RMS was yesterday's special guest at the Trollparty tent in Caracas. He speaks fluent spanish, I was pretty surprised by that. And he kept saying "GNU con Linux" - what made me wonder if 'con' means 'slash'.. ;)
Luciash's theory was though, that he just repeats it as a magic formula. :)

Well, like I wrote before, I recompiled all my KDE packages without the debug USE-flag. Sadly that didn't help anything! :( As a matter of fact it even managed to run my new HDD full - with 270 GB of .xsession-errors created in less than a day.

The solution was to emerge kdebugdialog. With this little tool you can set the debug-output of your KDE programs. After telling KMail not to cry about it's own incapability in .xsession-errors I am much happier and my HDD much emptier. :)

Trollparty official day one was celebrated in Caracas today and it seems to have been pretty successful. I saw some of the stream @ http://hackitectura.net:8000/caracas.ogg and everything seemed to be fine. There was not much talk on IRC sadly, but I guess people are pretty busy - though bureado looked somehow bored at times from what I could see from the stream. ;)
Acracia never the less rocked big time at her talk - I did not understand a word, but I would have bought anything from her! :D

The Ilmenau part of trolling was really great, too. Mr Driessel was here and we trolled about tis and tat. The most interesting tinkering for my behalf was about GNUBrain and what could be done to integrate it with TikiWiki. Driessel even sees a solution for the 'Meta-Data-problem' in it - though I think it's a great chance and worth a try, I'm not yet convinced of GNUBrain being the solution.

But it'll be a big building block of the 'final' solution...

I had to do some Macromedia Flash authoring for university lately and I was pretty pissed off, that it wasn't too easy to get it runnin' on my Linux machine with Wine- though installing the Internet Exploder was no problem at all! :P

Well, with the WineTools you can get almost anything you need - I now finally can do my online tax computation on Linux. Still with proprietary software, but at least not on a proprietary OS. :)

However - Wine rocks! :)
I'm absolutely positive about that now!

And today my bro sent me a link, that confirms that:
