Digging in Google Earth I've accidentally got over this image of plane over Lyulin motorway in its section through the mountain just before Malo Buchino. As in a shadow the image is decomposed in the three main colors, which reminds me of a previous similar image published in Internet.

This morning I woke up with a wish in my mind. Last night I was not able to watch The Perseids, because I was in Sofia and the possibility to see something from the small peace of sky, visible from our apartment, was close to zero. Nevertheless, I have two "stars" in my home, one of which is a just born lioness, so I wish the world to be a better place for all of us people around the globe. It

Today I become a father for second time. The experience was unique and unforgettable again. Moreover, this time I was on the front line :-) You could look at the first pictures of our little precious in her album.

For some time, I'm questioning myself whether to continue or discontinue writing in this blog. I almost can't find free time to write and I didn't see the meaning of doing it. Yet I'll wait some more before taking the final decision.

Few days ago I took a glimpse of my buglist at Bugzilla on my home server and I literally dumbfounded. "Only" 18 bugs. I can not understand when they get so much, but lots of work is ongoing. Some of them are pressing and I should finish them till the end of the month, because I'm planing to release new version of SlackPack. Actually one big part of what I have to do is on SlackPack... I'm having

Yesterday I released the updated Bulgarian localization of Bugzilla 2.22.2. Although, that there was only one new sentence for translation I had to update the templates to the last version, so they do not cause problem for those who use the locale. I don't know why, but again the update was late by almost 3 weeks, because again I found out for the new versions late. Although, the I keep an eye on

Few days ago (I think on January 31-st) my daughter Gabriella nicely surprised me by welcoming me home from work walking alone. Thanks to the continuous efforts of his grandmother (my mother) Mariana, which takes care of her currently, she now it touring the whole flat alone and is very hard to stop it :-) Some time ago a friend told me "You can sens how fast the time is going by the children..."

After long delay at least I've released SlackPack - my site for my Slackware packages. The whole site is written in Perl with the use of Template and is like the popular software for bug tracking - Bugzilla. Naturally the idea is quite a lot different - a system for management of Slackware packages and repositories. However, for the moment the system is rather representative, because the

Last Saturday with displeasure I found, that I've forgotten my personal flash memory of 2 GB in the jeans, which my wife have already been finished washing. It had occurred to me too late. I decided, that it can hardly survive after the two hour trundle and wash with strong powders in the washing machine. But, after I dried it for two days I finally found with pleasure that it works perfectly

Today, so as yesterday I released new versions of my calculators - Mortgage calculator and Interest calculator. Yesterday just at St. Nicolas day, absent from the drinked wine I didn't notice that the files of the two applications didn't contain update information about themselves and their versions. So, I had to made new versions in a hurry :-) Both new versions contain small changes. The new

Today I noticed, that I had took 18-th place in the Top Contributors list of linuxpackages.net - 48 packages. This, to some extent makes me happy, because the work on the creation of the packages is not easy, and is expensive. Although the created by me packages are build with scripts, the lack of generalized system for building of packages is still a minus for Slackware. Unfortunately I still

A day and half ago I managed at last to release the updated Bulgarian translations of Bugzilla. For the new 2.22.1 version several things needed to be translated and templates synchronized, because most of the changes were in the code and not in the text. Simultaneously with this I made several improvements of the translation and spell check fixes. For the old versions the only thing that I done

Very, really very much I hate the mail without subject. Many people (even professionals) continue to send mail to anywhere, which doesn't tell me anything at first sight and is getting ordered with all other such messages (I must check if there is a bug in Bugzilla for that). I appeal to anyone sending electronic mail - don't send messages without subject. It is the most essential thing of a

This weekend I again went to swim in the pool of the elementary school next to our house in Dupnitsa. I use the possibility to congratulate the municipality of Dupnitsa for the initiative to restore the pool in which paradoxically I was not able to swim until I was student there, but about 15 years later.

I don't know how many people are now asking themselves this question, but I begin to ask myself more frequently, and others my have found the answer for themselves long ago. I questioned myself yesterday, when the show was in format "Lets talk with Rossen Petrov". The talks was about "the great" show Survivor. I don't know if it is about the man, but I just can't stand Rossen Petrov and his

Today at work we did practice handiwork, again and almost until 8 PM. We had to do a lot of things manually, because they can't be done otherwise - restrictions of the technology. To make man wonder how important is the human factor in the century of the information technologies. While people do things once and then only deliver, we make same thing many times with the purpose of perfection :-)

What could I say, congratulations to the Italians. There were teams that deserved more, but this is the world cup. "World" only to the quarter-finals :-) Lets hope, that the next one will not be so frugally, but on the other side maybe this will be the future of football.

Last friday and saturday I was on WebTech. Again alone, because my friends which wanted to come couldn't, and there were others that didn't show any interest. With satisfaction I can say, that this year there were more interesting for me themes and the lectures were presented more professionally, although the level can be raised even more. I was impressed, that some of the lectours from the last

Yesterday (June 13) at noon I find out, that I have lost documents. Among these documents were the car registration (part II), Civic Responsibility policy + talon, ATE protocol + talon. Immedeately I searched for the documents, But I could not find them. The only place where I could lost them is post station 115, where I posted letters that morning.

After lots of tests of the new translation and clearing some sentances, as well as syntax error fixes in the templates today I'm happy to announce the updated translation of Bugzilla 2.22. This is maybe the most qualitative translation for the moment. I recomend to all of you to update your installations. In the moment I don't think I'll transfer the changes and fixed problmes onto the old (2.18

I'm alone. I left my wife Iva and my daughter Gabriella to stay in Kurdzhali. My brother is on a business trip again. The work is tedious (understand, not that there is now work, but it doesn't give you pleasure) and uninteresting. At the moment I give up my desire of a career not because I didn't believe in myself, but because I can't find kindred souls. People I can trust and they can trust in

This friday and saturday I managed to complete the translation of the new branch of Bugzilla - 2.22, as well as to do the translation of the 2.20.2 version. The packages for the official version I put on the project pages few minutes ago, as well as on my personal ftp sever. I hope the are usefull for someone, because considering the count of the downloads the translation doesn't draw much

Two weeks now as I'm translating Bugzilla 2.22rc1. The tings go slowly, because there are many new files. Since the idea of Bugzilla is full localization, now should be translated things such as edition and creation of products, as well as edition of parameters - things that up until now were only in English. I hope in the following several weeks to manage to finish the translation, so when the

I was able to see it for about a minute and fascinated from the feelings I forgot the take a shot :-) The children and his mother are feeling good and at this moment they are resting in the maternity ward of the "St. Anna" hospital in Mladost (Okravna bolnica).

I haven't mentioned yet but me and my wife are waiting our first baby in mid December. However we have lot of work to do since then to welcome the little man in our home.
