First starting with the good news, the epub plugin was moved to kdereview (thanks pino!!:))
And now continuing with, well, some more good news, toc support finally works!!
First picture is from a book with ncx toc, and the second uses guide support (which I use as fall back if exists).

Well things improved a bit, CSS and images now work. (by simply overriding loadResource I love OO sometimes 
Page breaking doesn’t work yet (no page support) but it now starts each html file in a new page, which already makes the book look a lot better.
Looking at Sherlock Holmes there seem to be a weird bug, it seemed the first line is not centered as it should, I wonder if it is a known QT bug or am I doing something wrong..

Finally seeing text!!! of course page breaking still doesn’t work properly, and not all html is parsed correctly (like links).
but it’s a start!

As everyone who talked to me lately knows, I’m trying to write a plugin for okular I finally finished some meta data handling code, so you can’t see the document but now you know what you are missing!
I have a weird problem with a new line in the title.. can’t find it anywhere though..

I was wondering for few days why my network card doesn’t work on new kernels, I had few minutes free now so I diffed the driver of the new and old versions.
#ifdef broken
/* This device causes data corruption problems that are not resolved */
{ PCI_DEVICE(PCI_VENDOR_ID_MARVELL, 0x4364) }, /* 88E8056 */
#endif
now they tell me…
*sigh*

I just made my first ebuild commit to sunrise ( the gentoo user overlay).
Now I’m waiting to see if it’s going to pass the review:)
if so, sunrise users will so be able to checkout soundkonverter ( cool proggy).
I wonder if I should translate it to hebrew on the way…

Since I decide to write almost everyday, I guess I should write on my not so special days as well.
So I had a nice driving lesson (didn’t need to cover my eyes even once).
And I guess I finally figured out what caused my computer to disconnect from the net.
It seems that the router had the intrusion detection option on, and it seems not to like bittorrent clients.
Now it finally works well, and Michal can finally stream her cds that we ripped on my computer.
I thought about writing a small howto on how to set an itunes server on your computer and how to set windows to use it but I think there wasn’t anything too interesting about it anyhow. Just install mt-daap take 5 minutes to configure it and run it as the server. On the client side use banshee if you are on Linux, use itunes or the winamp plugin if you are on windows and you’re done.

Few month ago my computer died. It pretty much burned up. If it was the first time that computer burned up I might have concidered fixing it, but being the third time in the last year I thought it’s probably the time to get a new computer. luckily for me my parents also got tired of hearing horror stories about my computer, and agreed to sponsor the new computer. I’m sure that if anyone would have read my blog he would have wondered which computer it is and ask all sort of boring questions about hardware types and stuff. So just to get it out, it’s a e6400 with geforce 7 something and 2 gig memory ( life feels a lot better knowing that no?;).
Anyhow after failing to install windows on the computer because of the sata controller, and fighting various live cds with the same problem, I got to a very nice gentoo based distribution called sabayon. Sabayon is actually a gentoo overlay, which is also distributed as binary dvd.
I guess that’s enough for today, more about my gentoo adventure on the next episode;)

Not not enough that I had to disable render accelaration to make nvidia’s drivers to work with xorg 7.1, now I also had to start playing with the files to make the driver work with 2.6.18rc4.
Luckly enough the problem is in the opensource part of the driver so I found this
http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=72488 so I didn’t waste too much time on it.

Zack has did it again! from the man who brought you exa, the one and only Glucose.
from his blog (http://zrusin.blogspot.com/2006/08/glucose-and-graphics.html)
Today I pushed a new acceleration architecture for Xorg. Called Glucose, it uses OpenGL to accelerate X. What happens there is that Glucose hooks into the initialisation code during the graphics card setup and dispatches the X rendering calls through the same codepaths that XGL uses. The email describing it and the some reasons for it is here: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2006-August/017527.html. One step closer to the Open Source graphical utopia.
So finally opengl accelerated X is within reach )
