A few posts back I bemoaned the upgrade process from Qt3 to 4. Having completed it some time back, I now wonder what all the fuss was about. Qt4 is great! Form subclassing using private inheritance works well, the form designer is cleaner, integration with KDevelop is very good, and generally the whole toolbox has… Continue reading Upgrade From Qt3 to Qt4 — Part Deux

Vertigo
Alfred Hitchcock’s masterpiece Vertigo is a film about obsession, so perhaps it is not strange that the film itself can become an obsession to the viewer. Scotty’s first view of Madeleine If you have not seen the film, stop right here and go out and get it on DVD or watch in on TV —… Continue reading Vertigo

The Outer Limits Season I
I’m referring to the original series, circa 1963-64. I have never seen the new series, but have heard it is rather lame. When I first saw the original series I was in my formative years of 11-13. I remember reading a review of the series back then that made the point that the monsters weren’t… Continue reading The Outer Limits Season I

Very belatedly, I have decided to migrate my project EP Simulator from Trolltech’s gui framework Qt version 3 to version 4. I should have started with Qt4 in the first place, but all my books were Qt3 books (actually I own just 1 Qt book), and I had the mistaken notion that Qt4 wouldn’t work… Continue reading The Great Migration (from Qt3 to 4) Part I

Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea
I am halfway through the second season of the DVD release of the 1960s TV show “Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea” (VTTBOTS), and taking great pleasure in reliving my teenage years in the process. This was one of my favorite shows at the time, and it is fascinating to see the shows again… Continue reading Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea
The Crusades
An interesting event occurred at the MEPS (Military Entrance and Processing Station) earlier this week. I’m the Chief Medical Officer there and that’s where I perform accession physicals for people who are interested in joining the military. First, here’s a little background: Prior to shipping to basic training, I perform a quick exam called an… Continue reading The Crusades
