System Administrator Appreciation Day!
July 30th, 20101000 miles on motorcycle/27 years old/30 posts
July 28th, 2009Today I’ve reached 1000 miles on my motorbike (about 1600km). I have bikes since two months. And I already had one big tour, to home in Elbląg and back. That was about 660km. First 300km was without single cloud, sunny, just great weather. But coming back was worse. I had visited my family in another city, so I’ve taken longer road. And then almost all the time it was raining… But yours truly had returned safely.
I had couple of adventures with motor, but I like riding on it. ;-) It’s great to avoid traffic jams (which becomes worse lately due to road works). And it’s great way of moving. ;-) Some pictures of my bike (photos was taken fresh from returning home): http://morr.pl/pics/moto/
Since last tuesday I’m 27 years old. I saw that picture couple days before my birthday, and I thought it is perfect for that day: http://images.ucomics.com/comics/ga/2005/ga050614.gif. Many years are behind me, but many more are ahead!
And I see that this will be 30th post. Since I’ve using blog since January 2007, that will be almost 1 post/month. :-) I’ll try posting more frequently, but I’m not promising anything.
So, good night to all of you…
UPDATE1: I forgot to mention what motocycle it is. It’s Yamaha XJ600N.
UPDATE2: I’ve upgraded wordpress to newest stable version, added Twitter Tools and changed skin, as you can see. ;-)
Android G1
April 17th, 2009(Long time no post…)
I have since couple of days HTC Dream called T-Mobile G1 (in Poland Era G1). It is nice phone for people, who wants to be always online. My first application, which I’ve installed, was ConnectBot, ssh client. Now I can connect to my home host from every location which is in range of Era’s network. I was using it during my trip to hometown on holiday. It’s working very nice. I can browse WWW, check email and gmail account, use google reader and google docs, happens to update firmware over the air too.
I’ve synced contacts with Gmail, setup my IMAP account and installed couple of applications. One of great app is dgMoney to keep expenses and incomings. Another app is Astrid – TODO/Tasks app. It allows to use tags on tasks and synchronize with http://www.rememberthemilk.com/ service. I have Twiteroid too, so I can watch and post to Twitter. OI Safe is used to keep my passwords and logins… safe. And of course there is Doom! Little sluggish, but it can be played. One app, which is missing now is good PDF reader. There are some applications, but they don’t work good.
One of things, which isn’t good is battery. It allows for day of working when it was only syncing with gmail and everything. Less, if you happen to use it more than calling and browsing WWW. But I guess that is price of being online whole time. Another bad thing is not supporting yet WPA2 Enterprise. But I’ve read that if I get root on phone, I can setup wpa_supplicant easily and WPA2 will work. But since that requires downgrading of firmware, which then can be upgraded with root enabled, I haven’t done it yet. I’ll play with locked phone for a while longer. ;-)
This is pic of my Era G1 (yes, it’s my cat on wallpaper :-)).
PS: I’ve become godfather of my sister’s son during holiday. I’ve held him in my arms for a while. He is very sweet. :-)
Twitting

Anniversaries
January 22nd, 2009Today is anniversary of my blog. It is two years and 25 posts (including this). Not so many posts after that time. ;-)
This year there are more anniversaries: 10 years of me as Morr, 150 years of Ludwik Zamenhof birth – creator of Esperanto language, which I learn from time to time…
The older I am, the faster time flies. It was long ten years. I’ve met many people, have lost contact with a few, learn a few things, teach some people a few tricks. Lost some people, which was close to me. Came from Windows to Linux, then NetBSD. Changed place of living, work couple of times. Now it’s more or less stable. Well, that was good 10 years, but there are more to come! :-)
UPDATE: Just yesterday I’ve become an uncle – my sister have given birth to a boy :-)
One year…
November 5th, 2008It’s been one year, since my cat comes to me from my friend. And since I don’t know when she was born or how old is she, I’ve set this day as her birthday. Vet tells me couple of months ago she was about 3 years. So – she is now 4 years old. Live long! I should make cake with fish or something. ;-)
I’ll post some photos later.
