Personal
Mine
There is a blog (and its archive), a poetry page (also in a blog form). Then, there goes an attempt at self-characterisation: about me and an annotated (and incomplete and else) list of books.
Finally, my university homepage could be interesting, as well as my people.redhat.com corner, but that needs updating, too.
Of friends
Just a few links here (many are obviously missing):
- bart’s blog,
- enrico’s homepage and blog,
- ervin’s page,
- lypanov’s homepage and diary and
- Viliam Ročkai’s page.
My parents are crafters and artisans, you can find some of their products at Dielnička … the page is only in Slovak currently, and they only ship to Czech & Slovak addresses.
My wife, Lucy, is an oboist, and her personal page is to be found here: Lucia Ročkaiová (née Čuláková).
Photos
There is a bunch of galleries in photography now. What’s there still needs to be sorted to remove sub-par photos. Moreover, many are missing. In other words, this is work in progress. Just the progress is very slow. Also, while I like the styling, the software that generates the gallery is teh suck (and very slow), so I can’t be bothered to add more photos or sort the stuff that’s already there properly. (Oh yes, I did write that software. Sucks.) I’ll fix that one of those days.
Projects
Common
Most of the code I work on can be browsed in code repositories (update: these work again).
Many of the C++ projects of mine use libwibble - collected bits of useful C++ code, co-maintained with enrico.
Debian
Then goes Debian - the operating system I use mostly everywhere. I am a DD and currently maintain dzen2 package and should maintain adept and co-maintain libwibble. If I come around an interesting piece of (free) software that is not part of Debian, I will consider it for adoption as well.
Related to Debian (and KDE), there are libept (previously libapt-front) - a sane API for APT and Adept - a KDE package management GUI based on libept.
University
At the university (Faculty of Informatics, Masaryk University in Brno), I am a member of ParaDiSe - the Parallel and Distributed Systems Laboratory. My primary project there is DiVinE - Distributed Verification Environment, although my current work is more centered around shared-memory parallelism.
Work
At Red Hat, I work on ?LVM (Logical Volume Manager) and related tools (mostly device-mapper’s dmeventd).
Inactive
I used to be involved with KDE - the best desktop environment, although I do not use the environment anymore, just Konqueror. I have a semi-sleeping project for KDE though: (Adept, see above).
There used to be a project called ekhis, which had also been known as kalyxo.
