Today I wanted to comment on an entry on Livejournal to find that they had a new identity system implemented. They now support OpenID. When taking a closer look, this system looks mighty interesting. I think I'll have a look at how this works, see if I can somehow implement this using PHP.

The main trouble was that some KDE apps for some reason started with an offset of -40 or so, causing the menu to disappear above my screen. There was no way to move it back. Luckily, today, zeroK pointed me to Devil's Pie, a small app that you can run in the background, and which helps you to control the placement (and quite a few other attributes) of new windows that appear on your screen. Very nice! So now, all my windows start nicely at offset 0,0 in the upper left corner of my screen.

I look back with a very positive feeling, and look forward with an even more positive feeling. I rest assured that Techie-Micheal will do a good job as the new Support Team Leader. And I'll still be a part of the Support Team, doing that which I like most: helping people with phpBB.
