Well today is my 25th birthday, and boy am I feeling old! Not all that old, in truth, but it seemed like the right thing to say. I’m hoping that this next chronological chapter in the book of my life plays out nicely. 🙂

Cycling odometer
Considering I have already started the cycling season, this post is a bit late. However, I thought it would be neat to track my progress on my blog. Therefore, I have placed a little HTML nugget in the right-side bar with my totals. I would like to travel 2000 km this season on my bike, and with the help of my handy little cycling computer, I can keep track of my total distance. As of right now, I have only gone 152 km, but I think that I can easily achieve my goal before the end of the summer months.

Quick note to users installing ~arch KDE4
Hello all,
As some of you may know, I prefer Openbox to the larger desktop environments. However, I went to install KDE4 today on someone else’s computer, and ran into a problem with circular dependencies involving CUPS, GTK+, poppler, and cmake. The simple solution to the problem is to:
USE=”-cups” emerge -av kdebase-meta
and then go back later and do:
emerge -avuDN world
in order to add in CUPS support.
This issue was actually discussed recently in this thread on the fora. I can’t say whether or not this circular dependency problem will affect stable branch users or not, as I haven’t tried to emerge KDE in such an environment. Also, if you don’t have the cups in your USE flag declarations, you won’t be affected by this problem.
Hope that helps someone.
