Here we are, Sebastien’s place… changed a lot… new furnitures, washing machine… Cool. Today we will try to visit some museums and the Eiffel tower, the weather is cold but nice. Today morning I managed to buy some bread and Coke, in French. I’m proud of myself 🙂

Tomorrow evening we will visit Sebastien (this is a picture, his website is down) in Paris. This is the first time Maji will join to us, he will be a bit unhappy with the other people speaking foreign languages and no Hungarian. He can understand some basic words and expressions like “Yes”, “No”, “OK”, “Let’s go” in English but nothing in French. We will show him the city, I’m sure he will enjoy the trip.

Last week I held a seminar about GIMP, within the confines of IPSZILON project by NIIF. There were a live stream and there will be an archive some day later.

I like it! I have some time today to write a blog entry about my exams and other things. I did my exams well (I have written a graphics and an applied informatics exam last week, a numeric recipes exam yesterday), I will have to make a homework about didactics and I will have a programming languages exam next week, too. Then two more semesters and I got my MSC!

I borrowed a PowerMac G5 form HAndras, I met him first on a MUG meeting where I saw his G5 (A clip from HAndras) He managed to sell his “old” 1.6 GHz model and to buy a new one, a freaking dual 2GHz G5. While the old one is waiting for the new owner HAndras was so kind he gave it to me to compile the OpenOffice.org. I am so happy!
