KDE 4, thin or fat?

2007-12-12T06:49:00.001-08:00

Everybody likes those sleek icons, lovely wallpapers and wonderful GUI of KDE. But the negative side is, KDE is well known leak in memory consumption. Even 256 MB of RAM on my PC running Ubuntu Gutsy still not enough. I think 512 MB or even 1 Gigs will do fine jobs. Imagine KDE like a fancy car with all unecessary yet confused button on the dashboard, with 4000 CC shipped on the bonet. It has

2007-12-08T09:56:00.000-08:00

I've recently become quite fond of how Google Talk is embedded in Gmail. I'm sure everybody has noticed this before, but the way that Google Talk displays not only status indicators but also one-liners from your friends is really cool. Just today I found out -- through Gmail chat -- that my friend Sarah has laryngitis. She didn't IM me, she just put the word "laryngitis :(" beside her status.
