Diablo was finally released for Nokia Internet Tablet, and with it comes IPv6 support. Finally. IPv6 comes as a module, which isn't loaded at start up. Once I became aware of the module, I wrote a small Application manager installable package that loads IPv6 at start up (and when installed).
Use one-click install or download the package manually.
Permalink | Comments (0)Roughly 276,400,000 seconds ago I entered a building I hadn't been in before. In practice, entering this particular building started process which would eventually last nearly nine years. During this process an IBM-PC-compatible computer would replace Amiga as my primary computer, I would get Internet access and start using GNU/Linux. I would meet a very special person and move to another city to get to live with her. We would get engaged, and married. We would get the most wonderful cat in the world, and worry about his problems a lot. I would go through five jobs, and my Chinese co-worker would quickly become one of my two true friends. My other friend would also move here from my old home town. I would see the world, and travel to United Kingdom, Switzerland, United States of America, China and Japan. Eventually, I would spend a year working on hundred pages of text.
Today was the day when this nine year process finally ended. It ended with a piece of paper. I received it, bowed, turned around and simply walked away. I finally had my master's degree in computer science. Realising that I had spent 23 years studying, the past nine years started to feel insignificant. They're not. Every single event during past nine years have helped to shape me the person I am today. It has not always been easy or fun, but I wouldn't change it for anything.

Last night Blackmore's
Night
(Wikipedia)
had concert in Helsinki, Finland. It was my first time
in popular music concert and I have to admit it didn't fully match my
expectations. I had seen live recordings before, and I knew not to
expect perfect audio or perfect performance. The show was great, the
mood was great, and the music was just what I wanted. It's just that
their live performance wasn't that much of an upgrade to
listening to their recordings back home. When it comes to
classical/orchestral music, the difference between live and recording
is much greater. Still, don't get me wrong -- I don't have any regrets
in going there. I had great time.
As for the picture, it's the first picture taken with my new pocket camera, Canon Digital IXUS 950 IS. The picture is taken in dark concert hall from 24th row, and the camera reports distance to the stage to be 20 metres. My guess would have been 25 metres. 1/25 second exposure, ISO 800 equivalent, 4x zoom, camera held in hands, and obviously no flash.
