Yesterday I wrote about switching my work laptop to KDE. After playing around a bit with the Kontrol Center, I’ve got it mostly looking and feeling like how I want. I’ll blog about that in the next article. For this article, I want to just reminisce about Evolution and Gnome and how I miss them. A picture is worth at least a couple of words, so have a look:
Now, my home laptop is for my Gentoo work, so it is still gnome-based. However, I’ve started the memo and tasks functionality here, so it seems like it’s only a small matter of time before things flake out here. Apparently, there’s an extension to t-bird somewhere that adds calendaring, so that may be a future option. However, that’s a completely non-integrated solution so it’s at the bottom of my list.
Some people may ask me why I don’t just use Google’s Calendar (I’ve definitely gotten suggestions to do so in the past). Thanks, but I barely use GMail for any of my personal email. I’m not about to give Google (a search engine, for eff’s sake) complete access to all my life’s goings-on. Besides, I have a desktop for a reason — I want to use the damned thing. Not everything happens in my web browser. Not everything should, either, I don’t think. If, someday, that becomes a short-sighted statement and the entirety of my computer experience is web-based, I’ll take that statement back (and I expect full integration). For now, it stands.
Tomorrow, I’ll go into some annoyances about KDE in general: font sizes in GTK apps (like firefox), icon sizes on the desKtop and the lack of clickability on URLs in Kterminal or whatever that thing is called.
Meanwhile, if anyone out there has a solution for me to make KDE’s panel klock applet integrate better with kontact, that’d be kool.

Great post! I?m just starting out in community management/marketing media and trying to learn how to do it well - resources like this article are incredibly helpful. As our company is based in the US, it?s all a bit new to us. The example above is something that I worry about as well, how to show your own genuine enthusiasm and share the fact that your product is useful in that case
Wow! Thank you! I constantly needed to write on my site something like that. Can I take a part of your post to my website?
