If you're using klipper, the enhanced KDE clipboard manager, or if you have noticed Konqueror's excellent history support, then you already know a bit of who Carsten Pfeiffer is and what he does for KDE. He answers the questions this week in Tink's popular interviews series with the People of KDE. Enjoy!

Klipper is one of the best and most useful KDE utils ever. It simply rules!
Coolo's quote at the end Kracks me up! hee hee.

Why "gis" ?
Why "Otter" ? ;)
Carsten == Global Information System
;-p
gis is just short for gismoe, a nickname I've had for a long time (remember the movie Gremlins?). No, I don't behave weird when eating something after midnight :)
Heh, we all know that "gis" short for "Gisela".
Is it it that what happens to you after midnight?

Cheers,

No, but actually I do behave a bit weird around midnight, because that's when that !#*&% SuSE cronjob starts to scan my entire harddisk, basically killing anything else you're currently doing ;)
Hehe ;-)

Hi Lukas,
yes, I did notice your new @suse.cz address :)
Congrats! BTW, the midnight-cronjob seems to be fixed in SuSE 7.1, at least it seems to be not that annoying anymore.
why not try:
hdparam -c1d1 /dev/
might at least make the suffering shorter :)
It makes a huge diffrense on my box.
Don't work with scsi but i don't
think you have it :)
should be /dev/"harddrive"
it seems to be an error in the tag validation code,
the last post broke something :)
Yes, I have those settings already... They had quite a positive effect, but the cronjob still sucked.
Well, that's SuSE geek protection. Take it serious and go to bed ;)
Hi Carsten, please share your .emacs with us ;-))
It's now at http://master.kde.org/~pfeiffer/emacs-stuff.tgz (containing a dir with .emacs and .xemacs-options for those interested).
Kuickshow is the only KDE 1 program I still use. I am eagerly awaiting the new release...
If you want to test-drive the KDE2 version, check http://master.kde.org/~pfeiffer/, there's a preliminary version that does sort of work. Some parts are non-functional tho, e.g. the config-dialog.
A fully working version should be available in 2-3 weeks.
