  • Slovenian IPv6 Summit

    On 12th and 13th of May there was an IPv6 summit in Ljubljana. On the first day I have joined the IPv6 deploy workshop, where two Greek researchers informed us about all the possibilities of IPv6, with good examples written also on slides. On the second day the summit speakers were presenting IPv6 topics and…

  • Photo geotagging

    There is another sweet feature present in Android phones, which is called Geotagging. It is the process of adding geographical identification metadata to various media such as photographs, video, websites…Once the pictures are being taken, it is possible to upload them to Picasa album on Google, which can display the exact location on Google maps.

  • QR Code

    A QR Code is a matrix code (or two-dimensional bar code) created by Japanese corporation Denso-Wave in 1994. The “QR” is derived from “Quick Response”, as the creator intended the code to allow its contents to be decoded at high speed.

  • T-2 mobile plan

    This will be interested for Slovenian readers. Recently I switched the mobile plan from Mobitel to T-2. T-2 has an UMTS data coverage in major Slovenian cities for only 10 EUR/month.

  • Latitude

    I am using a fancy widget from Google, which tells my exact location (of the mobile phone), retrieved over a GPS system and shared through the 3G mobile network. The widget is then displayed on my blog in real-time mode and occasionally updated, when the feature is enabled on the phone. Geeky, eh ?

  • Android

    I purchased Android mobile phone Samsung i5700 Galaxy Spica. It goes back a few years, since I purchased the first GNU Linux capable mobile phones, Motorola A780/Rokr E6, but support for them never managed to get done completelly, due to lack of developers and backwards compatibility with Linux. At some stage the OpenMoko GUI worked…

  • Cisco virgin

    Today I bought a new Cisco Catalyst 2950 managed switch. The initial installation was very easy, through the GUI. The switch was ready to use in an hour, and all computers and devices plugged on it now. I am a Cisco virgin, meaning that I have never worked with Cisco equipment earlier nor IOS. I…

  • gNewSense mirroring

    I am in charge now also for the gNewSesne archive mirror for Balcan states and Middle East countries.

  • Native IPv6 on AMIS

    I was happy to receive a native IPv6 /64 subnet from AMIS today. It is still in the testing phase, this means they aren’t offering it to all customers yet. A native IPv6 connection means, that I can now avoid using IPv6 tunnel brokers and access the world directly over the IPv6 stack.

  • Chris Rea 2010 tour

    Ines & I went to the Chris Rea concert. The show was placed in the small Tivoli hall and many older people attended. They started with Chris’s special guest Paul Casey who is an Irish singer and guitarist, which also plays guitar and sings in Chris’s show. Chris really did his best on the show…
