I've just upgraded by Gentoo's desktop to KDE 3.3. Everything was nicer and smoother (With prelink updated ofcourse, check out my prelinking Gentoo doc here ). After playing around with it for about 2 mins, I realized that my Kopete wasn't working ...... there goes my MSN/ICQ/YAHOO/IRC client.
At first I thought the fault was at the Kdenetwork package, so I reemerged it. Still the same problem occurs. Finally I realized that kde3.3 moved the kde libs to another location and Kopete in the 3.3.0 Kdenetwork package wasn't informed ..... So I just make a link to it, and walla .. its working again.
My Gentoo box is a little messy now. Although the portage system was a good idea, somehow it still makes your system messy with unused packages since the unmerge script doesn't do dependency unmerging. It lacks the control and the older manual installation gives. Well, nothing is perfect .....
Now that I've experienced Gentoo's portage system first hand, I might draw up a guide in the near future about how to becauseful while emerging, so people won't repeat my mistakes, ;p
Which reminds me ... I'm gonna do a clean Gentoo installation soon, and emerge the smarter way ........

Gmailed !!!!!!!!!
After chatting with several "Gmailed" friend, I finally have an invite, lol. So what's the big deal about this beta software ?
1) Google ppl made it
2) 1G storage, hello ?
3) Its still an invite only service, being part of it sounds cool thou ?
Other things that I've been doing for the week. I have a usb phone charger from HP, I used the nokia adapter thou. I'm a nokia paranoid, :D I can't seemed to get it to work with M$ Wind0ws, so I thought I'll try my luck with my linux pc. I plugged it in ... it worked ....... Just like that, no tricks ! ;p
Well, setting up a usb wheel mouse manually really pays off it seems. A while back I've been working to get the wheel of my mouse to work, since Gentoo's initial installation didn't fix it. Well, now that everythings working, I'm happy, :D
School started, I'm doing a subject called "Commercial Programming" this semester, and guess what's the choosen programming language for programming commercially ? Yep, its that sucky, slow, non-multiplatformed, non-updated to work with newer application, yucky M$ Vi$ual B@sic. Hurrah ........
