In nutshell: Figthing cockroaches, working hard, trying to survive the hot weather.

Beregszasz (Beregovo), Ukraine, Dormitory of Transcarpatian Hungarian College Named After Ferenc Rakoczi II… tomorrow we will give speeches on free software for teachers. I’m sitting in front of my machine, after a long trip. We had a meeting in Nyiregyhaza with the others and some pizza then in a 5 cars long convoy we started to annoy the border guards 🙂 It was a dumb situation when the Ukrainian border guard asked us (of course in Ukrainian language) about why we are waiting in a forbidden area.

I mean from one rent into another… kills me. Aaaahh!!!!

Today we got married silently.

We will make a new event at A4 Apple Center (Andrassy street 4, Budapest) at Friday, Jun 30 about Mac OS X Server operating system and people around servers, read: system administrators. My friends (who are exceptional professionals super pro-gurus) will be there, if you have questions or want to meet someone (for example me) please come. I mean you are welcome. We will talk about servers, new technologies around Macs, free software projects, development, ideas, etc.

So, after hard times I have another chance to express my ideas and feelings about my environment. I’ve got new server! Wow, wow! I’m so happy! Few words about last months: I’m working at A4 Apple Center as Head of development, we are making financial systems for clients with Mac systems. I’m quite happy with my squash play. I had to make myself move somehow. Unfortunately BMP has moved back to Bicske so I haven’t got permanent partner.

Good question… Maybe I have no spare time… 🙁

OK, so it’s time for review last year. I’m happy it’s over. I hope I will like 2006 better. Projects: Two major Flash-MySQL-perl based TV show game (currently in use on ATV and Duna TV) Web sites (kepvadasz.hu, A4 Apple Center, …) Call Center application in Cocoa, Webkit, PHP and MySQL OpenOffice.org 2.0 Hungarian version with Hunspell for Mac OS X, aka FSF.hu build contribution in TV show called Macians (currently I feel shame because I have no time) on Fix.

Yesterday I have bought a Nokia 6111. This is a good-looking Series 40 phone (sigh, no more python/c++ hacking, no more iSync)… While there is a program to sync contacts, etc (works well with 6111) called PhoneDirector from MacMedia, I had to write my own (and free) app to upload the contents of my Address Book to the phone. Gnokii is a good choice, if you have just one contact to sync but if you have few hundred you will have to make a script.

New, faster, with fewer Java based bugs. Cool! I have to say Patric is working hard and making fantastic things around NeoOffice/J. Thanks, and please keep this process. Feel free to download the performance patch, it applies to 1.1 (downloadable from neooffice.org)…
