I challenge anyone here to produce the nicest, more origina picture of a reverse polish noatun, NOW!

On other news, there are guys working on KDE now that were born while I was in college. I must go kill myself in the fashion of Logan's Run now.

Haha, cool, Jason included a link to his first dot/developer post! I even vaguely remember mentally shaking my head at that one. ;)

Great screenshot, btw.

I can't believe it!
No KDE developer answered Baywatch, right? Or my favourite Discovery Channel stuff but with the Baywatch cast :)))

It's a show about several overly endowed lifeguards running around in slow motion.

Alright, it's actually a show about lifeguards, but everyone watches it for the above part. :-)

Gotta say it. Thanks to both Jason and Takeyama-san!!

I use Jason's Kiten quite frequently and it is a great little tool! And I
gotta say thank you to Takeyama-san as well, as I solely use the Japanized version
of KDE....one of these days I'll find the time to help out with the translations(I got as
far as downloading the .po files)

Really, a big thank you to both!!!

I too love the Japanese KDE translations, even if they are sometimes a little bit hard to read :-)

Thanks so much!
