KDM and Plasma: A future

“It’s surprising to me to think that in 17 days I will be 18.
Not really a big deal though as I have always disliked birthday
parties (only enjoyed the chocolate cake..oh yes..the chocolate
cake). Now that this is my senior year, I am anxious to get out of
high school, yet dread the amount of work involved with college,
which would inevitably leave me with *less* time for kde.

“By the way, if anyone is wondering what happened to my summer
of kde project (“progress in icons”), it’s been finished but I had
missed the deadline to commit it to 4.4 (due to homework and other
busyness), so it will show up in 4.5.

“Anyways, now that I’ve forced you to read all of that..I’d like
to talk about KDM and Plasma combining forces. Well, since I always
need to be coding something, regardless of whether or not I have
any free-time, I have (begun to plan out and create(began today), a
Plasma frontend for our login manager, kdm.”
