Monday, 27 May 2002  |  Wbastian

Despite being up to her ears into the moving boxes, Tink managed to publish the last two interviews of this season today. You can learn more about Jason Katz-Brown who recently enriched KDE CVS with Kolf. And about Masaji Takeyama who brings KDE to the masses in Japan. Enjoy!

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.

shaking your head as in "wow, what an idiot!"? Jason

Nothing as rude as that! :)

satisfaction - Aaron J. Seigo - 2002-05-27

aaaaah! the satisfaction of helping someone to fail miserably. ;-) but seriously: great work Jason! you've done a lot of great code and i can only assume we'll see more of the same in the future!

Always Discovery Channel!! - J.A. - 2002-05-28

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

Re: Always Discovery Channel!! - Jason Katz-Brown - 2002-05-28

Masaji-san answered Baywatch... :)

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. :-)

Two folks I rely on in one piece! - rob - 2002-05-30

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! Jason
