KDE for Windows and Mac


Following the release of KDE 4, I was very interested to read that the KDE development team are hoping to port this brilliant new desktop environment and it's supported applications to both the Windows and Apple platforms natively!
Got to be a good thing!

The Windows packages are already available for developers to hop in to and the MAC OS X packages are in development.
The goal is to have both ports out of beta status by the time KDE 4.1 is launches later this year.
I am so looking forward to running KDE in Windows aswell as Kubuntu for a seamless experience.

My YouTube Site




What with starting a new job and spending a considerable amount of time on the Delcamp Classical Guitar Forum I mentioned I had discovered recently I have been neglecting this site.



As a consequence of the Delcamp discovery, I have been using the new webcam (fantastic) to create some classical guitar technique related videos in response to various forum members queries.

I have created a YouTube site ramsnake53 to upload them to and will continue to do so over a period of time and there should be quite a few of them eventually.

A New Job!





Today, I started a new job as a Workplace Trainer and Assessor with Worklink, a training, employment, business and personal support organisation.
I am pretty impressed with this organisation so far, in particular with the mix and style of the services they offer and their philosophy in relation to the clients they support. There is great scope and opportunity to add to my skill set which is very positive.
The induction process has been very thorough and there is still more to come!
I have not started any training yet and look forward to that.
