Now if only they would make it and dolphin into kparts so that I can do everything with today's Konqueror that I used to do with the 3.5 branch of Konqueror. It would be especially nice to be able to open links with a promiscuous reqonq or a strict konq. I'd also like to have a local file view split with web sites as Konq continues to deliver.

It still serves about a quarter of a million hits per day at the back end (not cache) of this site, owing primarily to my extensive archives (there is also a lot of traffic in some other sites of mine, but not as much). I wrote 15,000 articles in that site... in 5 years, meaning about 10 a day for 5 years. | Mar 03 14:25 |
