Random thought

Orthodox Christians should write and paint and sing and dance. We should make movies and television shows. We should make clothes and produce textiles as art as well (the fullness of culture is itself too large to describe in a sentence, a paragraph or even a book). And in all these activities, they will be expressive of the fullness of our humanity without having to stick an icon on everything to prove its Orthodoxy.
-- Father Stephen in Glory to God for All Things

I have a new KDE

It’s Release 3.4.0 Level “b”. And I’m not satisfied.

I keep an empty desktop: if it’s not covered by windows (as usual) the only things on it, apart from the panel, are two folders “inbox” and “objects” that contain files I’m working on. They live in the upper right corner of the desktop. At least, they’re supposed to live in the upper right corner of the desktop. My new KDE puts them in the upper left corner, along with the trash can (more about the trash can later). I put them back where I wanted them and unchecked “Automatically line up icons” in the Configure Desktop dialog, but it mysteriously checked itself again, and the folders went back to the left. Also (seems like another symptom of KDE forgetting what I want), I selected a different background for the splash screen on startup and though Control Panel duly shows it I still get the default blue-bend thing on startup, but I can live with that.

Thingy

I don’t remember what exactly caused this error message, but it’s one of the silliest I’ve ever seen:

From the tiny knife and fork icon, it’s probably from a restaurant site, and from the Dutch-language “close” button I infer it was a Dutch restaurant site because all of my KDE is in English. Probably when I was looking for the Greek restaurant in Haarlem I wrote about a while ago.
