Life
  • Spent the better half of the day on a rowing tour with toma, Mhp and Mw3 (#linux.hu residents). It was a lot of fun so we decided to do this again some time. Afterwards, we had a drink and the bartender girl has something Japanese written on her top but I was not able to read it because my katakana skills are even worse than my hiragana skills, so this bothered me slightly.

Anime

  • Noir continues to kick butt at the second episode, but not as much as the pilot did. Maybe I should finish with the other series I've started watching before jumping to new ones.
  • Someone on #gnome who I've never met before was generious enough to send me the first two episodes of Neon Genesis Evangelion in superb quality. In fact, it makes me want to watch the whole series again. I just wish I could get The End of Evangelion in such quality... oh well, better wait until I get a real DVD player.
  • I've come across Waita Uziga's page on the Web. This is some really disturbing content (snuff hentai, basically), even after my two years of medical studies. Some of the non-violent pictures like the bikini girl do have some decadent, sick beauty, but the violent ones are just that -- violent. Don't go to this site.

Open source

  • While waiting for suggestions on fixing my GNOME 2 setup to make monikers work, I decided to just wander around and hack randomly on stuff. This led to a clean-up of BonoboGenericFactory, which was supposed to happen a long time ago but was somehow made worse in the port to GNOME 2.
  • Mailed andersca to ask him to post his GnomeAbout API ASAP.
