GNOME 2.18 中文翻譯
Posted on 2007-03-24 • (0)
GNOME 2.18 較早時間正式上傳了所有 tarball，即是說出新版了。感謝 Woodman 和 Pesder，近幾期的 GNOME 繁體中文翻譯都是以他們作為主力（當然還有其他人協助），還有簡體方面 Funda 更辛苦，要以一人之力挑起重擔，想當年我到某個時候就捱不住了。

Time to give KDE a try
Posted on 2007-03-01 • (4)
When last time somebody told me QT4 has support for vertical text and is using UCS4 internally, some impulse happens in my mind, though no action yet — probably it’s time to reconsider KDE again. During old days, one reason to abandon KDE is it’s inferior in terms of L10N and I18N — doesn’t support Hong Kong characters (QT3 using UCS2 only), translation is plain crap, etc. But things do change from time to time.
Right now what I can see from GNOME is just a small bunch of people keep fixing bug and adding more and more apps into core (the difference between 2.16 and 2.18 is basically a few development related applications), but no REAL INNOVATION. Well, they are superior in one way — taking others’ technology, copy it, and broadcast to the world that it’s their own greatest innovation since the wheel. The spatial mode of Nautilus is a well-known great example.

Basically, existing implementations of ABC music notation are almost usable. Indeed there are still some critical problems that prevent it from being production ready, but it’s already much better than GUIDO notation — well, to put it more accurately, it is the rendering that matters. One picture is better than a thousand words:
