Dear Qt community,

We here at Qt Software hate to explain a joke but obviously our reference here was a touch too obscure. We have historically suffered from people being unsure how to pronounce Qt. Some say Q-T, while others say “cute”. The correct way to say it is “cute”, due to the way the letters Q + T are pronounced in Norwegian.

Qt Overload was designed to help reinforce how to pronounce Qt. We tried to spoof a website called Cute Overload, a popular site for cute things. We launched this on April 1 because we hoped that people would realize this isn’t our real community site, it’s just for fun.

Sincerely,

The Trolls

PS: We found this really darn funny - at least we amused ourselves

Springtime is here and birds are looking for a home and a mate. In my garden, I’ve a nice nest box and I’m anxiously awaiting its occupation.

Watching the Bird's home

To keep track of any interested birds, I’ve hung my N800 in the tree, with the camera facing the nest box. The web browser is also running and it is pointing to twitter. To make it easier for the birds to let their presence be known, I’ve set the input method to virtual keyboard. What’s missing is software to recognise the birds by song and appearance.

Thanks to Jos for this neat submission.
