worthy of news

First and foremost, March-break has started! yay for that!

But jokes aside, we will have a Persian New Year celebration next Saturday (I believe)! It is the first day of spring, and it will still be march-break which will make it even more fun! Happy new year to all Iranian readers :)

Also worthy of news, I was introduced to a website last night by a friend of mine. That is StackOverflow. I’m sure a lot of you should be familiar with this site, but I thought it’s worthy of news. It’s a very cool website that people ask and answer questions and it’s community-run which makes it even cooler. You get points to have good answers and all that. Check it out, I subscribed to their ‘python’ tag rss, and since then (one night) I learned a whole lot already!

Now, if you got this far in this post, you deserve a treat :) here are the updated konversation 2 packages, available for both x86_64 and i386, and also as a src.rpm.

Happy 2009

January 1, 2009 at 5:13 am (Uncategorized) ()

I know you’ve probably heard it so many times that you just said to yourself “oh god, please don’t say it!” but I will say it anyway, Happy New Year of 2009. 2008 has been a great year for opensource, the release of three solid distros, Fedora 10, openSUSE 11.1, and Ubuntu 8.04. Congratulations to all of them and I wish them an even better new year (than last year). And I wish that all Linux distros (no matter which one of them) would reach the goal of the world domination.

Apart from everything, this year I got closest than ever to reaching (one of) my dream of contributing to opensource projects. Most of all I would wish to get started with KDE bug squashing sometime very soon (during the current month?).

Also I wanted to thank everyone who has helped me reach (some of) my dreams this year, all the people who have helped me solve my computer-related problems on IRC (special thanks to rdieter, Kevin_Kofler, and MathStuf for their many great helps), on Mailing-list, and I am proud to be part of this great community.

Something tells me I’m just talking about computer stuff, so I will also thank my friends here in PEI, there in my home country, Iran, and my parents, grandparents and eveeeeerybody else!!

Thank you everyone,
Armin
