For all of you who celebrate anything related to the fact that we are soon to be in have entered the year 2010, have a happy New Year, even happier holidays, and ecstatic life.

This year, the /card/ is rather simplistic (especially when compared to the last year’s), and looks like crap when zoomed out – so, please, click it and open the full resolution one.

Cheerio!

I just wanted to brag about my new blog theme. It was heavily inspired by the new DOT design (made by Philip Tyrer and Nuno Pinheiro), but is done in a bit /different mood/

The second thing is that Identi.ca is now my primary microblogging service which you can see in the box on the right. Twitter will be updated simultaneously because I’ve set Identi.ca to pass the posts to it, so there’s no need for you to follow me on both places (if you’re not already).

Just wanted to share something very irritating that just have happened to me.


01 class SomeClass: public QFrame {
02 Q_OBJECT
03 public:
04 SomeClass(...);
05
06 private:
07 class Private;
08 Private * const d;
09 };
10
12 class SomeClass::Private: public Ui::SomeClassBase {
13 public:
14 Private(SomeClass * parent)
15 : q(parent)
16 {
17 /* ... */
18 }
19
20 const SomeClass q;
21 QBasicTimer timer;
22 };
23
24 SomeClass::SomeClass(QWidget * parent)
25 : QFrame(parent), d(new Private(this))
26 {
27 d->setupUi(this);
28 /* ... */
29 }


Compiled and ran this, and everything just stoped working. The instant I called:

SomeClassi * sc = new SomeClass();
sc->show();


Program just stopped doing anything. (and it took me some time to realize that it is not doing anything, and not only failing to show the widget)

I went on to discover what the problem is – commenting out parts of the code (obviously, the snippet above is not the whole code) to see what is causing the issue, and nothing seemed to be the problem.

Happy New Year to everybody, and happy holidays!

Here is little something I made for the occasion using only Inkscape and Gimp:

BTW, this is the largest digital artwork I made till this moment – the original resolution is 2700×1500 pixels.

I presume that Planet KDE will soon get overcrowded with holiday greetings, so I’ve decided to post mine a bit earlier. The main reason is that this way I’ll get more attention :).

I wish you all great time with the incoming release of KDE. I also wish that in the first half of 2oo8 KDE 4 receives finished Kickoff replacements (Raptor, Lancelot and TastyMenu) and to become stable enough for everyone to use it.

To Gnome users: I wish you also great time with KDE 4.0.

I know that this is not KDE related, but I had to post it…

This is the computer on which I started learning to write programs… even before elementary school… and it still works!!!
