Thou ank you VERY much for getting this working. Like many others, I’ve been really frustrated at the
perceived slowness of the KDE4 application roll-out, but once KDE 4.2 was available for my openSUSE
11.1 system (I normally run 11.0 for my day-to-day stuff), I was able to get things working comfortably.

One of those things that intrigued me was ‘kweather’ and once that was working, I was hoping that someone
could do something similar for stock quotations. Needless to say, when you were finally able to get around
to releasing a 4.2-compatible update, I was psyched. I was able to build and run it on the first try, and
it looks REALLY nice.

Thank you for taking the time and effort to put this together for us - I really appreciate it.

If you could make the background translucent (like Kweather), I’d really love it! But, that’s a relatively
minor embellishment - it’s very helpful/useful as is.

Thank you !!

Thanks for this plasmoid. It works perfectly. But I do think I have found a bug. If I want to monitor the VMware stock, I only get a blank Line. My guess would be that you use “,” as delimiter which is OK in most cases. But if you look at the CSV file for VMware, you will see that “VMware, Inc” has a “,” in it’s name. And I think that is what causing your plasmoid to behave incorrectly. I have attached the cut’n'pasted the .csv-file to help you see what I mean (with a little formatting to make it more friendly for reading).

“JYSK.CO” , “JYSKE BANK” , 129.50,” +3.00 - +2.37%”
“EMC” , “E M C CP” , 11.95,” +0.18 - +1.53%”
“VMW” , “VMWARE, INC.” , 25.31,” +0.94 - +3.86%” ( <- Watch out for the “,” in the name).

Cheers Morten

We didn’t get a chance to see the glow worms, they were at Maits Rest, plus another place called Melba Gully which we visited during the day. Unfortunately we chickened out of going in after dark because it was too cold

When we go back I’ll make sure that we check them out.

Anyway as a training exercise, it looked pretty good. Will have a look later

Cheers

It took me a lot of effort to free my adress book from Microsoft Outlook pst-format to Outlook Express, then import the contact list to Mozilla Thunderbird, export it to ldif, rebooting in Linux and then import it to KAdressbook.

But then, i just had to type this single line in bash:
“ruby kde_ipod_sync.rb /media/ipod”

… and BINGO all my adresses were neatly listed on my ipod photo 60 gb

Thanks again!

The bear parachute hasn’t turned up yet (Tim is slack), but I did bring the bear into work and it’s sitting on my desk. I’m gonna gradually bring things in over the next few weeks so people don’t notice too much. I might even bring in my Nautronix dolphin logo and stick it up on the cube wall

Glad you’re settling in ok. Has your bear parachute turned up yet?

Meanwhile, transcoding all my oggs to mp3 isnt so bad…
