Comment Arch (Score 1) 5

I like Arch based distros because those people are the ones who provide the KDE help I need when I google issues. :)

I'm running Fedora, have been forever so I doubt I'll change unless something crazy happens but since I don't use the default DE - it seems the Arch folks are always the ones who have my answers. So I appreciate them even if I don't use it.

Comment Hey! (Score 1) 4

Just saw this and thought I'd say hi. I'm in the last few days of a visit to the US. I'm in Phoenix until Wednesday and then I head back to Hungary.

I hope you are doing really well.

Comment Hungarian was a bad choice (Score 1) 100

I am a native English speaker living in Hungary and I can say without reservation that Google Translate is really bad at Hungarian. It can handle individual words ok sometimes but anything beyond that and it falls apart quickly. So even without sound issues, it's not really something you can use for any communication beyond the most basic.

I've still got 80% of a novel I did for nanowrimo that I want to finish and put out there but I never seem to get around to it.

I hope you are doing really well.

Comment Re:Good to see you! (Score 1) 8

We are still here near Budapest and doing well. My oldest graduates this year and will start university in the US next year. My second does the same the following year and our son is 2 behind that - so less than 4 years from now it will be just the 2 of us at home again. At that time we need to leave Hungary at least for 6 months due to tax reasons - so we may just end up going somewhere new. Not sure, it's 4 years away - but unless something unexpected happens we should be here for those 4.

Journal Journal: tumbleweeds 8

Mostly any more I come here because I like the summary I get of Ars from my slashbox that shows it's feed. Kind of funny. I do run down the headlines at least once a day. But I've usually already read a lot about whatever they are over at reddit.

I have a subscription to soylent but it's never really stuck for me.

Comment Slashboxes (Score 1) 5

I've always kept a custom slashbox at the top on the right with a link to writing journals - showing new journal entries by friends, etc.

But there's just not much here any more and I spend lots more time at Reddit. The signal to noise there is way worse than it was here at the dot back in the day - but in the smaller subreddits it can be ok.
