Some time ago, the same happened to me and I ended up with gdb in one hand and our network management software stack in the other, until some 20 minutes later I found out that it&#8217;s really the killswitch, that I&#8217;ve hit accidentally. Being somewhere in between amused and pissed off by this, I went ahead and added the fact that the killswitch is off to the network management Plasma widget&#8217;s tooltip. Time well spent. :)<\/li>\n<li>The prospect of most of the KDE code moving to Git next weekend.<\/li>\n<li>The irony of having the people that come to collect the old paper putting a piece of paper in the mail box telling that they&#8217;re a &#8220;Fanfare&#8221; group, (some folklore \/ carnival background, apparently), and that they&#8217;d use the money they&#8217;re get for the old paper (valuable raw material) for new instruments. I had wondered just about that, in an idle moment last week. In the spirit of supporting their cause, I&#8217;ll dutifully return the sheet of paper next time they come collecting.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div>\\Update:<\/div>\n<div>\n<ul>\n<li>A nice glass of Port wine (Graham&#8217;s Ruby Reserve) :-)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A pint of double espresso latte to start the day with.&nbsp; Having worked with awesome people on making this release happen.
