Welcome to my blog. I'm trying to post things whenever I get inspired to write something. Sometimes it's more often, and sometimes not so much. The subject can vary quite a lot, but it tends to be mostly about tech.
I don't have any commenting enabled at the moment, because no one really comments anything except spammers, but if you have any thoughts on anything, feel free to email me at niklas@uplink.fi.

Like KDE, I had also tried Fedora a long time ago. I also used Red...
I've now been using Kubuntu for almost a week and I thought I would write down some thoughts about the experience. I didn't get very far with my kdevelop experiment. It seemed ok, but there was too much stuff missing that I use in my normal workflow. So I reverted back to geany and aptana.

As I now officially have started my 2 month test of KDE/kubuntu I thought I'd get started on Kontact, KDE:s calendar/contact/mail suite. In many respects it is very similar to Evolution, Gnomes version of the same thing.
Theoretically Kontact seems to be a lot more integraded and up to date, Evolu...
