I'll be ot of reach for two weeks, so please don't bother to contact me (not that you would have the need to, anyway...). I'll be camping in Cortina d'Ampezzo so maybe I'll be able to update some tracks for OSM. We'll see, as I haven't been able to buy a decent tracklogger for that :(
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!!!
The book meme is still alive, so once again:
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...
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.
After 3 days of LGM I'm back home. I would like to thank Kamila and Louis for making such a wonderful experience possible, great job! It was really nice to meet also those people I've talked to on IRC for the last few years (I wonder how many of them are dissapointed now :P). Thanks to ``Cube I got the possibility to meet the people responsible for the Tango Project who were wonderful companions for me on the first day in Wrocław.
And now I need some sleep...
...and I'll show you who you are. Or something like that ;)

Yes, I do change directories pretty often and no, my laptop isn't named after a woman!
So, it's that time of the year: LGM is near! If you're into open source and graphics this event is an absolute must. If you have some credits spare, you can support it by clicking 
At last! I've placed the preorder in January and it finally arrived on my desk. It wasn't so easy thanks to the all mighty Polish Post — I had to hunt it around the entire city. It should give me a jumpstart into Qt, because the online docs didn't really work out for me, sadly.
Let's hope it won't interfere with my master thesis ;)
OK, this time it won't be completely free, but hey - it's just £5 at 7digital for the entire album!
Planet PLD will have some downtime today (14.12.2007), I'll have to do the cable work in my room again :/ Sorry for the inconvenience and the late warning, but this had to be done sometime.
Kolejna głupota w polskim wydaniu. Jeśli chcesz coś wykorzystać co zostało udostępnione na licencji CC musisz zapłacić haracz^H^H^H^Hopłatę na rzecz organizacji zbiorowego zarządzania (w skrócie OZZ). W takim razie chcę widzieć pieniążki za to, iż ktoś kiedyś może wykorzystać cokolwiek z mojego bloga – może czas zacząć wysyłać żądania do odpowiednich OZZ o ponoć należne nam pieniądze? W końcu to dla nas istnieją (pun intended)...
I never like to categorize music, because it's just it - music! Everyone has a different taste, and what's for someone post rock for me is just rock or even something more peculiar ;) We should have a different category for each band, because they all have a different sound (I mean proper bands, not the ones you see usually on the telly).
But let's get to the essence of this foolish blog post - this weeks artist is Gina Artworth. It's a nice mix of a wonderful vocal (I think I fell in love... ;> and noisy guitars. Just mmmmmmmm (yeah, I know - it's an intelligent sentence). Sadly it's already some years old (2003) and GOOG doesn't tell much about what is going on with her lately. Maybe you know? Anyway - go on and listen if you haven't already done so.
Sorry, this week's album had to fall out due to me being away from a network connection :/ I promise I'll make up for this with some great music next week!
Jamendo.com has crossed another important point in it's history - over 5000 availible albums to download and listen to — and of course it's all CC licensed!
From now on you can listen to some music I find interesting in my sidebar and it'll change every week, hope you'll enjoy it!
