Image via Wikipedia I am a big SecondLife fan. Well, lets rephrase that. There are a lot of things I like about SecondLife, but not really sure where they are heading now. So with all the changes in the official Linden Secondlife, a friend of mine started to look at the OpenSim and the OSGrid,…

The Richard Stallman event
This Friday I had been invited by a friend to an event where Richard Stallman gave a one hour long speech. After that we – the friend and me, not Stallman :) – had a meeting to discuss the project, so it was a sort of warm up. Of course I agreed to the paln,…
When security hijacks your netbook
Today I had a rather annoying experience with my netbook – or rather some of the software that shipped with my netbook. These days if I have to go to some office, to the townhall, or to talk with someone about job related stuff, or anything where I may need to write some document, or…
Dreams of the cheaper font
Fonts. Typeset. Typography. In the last few weeks I was working on a new layout and design for the main page of my site so every part will look similar. When I finally showed the head logo of the main page (heszroland.hu) to a friend he instantly critized the font set I used – distance…

Cloud computing in a bunker

Some tips on working with a self-hosted WordPress blog
Joanna Young moved from Typepad to a self-hosted WordPress blog, and wrote a manual on how to do it. That’s a pretty good write up, if you are planning something like this, moving to self-hosted blog, I say you go and read it. She naturally ran into some problems, and noted those too. As I…
Cloud computing brings us rain
So cloud computing. Moving on the web, who needs desktop application, lets head back to the golden age, when a server was a server, and a terminal was a terminal. I don’t know, I’ve never been the fan of the put everything in the browser and “fly me to the clouds” movement, for several reasons….
People 2.0
A long, long time ago the telephone was invented. The actual person is a bit hazy, Innocenzo Manzetti, Antonio Meucci, Johann Philipp Reis, Elisha Gray, Alexander Graham Bell, and Thomas Edison, among others, have all been credited with pioneer work on the telephone. Then Tivadar Puskás ((I asked on Twitter what the world ‘Hallo’means. According…
