I’ve posted a few photos on flickr. The Christmas Party is here, and you can look around and find others as well.

For any of you QtRuby enthusiasts or wanna-bes, here is a good look at Qt’s signal and slots in comparison to the Observer design pattern, as well as information about how you can now mix Boost signals with Qt signals in Qt 4.1!

One show on TV I really like to watch is Airline. It’s on A&E, which in itself is probably a bit of a black eye, but in fact it’s not too bad of a show. I recommend watching it if you have time - don’t make a special effort, but definitely Tivo it (or whatever type of recording device you have) if you think about it.

Just a quick note - Qt 4.1.0 is now in portage. This version offers a few nicities over the 4.0 series, like integrated QTestLib stuff (for C++ based unit testing), faster rendering on some platforms, a slew of bug fixes, extensions to Qt Designer, and a PDF backend to the QPrinter system. SVG is also now supported within its own new module.
