Replacing KDE4

Here, let me get it back on track...

The last time I tried to make KDE 4x work for me, it made me want to drink. Extremely expensive Scotch. And no, I can come no where near to affording it but maybe once every three years or so

There, fixed it....KDE + drinking to excess. That repairs the TOS damage.

Sort of.

Nom. I am inspired to expand my booze horizons. I was not impressed by single-malt Scotches the last time i tried any. Perhaps my taste buds have evolved and they will be more appreciative this time around. Perhaps I will be impressed by an expensive buzz. Any way it's worth a try.

Yeah, I felt like I'm the only one who gives as much about Scotch Whiskey as about Microsoft, but thanks TC, I'm not the only one! Maybe whiskey is as Microsoft-software: The more you spend, the less miserable it is?

PS: I saw Jim (Bauwens) buy your cookbook last saturday at FOSDEM! Thought you might like to know. Of course he's a bit late, I already bought it one or two years ago (may I have a cookie now?). The Audacity book wasn't there yet, probably because all the O Reilly people brought with them where programming books. Lots of Perl, I think Perlbooks had a stand on their own.

How's about "Gammel Dansk" Hkwint ?

Is Tuxchick's cookbook available in down under as yet ?

Oh no, I live in the Netherlands, so the only cheap booze I sometimes nip - even though I detest it - is "Breda Vieux", made in the city where I live. Probably made by people from Poland, like everything over here, but still, the label of the bottle shows the spire of our 'great white church'. Sometimes I mix with cola, than it's OK, but at the moment I can't stand carbonized drinks (weak bowel aka Crohn, you see).

"Vieux" is the Dutch name for "cheap ripoff cognac", though they borrowed a French word. Especially handy for deglacing while cooking, and then putting up a firework and almost burning down the house. Funny TC's cookbook doesn't mention it. Reminds me, I may want to put a picture of the next "flamefest" online! Sadly, I'm out of Vieux now.

For drinking, I like Mosel wine as it tastes like lemonade, one can drink lots of it and it doesn't cause my intestines to burn. So yeah, I'm a sissy when it comes to alcoholic beverages!

and then putting up a firework and almost burning down the house

Like I was explaining to the firemen...When it said to grease the bottom of the pan, I didn't realize they meant on the inside...

Better heat transfer, sure.

Hopefully TC will write a back-to-the-land food cookbook - I want butchering tips, too! (Disclaimer: "Linux Cookbook" remains the best Linux book ... ever.)

Better heat transfer, sure.

Yep...WD40 beats thermal paste any day.

Someone should frame this thread !! (Hey, accidental pun !!) What a marvellous example of Linux enthusiasts enjoying themselves.

We probably should all be framed, boxed and shipped.

We'll see what kind of a framing job my ex-wife's lawyer can come up with.

I actually started a blog today.

When I have an article about Linux that hasn't been posted to LXer as a comment, I'll submit it as an article. I've seen some of the things submitted as articles around here, and actual Linux content should qualify it regardless of how well it's written.

Or how many flubs you make during your tests...

Gus,

As I said, I've taken the blog posts I've read for years as my guide. If I can keep my standards higher than the average, I will be doing quite well indeed.

Anyway, for once I feel just a little bit guilty about going off-track on the thread.

Shall we take the whisky rebellion here over to "Warming Off Topic"?

Just jump in and write it. Blogging ≠ rocket science

Have a drink, Bob, you'll feel better.

I did write it. Or at least started it.

As for a drink, I don't feel like I can afford it, really. Just got the heating bill, and it's hard to believe that this apartment cost a hundred dollars MORE than a month in the now ex-wife's house. That and the lawyer have eaten away anything like what I might have called disposable income.

I splurged on a bottle of rootbeer and the cheapest vanilla icecream in the store tonight, to celebrate my daughter getting published in the local paper.

Celebrate alone, though, since Monday is her custody day, not mine.

Darn, sure sound like I've been drinking...

Last call!

Time gentlemen please..........drink up Mr Glum !!!!!!!!!!!

Hick!
