Back here

I'm back for blogging. I installed Drivel software from the repository of Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy. This is very nice program, where I can access Blogger. There are also many other Blogging sites supported.

I'm doing quite nice. I need to finish my website updating. There is going to be a new platform, which I'm creating. The platform will support different languages.

I try write later too, so I hope this isn't my last blog post in here ;)

EDIT: Drivel can't write titles and I didn't get Blogger2 working with a small try.

Now I have own company

I just registered own company. It is WebDesign Sami Saada. The company offers different kind of web solutions for other companies, communities and for personnels. This has been my dream for many years. Now I have merged my hobby and job. This is like dream job. I also continue working in Lohjan Liikuntakeskus Oy. I need to make some deals with insurance companies. I'm designing poster and some advertisements. My company officially starts in 1^st March, but I can make business right now.

I need to find a flat in Helsinki and I want to have it close the Kumpula campus. I have time to search that, but they are so rare. But first I need to confirm my place in University. My lives goes fine, but I'm a bit lonely. Maybe that will be fixed later.

I was a teacher

My old math teacher was sick on last week, so I was teaching her class. I taugh math and physics. I got most of my memory back to work. I even learned some subjects better than by own classes. Thermodynamic wasn't my best area in physics, but now I remember the most importat formulas of thermodynamic.

I also saw a hillarious video in Youtube. It was about Southpark guys playing WoW. It was a full episode, but it seems that the video isn't available anymore. However there are many short clips from it.

I might start own company, but I don't know the time when to do that. I need to think what kind of logo I make and check the business idea, which products I produce and through that I might need to re-think the name too.

Open Source on my Mind

Yesterday I was translating one open source project called IEs4Linux. It provides Internet Explorer for Linux, which is very handy for me and other web designers. I think that I'm the only Finnish translator of IEs4Linux in these days, so my “works” can be seen in Category:Fi. It is a big pleasure to do something for open source. I start by translating and one day I start to code for them. I might even start an own project. If some of you got interested in that, just inform me and we can plan together. I try to be open mind and use open source as much as possible. People should use open software more than they use now. Some of you might already used one or more open source softwares. Some of you have had troubles with them. Most important thing in the situation like that is to inform the developers. Feedback is very important for developers to make them softwares better.

I had such a wonderful day. Like I told I helped with one open source project, but I met some of my friends. We went out and had some valuable time together. We talked what is going on. We also rented a movie, which wasn't an ordinary movie, but I liked it. I hope that my friends also liked it. I tried to publish this article on 27th day, but I watched Clint Eastwood's movie Space Cowboys. I must go soon to sleep, so this is what I write tonight. I'm sorry that I didn't stay on original plan, which was that I would write on every evening. You can see on Atom feed, when I have new articles. Use that feature, it is very handy.

I have done some work today

I have done some work today like two feedback forms, one for Lohjan Liikuntakeskus Oy and another one for Neidonkeidas. Neidonkeidas is very good modern swim hall in Lohja, it is owned by Lohjan Liikuntakeskus Oy.

I also watched videos in You Tube. I found awesome videos about Xgl and Beryl. Some of you might annoy, when I mention them in every blog. I'm not trying to make you jealous by talking about them and how I get the system working and some of you might have troubles with them. I'm not a mean person, but this subject is now very close of me. So get use to it. I think I have now them well configured, so I have no need to talk them anymore. Now more about You Tube. I have planned to make some own videos with my family video cam, so let the time show if I get something done. I also might need some help with my projects, so if you live near me and want to help me, I'll be pleased.

I might to redo my website. It is not so geeky as it should be. I also need to get some projects finished. Java is one think that I need to learn. I heard that Java is teaching language in the University of Helsinki. I will write more in tomorrow. Comment me, please.

More about Beryl and something about You Tube

Finally I installed Xgl/Beryl on my laptop. Beryl Project provides older version to Dapper than Edgy due the restrictions in basic packages. In the older of Beryl are not so much options to configure. I can't configure my laptop looking so awesome like my PC. I though that my laptop wont run Beryl, but it runs very smooth. It is nice to do some work with it. I also discovered that I can't watch videos with Xgl, because the quality will suffer. I just start bare Gnome, when want to watch them. Not a big deal, but I hope that it will be fixed later for Linux sake.


I found funny videos from You Tube. HQWolf - Real life Enemy Territory is very funny for ET players. I also found one video about using of Beryl. It is very nice configured and beautiful too. Today I nearly forgot to write on blog and Blogspot was down with Blogger. I hope that my life will become more excite so I have more different kind of subject which to write.

Outdoor Sport

Today I was “skating”. I don't have skates on my own and my knee wouldn't take the pressure, so I “skate” with my shoes. I played ice hockey with my siblings and their friends. It was nice and refreshing. I hadn't spent so much time on my computer today than usually. I got my important files safe to my PC. I also found new effects from beryl. I just need to back up files from my laptop and install same desktop on it.
