Today was all about remembering something from past. We used to rest in Ukrainka for several years ago, and today we’re riding our bike’s to Ukrainka again. Weather was strange a sort, so we’re both got burnt and got wet. Nevertheless, the things go worse and worse — rapid growth of car amount in Kyiv destroyed last “white areas” of maps. Places, where we could definitely be lonely with nature two years ago, now turns in car parking on weekends. Sad. The one and only way is building own country house. I’m in process.

That’s for those, who are strictly tied to console. http://goosh.org. Looks like real shell, but searches. Really.

It’s simple — working on Google AJAX API, in browser. I suppose soon we could see true #/bin/goosh console for GNU )) Perfect thing, nothing to say.

In Kyiv: so, we’ve got our luggage and drove to Boryspil airport. After 1,5 hours spent in 4 queues, we finally got aboard. Nothing interesting as for the flight, the only thing to mention is Moldavian Rugby Team flying with us to Tbilisi. Tough guys, with iPhones. A bit strange. Read the rest of this entry »

This howto is about making QT4 fonts look like default GTK fonts in Gnome. This example about Ubuntu GNU/Linux, but should work on all Gnome systems. Saying simple, some applications (like Skype, Last.fm and others) looks a bit different (mmm… say ugly) under Gnome. That usually happens because these apps are using QT, and QT doesn’t know about your Gnome font settings — both engines store their own settings, and “hinting” (method, that makes fonts look great) method is different. But, fixing is simple. Read the rest of this entry »

BarCamp Caucasus has finished. Lots of new emotions, and new experience — open-air format made it not usual as not usual can be. Nevertheless, BarCamp Caucasus was great. Thanks to organization team — Misho & Giga.

Now we are in Tbilisian cafe on Kura bank, having latte and using wifi. We have 4-5 hours before plane, so going to make some shots of ancient and modern Tbilisi.

P.S. Photos from BarCamp coming soon… You’d better catch the RSS.

I’m going to BarCamp Caucasus 2008. To present myself and see others. To speak about W/2.0 — going to have a session about how to create high-load ready projects — scalable and reliable. By the way, going to drink Borzhomi, eat shashlyk and shoot Caucasus Mountains.

BarCamp staff promises WiFi coverage, so I will try share fresh photos and unconference openions. Tomorrow we (with Woofer) take off from Kyiv, and on Monday evening land back. Wish us happy two 2,5h flights )

So, I have installed both Windows and Linux on my Desktop. Can’t believe? See the screenshot. It’s not fake, it works really. And it really helps me with development. We do development on Linux, and we can test webapps both on Linux and Windows, on the same desktop.

So, the question is “How??”. That’s all because of VirtualBox’s (completely GNU virtual machine) feature, that can show guest machine windows on host machine desktop. Easy, heh. Great idea. But we still want to benchmark Adobe Creative Studio 3 on that box :)

I go to BarCamp Baltics 2008, the uncoference of Web/2 etc. We’ve just pass all documents for Schengen visa, and waiting for positive response (30 jan). Yaw!

It became much warmer outside — about 0°C — in comparison to beginning of the week (-15°C). And with all this warm became well-known feeling of spring arrival — so, for almost 6 years Spring has been the synonym of Crimea for me. And, for just a moment, I’ve felt the touch of warm wind — like that, Crimean wind; and this wind woke up feelings of staying on the top of mountain, feelings of warm spring sunshine and small pieces of snow…

I think it should be great to visit at 8th March one of old well-known mountains…
