Internetling

Many of you probably don’t use a Unix Operating System (Linux, BSD, Mac OS X). Some of you may not even know about KDE, the second most famous desktop enviroment the opensource community has to offer. Throughout the years, KDE became a very customizable and stable DE, with all the bells and whistles you can dream of.

Since its final release, KDE4 (not KDE 4.0), the Great Leap Forward by the KDE community, received praise, more praise, and also a whole lot of critique coming from this desktop enviroment’s fans.

We’ve all seen the uber-cool Plasma effects, the glassy theme, the great videos and the framework, Dolphin, the new filemanager and last but not least, the Kicker, which you still cannot customize properly.

I’ve already tested KDE 4 on my PCLinuxOS desktop, and I still feel it’s not ready for everything. The guys at KDE have certainly made a great deal of improvements, but there is still a lot of polishing to do: I don’t like the toolbar in the upper right corner, I miss Konqueror, hate the clock in the tray.

In conclusion, I would personally be much happier if the KDE group released KDE4 6 months later. The hype was there, and while KDE lived up to a lot of expectations, it did not exceed them. I’m still staying with my 3.5 with Konqueror and a pretty lousy gray theme with Plastik and Compiz Fusion. While we wait for the 4.1 release, let’s take a look at a video:

The blog is officialy starting on Friday, 17th January.

If you have any suggestions, I’ll be happy to hear them – so leave a comment if you do!

The blog is slowly coming together, here’s a quick video post before I start chucking out some real content!

Some might take this as a kind of a ‘first post’, although many people followed this blog since last summer, for different SEO tips. I had a nice reader base and pretty solid traffic, but as my goal wasn’t making money directly from the blog, there wasn’t much left to achieve. So I decided a huge change would be in order. Sometimes I can be very inconsistent, I adore starting new projects and initiatives, the Internetling being one of them. If you don’t like it, don’t read it. I’ll try as hard as I can to keep up the quality and some kind of posting schedule. While some of you may think I finally flipped, you should notice I was always doing my best to keep the readers entertained, and I will continue to do so. If you’re still interested in what is going to happen at Internetling in the following weeks, subscribe to the feed or just visit the site from time to time. Just to let you know, it won’t be a personal blog.

Last but not least, I would like to thank my readers – I sure hope my posts helped you.  So, if you’re staying, see you next time, and if you’re leaving, good luck

As for the Blogroll – It’ll be back very soon, all of the links are there. Don’t delete me yet!
