It's nice to se my translation getting into GNOME 2.26, hopefully you'll like it. I know the Scribus folks still wait for me to translate the docs, but I think with the recent changes in my life I'll be able to get back to it. You ask what are these changes (well, probably you didn't)? Well, for now I can't tell you much, heck, I can't tell you anything but in due time you will know. So here's my TODO list for the year 2009:

1. Write my master thesis (of course there's still the question what for?)
2. Do some more GNOME translations.
3. Translate Scribus's docs
4. Get married… OK, this one isn't actually on my list, but hey - you can still have dreams, can't you?

Planet - A Year Of Edits On OpenStreetMap

Planet - A Year Of Edits On OpenStreetMap, originally uploaded by Peter Ito.

As you can see (thanks to the wonderful visualisation from Peter Ito) we've been pretty busy mapping last year, even in regions I wouldn't suspect there's someone out there ;)
Let 2009 end in more glowing colours!!!

Is it that time of the year again?

The book meme is still alive, so once again:

• Grab the nearest book.
• Open it to page 56.
• Find the fifth sentence.
• Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.
• Don’t dig for your favorite book, the cool book, or the intellectual one: pick the CLOSEST.

"When the QLabels are added to the status bar, they are automatically reparented to make them children of the status bar."

And the winner is "C++ GUI Programming with Qt 4" second edition by Jasmin Blanchette and Mark Summerfield. Thank <deity> this wasn't "ANSI C" by Kernighan and Ritchie which is lying beneath the Qt book, but sadly Stanisław Lem's "Tales of Pirx the Pilot" where to far away, although also on top of another stack of books

Looks like Mark D. is right - we all are depressingly geeky...

Zakręt

Nie słyszałeś jeszcze tej kapeli? Zapraszam więc na koncert!
Niestety poprzednim razem nie mogłem dojechać, lecz teraz musi mi się udać—najwyżej specjalnie wezmę sobie urlop ;) Jakby ktoś chciał jechać ze Śremu/Kórnika to na priv poproszę w samochodzie zawsze znajdzie się miejsce...p>

End of an era

In a few weeks I'll be shutting down my home server (please don't start the discussion about the definition of a server again!). This means that my current XMPP account will cease to exist and it will be reinstalled at a new server (probably Google Apps); so please forgive me if you get some auth requests.

Mr. Siegel - it's not an unknown distro! For example I use it on my notebook ;)
