Actually a remake of my previous article. In that article I was trying to calculate the total number of different possible games that can be seen in bridge.
Now, I'll explain how I arrive to the same number 635,013,559,600 - which is the total number of possible different hands you can receive.

Is the name Patrice has given to his bridge section on his web page.
Somehow, this got my imagination running and I wondered... is this true?

Well, thanks to some fine tips from the gentoo website, I was able to start the KDE UI without too much trouble. (Thank god for Internet.)
KDE runs fine. KPersonalizer didnt start right off the bat, but I got it starting easily.
I've got one issue.
I'm running at 640x480 resolution.
And
it's
killing
me.
I don't know what to do... I know gentoo found my video card (can't remember what it is... I think it's an nVidia card... yes... I see the "driver" lying around somewhere). I know my monitor can do above 640x480 (I've got a monitor that can't if you can actually believe that...).
KDE does allow me to go to 320x200. Which is amusing, but offers me nothing but amusement value. I mean, come on. 320x200?
I want at least 800x600 out of this. I want 1024x768 from that old setup.
But I don't know where to go yet...

Well, I've been a software developper for just about as long as I can remember.
I love design.
I love problem solving.
I love efficiency.
I love elegance.
I love effectiveness.
I love when all of these previous things work towards a similar goal.
Why do I think a blog on dev. technology is of public interrest?
I've used alot of open source the last few years. I'm senior partner in a software development company. I've lead projects. I've designed projects. I've coded on projects. I've anaysed from specs. I've analysed from talking to customer. I've developped UI. I've developped visual identities. I've developped marketing campains. I've done support. I've done QA. I've set up machines. I've had my hands in mostly every aspects of a project.
I'd say one of my main skills is being able to keep in mind alot of a project's different aspects.
That's why I think my thoughts might be worth a thought or two.
Hope you'll often agree with me.
