JVA's personal hangout

I just signed the petition against OOXML to become an ISO standard.
Microsoft is trying to make it's own defined OOXML format an ISO standard. OOXML is an Office format.
So what is the deal with this format? and why not make it a standard?

I'll tell you why:

I started blogging in the middle of 2004, i used Blojsom as Blog-engine. However when i had problems with my old web host, i switched to a new one, during this process i moved all static pages of the site, but i have forgotten to move the dynamic pages "blog pages".

This is the very first blog entry in my new blog. It is written for technical reasons, further details about the installation and configuration of the new blog will follow-up, stay tuned, but until then wish me luck.

I'm having terrible problems with my jsp engine running this blog, having problems are the normal situation but what's causing the disaster is having two many problems together, like moving the office which leads to ADSL internet connection interruption plus having too many paper work to do besides the ordinay work. All this together is a killing-combination. The result was that the blog was out of service for couple of days, now it's back but some features are missing, hope it doesn't make any problems in the comming days until i can look into the causes.

A while ago i did a Toefl exam and now i got the results, i got 617 out of 677 ant the TWE (Test of Written English) 4.0 out of 6.0. Not as much as i expected but good enough. LOL

I got TOEFL exam on Friday, 10-th of March 2006, which is exactly three days from today.

I registered online a month ago, but i haven't prepared anything until today. I just did a sample test, it wasn't bad, but i'm not satisfied by any means, but hey, this is my first try beside i did the exam in my office in the presence of many people whose chattering caused me inconvenience and made me lose some marks in "Listening".

Wish me luck.

Inkscape, is a excellent, free software, vector graphics editor, for those how don't know what the term "vector graphics" mean, check out what Wikipedia says about Vector Graphics

Ah yah, guess what, Inkscape is heavily used in another free project, Open Clip Art Library which aims as quoted from the site itselt to "create an archive of clip art that can be used for free for any use."

In posts i always mention "My Laptop", i always wanted to make those words a link to a page showing my laptop, describing it's features, So here it is.

Compaq Evo N1020v

Specifications: out-of my mind: Intel Pentium 4, 2.4GHz, 512MB DDR, 15" TFT LCD, DVD Combo

P.S: This post is a place holder, i'll change the contents later, and I'll put some pictures of it later, so come back later to see the modifications and pictures here.

I was just checking-out my blog when i discovered that i have no posts in the category "Free Software", well that's a shame, i thought, what can i post, the very first thing that came to mind is Inkscape.

Now i can rest.

Wow, four post on raw, this is a new blogging record for me, and guess what! this is the fifth. I must be awarded for my efforts. I'll contact my site webmaster in this regard.
