So I am in Spain/Malaga. First, I would like to thank HnZeKtO for picking me up from the airport. My plane was 40 minutes late (you quite get used to that when flying with BA), before that spent 4h at the Gatwick airport. The have no free wifi @#$^#@$%^!#$^#$&$#. Weather is great, ppl friendly, although usually don't speak English at all, or rather poor. Whether woman are hot, is still to be found. Truth is, every one is walking here half naked. Which is great :-) Makes me sweat even more. For curious loozers that couldn't get their arses up here, here are some photos (I will update it as it will grow) - http://gj.pointblue.com.pl/akademy2005/ . Read More

I was born, long ago.... as the song says. 0x1C, still teenager in Hex :P So we are planing to drink a lot of .... alcohol tonight. Good, I can still do that :p Read More

Well, I decided to do something over weekend. But not usual thing. I thought, that maybe I should think about some hacks in real life. Flaws, etc. My mind is always like that. I always find bad things, not positive ones. Instead of joyfull life, I tend to feel nothing makes sense, or find problems. So... Here in North America, and in UK, as far as I know, most companies rent office space at some fancy location. For instance, nice little building downtown. In Vancouver that would be metro tower (I or II), Harbour Centre, etc. So, as employee you got this little card, that opens the door for you. But have you ever been at work very early ? Or tried to gain access to the office after 1900 ? Well, I never, but I decided to give it a shot. So, imagine I got your card. All it says on it, is name of company that rents offices, owner of building, whatever. Providing I have that info, I can find the place. Cool, but these cards are provided so that no one but you can get in. Right ? based on what ? I have that card, I know which building it might be. I go there 5:50 in the morning, door's closed. Damn. Hold on, here's card reader. I stick it in, got "green". Cool, open the door. Now lift (some call it in here elevator), you call it, got it, got inside, but, hmm, 26 floors, how the hell should I know which floor is it ? Again, there's little hole with little red led. Stick your card in it, 11th, cool. I love automation ;) Now, 3 offices on the floor. Same thing, stick it in, got green ? no, another one. Eventually you'll find it. Door is opened. You got in, grab some nice little Mac, and off home ;-) That was way too easy ?. Nah. Even more, you were guided. Nice feature ;) I wonder who was so smart and decided to add such feature to card system. I can understand the fact that doors close at night/weekends. But lift that knows where I want to go?, this is bit over my head. Bottom line: you don't want to be too friendly to your users. Read More

So, today wasn't very good day for me. First, I didn't manage to finish my project at work as expected today. I was asked to add few things to bind-dlz. Basically T-SIG database support. Anyway, I decided to cycle around Stanley Park. Stunning place BTW., just in the middle of road my rear tire was completely flat, as it turned out, small piece of glass made hole in my rear tube. Not only I wasn't able to chase back that nice girl I was talking to before, to ask her out, or just ask her for phone number, email, whatever. But also I had to walk my bicycle all the way downtown. 1.5h. One and the half hour, not wasted. I had a chance to look at the city from another perspective. At my life. This place is a paradise for me. If there is anything I would like now very much, is to be Canadian, and be able to stay here forever. Vancouver, BC is really really my dream place. Through out all these years, when I managed to get from someone not having anything, someone who never was anywhere, never tried anything in his life up to today, being in this gorgeous place, having very good job, being able to do so much. I can't imagine my life can be better. Now if only I will manage to stay here, settle down up here, have family, continue bussines up here life would be perfect. Yeah, one and the half hour all alone. One on One with me self. Read More

SCO's OpenServer 6 is released. Oh well, another few bits mocked up from linux kernel into OpenServer, who cares anyway, right ?. Well, there's one line in that announcement that should make us proud. They choose KDE. Quote: "SCO OpenServer 6 includes application support for powerful SCO UnixWare® applications, and provides the easy-to-use KDE® graphical interface.". Guys, in case you didn't noticed yet, it's GPL. GPL, the one that's illegal. The one that allowed all these bad terrorists to do bad stuff, etc.... Hypocrisy - at its best. Read More

Still trapped in Vancouver, BC. Since chasing girls did not bring any positve results, I decided to buy meself a guitar, and start to play again. I just purchased nice shiny Ibanez and Pod XT live (supported hardly by linux, but works fine on Mac). So, if Duncan going to attend meeting in malaga, and will have his guitar with him, expect some kopetallica ;] Read More

Well , i am back after i spend one week working on some projects in my company. I hope someday maybe somebody will pay me just for doing what i like to do :-) We can dream, always... Anyway, first change: moving contact import to gaducommands.cpp again. Misterious error with contact in one line - i need somebody to test it in ekg and kadu, i know about this problem and this will be done later. But as this should not happend, and never happend to me - i am waiting for help. Zack ? :> Read More

Well, i am working on gadu for few weeks now. But there was not even single bug reported during this time (on bugs.kde.org). Maybe i should consider entering few bugs my self :-> Read More
