Long time no post. Well, I blame it on Agrabah. It the small oriental store in the NeudorCenter in Cham, Switzerland I opened up with 2 friends. Don’t go to www.agrabah.ch for now. The site hasn’t been updated since the opening on 8.9.2009

You’ll see some more posts in the next few days. I intend to use this Blog to make notes about my diving into HL7 (Health Level 7). I got a small project going that includes reporting cytological data from the labors system into the doctors. Stay tuned for more opensource medical blog blobs…

Here’s a mockup for the KDE4 Oxygen style… Really smooth

No, it’s not about the Microsoft Guy switching to Linux… It’s more about the freshly release KDE4 Alpha… It’s about switching from anoncvs to start commiting on KDE Games:

svn switch –relocate svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde https://huerlimann@svn.kde.org/home/kde/

Dear Chairman Bronfman (Warner Music)… We the undersigned urge you to drop DRM from Warner Music’s digital distribution. Put the energy that has been spent attempting to lock down the audience towards developing new artist music and innovating new products and services for the music fan… (sign this letter now)

Thanx to IdeaStorm, DELL will offer Systems for “a cross-section of users” with preinstalled Ubuntu Linux.

Here’s the news: Linux.com, Ubuntu
DELL, Heise.de (German)

But canonical.com stays cool. Not yet mentioning it:-)

Just found out: Google now provides ‘Note this’ links for search results. When clicking them, a ‘Notebook’ pops up…

According to Technorati the most referenced blog: Engadge/. Nice geeky gadgets. Probably funny to follow a few days…

While I believe Tim O’Reilly that Freebase will prove addictive, I’m not yet allowed to even try it. Freebase is in Beta mode, and testers must be invited. I wasn’t deeply impressed by Google’s Base, I guess I’d really like Freebase. So if you’ve got an invitation to give away… I’ll take it:-) Here’s another interesting project for the time being: dbpedia, Wikipedia as a web database.

Here’s the digest for KDE: http://commit-digest.org

Commit digests provide some first hand insights into the changes made to KDE. Every change to the codebase has to be made with a more or less telling description. The better and important ones are then collected and categorized into these commit digests. The Digest includes a short intro and some quotes for better entertainment. Together with Linux, Ubuntu or Amarok Weekly News, you may stay much closer up-to-date with what goes into the next release than you can in the proprietary world. Opensource is really not just about writing code…

While it’s nice that GMail provides POP3 access, I would prefer IMAP. One reason: I haven’t used POP3 for my GMail account in a while. As I use GMail for high traffic mailinglists, a few thousand mails piled up. As I try to download them using Mozilla Thunderbird, it only fetches about 500 posts per ‘Fetch’. This makes me clicking the ‘Get Mail’ button many times more than I intended…

It’s probably the most Linux friendly notebook I know. Thank you IBM/Lenovo!

I spent yesterday at the OpenExpo in Oerlikon, Switzerland. It’s an open source community event happening in the locations of the topsoft exhibition.

I’m representing the IsiSetup project here. Bigger projects like Asterisk, Moodle, OpenOffice, Lenya, etc. are present, too. The atmosphere is very open and productive:-) While we’re not overrun by visitors, there is some real interest in our projects.

Michael Wechner from Wyona shares a desk with me. Michael, a man full of enthusiasm, showed us some of this new projects: Yanel, which he described as “personal Lenya 2″, Yulup which deserves a blog entry on his own, and Yarep, yet another repository. Visionary stuff…

That was yesteray, now I’m back at my booth and wait for more of the same…
