OSDir.com Project of the Week: Kubuntu
Kubuntu, which saw its first release in April of this year, is a highly integrated Linux distribution featuring the KDE desktop. OSDir has declared Kubuntu "project of the week" and is carrying an interview with two of the project's primary contributors, Andreas Müller and Jonathan Riddell. They share insights on Kubuntu's creation, its current state and their plans for the future.
Why only Kubuntu-promotion?
Hi KDE-people,
I have noticed that there is quite much Kubuntu-promotion here on KDE-news. So I have tryed and compared it to my favorite Distro Kanotix http://www.kanotix.de which also ships KDE 3.4 . Compared to Kanotix Kunbuntu is slow, Installation is complicated and very slow. It could handle two CD-Drives and took me more than our. Luckily at a day later Kanotix with KDE 3.4 came out, so I switched back. It recognises all my hardware without problems. Boots in less then 15 secounds and the installation of the whole system took a little more than 10 minuites. So why all this Kubuntu-hype? Would it be fair two anounce also other distros (not only Kanotix of course) which ship with KDE?

Re: Why only Kubuntu-promotion?
"why all this Kubuntu-hype?"
Because Ubuntu (and Kubuntu) are the "talk of the town" right now. Both are rapidly increasing their userbase and both are progressing at a fast pace. It seems to me that Kanotix hasn't made any huge splash in the Linux-community. It's just YALD.
As for me, I use neither.

Re: Why only Kubuntu-promotion?
Hello Mark,
I agree, Kanotix is nice, too. I think the reason why there is an article about Kubuntu but not about Kanotix is that there are some KDE contributors involved in Kubuntu development (well, that and the current hype about (K)ubuntu). So I see this more as a question of awareness than one of discrimination (or whatever you'd like to call it).
Why don't you write a nice article about your experiences with Kanotix and the KDE 3.4 in it? I'm sure it won't be turned down by the dot editors (maybe contact them first to explain what you're planning...).
By cm at Tue, 2005/04/19 - 5:00am
Re: Why only Kubuntu-promotion?
Yes, Kanotix is awesome. It's the best OS (Linux or otherwise) I've ever used. It's the one that I promote.
I think that is the key... promotion. Keep telling people about it, post about it on your blog, write reviews for it, link to it on your website. If you listen to any Linux Internet radio shows, ask them to do a review of Kanotix. What ever you can think of doing to get the word out, do it.
Also, don't forget to send Kano a little donation to show your support as well.
Re: Why only Kubuntu-promotion?

This story is not an announcement, it's an interview. If you have something nice about how KDE is integrated in a distribution, how it is modified or setup then you can click on the "contribute" link in the top left.
Re: Why only Kubuntu-promotion?
> Would it be fair two anounce also other distros (not only Kanotix of course) which ship with KDE?
Of course, but we don't get many stories from distributions. I've never heard of Kanotix and their website doesn't explain much (at least on the English language page).
By Jonathan Riddell at Tue, 2005/04/19 - 5:00am
Re: Why only Kubuntu-promotion?
Kanotix is Knoppix and Debian/sid based, therewith includes a rather uninteresting outdated KDE 3.3.2. Kubuntu on the other side is one of the first distributions including KDE 3.4.
Re: Why only Kubuntu-promotion?
Just to set the record straight.... Kanotix's latest release 2005-02 includes KDE 3.4 I've been using it for a couple weeks now and it's really great.
This information is available on the Kanotix homepage. Just read the latest announcements.
Re: Why only Kubuntu-promotion?
I read http://distrowatch.com/kanotix which names KDE 3.3.2 in the latest listed release.
And my understanding was that Kanotix is similar to Knoppix but being a pure Debian/sid instead of a mixture of sid and packages from elsewhere. This doesn't seem to be true anymore then as according to http://packages.debian.org there is no KDE 3.4 within sid.
Re: Why only Kubuntu-promotion?
But obviously some people use it with 3.4 packages. And it has a nice live CD with a working HD install. I don't see why an article or interview about it would be uninteresting to the dot audience if someone interested in the distro were to write one.
By cm at Tue, 2005/04/19 - 5:00am

Re: Why only Kubuntu-promotion?
Actually the big story here is about Ubuntu chose to ship with only Gnome, and people stepped forward to put together a KDE option. Interestingly the KDE option has garnered as much interest and demand as the original Gnome only setup.
By Derek Kite at Tue, 2005/04/19 - 5:00am
Re: Why only Kubuntu-promotion?
That's because, as we all know, KDE is a better desktop manager... right? ;o)
Re: Why only Kubuntu-promotion?
For my purposes it is. Others may choose Gnome or other DM's.
There are continual attempts to 'rationalize' free software, meaning cut out duplication. This comes from business types who would like to harness the work of others for their profit. Anyone is free to do that, but to suggest that everyone should work for them without being paid is rather presumptuous.
So we have kde/gnome gtk/qt, mysql/postgresql, php/perl/python, etc. Even this short list illustrates different software/libraries that serve specific interests or needs. Guess what. People have different subjective preferences. So there is free software that suits almost everyone.
I'm always pleased when these efforts to 'simplify' fall absolutely flat in failure. In the end we have better software that serves our needs far better than a single project ever could.
It goes both ways. Knoppix was originally KDE, due to the personal preferences of the fellow who put it together. And Debian. The Gnomes put together Gnoppix. Other distros decided to get into the game, so almost everyone has live cd's now. And remarkably, it has become reasonably easy to put together a live cd that suits the purpose of one or a few people. This is good.
A vibrant and healthy economy, ecosystem, community, or whatever is always confusing, noisy, with the odd bit of yelling, but mostly everyone going about benefitting themselves and others by their work. Free software is like that. It is healthy.
By Derek Kite at Wed, 2005/04/20 - 5:00am
Re: Why only Kubuntu-promotion?
The guy or one of the guys who did gnoppix was hired by canonical, they are now working on Kubuntu.
I personally like both Gnome and KDE, in many ways, the interface to Gnome apps are clearer. Though, when I need to get something done some of them really fail me, because I usually break the "average" use case and the GUI doesn't facilitate that. In KDE, the interface can overload you, with too many things squished together, I don't necessarily mean spacing, I mean disparate things put together for no reason other than supporting some features. I'm all for features, as long as they're grouped logically around their inter relationships and workflows. It'd be interesting to break down Amarok to see what lessons can be taken away from that, I've never found an app so insanely useful after honestly 2 minutes of fiddling with it, the feedback was amazing, I was lost for about 10 seconds and then as soon as I tried doing something it was entirely helpful at convey what's next or possible.

Please, no configuration tools...
Hello everyone!
I got Kubuntu yesterday, and in the past I used Ubuntu. I must say that I like the look of KDE 3.4 very much, it's kinda friendly and very impressive. And it's really clean, just like Ubuntu too. I wouldn't like it if they'd integrate config-tools like YaST or DrakConf or something like that, because it would kill the feeling of having a simple, well configurated and easy to configurating distro. Meanwhile I prefer configurating per configfile-editing, but who would do it like this further if there'd be a config-tool? Why I don't like such ****? Because it destroy's a lot of feeling, like I said a few lines ago... And YaST f.e. overwrites all configurations done by editing a config-file, and that's totally unreasonably. If I wanna have phun by using patronizing tools, I can switch back to windows... I wanna work with my OS, not only install-1stconfig-run run run...

Debconf is the thing that asks questions upon installing a .deb package (although only some of the packages use it; xserver-xorg is one). See "man dpkg-reconfigure" and "man 7 debconf" for further details.

Only Debian based distro to install on Toshibas
I've got a Toshiba Portége 4010 and an Lucent WLAN-card. Up to now Kubuntu 05.04 is the only Debian based distro (and most anything else based either) that installed flawlessly out-of-the-box onto my laptop with networking via the PCMCIA WLAN-adapter and sound & screen working perfectly.
Now that is a good reason to promote Kubuntu/Ubuntu in it self, but when you add to it a well packaged KDE & Debian APT's power in package management it really the best thing after sliced bread!

By Ian Monroe at Thu, 2005/04/21 - 5:00am
Re: Weird Dependencies on Kubuntu
> kdepim depends on kpilot
kdepim, kdenetwork and kdegraphics are "meta packages" that are mostly empty and only have dependencies on other packages.
So *installing* kdegraphics, for example, will cause all dependent packages (including gwenview in this case) to be installed without you having to install them all one-by-one. That's a handy shortcut.
OTOH, *uninstalling* kdegraphics does *not* mean uninstalling all the graphics-related KDE programs! So uninstalling gwenview will cause the meta package kdegraphics to be uninstalled, too, but not in turn the rest of the graphics apps.

Did I understand you correctly, you're saying that aptitude also uninstalls dependencies when a meta package is uninstalled?
I think in the case we have here the user actually *wants* to uninstall only single apps, not all dependencies of the meta packages.

Many of you may recognize the title date, as the day the world ends. This popular notion is from the Mayan Long Calendar. On 12/20/2012 we will be: 188.8.131.52.19 and rollover to 184.108.40.206.0 on 12/21/2012. Pretty nifty, right on the winter solstice. Now according to Mayan stories the last creation was on 126.96.36.199.19 the previous time. But what is the Mayan Long calendar and what do the numbers: 22.214.171.124.19 mean?
The Mayans reckon their calendar into 5 parts (hence: 12,19,19,17,19). The last number is called a K'in and 1 K'in = 1 day. The Mayans being rather astute in their calculations use a system that is roughly base-20 (as opposed to our base-10). So they count from zero to 19. So K'in in their system would be the units. Next "digit" up is the winal which is equal to 20 k'in (or 20 days). After that, the next number is called a tun which is equal to … only 18 winals (or 360 days). Next, we have the K'atun which is equal to 20 winals (or 7200 days). Finally, we arrive at the B'aktun which equal to 20 k'atun(or 144,000 days). So, when they write the long date:
22.214.171.124.19 they really mean:
(12*144,000) + (19*7200) + (19*360) + (17*20) + (19 *1) days = 1,871,999 days or 5128.76 years. So they are counting from the date: 26-February-3117 BCE using the Gregorian calendar and projecting it backwards well prior to its creation. Ok, you might argue that is almost the vernal equinox. Hmmm. Wait what is the date of 12/21/2012 in the Mayan Long Calendar: 126.96.36.199.0 . This is not the end of their calendar, as has been commonly expounded by many people hyping new-age kinds of things or books or apocalyptic movies or Sara Palin as President. In fact, there are 7 full B'aktuns left in their calendar, meaning the human race can count on living another 33,139.73 yrs (no worries until the year 35,151 or so). While 12/21/2012 may appear to be an unlucky day to triskadecaphobiacs [people who fear the number 13], it does not mean an end to the Mayan calendar and certain doom.
Now wait a minute, the Mayan story said, that the last time, their calendar was 220.127.116.11.19 was the creation date. Ok, let's ignore the fact that there must have been 1,871,998 prior days before creation (since we are not starting from 0.0.0.0.0). But lets go with it and see where we end up, shall we?
Let's start at 12/20/2012 which will be the next 184.108.40.206.19 in the Mayan Long Calendar. Ok, we can now infer that the time prior must have been 38,268 years from 12/20/2012. So subtracting 38,268 from 2012 and allowing for the fact that there was no year ZERO, then in 36257 BCE, at or near the winter solstice, the world was created. Assuming 20 years per generation (as we established in a prior blog), we find that we each have 1913 or 1914 prior generations, that we will need to account for in our family tree [direct line backwards].
Well I have about another 1900+ generations to research, but at least I can now relax, now that I know the world will not end on 12/20/2012. I was feeling pressured to finish my research in the next 2.5 years. Now that I know the Mayan Calendar will not run out for another 33,000+ years, I know I have plenty of time to research and publish the family tree.
I am not certain why they broke the base-20 on the tun (it being only 18 times the winal). But the 360 days in a year is only an error of 1.4% which is as good or better than the Julian calendar and if we consider they started using their calendar 2/26/3117 BCE, then I think we can say they were pretty good mathematicians and astronomers.
Why did the Mayans and Egyptians orient their pyramids to point to Orion's Belt? Could they possibly have known that our solar system is in the Milky Way Galaxy's Orion-Cygnus spiral arm? Why did they pick 188.8.131.52.19 ( as the creation date)? That equates to Sagittarius which according to NASA's website, the center of the Milky Way galaxy is in the general direction of Sagittarius constellation. Were they good astronomers or did they just believe that passing the winter solstice is when things get created?
I guess those will be musings for another time!

DHX has released DHTMLX 4.0, a complete JavaScript UI library. The company is a specialist in JavaScript and HTML5 UI widgets and libraries. The open source DHTMLX suite (or dhtmlxSuite) is a JavaScript GUI widget library for building web applications with desktop-like user experience and Ajax data loading.
Along with the bug fixes and speed improvements you would expect mentioned, the new release also brings "smooth rendering" and improved look and feel provided by the redesigned skins. The online Skin Builder tool is also updated and now you can adjust the colors and fonts of the new skins accordingly to your design needs.
One of the important updates is the common way of data loading for all DHTMLX components, which (says DHX), makes the development with DHTMLX easier and faster. The list of UI widgets is also complemented with a new component — dhtmlxRibbon.
According to the DHX product update blog, "We have completely overwritten all container-based components (such as Layout, Windows, Accordion, Tabbar). You definitely will notice faster loading, smoother graphics, and more convenient and simplified customization options."
The company also says that it has improved the patterns logic in dhtmlxLayout, and it has added/enabled some animation effects for dhtmlxTabbar and dhtmlxAccordion to make them look more modern and smooth.
The new UI widget — dhtmlxRibbon — adds the ability to group toolbar buttons into tabs and blocks. This component supports different button types (button, two-state button, checkboxes, combobox, input, text, etc.) and can be easily attached to any container component.
With this release there is also updated documentation. The new search feature is intended to allow users to find the necessary information much faster. Although dhtmlxVault is not part of the dhtmlxSuite package, the file upload widget has been also updated to be compatible with DHTMLX 4.0.

The s-word is in our forecast this week. I don't know anyone who is happy about the October SNOW except for my allergy-suffering friends. With the snow come cold temperatures and at MSGL we play outside year-round, so it's important for children to have warm and practical clothing to wear every day. For the past 12 years I greeted the children on the playground at 8:30 am, snow or shine. To help you prepare for this week and the next six months (it hurts me to say that), I have compiled for you:
Miss Heather's Top 10 List for Child Comfort and Parent Happiness: Winter Edition
1. Check the forecast. Every class - Toddler through Elementary - goes outside when the temperature is 20 degrees Fahrenheit or above. Check the weather forecast each day before leaving the house to make sure your child will have the appropriate cold-weather gear for that day.
2. Go with the low. Consider the time of day your child will be outside. The forecast may call for a high temp. of 63 degrees, but the temperature at 8:30 am might only be in the 40's. Some classes start outside, some go out at 10:15, some at 11:00. The afternoon and Elementary classes go out at varying times throughout the week. Provide clothing for the day's low temperature and your child should be well-prepared.
3. Layer, layer, layer. Imagine your child as a cute, rosy-cheeked onion and help her dress in layers. Being hot and sweaty outside in the cold is just as uncomfortable as shivering. If your child can take off a sweater or push back her hood and unzip her coat, she will be able to regulate her body temperature and still enjoy the time outside.
4. Listen to your child. Trust your child to make decisions about his comfort. The only way we can learn if we are too cold is if we are allowed to feel the cold. If your child doesn't want to wear his gloves, don't sweat it. Make sure he knows his gloves are in his locker and that he can go get them if he gets cold. The same goes for his snow pants and his bulky winter coat. An active child dressed in layers with warm shoes and a hat can generally enjoy himself outside without danger of getting too cold, even in winter. If your child is listening to his body instead of chafing under a "mitten mandate" he is more likely to develop a true sense of how to dress for the weather. My friend "Z" always told his dad he didn't want to wear his coat or his snow pants or his gloves, but 10 minutes after dad left, Z would ask to go get them.
5. Start a discussion. Talk with your child about the day's weather and how to dress. Remember that the ultimate goals are safety and independence. You might say something like, "It's 30 degrees Fahrenheit. You definitely need to wear something on your hands, but you can choose if you wear your Spiderman gloves or the mittens Grandma made for you." Or try, "It's going to be 45 degrees when you go outside today. What should you pack for school?" Young children can learn to speak three languages at once. They can also learn to make clothing choices based on the outdoor temperature.
6. Get a move-on. Remember that your child is most likely playing actively outside. We might feel very cold walking from the car to the school door in a suit or a skirt and heels, but a child riding a balance bike for 10 minutes heats up very quickly.
7. Consider cold pants. Snow pants or snow suits are essential when there is snow on the ground, but some children (and some preschool teachers) like to wear them as soon as they can see their breath outside. Think of them as "cold pants" and let your child keep them in his locker from October through April.
8. Label everything. Speaking of lockers, our lockers are small. When two children share a locker it's nearly impossible to fit snow pants, coats, book bags and lunch boxes inside. PLEASE make sure every article of clothing you send to school has your child's name or your family's last name written on it where it's easy to read. All black snow pants and all Spiderman gloves look the same when there are 24 children getting dressed in the hallway. If you forget, your child's teacher will be happy to loan you a Sharpie and some masking tape.
9. Embrace the terrific outdoors. Spending time outdoors is important for everyone's health and well-being. We do not have a gym and children may not stay inside by themselves. If your child is recovering from an illness and you don't want her to be outside, please make arrangements to drop her off late or pick her up early, depending on the class schedule.
10. Stock up. Have extra winter clothing on hand, if possible. The first Snow Day of the year is much less fun when your child has left her snow pants at school. And plan to lose at least one set of gloves. If you buy three identical sets of gloves, odds are you will have at least one matching set at the end of the year. Just in case, the Lost and Found box is in the office.
If you recently moved to West Lafayette from somewhere warm and lovely, I am so sorry! But seriously, you can stock up on all the clothing your family needs to get through your first Indiana winter at J.C. Penney, Sears, Target, KMart, or Walmart. You can purchase gently-used childrens' outerwear at Once Upon a Child in Lafayette.
Below are some examples of items your child will need.
Thanks for reading and bring on the snow!

TrestleBridge Capital said early Thursday that is now doing business as an independent financial firm with $100 million in brokerage and advisory assets under management and is trading securities through LPL Financial (LPLA).
Austin, Texas-based TrestleBridge, which has five employees, is set to focus primarily on providing nationwide wealth management services to high-net-worth clients, as well as mass affluent investors.
LPL closed its NewstWise platform, which aimed to serve the middle market, last month.
"We are delighted to welcome TrestleBridge Capital to our platform," said Bill Morrissey (left), executive vice president of business development for LPL, in a press release. "Andrew Gonski and his team of professionals have a growing and dynamic firm that we look forward to supporting with industry-leading tools and resources so they can provide their clients with quality independent advice."
In addition to brokerage services, LPL Financial will provide TrestleBridge with technology, research and practice-management tools to build and grow its business.
"We are extremely excited to launch our new firm, which fulfills a need for truly independent financial counsel that is in rising demand in both Texas and across the nation," said Gonski, principal of the firm and an ex-Ameriprise independent advisor, in a statement.
"Mass affluent and high-net-worth investors are seeking a hands-on advisor who can connect them seamlessly with the sophisticated financial solutions, while integrating these solutions within a broader holistic plan that supports their life goals," the 15-year industry veteran added.
In addition to working with LPL, TrestleBridge Capital advisors is partnering with Flagship Harbor Advisors, an RIA firm in Boston, to offer fee-based services. The Texas firm is registered to do business in 17 states.
Washington Wealth Launches
In other news, Washington Wealth Management, an independent, multicustodial hybrid RIA that also trades securities through LPL, said it had launched its MobilitySelect platform for advisors to use for remote management of their practices.
"As the independent advisory space continues to grow dramatically, one core group of professionals in our industry that continues to be overlooked and underserved are experienced financial advisors that work remotely from traditional office environments," said Rob Bartenstein, CEO of San Diego-based Washington Wealth, in a press release.
"From older advisors who no longer require a full office to service their clients, to newly independent advisors seeking to streamline their expenses, to working parents who want to cut down on their commuting so they can maximize time with their families, the reasons for wanting to work away from a traditional office environment are manifold," Bartenstein added. Plus, he says, this group of advisors is one of the fastest growing in the industry. The MobilitySelect platform, Bartenstein adds, "enables us to actively supervise these advisors in a way that protects them and their clients while also empowering their continued growth."
The platform allows advisors to affiliate with the WWM RIA and have access to all attendant compliance and supervisory services; use WWM RIA's technology and management solutions, support and problem-resolution services; and rely on its on-site pre- and post-transition assistance and services.
"Technology and demographic trends have created a new frontier of opportunity for our firm with experienced, successful advisors who have chosen to work remotely from an office, and are looking for a committed partner who truly understands and can deliver on their particular needs," Bartenstein said.
Last month, Washington Wealth recruited an advisor team from Wells Fargo Advisors to its platform with about $220 million in assets. At the time, it said, that this meant the hybrid-RIA was nearing $1 billion in total client assets under management.

KVim Reaches Stable Milestone
Thomas Capricelli, Philippe Fremy, and Mickael Marchand are pleased to present the first ever stable version of KVim, finally bringing us "the power of VIM with KDE's friendliness". In case that means nothing to you, VIM stands for Vi IMproved and has become the defacto standard version of Vi on most Linux distributions. Vi is the traditional, ever popular, text editor on UNIX systems which can sometimes be a challenge to new users. As the names imply, VIM adds many powerful improvements over Vi, and KVim wraps the whole thing up in a nice KDE interface. Best of all, KVim offers a KPart for out-of-process embedding in KDE. The KPart can currently embed either of GVim or KVim in Konqueror, but further work is required before proper support for KDevelop, KMail and Kate is available. It also looks like KVim will be integrated into the main VIM source distribution in the future. Great news!
Side note: Interestingly, one of the first articles ever on KDE Dot News concerned the first developer release of KVim. It generated quite a bit excitement at the time, although it seems we jumped the gun on the KDE/XEmacs rumours. :-)
being able to work with vim from within kmail and other kde applications would be like a dream come true for me.. I'd give up kde 3 for this feature (if I had it)
By mark dufour at Thu, 2002/04/11 - 5:00am
Re: great!
The current CVS of KVim works with KDE 3 (only).
By Triskelios at Fri, 2002/04/12 - 5:00am
Using Kpart?
Okay, maybe I am just missing something, but how do you use KVim in Konqueror? I have downloaded/compiled/installed the complete KVim package and can use KVim as stand alone without any problems(look great!). But I can find no way to use the KPart in Konqueror. Any instructions would be very much appreciated.
By Kevin at Thu, 2002/04/11 - 5:00am
Re: Using Kpart?
I'm an emacs user myself so I haven't tried this, but I'd imagine you just need to change the preference order in your file associations. Open up the settings dialog and choose the file associations section, then look for text/plain and see if you've gained a KVim option under the embedding tab.
By Richard Moore at Thu, 2002/04/11 - 5:00am
Re: Using Kpart?
Thanks, but that is just it...I don't have a KVim or a Vim option under the embedded tab, so I am unsure of where to look next.
By Kevin at Thu, 2002/04/11 - 5:00am
Re: Using Kpart?
the instructs say after running testVim go to the /kvim/vimpart/kde-version directory and run ./configure, make, make install. the problem is that there is no configure script in that directory. i tried make -f Makefile.cvs, but it errored out. so i'm looking for a little help with this too.
By jhollett at Thu, 2002/04/11 - 5:00am
Re: Using Kpart?
It would help if you posted the error messages. Maybe you have an older version of automake and autoconf installed?
Here it worked just fine.
By Moritz Moeller-... at Thu, 2002/04/11 - 5:00am
Re: Using Kpart?
slackware 8 distro
i then installed newer automake & autoconf
new automake 1.61 & autoconf 2.53
command: make -f Makefile.cvs
By jhollett at Thu, 2002/04/11 - 5:00am
Re: Using Kpart?
Okay, I figured out that the error I was getting when doing the 'make -f Makefile.cvs' was from having an older version of autoconf. After upgrading it worked great, thanks.
One note, in the output from doing the 'make -f Makefile.cvs' with autoconf 2.13 you get the following message:
*** YOU'RE USING AUTOCONF 2.13. We suggest updating.
Quickly followed by some errors that halts the make. After tricking the make into getting by these errors, I was then presented with this message:
FATAL ERROR: Autoconf version 2.50 or higher is required for this script
I think it would be a little more useful if the first message just said this to begin with and then halted instead of trying to continue and saying that support will be dropped "soon" as it appears to have already been dropped.
Thanks again for getting kvim going!
By Kevin at Thu, 2002/04/11 - 5:00am
And next ?
You'll be happy to know that we're working on kvim-6.1, that should be released not so far from now. Featuring a sync with vim-6.1 and lot of bug fixing from the kvim-6.0 release. Also, we've started to talk with the kdevelop people to see how to make the vim part a KTextEditor, stay tuned.
By Thomas Capricel... at Thu, 2002/04/11 - 5:00am
Great news :(
This is great news. And I am jealous (the very first time) on all ppl who have chosen Vim.
Too bad I hat it like a disease.
I also hate all these amateurish editors being integrated into the UI, something that got invented on WindOwS and just proves how many Linux programmers are converted Windows programmers/users.
Another such stupid Windows-Inheritance is that also in Gnome and KDE the Filemanager handles directories just as they would be documents.
Of course, this does not change my passion with KDE a slightest bit ;-)
So, when do we see KEmacs and its according KPart ?
I still do not understand what this is/was about it.
It shouldn't be so hard to wrap around it, export all the elisp functionality to dcop and have it embedded in KDevelop...
By jon at Thu, 2002/04/11 - 5:00am
Re: Great news :(
>Another such stupid Windows-Inheritance is that also in Gnome and KDE the Filemanager handles directories just as they would be documents.
I'm kinda curious about what you mean by this. How would you like it to be done?
By jd at Thu, 2002/04/11 - 5:00am
Re: Great news :(
I guess he means that there's only one filelist in most filechoosers, where he would like to see a list containing the directories and another one (next to it) with the actual files. Though the current behaviour doesn't hinder me, that seems like a good idea. Though directories are in fact just another file, they differ quite a lot from the user's point of view. I believe the old KDE1 did it this way: at least my KLyX that I still use has a separate dirlisting left of the files.
By Jonathan Brugge at Thu, 2002/04/11 - 5:00am
Re: Great news :(
Hey, you know what, I love KDE because it is so fantastically flexible and configurable -- in this case :
Right click in the fileselector window, and you are given the option (amongst others) to have dirs and files separate.
In fact, try right-clicking on all widgets : there is a wealth of config possibilities in all of them !
By hmmm at Thu, 2002/04/11 - 5:00am
Re: Great news :(
>Hey, you know what, I love KDE because it is so fantastically flexible and >configurable -- in this case :
Well, it is configurable only on the surface, superficially...
>Right click in the fileselector window, and you are given the option (amongst >others) to have dirs and files separate.
Yes, it is a begniing. Especially the embedded console is a good idea.
But this still is an excuse of a filemanager, not more. It seems to me you never used a 'real' filemanager, you would see how much this is worlds apart.
The only really good filemanager I came acrosson Linux was Worker and MidnightCommander.
The v6 version of DirectoryOpus is (Windows only, commercial) here:
A screenshot, demonstrating the power of filemanagement on AmigaOS:
No eyecandy, though. Note, that each of the four listers you see here is a normal window, they have been arranged (probably by a keypress) to occupy the screen in this state. Of course all is supported (cut,copy&paste, drag&drop) as well as doing all kind of funny things (all basic tasks like copy,move,rename,link,archive,dearchive) and whatever by the buttons you see. Also note, that the "listers" can be used in icon-mode as well.
I still do not see any way to archive a bunch of files with Konqueror without opening the embedded console or maybe drag&drop into an opened archive.
Oh, and since we are at screenshots and my favourite computer system, have a look at here:
Quite nice for an OS from 1992 ?!
By jon at Fri, 2002/04/12 - 5:00am
Re: Great news :(
Directories /are/ files. They're just files with links to other files. In fact, rather than separate out directories, they should be handled like files even more than they are, and files should look a lot more like directories.
Directories should be able to have mime types and associated applications. I'd like to be able to create NeXTSTEP-like .app folders that are executed like applications. Files should have directory attributes; I'd like to create associations between files, so that files can be browsed like directories.
The separation of directories and filesystems is a limited metaphor. BoOS, with its DB-based FS was a step in the right direction, but encountered some engineering problems. A very good example of what filesystems /should/ look like is at http://www.reiserfs.org/whitepaper.html. In the short term, artificially increasing the similarity between file nodes and directory nodes is a good thing to do.

You mean that it should be possible to specify drop actions like running
This would be a very good idea, but this is not somthing that should be handled
By Uno Engborg at Tue, 2002/04/16 - 5:00am
Re: Great news :(
>I'm kinda curious about what you mean by this. How would you like it to be >done?
Well, just check it out. Open up Konqueror in Filemanager mode.
Now you should get it.
If still not, have a look at the "Edit" menu. You find the Cut,Copy&Paste items there. Typical for a document-application. (I think, however, that a "real" filemanager should have these as well, since it is a good idea, but it should not be the only way to copy/move files besides drag&drop.)
This kind of interface to access directories was invented by Microsoft. It is a good idea onthe one hand, since it adds consistancy to the user interface.
On the other side it is a horrbile idea, since a directory is completly different from a two document like a Word file, spreadsheet or DTP doc.
Also the treeview is not the best way to represent deeply nested directories. As soon as it is deeper than three or four levels you find yourself resizing the tree-panel already. And this just to name one of the many misconcepts in this.
Also, with these programs (IExplorer, Nautilus and Konq) it is difficult to do power-filemanagement, since the windows are designed in a way, that it is impossible to have several open (on a normal reso like 1024x768 or 1280x1024) without cluttering each other, at least in parts (I am talking of more than 3 or four windows here).
Even than, there is simply no way to add user-defined buttons/menus/shortcuts or popups, one of the most important feature of any decent filemanager.
A "real" filemanager has at least two identically set panes next to each other. Even better four (two on each side but breowsable) even better - as many as you like, layouted in a fashion that allows quick and fast access to many such panes (or better name them "listers).
There are some attempts to give Linux a good filemanager.
Note, that Worker and Gentoo claim to try to imitate a program they reference as "Dopus". Which is short for "DirectoryOpus" the mother of all Filemanagers (it was introduced on AmigaOS and was fully scriptable and configurable. On AmigaOS, configuration of an app means more than moving floating panesl around and adding another theme, it measn usually tailoring all buttons and menus with commands/scripts the user wants.).
Dopus got even better in V5 (and now on Windows it is reviewed as one killer application onmany sites, it is v6). On Amiga it replaced the whole desktop and offered as many views/listers as one wanted. I would like to see a similare approach (without loosing KDE as desktop) with kparts and whatever.
By jon at Fri, 2002/04/12 - 5:00am
Re: Great news :(
Try menu Settings -> Load Profile -> Midnight Commander
As a matter of fact, Konqueror is quite customizeable, you can rearrange its windows as you like.
By ac at Fri, 2002/04/12 - 5:00am
Re: Great news :(
I have commented on that already.
This "MC" mode is not really what I had in mind. You might want to read my previous posts (a few lines up) to see what I am talking about.
Unless you did not see it, please do not suggest Konqueror's MidnightCommander mode.
By jon at Sat, 2002/04/13 - 5:00am
Re: Great news :(
Actually, the first menu is named Location in the English version (at least in 2.2.2). Also, it's important to note that Konqueror is _not_ a file manager. It's a multipurpose app. CC&P is certainly appropriate for a web browser, which Konqueror is, and for many other things that Konqueror does (like PDF viewing, etc, etc). However, I do agree that Konqi's interface is a little contrived at parts. I remember the Konqueror usability study, that had some great ideas that were consequently ignored. Strange, that...
Also, add TkDesk to the list of file managers that are good. Practically everything is scriptable. It doesn't have that multi-pane mode on by default, but you can set that easily enough.
Yeah, it should at least be possible to remove the file manager part and replace it, the same way that you can replace KHTML with Gecko for HTML rendering (though hopefully a little bit more stable :-).
By Carbon at Mon, 2002/04/15 - 5:00am
Re: Great news :(
"Actually, the first menu is named Location in the English version (at least in 2.2.2)."
Ah, okay, thanks for reporting this. So I do not fall on my nose in any later "rants" ;-)
"Also, add TkDesk to the list of file managers that are good. Practically everything is scriptable."
That sounds good. I will check it.
"Yeah, it should at least be possible to remove the file manager part and replace it, [...]"
Yes, a new filemanaging KPart would be nice.
By jon at Sun, 2002/04/21 - 5:00am
I can't read it.
It's a nice idea. But I can't seem to configure it with any color scheme that is even remotely readable. Using gvim for now.
By Jim at Thu, 2002/04/11 - 5:00am
Re: I can't read it.
Yes, having just tried it, I must admit that I had the same problem.
I use gvim with the default colour scheme, and that's fine for me, but kvim with the default scheme seems to not have the same amount of contrast...the colours are all a little too light, the dark blue colour scheme was the closest to being useable for me, but I prefer a white background.
By Stuart Herring at Thu, 2002/04/11 - 5:00am
Re: I can't read it.
have you tried the full vim package ? or only the kvim binary ?
By Mickael Marchand at Thu, 2002/04/11 - 5:00am
Re: I can't read it.
I grabbed the latest development version from CVS, and installed using the kvim copy of the vim runtime.
gvim is 6.1 as provided in debian unstable.
It appears that it's no so much that the colours are bad, but the the interpretation of the syntax highlighting is different.
I've posted screenshots on http://www.cumulo-nimbus.com/vim
I verified that default.vim was identical in both gvim and kvim, and I copied the c.vim from the gvim installation to the kvim one, so they were the same too (though they only differed by a couple of lines relating to comments originaly anyway)
You can see that the colour test pages are nearly identical, whereas the c syntax examples are quite different.
Another thing I noticed is that kvim seems to handle fonts weirdly...when you select a font in the font selection dialogue, the one you actually get is different, and I'm unable to get the same font I use in gvim at all....though font issues may be more of a problem with the KDE libraries in general....
By Stuart Herring at Fri, 2002/04/12 - 5:00am
Re: I can't read it.
thanks a lot for the screenshots, now i know what i have to fix ;)
this is a really 'strange' bug, it will need some investigation
Concerning the fonts,
but this is not yet ready so stay tuned :)
By Mickael Marchand at Fri, 2002/04/12 - 5:00am
Re: I can't read it.
I highly suspect it is messing with the background hint.
Vim has two background modes: dark and light, and sets its colorscheme accordingly.
By Philippe Fremy at Fri, 2002/04/12 - 5:00am
What I find strange...
...is the argument in the FAQ that there was not enough space in KDE's CVS repository. Where's that from? There's gigabytes of free space on the CVS server...
By Anonymous at Thu, 2002/04/11 - 5:00am
Re: What I find strange...
I used to see while using anoncvs
cvs could not create /home/kde/tmp/fkjbgosdvjb: no space
Or something like that. Maybe that's what they are talking about?
By ac at Thu, 2002/04/11 - 5:00am
Re: What I find strange...
I discussed with someone on IRC which explained me that the CVS server was quite full at the time we wanted to add the Vim runtime package in CVS (note that full KVim CVS is more than 16 Mb). cvs.kde.org may have a lot of space, probably some mirrors don't have so much.
checkouting kdenonbeta already take hours ;), adding the 16 Mb of KVim would not have helped it. Morover, KVim cannot be anymore considered as a alpha or beta program, that seemed logical to us to have our own repositery.
But don't worry Tuxfamily is a good hosting place :)
By Mickael Marchand at Thu, 2002/04/11 - 5:00am

Re: I had a dream
Well... It's good that this works at all, but I wouldn't go so far as to call it "even better". Having the choice of using a real editor instead the basic text widget is good. "Even better" would be what he suggests: not being confronted with a basic, feature-less text widget, but having a real editor from the get-go, anywhere and everywhere.
Would make working with Zope much nicer too.

KDE Icons, Where are they?
Hi There.
First of all, great work! I had been waiting for this to happen for a long time and always knew that it would be just a matter of time. We have also startded up porting Emacs to QT/Kde but it is an enormous task.
About the icons in your screendumps, how do you get Kvim to pick up the KDE icons instead of the one's from GVim? Has anyone gotten Kvim with KDE icons instead of GVim? This totally throws of the uniformity of this wonderful application.
By jargon at Sun, 2002/04/14 - 5:00am
Re: KDE Icons, Where are they?
It would really makes sense to have a K[x,]emacs. I think it's probably even more difficult than porting vim. I won't do it, though, I really don't know emacs..

you seem to have an elf file setup so it is read as a config file.
It will be in ~/.vimrc ... first cat this and check that it is a text file and then follow the links from there ... somewhere you will be reading in a binary file

Re: vim probs
Looks like your .viminfo file is an elf executable. You can simply delete it, viminfo only stores some kind of session information.

Microsoft (MSFT) said early Friday that CEO Steve Ballmer will retire over the next 12 months.
That seemed to be just the news many investors were looking for, as it shares rose about 6% to trade at about $34.40 at midday on the Nasdaq, which was shut down for several hours Thursday due to technical glitches.
And while some observers were pointing out how "flat" the stock has performed under Ballmer's leadership, it's worth noting that – recently, at least – Microsoft has done better than the Dow and market darlings like Google (GOOG).
In the past 30 days, for instance, Microsoft shares have risen 2%, while the Dow has declined 2%. Hewlett-Packard (HPQ), which has seen renewed investor interest since Meg Whitman became CEO in September 2011, dropped 14% in the past month.
Two ETFs that track technology, the iShares Dow Jones U.S. Technology ETF (IYW) and the Vanguard IT ETF (VGT), are up 3% for the 30-day period, while the Tech Select Sector SPDR (XLK) is up about 1.5%.
For the past six months, Microsoft has risen nearly 18% versus roughly 9% for the Dow. Vanguard's IT ETF has improved 11%, while the other two IT-focused ETFs have failed to keep up with the Dow, moving up about 7.5% on average.
Year to date, HP stormed ahead with a 60% gain, but Microsoft boosted a 22% improvement versus around 17% for the Dow. The three IT-themed ETFs managed to produce returns of roughly 10% to 14%.
One stock facing challenges similar to those of Microsoft — Cisco (CSCO) — is also up 20% year to date. Both, however, are being surpassed by Google, which has ticked up roughly 25%. Oracle (ORCL), however, has traded completely flat for the year so far, and Apple (AAPL) is down about 5%.
On a 12-month basis, Microsoft — up about 7% — is lagging Google (up 30%) and the Dow, which has gained nearly 18%. And when you push the data out five years, of course, Microsoft — though up about 20% — isn't keeping up with the Dow, which has improved 30%, or Oracle (up 50%) or Apple (up 200%).
Future Shock
The challenge for Ballmer's replacement is a tough one.
"We have embarked on a new strategy with a new organization," the departing CEO said in a press release. "My original thoughts on timing would have had my retirement happen in the middle of our company's transformation to a devices and services company. We need a CEO who will be here longer term for this new direction."
Transforming Microsoft into something other than a software company will be incredibly challenging, observers say. And leadership changes, as HP and Apple have learned, are no guarantee of success at slaying such a dragon.
Ballmer, 57, started at the company when he was 24. He became CEO in January 2000, several years before the iPhone, iPad, YouTube, Facebook, Google, cloud computing and other technology came to dominate much of the industry.
"As this work continues, we are focused on selecting a new CEO to work with the company's senior leadership team to chart the company's course and execute on it in a highly competitive industry," said John Thompson, the lead independent director of the software giant's board.
Investors and others will be sure to watch the selection process closely in the hopes that such leadership can bring Microsoft into the forefront of a rapidly changing but still highly lucrative field.

Almost every man will have difficulty with sexual function at a point in his life that leads to low sexual performance. One such urological condition that leads to low sexual performance is erectile dysfunction or sexual impotence.
Erectile dysfunction refers to the medical term that is used to refer to the consistent inability to maintain or achieve an erection for sexual intercourse. It occurs when there is reduced blood flow to the penis or nerve damage, both of which can be triggered by a number of factors. This condition is one of the most common problems for men, and the chance for a man to develop the condition increases with age.
While male sexual dysfunction does not cause any health problems, it can make men feel anxious and depressed. It can also cause relationship problems for the couples concerned.
A man is at risk if they suffer from:
Sexual performance problems are rarely caused by a single factor. Both psychological and biological factors can contribute to the problem. Regardless of the cause, sexual performance can be extremely frustrating to the mood and self-esteem of the people involved.
Psychological problems include:
Physical tests such as:

Painted Finishes
For the finest presentation-grade surface, we suggest a painted finish. Six solid paint colors are available.
A new speckletone granite finish is also available. Choose any solid base coat color and specify either one or two speckletone paint highlights to create an attractive custom finish.
When you order any paint finish, the underlying stock is hand-sanded, primed, and painted to eliminate all surface imperfections. This is the finish most manufacturers specify for the McMillan stocks that are sold with their custom shop rifles.
The paint we use is an industrial grade, non-slip pebble finish similar to that found on power tools, office machines and industrial equipment. This polyurethane paint is the most durable we can find and is suitable for conditions found from the Arctic to the tropics. However, any painted finish will scratch when dragged over rocks, limbs and other hard surfaces. It is impervious to most gun cleaning solvents, but harsh solvents should be wiped off immediately.
Repainting an existing McMillan Stock
We can repaint any McMillan stock for our customers at a nominal charge.

Ambush Patterns
Desert Ambush is the first offering of the Ambush series. The color pattern was developed for the desert terrain and foliage of the Southwestern United States.
Click on a stock to enlarge the photo
Marble Patterns
Molded-In Colors to Create a Unique Marble Pattern.
Molded in colors are the most durable finish we offer. With a molded finish, the color is impregnated into the gelcoat, or exterior surface layer of the stock. All of the molded-in finishes below should be considered utility-grade. Mold lines, sanding marks, fiberglass cloth and small imperfections may be visible.
Molded-in stocks are provided with a matte finish to minimize light reflection. After receiving your stock, some customers take it upon themselves to further wetblock sand and buff the surface to achieve a polished, warm luster finish. This is particularly attractive with marble patterns.
A molded-in stock will weigh several ounces more than a painted stock due to the additional resin material that is used.
We do our best to make your particular finish as attractive as possible. However, we are limited in what can be accomplished with molded-in colors. Solid colors, especially darker ones, produce the greatest challenge, whereas the camouflage patterns tend to look better because the various colors and shapes hide imperfections. Marbled colors offer the best choice for creating a finished look with a molded-in color.
Marble Finishes
A marble finish is created by swirling two or three different colors into the surface of the stock. The result is a beautiful effect that is unique to your stock. McMillan pioneered this finish, which has become a familiar hallmark of our brand.
Choose any 2 or 3 of the molded in colors to create a unique swirled marble pattern finish for your custom stock. Literally thousands of different patterns can be created, including any you see on our website.
No two stocks are ever made alike as the marbling action is totally random in occurence.
Click on a stock to enlarge the photo.
The most popular marble finishes are shown here. Virtually any color combination is possible and some color combinations are inherently more pleasing than others.
Note that a marble finish can be used as an effective camouflage pattern when using olive green, black, gray and other common camo colors.
Each finish is done by hand and it is impossible to duplicate any particular marble pattern. Because marbling is created in the mold under pressure, patterns are random and not controllable. Specific vertical or horizontal patterns are not possible. Also, colors will change shades somewhat due to the mixing of colors while the swirling is done. Marble stocks may not be returned because of dissatisfaction with the color. However, you may opt to have us paint the stock at our regular price.
The colors on the right are used to create molded-in swirled marble and camo finishes. Solid molded in colored stocks are not available from McMillan.
Camouflage Finishes
McMillan Uses Molded-In Colors to create a Unique Camouflage Finish
Standard Camouflage Patterns
Eleven basic camouflage patterns are standard order items. The colors are not painted on the surface, but are molded into the stock for durability when used in extreme environments. Many military units specify this finish for their tactical stocks, with the choice of colors dependent on the part of the world where the rifle will be deployed. Custom camo patterns of any three or four colors are optional at no extra charge.
Standard – The majority of our stocks are filled with standard fill, also called sporter fill. It is composed of fiberglass cloth and solid fiberglass throughout the forearm and action area. A dense 2 piece foam is used in the butt stock. This fill is used for all calibers up to and including .300 win mag.
Magnum – This fill is used for heaving recoiling and magnum caliber rifles, mainly on hunting stocks. It constructed the same as a standard fill except heavier, thicker and more dense fiberglass is used in the recoil lug and action area to withstand heavy recoil and be easier on the shooter. It will add about 6 ounces of weight to the stock. It will be used for anything above a .300 win mag caliber.
Sniper – This fill is mainly used on magnum calibers on our tactical stocks. It is the same as magnum fill except there is lightweight fiberglass in the butt stock, not foam. This is so hardware for adjustability can be installed onto the butt stock if so desired. With the fiberglass being in the butt, it also helps to balance out rifles with large barrel contours. It will add about 8-10 ounces to the stock.

On our website just click on "stock pricing" to see the current price list. Our price list is broken down into two basic sections where most stocks in that group are all priced the same. For the "Hunting and Sporting" type stocks look in the "hunting" section for the current price for a fully inletted blank. This price includes the color and finish of your choice. Now click or look in the "stock options or accessories list". You will see many optional items here and the price each option will add to the base price. For a hunting stock you can choose from two different recoil pads and specify the length of pull. Just add the price of the pad you choose to the base price. Now for sling or bipod attachment points you can choose standard sling studs or flush cups for flush applications. Just choose what you want and how many and add those prices to the base price and pad price to get a total price for the stock.
In the Tactical and Competition stock section, look again to see the starting base price. These stocks typically have a more solid fiberglass filler material which requires slower inletting speeds and more inletting for stock options and accessories and are priced higher than the hunting stocks because of the increased CNC machine time. Again the base price includes the color and finish of your choice. Go to the stock options and accessories list. Not all stocks have all the options available for them so check with us if you have questions. If you want an adjustable cheekpiece, pick one of the three types available and add that price to the base price. Choose what you want on the butt – just a recoil pad or one of the adjustable butt assemblies and add that price. For sling or bipod attachments choose standard sling studs or flush cups and how many and add those prices. Decide if you want optional accessory rails and bipod studs and add the price. If you want pre-installed machined-in metal pillars around the guard screw holes just specify that and add the price. Now add everything up to get a total price of a stock equipped just the way you want it. In the accessories list you can order different sling loops, or a hand stop, or any of the other accessories that we carry. See, it's really not that complicated once you work through it the first time.

Basic Inlet – where the receiver outline and barrel channel are inlet. There are no screw holes, trigger, safety, bolt handle, recoil lug, bottom metal etc inlet at all, only the actions outline/diameter and the barrel channel is inlet with float.

The old Burgkloster (Monastery) was founded 1227. It sits on the top of the hill. It was also used as prison, among others, during the Nazi regime to keep political prisoners locked. The so-called "Dr. Jazzbunker" in Lübeck shortly before it's demolition in 2012. One of several bunkers which were built across the City of Lübeck during the Nazi time as an air raid shelters for the civilians, this one is well-known because of it's history as "Jazzbunker". Between 1975 and 2008, a private jazz club driven by the band called Dr.Jazz-Companie was seated here. Jazz musicans from all around the world gave concerts in the concrete, well-isolated rooms of the Bunker. After Dr. Jazz left the rooms in 2008, the City Council decided 2012 to demolish the bunker along with neighbour buildings from the 1970s, in order tu build the Hanse-Museum in this place.
Germany? Before the beginning there was Ginnungagap, an empty space of nothingness, filled with pure creative power. (Sort of like the inside of my head.)And it ends with Ragnarok, the twilight of the Gods. In between is much fighting, betrayal and romance. Just as a good Godly story should be.Heroes have their own graveyard called Valhalla. Unfortunately we cannot show you a panorama of it at this time, nor of the lovely Valkyries who are its escort service.Hail Odin, wandering God wielding wisdom and wand! Hail Freya, hail Tyr, hail Thor!Odin made the many lakes and the fish in them. In his traverses across the lands he caused there to be the Mulheim Bridge in Cologne, as did he make the Mercury fountain, Mercury being of his nature.But it is to the mighty Thor that the Hammering Man gives service.Between the time of the Nordic old ones and that of modern Frankfort there may have been a T.Rex or two on the scene. At least some mastodons for sure came through for lunch, then fell into tar pits to become fossils for us to find.And there we must leave you, O my most pure and holy children.Text by Steve Smith.

Sickle cell disease. It's a strange sounding name — but the word "sickle" doesn't come from "sick." The disease got this name because it causes blood cells to be curved or C-shaped, like the shape of an old-fashioned farm tool called a sickle.
Normally, blood cells are round and look a bit like donuts. In people with sickle cell disease, some of the red blood cells harden and curve. They also break down faster than healthy red blood cells and can clog a person's small blood vessels. This causes severe pain, called a "pain crisis."
A pain crisis can last for a few moments, a few days, or even longer. Medications can help lessen the pain.
People with sickle cell disease can develop anemia. They also may have some jaundice.
Sickle cell disease is inherited. People are born with it. It's not contagious, so you can't catch it from someone. Sickle cell disease is a lifelong health condition. Right now, there's no cure, but there are things doctors can do to help.
Because of sickle cell disease, your friend may be tired more often than you are or have trouble fighting infections.
Most teens with sickle cell disease have to pay extra attention to diet, take vitamins (especially folic acid), exercise, get enough rest, and stay hydrated by drinking enough water. They need to watch how their bodies respond to infections like a cold. Some people take antibiotics to help fight off bacteria.
People with sickle cell disease may have to limit some activities, especially certain sports. They need to avoid extreme temperatures, like severe cold, which can bring on a pain crisis.
A friend with sickle cell disease might need to go to the doctor a lot. Going through a pain crisis can mean missing lots of school days in a row. Sometimes a crisis can be handled at home, with rest, fluid, medicine, and other things to manage pain. Other times it's necessary to go to the hospital. Some people may have frequent pain crises; others may have them less often.
Being there for a friend is always a good thing. But it's even more important when someone is dealing with an illness like sickle cell. Missing a lot of school can mean falling behind on schoolwork and having to skip social activities, which can make a person feel isolated and alone.
If your friend is missing school because of a pain crisis, he or she will probably be glad when you visit. Hang out, listen to music, talk about what's going on at school, or do homework together. If you can't be there in person, find another way to talk.
Encourage healthy habits. Everyone should eat well and stay hydrated, but it's especially important for someone with sickle cell disease. Help your friend avoid alcohol and smoking, both of which can aggravate the condition. It's a huge help to a friend (not to mention your own health) when you don't drink or smoke, since people who feel like they're "different" might think they have to drink or smoke in order to fit in. Join your friend in making healthy choices for lunch and snacks.
Know the warning signs. If you notice certain things happening to your friend, get in touch with an adult (such as a school nurse, coach, or your friend's parent) right away. Your friend could need medical help if he or she has:
Sickle cell disease carries a (small) risk of stroke, so it's good to know which signs can require medical help. But don't panic, and don't let watching for danger signs get in the way of having fun together. Most problems won't be serious.
Managing a chronic disease takes a lot of energy. Your friend may tire more easily than you do. If your friend has to miss school or starts to fall behind, nominate yourself to be the person in charge of bringing books and assignments and keeping him or her up to date on what classmates and friends are doing.
There's a lot more to your friend than having sickle cell disease, so don't let the disease take center stage. Treat your friend as you would any good friend, and focus on having fun together.
