First anniversary

I just realized that the blog is now one year old! That's something. It was soon after I accidentally selected and deleted every single post of mine from the past year.

I was lucky enough to have every single post cached by Google - even the most recent one from a few hours ago. I unfortunately lost comments on these posts, but other than that I managed to get everything back within an hour or so.

This is a true rant post! The short version is - I better get some sleep. I'm lagging way behind with my work and no sleep is giving me even more extra work. (grumble-grumble)

WP7 takes over Android

At least within our family. :) Being one of the first Hungarian developers to have an app published on the Windows Phone Marketplace I've been awarded an HTC Radar phone by Microsoft Hungary. As soon as the Hungarian Marketplace opened up, I suspect that MS Hungary wanted to see Hungarian developers climb through the obstacles of the publishing process as early and as fast as possible. The Radar was a nice motivation, and the publishing process turned out to be really streamlined and easy to follow.

Cleaning up - my room this time

Yesterday's EC2 snapshot cleanup motivated me to also clean up my workspace. Here is the result. The part that is not all wires and switches. My wife says it still looks like a mess. But of course it's managed chaos. That reminds me.. I need to get back to learning Objective C.

Introduction

Since I'm just starting out on this blog, I believe some introductions are in order. My name is Konrad Kiss, I live in Hungary, Europe with my wife and two mischievous kids.
