Austrija

Today happened very dumb thing for me: I left my money in ATM. I put my card into ATM, entered the PIN code, selected the amount of money I want to withdraw, then pressed Withdraw, took my bank card and... Well, then I just went out of the bank. On my way back home I understood, that I took my bank card, but I forgot the money. So, I went back to the ATM - there were no money. I thought, that (probably) ATM take my money back. Then I spoke with the officials of bank - they said "no problem". When we'll open ATM, you'll get your money back.

Serialization is the process of converting an object into a sequence of bits so that it can be persisted on a storage medium (such as a file, or a memory buffer) or transmitted across a network connection link.

I have the fallowing situation. I have an object. I need to make a Dictionary, which contains all the properties (and it's values) of the object. Then send this Dictionary over the network.

Some time ago I created my first Makefile. Now I have an Embedded Linux lecture. And the first task is to create a Makefile for the program.

I was in Bratislava on 21st May and tried some Slovakian meals. I stayed alive so I can tell what you can eat in Slovakia :) I tried three things:

• Čepovana kofola. It's like Coca-Cola only different version. It's black drink with boubles and, as for me, it tastes better than Coca-Cola. Atleast - during hot day :]
• Kapustnica s klobasou. Soup of cabbages. It includes water, cabbages and potatoes. As for me it looked spicy, but it's only my opinion.
• Bryndzove halašky so slaninou.  It's boiled rolls of flour (as I understood).

I was browsing the web for information about the binary multiplication (also known as "left-to-right multiplication") in Ellipti curves. I wrote a demonstration of the algorithm. Unfortunately, it's very brief version, but it might be interesting for someone :) This demonstration generates the right point multiplication sequency in binary multiplication of point. First - very short theory. Point multiplication is the operation: Q = k∙P. Point multiplication is the combination of point doubling and point addition.

If you're working with bignum'bers, you'll probalby need to compare those two - are they equal, bigger, smaller etc.

We (I and the members of my project team) are creating a game for our Project work lecture. I'm creating sound system :) I went to FMOD website and took a FMOD Ex package. There were some examples for C# :) If you want to create a sound system with C# and FMOD you need to copy at least fmod.cs file from <FMOD Ex installation directory>\api\csharp. But if you did that, also grab fmod_dsp.cs and fmod_errors.cs. They might be useful latter :) And also include in your project <FMOD Ex installation directory>\api\fmodex.dll. My not finished sound system can play sounds in multiple channels :) Right now I am thinking, should I create a universal sound playing and stopping method (something like Play(string song)), but I'll see :)

Laikinai gyvenu Austrijoje. Vakar gavau LR Prezidento rinkimų biuletenį. Pažymėjau biuletenyje savo balsą, įdėjau į mažą voką, pasirašiau rinkėjo pažymą ir įrašiau datą, mažą voką su rinkėjo pažymėjimu įdėjau į dar didesnį voką, šį į voką su LR Ambasados adresu ir pašto ženklu (toks buvo laiške iš ambasados, tad neteko klijuoti savo), užrašiau savo adresą, nunešiau į pašto dėžutę. Balsas įskaitytas :) Bet aš ne apie tai. Lietuvos naujienas seku tiek, kiek rašo Lietuvos interneto portaluose. Tikrai sunkiai galiu pasakyti, kad vyksta Prezidento rinkimų kompanija.

I am creating a game with the XNA framework and I needed to change the resolution for XNA game. So, that's how it's done: public class MyCoolGame : Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Game // Code... // GraphicsDeviceManager graphics = new GraphicsDeviceManager(this); graphics.PreferredBackBufferWidth = Width; graphics.PreferredBackBufferHeight = Height; graphics.ApplyChanges(); Another very useful property is IsFullScreen - boolean variable, which sets game to full screen or not (do not forget to call graphics.ApplyChanges().).

He/she:

• Has a big backpack (possibly with weird stickers).
• Looks at everything around.
• Turns/spins around very fast (keep in mind that - be careful).
• Uses camera everywhere.
• Tries to take lots of photos.
• Speaks in foreign language.
• Wears a hat with the text "Austria" on it.

So, like me :D

Eini į vakarėlį Austrijoje. Ką pasiimti ar atsinešti? Paprasta viskas. Jeigu per vakarėlį geri alų - atsineši alaus. Jei geri vyną - atsineši vyno. Ir geri savo atsineštą. Labai patogu. Ir man labai patinka :)

I had one problem. My computer's Global Settings are set to the Lithuanians, but now I live in Austria. I need to change the currency of my program from litas (LTL) to euro (EUR). How could I do that? It's very simple: using System.Globalization; // Code... CultureInfo ci = new CultureInfo("de-AT"); // Code... Console.WriteLine(stringWithCurrency.ToString("C", ci)); Happy coding!

Trumpai buvau Italijoje. Tad, keletas įspūdžių iš šios šalies :) Iš mano nedidelio miestuko tiesiai į Italiją niekas nevažiuoja. Tad teko mauti per Linz (kaip visada). Deja, kaip supratau, į Sommerau pusę yra taisomas geležinkelis, tad teko važiuoti autobusu. Iš Linz nuvažiavome (keliavome dviese iš Lietuvos) į Innsbruck'ą. Innsbruck'e buvom po 2h ryto, tad ėjome pasivaikščioti po Innsbruck'ą. Miestas labai gražus, kalnai... Na, daugiau kaip 500 metrų virš jūros lygio. Pasivaikščiojome naktį.
