Talk is cheap, show me the code
Yesterday was the data engine, and today is the plasmoid. I have to refine the data structure within Cineplex21 Data Engine. Mostly to comply with the API. There’s no ultimate rule on how you should structure your data. Though it would be nice to follow the example given on other plasmoids. At least until there’s an official standard for it.
I started this plasmoids from Clock code. Copy the folder and rename the bits. CMakeList.txt almost made me pulling out hairs, until I found the typo. I missed one line that still referring to ${clock_SRCS}. That’s what you’ll get for being lazy :p
So, that’s it. You can see it in the screenshot. A very minimal look with very minimal info. TODO: add schedule information, and maybe put some credits information in it. I need to tell that data is pulled from 21cineplex.com via Dapper.
For you Indonesian, put this plasmoid on your desktop! Huzzah for KDE4!! Banzai~
PS:
it’s now hardcoded to show schedule for Ambarukmo Plaza Studio. It’s a matter of config to make it possible to choose which theater to display.
This section gives me most headache. But experience told me that this blog mostly contains personal ramblings related to daily life, open source, and web 2.0. Recently, it turns out to be an idea-box where you can found ideas you can execute in your new startup ;). My ideas and opinions are not bullet proof and never intended to be one way stream. Kindly participate to improve your and my perspective regarding any particular post. Welcome aboard and enjoy your stay

Yes. Visually, it’s similar to those you may found in Mac. I can’t compare the underneath infrastructure though.
Anyway, selamat lulus pendadaran. Congrats on your straight A

Yuk upgrade KDE-nya. Disetup di separate user saja seperti yang dicontohkan step-by-step di techbase-nya KDE. Untuk komplasi, ayo kita buat icecream cluster-nya.
Gogogo KDE 4.0

Do you think you might also be able to make a plasma data engine for TV listing services such as http://www.schedulesdirect.org/aboutus ?
would be very cool to see my TV listings on my desktop
