DNS servers. Basically all the stuff that goes along with ... http://chris.theblauvelts.com/blog/?p=9 I've gotten commit access to KDE svn and merged my completed tutorials. I've started on the network manager part of Solid and gotten two done. I'll publish it once the module is completed. They're well received since, if nobody knows how to use Solid, nobody will use ... http://chris.theblauvelts.com/blog/?p=8
