schestowitzI'll add it now. First, Tim and I need to sort things out with video and Stallman. We also want to have Rusty regularly and then bring more guests, which would require some preparation.Apr 30 15:24

schestowitzBTW, I have run the same KDE session for over a month now. It's a new recordApr 30 19:19
schestowitzI didn't even need to move to other ttysApr 30 19:19
schestowitzjust shows how solid the platform is and how memory leaks are no longer something that need refreshingApr 30 19:19
schestowitzReboots I could avoid for half a year, but kde sessions I used to reopen about once in a week or two. IIRC you're still on 4.3.Apr 30 19:20
schestowitzKDE 4 is FANTASTIC!Apr 30 19:20
schestowitzMy shifts moved from 9-6 to 6pm-2am, which is good news as that allows me to better exploit daytime on Saturdays and SundaysApr 30 19:25
MinceRi'm not sure if that qualifies as "solid"Apr 30 19:41

schestowitzit was a bit rustyApr 30 20:20
schestowitzNot many widgets eitherApr 30 20:20
MinceR"better than 4.3" is not the same as "solid"Apr 30 20:20
schestowitzI used to be on 4.3, plasma was slow and buggyApr 30 20:20
schestowitzplasma-desktop harmed the whole desktopApr 30 20:20

schestowitzI suppose it is possible that the Easter break and another national holiday in Australia (a friend from another Australian university has just told me about it) might explain the lack of response from UWA. It would be preferable to use exactly the same datasets to compare results, e.g. the rather unfair GMDS vs EDM benchmarks.Apr 30 21:19
