Floating brain

Sometimes you feel a bit deserted about yourself, like a mindless walking corpse. In such cases I try to focus on creativity, which most of the time bring me back to myself again. You cannot be creative all the time, it's possible for almost all the time :)

I'm glad the Christmas madness is over, cos you spend so much money, throw so much energy and the results is just presents and happiness for small amount of people. What about these other thousands of millions out there? That's what I'm thinkin most, how I can live to help others and still survive as a normal person.

One needs to have time for himself to think about the stuff around. Sometimes it's matter of hours, sometimes days, it never been longer yet. I needed a plan for this year, something to accomplish, far beyond I did before. It's calling, pushing the limit, push it as far as you can.

I decided that is allright for Slovakia to host a OpenOffice.org conference (OOOCON). It will be hard, to hopefully get it approved by the OOO team and finally realize it. I started to make the steps from now on, so I can overlook some fuckups from some nasty Slovaks which are full of shit.

I started to put together around 10 EU country partners for a Framework Programme 7 of the European Commission, and the best is that the government office of Slovakia is willing to participate in such open standards and Free/Libre and Open Source Software projects. It's because of the egovernment and initiatives of the commission like IDABC. For the sake I believe it will be a way different than the Ministry of Finance losers, who are generally incompetent in anything and signing "great" deals with Microsoft.

January is a snail for me, the seed has been planted and I must take care of it until it grow into results. And everybody love the harvesting season, isn't that right? :)
