Today has been a good day. First off, I just uploaded an updated set of lancelot packages. These packages are now compiled against KDE4.1.1 (they’ll probably work on older ones but don’t quote me on that) and contain a fix in the slack-desc file (thanks Kenjiro Tanaka for pointing that out).
Secondly, I’m now running KDE4.1.1 for bluewhite64 mere days after the official release, another big thank you going out to Kenjiro once more as he was the one who built these packages. I love how alive the community around BW64 is 
KDE4.1.1 is quite impressive for a mere maintenance release and I definitely has a slicker feel to it. Things just work that tiny bit better especially in plasma. Still runs slow on my system though and I still blame NVidia, despite the fact that it now renders at a good speed, kwin still uses massive amounts of CPU even with effects turned off.
Finally I also discoverd wicd, courtesy of Robby Workman – finally a lovely userspace tool for network management that doesn’t bugger up the slackware philosophy, handles WPA with sweet beauty and doesn’t depend on half of gnome like NetworkManager does.
