Netbeans IDE expands its abilities on Ruby too. So far, you can find a lot of information concerning Ruby’s workability at Wiki’s Recent Changes page. For those, who wants to give it a shoot, I’d say it’s worth of trying. Daily changes in the Project Ruby can be found on the official Sun blog of Tor Norbye.

Few notes about Finland conference in Evtek
After staying for 3 years in Cyprus, studying in one of the main institutes of the island, the trip was something i definitely needed. Just to relax from the island, and the environment.
After, almost, half a day flight (since we went to Helsinki through Prague), we got in Finland, and stayed for 15 days in Leppavaara, where Evtek university was placed.
6 universities brought their groups, and after the first day, there appeared 5 international teams with representatives of each country.
Lectures were mainly about ICT Security issues, and network aspects of data protection, which was completely new for me, so I found it quite tough, but challenging enough to start collaborating with team members and learn quickly a lot of new stuff. Some of guys didn’t really want to do anything, because they found it or hard, or boring. But those two weeks of intensive courses were worth it, IMHO!
Finnish were really friendly. There were no problems in communication aspects, since I didn’t find anyone speaking only Finnish. Everybody speaks English, with slight accent, but it was really comprehensible if you compare it with Cypriot English, or Greek English and some other countries.
Hopefully to be continued…
Back to Cyprus from Finland
Truly, there is no place like 127.0.0.1! Right now, I can only present photos from these 2 weeks I’ve spent in Finland. Hopefully, later on I’m going to write a full post concerning that time.
OpenOffice is now at Mac OS X
At the level of MS Office 2007, Microsoft and Apple Inc. , had a huge concern about the integration of Basic platform and macros creation on OS X platforms.
As the result of this problem, OpenOffice started to slightly move on OS X platform trying to recapture the market of this platform.
So far, Sun Microsystems also started to participate in the development process of OpenOffice, so hopefully it will become even better then it is right at the moment.
