Linux, Konqueror 4 and more
5 November 2008, 19:44
Sunday I upgraded my Ubuntu installation to the new version: Ubuntu 8.10. Almost three years ago I switched to using Linux exclusively. I haven't reinstalled Ubuntu since then. I always upgrade my system every 6 months, and then I spend a few days fixing post-upgrade issues. It's a pleasure. ;)
I am working on a new painting Web application. The greatest surprise to me was that the new Konqueror 4 implements
<canvas>, and it does this theoretically better than Opera. I will
make my Web application public and you will see this. Amazing and very quick work done by the Konqueror developers.
Congratulations, guys!
Note: I initially thought that the Konqueror implementation of Canvas is just a copy of the code from Webkit, but it's not. They wrote their own code, which is great.
On a related note, I have published a new page with some of my Linux configuration files.
