For two weeks I was on #vacation and I tried to stay away from #socialmedia as much as possible. Most of the time I was #hiking. This was my first trip, a bit north of Budapest, next to the Danube.

I'm back from a longer #vacation. I try to read through two weeks worth of #email / #chat / #socialmedia, but if you have anything urgent related to #syslog_ng or anything else, it's probably best if you send it to me again :-)

Version 16.0 of #openSUSE Leap will be released tomorrow. So, I was very happy to find an openSUSE conference t-shirt on the top of the heap this morning :-) It will include #syslog_ng 4.9 with all important fixes backported.

T-shirt of the day: #Blogger :-) I got this #tshirt about 15 years ago, when my first post appeared on the company #blog. Ever since I contribute about #opensource, mostly #syslog_ng, to various company blogs. I keep track of them at peter.czanik.hu/other/

A bit of #nostalgia: two notebooks from right before #COVID. I collected these while at #RSAConference in 2020. A week later everything was shut down.

Good morning! We had the last sunny weekend of the #autumn, so I was #hiking at the top of Hungary, in the Mátra mountains. How did you spend your weekend?

Silence is over, I'm back from sick leave. Strict diet is also over, so I'm eating a specialty #bread from a local bakery, while reading through #syslog_ng chat, e-mail, #GitHub, etc. If you have any urgent syslog-ng problems or success stories to share, I'm here again.

I'm back from #vacation, and ready to help you with your #syslog_ng / #LogManagement questions again.
I took this photo on my trip: #HPC. Some of the most enthusiastic syslog-ng users are in high-performance computing, but here it was an abbreviation for a hospital complex :-)

Recently I ordered the #bluray version of #PinkFloyd The #Wall. When I opened the package, I was surprised to find a bonus disk. They could be pretty sure that it's not in my collection: an #opera #DVD :-)

Is there a #chef or #museologist among my followers? I use some #curry powder with almost all food I eat. I mentioned my parents that I plan to buy some, and they gave me a box. Made in #Czechoslovakia in 1986.

- does it have a #historical value?

Last weekend we had a #teambuilding event next to lake #Balaton. Contrary to all forecasts, we had a beautiful weather. There were also #programmers with, so a #rubberduck was also enjoying the view :-)

My laptop finally looks better: #stickers :-) I already had a #FreeBSD sticker from FOSDEM, and now I got new syslog-ng stickers in the office and #openSUSE stickers at the openSUSE #conference last week.

I'm in Nürnberg for the annual #openSUSE conference. Wearing my favorite #syslog_ng t-shirt I collected a nice badge and some swag. My #LogManagement talk is in the afternoon, but as usual, I'm also here to listen and network :-) I'm ready to answer your #logging questions!

I must admit, I'm too lazy for #alttext. In the majority of cases it does not add any useful information. Some software enforce the use of ALT text, and even have defaults, if the user is lazy. Not always useful :-)

It seems that the #dog #poop problem is not limited to #Budapest. However, other Hungarian cities have nicer warnings. I spotted these in #Szentendre :-)

#Hiking trails were completely useless this weekend due to days of rainfall. No problem: #Budapest is large and nice enough for a 20+ km #walk ;-)

Finally... #Spring is here, with all of its beautiful #flowers. It's time to leave the (home)office more often and visit nature for some fresh air (and #photography :-) ).
