I met with some Linux friends at Novi Sad
there were people from all over Serbia there.
we had a chat about OpenOffice (that was rather boooring for me) and then we went to have some lunch.
after that we relaxed in a cafe
I traveled with two guys in an old Volvo from Belgrade
Here are the pics 
I didn’t know what was his name, but I knew him very well from the various popular science movies that he’s been in
he’s an American theoretical physicist, a very interesting character, explains things in a simple language
now he’s a professor in theoretical physics at City College of New York, hosts two radio programs, writes books and of course, does movies
you can see some of his work at YouTube (just click the link)
anyway, I think I should mention him because he deserves it
here’s his Wikipedia page
This is good news. KDE is ported to Windows/Mac and the users of those operating systems will become more familiar with it.
Although some people think open source programmers should not waste their time on proprietary OSes such as Windows I still think this is a good thing.
The move was eased by using CMake build system. Also, it helped that Trolltech made Qt libraries GPL for non commercial projects on Windows/Mac.
Read about it here and at the KDE website Windows section.
I like jazz. It’s not my favorite kind of music, it could be. What I like about the jazz is female vocals, they rule.
Today I was listening to a satellite jazz radio station and I heard this song that I never heard before. The problem with this radio station is that it doesn’t spit out anything about the song, so I had only the lyrics I heard to go on.
I thought I heard the words “Waiting the water” so I Googled them and I got no good results. Then I added the word jazz at the end and got somewhere a link to Eva Cassidy lyrics. Now, I knew I was on to something. The song is actually called “Wade in the Water”, lol. And it’s great, you can see it here.
I listen mostly to nujaz, new, electronic jazz, usually mixed with some chill sounds. But jazz gems like these are really special
The thing I really liked about this song is it’s background, just read “About This Video” section on YouTube. It says that this gospel was sung to the slaves to warn them to keep in the water when running for freedom since the dogs couldn’t sniff their scent in the water… Amazing!
I feel everybody should be free to help themselves and their neighbours
