Gtask + Linux + KDE4
May 26
If you are wondering how to visualize your Google task applet on KDE4 and you do not want to bang your head on the wall, you can follow the following steps.
(Pre-requisite you’ll never use your Konqueror to access Gmail as this configuration force your Gmail to HTTP version)
1. First go to Konqueror Settings -> Configure Konqueror -> Browser Identification
2. Add a new Site Specification for the link mail.google.com, as Agent you should choose Wget (no matter the version)
3. Add a Browser widget on your desktop and visit this website here: https://mail.google.com/tasks/
DONE!
Easy…
EDIT:
A new direct way to do it is visiting directly the following link:
https://mail.google.com/tasks/ig?pli=1
Pro: It does not destroy the configuration of Konqueror for Gmail. But the first method is still more functional and practical.
Now I am seriously scared. My Linux computer is in Danger. I was infected by a real VIRUS!!!

Here the graph generated while working at my workstation. As you can see the bottom right part is almost never used. Big circles represents pauses of the mouse (are the time while I use my shell or I write or I read something). The bottom part is my task manager (even if I use a lot the Alt-Tab) plus the top-left part is dedicated to my menu.

My new Religion. Seriously speaking, at least admit what every religion does not. At least it says good things and advises you they’re only bullshits.
All of the true things I am about to tell you are shameless lies.
In the beginning, God created earth, and he looked upon it in His cosmic loneliness.And God said, “Let Us make living creatures out of mud, so the mud can see what We have done.” And God created every living creature that now moveth, and one was man. Mud as man alone could speak. God leaned close as mud as man sat up, looked around, and spoke. Man blinked. “What is the purpose of all this?” he asked politely.
“Everything must have a purpose?” asked God.
“Certainly,” said man.
“Then I leave it to you to think of one for all this,” said God. And He went away.
“Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before. He is full of murderous resentment of people who are ignorant without having come by their ignorance the hard way.”
