There are lots of things that Undernet has not thought of. So many areas that could be covered.

Undernet has more then 100.000 users. Okay not all are active, lots of drones and bots, but I'd still say that there are at least, i repeat AT LEAST 10.000 active users. That's only 10%, I'm sure there are more, but still, let's say just 10.000 . What can 10.000 do ? Ouf so many things.

Undernet has a website, currently the remake of the whole website has been announced, I do not know how many people are trying this, but maybe for start ideas could be gathered. Like what kind of ideas ? Let's see.

I'm thinking that the IRCops could give a little bit more info about themselves, maybe some small blogs, or a small part where Undernet IRCops write some things once in a while, would bring the users much closer to them. I'm sure that lots of users are asking who are these guys, are they looking after us on this network. Yes, they are, but no one sais a word about this.

A planet.undernet.org could be done. What is a planet.*? Just check http://planet.ubuntu.com or http://planet.fedoraproject.org/ or http://planet.gnome.org, these are just a few planets I know. Planets are made with the linking of blogs, where people write about one theme. Here it could be Undernet. Those users, ircops, helpers who are writing something about Undernet could be linked on one website, and everyone could read theire writings.

My ideas are scattered, but I'm sure that everyone has ideas. This gathering should be user-com's job, I don't know how much are they doing, or doing anything at all, but there is magic, the head of UUC, who is looking after this committee, and he does make his words heard. Okay, everyone has a life, but you still see the open source projects evolving, they are people who are not getting payed for what they do, they do it out of fun, so why can't Undernet be the same ? Okay it's a chat network, so what ? Gathering the users on it would show that it cares and do wants to build a community. Showing the users what to do, and where. Giving some trust to the unofficial projects that run on the network would be a start. Have a talk with the admins of these projects, give them some trust, assign someone from user-com too look over them, no need to make them user-com projects, but if they are here on Undernet, at least care about them, give them some support to do their jobs.

Just some slight thoughts, I do not intend to start any flaming, I'm just writing what my thoughts are.

So i come to you again, after yesterday writing about the Google HTC, my mind has changed, i don't want the Google HTC phone, forget it.

Small research with my friend G (my friend G = Google), and we've come up to things i never knew off. I'll start with asking if you remember those touchscreen like things in a movie with Tom Cruise, in Mission Impossible 2 ? When he just moves his fingers on a screen, and things move an twirl and everything you can imagine ? That doesn't seem like impossible anymore right ? Well it seems it's not, atleast this is what the Toshiba guys said in Berlin last month.

Okay, so let's see something else. Touchscreen phones. Pffffttt, i can tell you, i've been having a head acke in thinking about what phone to get. We are writing 2008's end, and what do we have on the market now ? Like literally on the market:
iPhone 3g

T-Mobile G1

LG Prada

LG Viewty

And much more I don't even know off. In 2 months time (in my country) there are a couple of phones coming up, like Nokia XpressMusic 5800, aimed for the musicians, for a phone which will cost 269 euros (!!!), it's lighter then the iPhone, but it's thicker. For now, i mean for this minute, this is my choice, since i'd use the phone to listen to music. Nokia has annoucened the touchscreen N series for 2009, so um um ... will these be the iPhone killers?
Original website here.

We have the Samsung Omnia, which lots of people love, and over iPhone lots of the pick this one. It looks great, slick phone, with cool features, but some say that next year Samsung will bring out a phone, which is fit for the internet with Google Apps installed on it (maybe it will have Android on it ??), so headsup for Samsung.
Original website here.

Sony won't backoff the phone market. So as we know Sony is teamed up with Ericsson, everyone knows, what Sony makes, it's awsome, i won't comment on Ericsson. So of course that SonyEricsson will have a touchscreen phone on the market. It's called SonyEricsson XPERIA X1. I didn't read up much on it, but it does look great.
Original website here.

Amongst these i've read that there is coming a Toshiba phone, HP (!!!) phone.

Now that we got to HP, they are doing something new on the laptop market also. In 2010 they will make some touchscreen laptops, erm ... yes, touchscreen laptops. Article about the HP touchscreen here. Hp won't be the only one, the EEE PC hit manufacterer, Asus, will be doing the same, with some EEE PC 7" 8" 9" and 10" versions of the touchscreen laptops. These Asus laptopts will have Windows 7 on them, which was built so it supports touchscreen support. Windows 7 will be available for sale one year from now, right before christmas. What does this Windows 7 know ? Well that's another article, i'm planning to test the Alfa version soon, so maybe i can do a review about it, one word about it, Windows 7 is how Windows Vista should have been.

So in a final conclusion it seems that in 2 years time, new mobiles, laptops and expect new gadgets will be touchscreen like, so you can say bye-bye to the keyboards and mouses, altho i'm sure that gamers will say that a game without a mouse is not a game, it's a typing contest.

Hi everyone. There has been a long time since i didn't post here, so it was about time.

During the last weeks a new phone caught my attention, and it caught it so much, that i've never looked after a phone so much as this one. As title sais, it's about the Google Phone(yes, that's how i call it). If you ready up carefully on it, it may seem as it is a dream, but it's not anymore. Before you jump out of your seat and want to buy one, just stay put, for now only in the USA you can buy this phone, in the following months it will be delivered across the world, but let's just see what does this little phone know.

We will start from the inside out. What is the little heart of this awsome creature ? It's an open source operating system, called Android, and it's developed by Google, so people may call it the Google OS. Android has been such a great hit on the phone market, that all major phone manufacturares announced that they will makes phones, which will have Android on them, so I'd say that next year will be the "Android Year". Anyway, the Google Phone is the 1st which uses the Google OS. This is linux, but it combines Google's online applications with the desktop ones. Like you can run youtube, google maps just a touch away, and of course all comes preconfigured for your phone.
This is Android on iPhone(!!!)

What comes with the Android in the Google Phone ? Well of course a touch screen, which handles the movements of your finger pretty easily, and basicly you can do everything with the touch screen, but when it comes to typing, the G1 has a QWERTY keyboard also, which appears, if you pop up the screen.
On the keyboard you can find a magnifing lense, which is the Search button, so with that button you can search in any application, in youtube, google, google maps, your contacts, your text messages, your IM messages, anywhere.

The dimensions of the Google Phone is: 11.7cm x 5.5 cm x 1.6 cm, which makes it smaller then the iPhone, but it's thicker.

The Phone comes with a 1GB Micro SD Card as far as i know, but maybe it's just an SD CArd. As an info when will this phone be available, i can't give you a straight answer, but for example, in Hungary, it apears next spring, and i'm sure, once it will appear i can't wait to buy one, this Phone is just great, something i've been dreaming about for years now. Finally here is a video demonstration of the HTC Dream G1 T-Mobile Google Phone, so you can see it in action. (One thing, no one talks about how well can you talk on it, or how does the text messages writing work, but I guess we'll find out, for sure i'll post a blog, when i get this Dream Phone! (: )

Halloween is a traditional festival that has been passed on from one generation to another. It's name 'Hallows Eve' comes to mean the night before All Saints Day (1st November). It used to be an ancient religious feast then slowley changed itself through the years.

This feast is associated with costumes of ghosts, skeletons, witches and anything that looks scarey, as well as all sorts of traditional recipe's and games. In some cultures 'Mischief Night' would be to scare off any spirits lurking around the neighbourhood, usually the day before Halloween.

The most common tradition is that of 'Jack-o-Lantern' , or the traditional candle holder made out of a pumpkin or turnip.

There is so much to do on Halloween, but most of all is to enjoy and keep safe

IRC stands for “Internet Relay Chat”. It was originally written by Jarkko Oikarinen (jto@tolsun.oulu.fi) in 1988. Since starting in Finland, it has been used in over 60 countries around the world. It was designed as a replacement for the “talk” program but has become much much more than that. IRC is a multi-user chat system, where people convene on “channels” (a virtual place, usually with a topic of conversation) to talk in groups, or privately. IRC is constantly evolving, so the way things to work one week may not be the way they work the next. Read the MOTD (message of the day) every time you use IRC to keep up on any new happenings or server updates.

IRC gained international fame during the 1991 Persian Gulf War, where updates from around the world came accross the wire, and most irc users who were online at the time gathered on a single channel to hear these reports. IRC had similar uses during the coup against Boris Yeltsin in September 1993, where IRC users from Moscow were giving live reports about the unstable situation.

From that first client today we have the popular mIRC client that we all use, for chating and stuff.
