About myself
I'm Dr. Gergő Érdi (Érdi Gergő in the original Hungarian order of surname first), born on 18th November, 1980 in Budapest and living here ever since.
I've finished the Veres Péter High School in 1999, and graduated with an MD at the Semmelweis University of Medicine in 2005. Since 2003, I'm also studying at the CS faculty of Eötvös Loránd University.
I am currently (since 2005) working at Intentional Software.
Geekparty és egy breaking news
17 August 2008 (personal ISC food) (3 comments)Múlt héten, csütörtökre raktuk a lakásavató geekbulit az ISC-s kollegákkal. A terv az volt, hogy spagettit és Guitar Herot tolunk az arcunkba, mindkettőt nagyobb mennyiségben. Végül mindkettő sikerült is.
Elsőre mondjuk gigászi feladatnak tűnt egyedül főzni hat emberre, már csak azért is, mert teljesen ismeretlenek voltak számomra az arányok. Ennek megfelelően sikerült is egy egész kiló pasta-t kifőzni, aminek a fele sem fogyott persze el, ráadásul a visionary leader-ünk hatására a lé, amiben a tészta főtt, viszonylag egyenletesen beterítette a főzőlapot. Viszont mentségére legyen mondva, hogy beszerzőmissziót szervezett az Ikeába, ahonnan feltehetőleg Büdåppest márkájú sajtreszelőt zsákmányolva érkeztek (kiváncsi vagyok, hogy vezethetett Zape, ha azóta se Maya, se Encsé nem nagyon akar beülni mellé).

My software
I hack on the following free software projects in my free time. Most of them is either part of the GNOME project, or is based on the GNOME platform. If you're interested in what I'm doing nowadays, visit my Advogato page. I try to keep it up-to-date, but mostly fail.
Larger projects
- Guikachu: Graphical resource editor for the GNU PalmOS SDK
- When I find the time to do so, I like to contribute to GNOME. Modules I've contributed to include Gnumeric, Evolution, gal, gnome-libs, gnome-terminal, and Bonobo.
Smaller ones
- Goblin: A Python implementation of the board game Gobblet, for Windows and Unix/Linux systems.
- XSLT templates for creating your CV: This page describes in detail a simple way to generate HTML and printable versions of your resume from a single source.
- Smaller GNOME things
- A CipherSaber implementation in QBasic
Old stuff
- ORBit/C++: I worked on making this usable with GNOME 2 and GTKmm for more than a year, before finally giving up. Bowie Owens took over, but the whole thing never really took off.
- RadioActive: A GNOME/GTK+ front-end for radio tuners
- I've sent quite a few patches to Gnomoku, a small game. Since then, I've become the maintainer of it.
- Bonobo Clipboard: This is a moniker-based clipboard supporting both embedding and linking. Accessing it is done via the Bonobo::Clipboard and Bonobo::ClipboardStore interfaces, and the "clipboard:" moniker.
- Bonobomm: This project intended to integrate Bonobo with the GNOMEmm C++ wrapper for GNOME. It's become part of GNOMEmm.
- Bonobo-Media: A set of Bonobo interfaces for multimedia playback
- I've ported GConfmm to GNOME 2 and cleaned it up some in the process.
- Panelmm: a C++ wrapper for developing GNOME 1.x panel applets (see the GTKmm page for details, and information on the GNOME 2 version)
- MAGE Adventure Game Engine
Papers
- Az ásványi csonttömeg és a csontszerkezet radiológiai vizsgálóeljárásai és experimentális, valamint klinikai összefüggései: My thesis at Semmelweis University
- A Relational Model of Programming, an introduction to the system developed by Ákos Fóthi, written for Advogato
- A rant on the state of Free Software in Hungary, posted in a discussion on Advogato about the present and future of Free Software.
- Bonobo: a GNOME CORBA alapú komponens-megoldása Unixokra
- Writing GNOME panel applets
