Gentoo explains the debug USE-Flag like that:

Tells configure and the makefiles to build for debugging. Effects vary across packages, but generally it will at least add -g to CFLAGS. Remember to set FEATURES=nostrip too

Well, for KDE-packages that mainly means: Dump everything to .xsesssion-errors. I realized this being the culprit of my overblown .xsession-errors about a month ago - but today this file grew by 4GB in about 3 hours and that surely was too much for me. Reason for that usually is KMail, which is a good mail-client, but surely sucks internally. Having kio_imap4-processess hanging around, doing nothing else but eating 100% of processor-time.

Suggestion to everyone: At least build KDE-packages without debug-flag.
It's just sad, that you can't call the programs with --debug or something like that - it has to be compiled with it. :(

I'm just catching up with the happening while being away. TikiWiki CVS is done, Trollparty mailing-list, too - now I was just shortly looking. what happened on IRC #trollparty while being away - damn, that payed off!!! :D

[12-16-05/12:21] [djamel] une phrase de bash.org pour tom ou mose :) :
[12-16-05/12:21] [djamel] hm. I've lost a machine.. literally _lost_. it responds to ping, it works completely, I just can't figure out where in my apartment it is.
[12-16-05/12:22] [djamel] ;p


UPDATE: That payed off twice in a certain sense - I just realized, that I should have seen that. It happened, while I was still here - dunno how I managed to miss that piece of IRC-gold! ;)

"Home is there, where I feel like it!"

I don't know, who said that first, but (s)he's right!

After having been persuaded to do it, I was at my parents place for christmas. I didn't feel really at home all the time. Well, that means, that I had some good days, but all the time this little splinter was in my brain, telling me: "You are not appreciated here as an individual!" I was very careful this time not to tell of my believes, not to tangent thematics, that might be controversial. Of course every now and then there were thematics, which could be seen from different angles. We were able to master those topics considerably. And again of course there was no movement towards the other side - this time, because it just wasn't talked about.
At first I wanted to move out again at 25.12. towards home. But my parents got me interested in the food offered at Antoniushütte, a restaurant already mentioned in germany's leading culinarists magazine "Der Feinschmecker". I'm a fan of indulgences of any flavour - be it food, wine, cigars or whatever - so I turned in after two days of thinking about it - mistake! Not that my parents would have been bad hosts or anything like that!!! (Well, one could have appreciated and honoured the - very excellent - food some more, well, fuckit, doesn't matter!). But the additional two days of stay again brought bad mood and a fight on the last day (it's always like that, if I stay for too long :( ).

Well, now I'm finally back home and it makes me happy! I know, that I won't have senseless fights here!

Yes - home is there, where you feel like it!
