Ten thousand

10.000 last.fm listenings! I registered on the 11th January 2009, since then it remembers my tracks, and I subscribed on the 1st May 2009, which is the day of work in Hungary and a perfect occasion to celebrate. In this period could I gather 10.000 listenings, which is 31 tracks a day. Depending on the viewpoint the milestone was Simple Plan – I’d do anything or Drumsound & Simon “Bassline” Smith – Get Through. About my genres:

Improvements of a self-drawing

I need it, ’cause it’s cool. I need it, ’cause people say I’m creative and good with my hands. I need it, ’cause while I draw it I do nothing else. And at last I need a new one. I need a new one because the old one was drawn in Macromedia Flash, and while I took care of the source file I was lazy to actually find it. I only touch commercial (now Adobe) stuff when I have to anyway. So I started to redraw myself in Inkscape. Here it is:

Projects for the summer

The university is over, and I still have 2 months left from the summer. I’ll spend the time in front of my computer working on the following projects:

Pro-poison

Note to self: it ain’t enough to leave a clan’s ranks, but you should never join another clan’s server! They are filled with ego and envy. I was just suspected of cheating on some [Z] server, but I wasn’t even powning.

Gnash Summer Project Seeks Donations

Open Media Now has the goal that Gnash gets support for flash 9 at the end of the summer. They will hire students, obviously just like the GSOC and will ran through the AS3 libraries. The project still needs 75,000 dollars, but you can help too. I’ve already donated, and now I’m making my blog readers aware of it.

Drupal in the Deep

The Hungarian Wesnoth Community page was the first site, where I used Drupal. And it remains the first according to Drupal development too. We have a championship over there, which required some pretty complex moduls. But Drupal is the most logical content management system out there, so I thought anything will go like a breeze. Well, it didn’t.

Quest for a fast desktop

I’m a Linux user for a little more then a year. I always favoured Debian and Xfce, but I really tried out a lot of distros, and some desktop environments. But I like Debian for it’s stability, and Xfce for it’s nice design but fast speed. Last month the Xfce team released the next stable 4.6, with a tons of nice features I wanted to try out. Debian still has no packages from that, but yesterday I felt really brave to compile it. I went for the graphical install package which is an easy way to install it. It had a few dependencies, but since I got Debian installing dev packages goes really fast. After 30 minutes or so, I had the 4.6 installed and running. Almost. Because the new settings manager didn’t worked, and that’s the same reason the xfconf package is missing from experimental I guess.

New start in spring

Spring always simbolises something new. My site has reborned too, but for the English speakers it’s the first time they can read the content. I had a small self-made PHP site since 18th January 2006, and I closed it down this week, at the 24 February 2009. And today Drupal emerged to be the ancestor, and to arrange every content which should pop out of my not well organized mind.

Drupalisation

This word doesn’t exist, but my site eventually went through this process. Instead of the old shattered and torn code the PHP magician Drupal mixes the soup which my site is. I’ve got all my old content here but this is the first time that my page is bilingual. If you want to read more about the past of the page, and the future I have in mind, please read about that in my blog.

XHTML 2 discontinued

The W3C announced that it will drop XHTML 2 in favor of HTML 5. It’s a sad thing because the XML well-formedness could have spared a lot of effort and processing power on different platforms. It easier to write an XML parser, than an SGML parser and since Leonardo Da Vinci we all know that simplicity is the ultimate sophistication so I feel XHTML more symphatic. But we shouldn’t fear, the guys previously working on XHTML2 will boost the finishing of HTML5, and after it is finished, we will have an XHTML5 :).
