I’m a noob to Second Life, an on-line virtual world.
I’m not pushing it and I’m not reviewing it. That’s been done in many places. But here are some pics from my first “date” in Second Life cyber-world. I met Stephi at a shop and we went exploring and shopping for her and for me for about 4 hours.

I’ve just started learning how to use CVS on Linux with KDevelop, and there are enough gotchas that I thought it might be interesting to share what I’ve learned. I have used lots of source control in the past, but never CVS. RCS [ages ago], QVCS [windows front end for rcs], and VSS with Visual Studio.
Serious coding on Linux means that I need source control, so I had a look at what’s available. CVS seems to be the long-time standard for open-source projects. But SubVersion is new on the scene, relatively, so I took a look. But after a little study of a few doc pages, including this one, it looks like SubVersion has the nasty habit of suggesting, if not requiring, that your directory tree look in a special way for SubVersion use. That, and the fact that the SubVersion GUI client for Linux looks like it is in its pretty early days, has lead me to choose CVS and Cervisia. Any Open Source code base with a version above 1.5 has got to have seen a fair amount of use.

SUSE 10.1, KDE 3.5.5, KDevelop 3.3.5, Cervisia 2.4.5
I’m trying to learn to use source control with KDevelop. CVS seems the most popular and most stable. I looked briefly at SVN, but the GUI tool seems immature compared with Cervisia. But I can’t get CVS and KDevelop to play nicely together.

VNC, or remote administration, allows a remote desktop service between windows and linux. If you are like me you have a mixed network, and it is nice to be able to reach the linux box from a windows box. One my major interests is to be able to run a Kdevelop app from my windows laptop while I’m watching TV.

This is a port of the Hellraiser box to Qt / KDE / Kdevelop on SUSE 10.1.
To run the program, use fileroller to unpack the file in a directory and then run the program. The image files must be in the same directory as the program. The instructions are essentially the same as for the Windows Version.
Hellraiser Lament Box Program
The sources are provided here. They are built using KDevelop 3.3.5 and Qt.
Hellraiser Lament Box Sources
There are links in the debug and optimize src directories that point back to the images in the src directory. These may have to be remade after you unpack the archive since links are not relative.
Update: Find the programs on SourceForge.
Enjoy. :-D
Here is a simple application using OpenGL that displays the Lament Box with animation of the box opening and closing.
