Day: December 9, 2006

>Now it is just two weeks left until Christmas. Three weeks until the new year. The current state is that I have bought one Christmas gift – lots to go – and that my wife’s birthday is on the last day of the year. This means getting at least one more gift.

I also have to complete two more chapters for my book project – and complete my current customer project. I’m helping an automotive company some 70 kilometres from Gothenburg with their test management system.

Now, I’m not the one in the biggest rush – not by far. King Bore has not even got started. It is still between five and ten centigrades above freezing and no snow in sight.

I’m dreaming of a white Christmas…

>In a comment David recently asked me if I had any reading tips on KDE, Qt and Python. I must start by saying that I have done little more than Hello World(TM) using PyQt.

Anyway, David, I would recommend you to start by visit Riverbank Computing – they have sections on both PyQt and PyKDE. They also manage the Python bindings for Qt. Then there is Boudewijn Rempt‘s book on PyQt GUI Programming with Python Using the Qt Toolkit – a book that I have been meaning to read for years. Finally there are two wiki resources #1 and #2.
