I decided to write 2005 timeline to remind what happen in 2005 year.

January

• We were on vacations in Gdańsk. It was cold, I got flu so had to stay at home.. Watched Star Wars Trilogy (DVD version)
• OPIE: patched SysInfo to not show tmpfs mountpoints in Storage tab

February

• Moved to new flat.
• Bought ergonomic Microsoft Natural Keyboard Elite and started using it at work.

March

• Furnished flat.

April

• Bought another ergonomic Microsoft Natural Keyboard Elite (one for home, one for work)
• Started to use wrist brace on my left hand for few weeks.
• Moved homepage to WordPress.
• Richard Jackson donated me Zaurus C760 with some extra stuff.
• Lardman donated me Socket Bluetooth CF card.
• moved OpenZaurus.org website to WordPress (previously it used own system, then Mambo)

May

• My grandmother died…
• We were on vacations in Budziszewo (small village near Poznań).
• Celebrated one year with OpenEmbedded
• StarWars III Episode was released — 00:01 is not best time to be in cinema but it was nice to be one of first who watched this movie in Poland.

June

• I officially became developer in OPIE project.
• [cc]smart donated me Linksys wrt54gs router/AP so I finally was able to use DLink CF WiFi card which I got with Zaurus C760
• Started using OpenWRT distribution on router. I planned to replace it with OpenEmbedded based distro but lack of time…
• OPIE: changed hardcoded fontsize in Checkbook into option.
• OPIE: fixed checking of birthdays and anniversaries in Today.

July

• I got engaged to Ania!
• We were on vacations at my parents in Olecko.
• Bought digital camera: Konica Minolta E500.
• OPIE: Made Security PIN plugin resizable.
• OPIE: Removed hardcoded fontsize from Date/Time prefs, Checkbook graphs.

August

• We (Ania & I) were in Slovakia (Liptovsky Mikulas) on holidays. We visited local caves as weather was not good to go into the mountains (foggy peaks). During those tours I got a flu again in the year.. I bought ‘Da Vinci Code’ book there — it was my first book in English which I read.
• OPIE: usability fixes for Light & Power prefs.

September

• Wrote OPIE Notes (based on NoteZ)
• Stylus which I used in Zaurus C760 fall from table and lost a tip. I had to buy new one — 3in1 from PDAir.
• OPIE: fixed hardcoded fontsize in Date popup selector.
• OPIE: removed hardcoded fontsize from Wellenreiter.

October

• Started work on CompactFlash database — project failed due to lack of time ;(
• OPIE: added option for switching scrollbar into OPIE Console.
• OPIE: added option for configure icon sizes into Appearance prefs.
• OPIE: fixed Button settings to apply changes without restart.
• OPIE: fixed Backup and Restore to show list of backups to restore on start.

November

• Moved bookmarks to del.icio.us service.
• OPIE: made ‘activate’ to be default choice in PCMCIA applet (instead of ‘suspend’) as it is less confusing that way

December

• Got 1G SecureDigital card from greentux — too bad that my main Zaurus cannot use it (nevermind which kernel I use).
• OPIE: made Bluetooth PIN dialog resizable.

HNY… 10 years ago I had Amiga 600 and got ‘Happy New Year 96’ virus with some software. It was simple virii but from time to time I had system crashes which was not there before. I remember how I disassembled it and wrote my first Amiga util.. It was simple ‘antivirus’ app which read infected file and replaced some viri code by jumps to not get it initialized. It was simple, slow, written in Pascal but it worked ;)

Happy New Year for all!

Po długich poszukiwaniach i oczekiwaniu wczoraj dotarło do nas zamówione łóżko. Trzeba przyznać, że 220 cm długości robi swoje — no ale w końcu normy ergonomii mówią, że łóżko powinno być 30 cm dłuższe od osoby nań leżącej.

Teraz muszę się przyzwyczaić do faktu, że nogi mi nie zwisają..

UPDATE: niestety łóżko było wykonane badziewnie więc nadal szukamy — te zwróciliśmy.

After upgrading Wordpress to current nightly I looked on older posts and remind post about getting Zaurus C760. Like teletubbie wrote:

Hmmm, when hrw gets the 760 device mentioned by Richard, then it will mean that it will be harder for me to resist a 7xx device in future, since this would mean really a value add to OZ support on these devices.

I did lot of changes to way how OPIE works on c7x0 (and other hires) devices. Version 1.2.1 (which will be released with OpenZaurus 3.5.4) has many size fixes and there are rumours that 1.2.2 will be released in spring due to my changes ;)

Foxylicious extension was lately updated to Firefox 1.5 so finally I have all my del.icio.us bookmarks integrated with browser.

Yesterday I was in cinema with my girlfriend on ‘Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire’ movie. After previous parts we knew that dubbing has very poor quality so we go for show with subtitles. Hopefully English used in movie was good so I did not have too much problems with understanding (it was hard to read subtitles and follow movie action).

On beginning I feel like watching trailer — so much content was ripped. But they atleast left important parts from book so it was nice movie. As always I tried to watch final titles to the end but there was so many companies which made visual effects that I decided to leave.

Btw — who is ‘best boy’ in movie crew? It always puzzled me.

Today I flashed my USB Bluetooth dongle to newer firmware — it had v134 from 2001 now have v524 from 2003 (nearly newest one). Getting needed data was not quite easy — TDK provided it with older drivers that available ones.

So currently I do not have not-yet-(re)flashed device… flashed mainboards bios, cd/rw, cd, dvd drives, gfx board, palmtops.. my other devices are not flashable.

As you can see I replaced “Links” part of sidebar with my latest bookmarks from del.icio.us service. If you want to check all of them then go my bookmarks.

UPDATE: hmm.. I like it ;) I use del.icio.us because I was tired of keeping one copy of bookmarks at work and other at home. Both were not available when I needed them in other places. Now I have most of them available online in any place and I can share them with others…
