O tom, čo študujem, aké mám záľuby, čo ma zaujíma, a taktiež niečo o tomto webe..
Moje meno je Matej Kovaľ (matto). Vyštudoval som na Technickej Univerzity, Košice, odbor - Výpočtová technika a informatika (VTI), Informačné systémy a technológie. Bola to veľmi náročná škola, no som rád že sa mi podarilo splniť to, čo som dávno chcel - venovať sa počítačom.
Niečo o záujmoch...
Keďže som ešte stále študent, treba občas nejakú aktivitu na prečistenie hlavy a prekrvenie mozgu :) Mám rád plávanie, voleyball, lyžovanie a samozrejme počúvanie dobrej hudby typu Pearl Jam, R.E.M., U2, no aj Faith No More, Led Zeppelin,
Košice
Áno, toto je mesto, kde trávim vačšinu svojho času :) Jedným z mojich záujmov sú počítače. Uspesne som dokoncil studium na Gymnaziu D.Tatarku v Poprade, odbor Programovanie. Pocitace ma zaujali este v rannom veku (okolo 1990) ked som vlastnil Didaktik M - (klon ZX spectra). Zazil som tu pravu atmosferu rozvoja pocitacov .. 5 a viac minut nahravat programy z magnetofonovej pasky, pričom sa veľmi často objavovala hláška R Tape Loading Error ;)) Na didaktiku vznikli moje prve programy - islo predovsetkym o BASIC, ktory mi dal zaklady programovania. Odoberal som casopisy ako BIT, FIFO a pod. co boli v tom case moje pocitacove biblie ;) Nasledne prisla stredna skola a s nou programovanie v Pascale, tvorba numerickych metod, prace s maticami a podobne. Okrem pascalu som sa zaujimal aj o ine programovacie jazyky. Islo hlavne o Internet - klasicke HTML a moja prva stranka. Neskor pribudol zaujem o jazyk C++ a JavaScript pre obsluhu HTML. Velmi mi v tej dobe pomahal casopis PC REVUE. Kde som sa naucil pouzivanie roznych sietovych sluzieb a zaujimavosti o Linuxe. Doteraz v nom vychadza tento serial, za ktory by som sa chcel podakovat J. Bednarovi, P. Paluchovi a spol. prostrednictvom ktorych som sa dostal k tomuto operacnemu systemu. Prvykrat som si ho (RH 5.1) naistaloval cez prazniny-1999. Odvtedy Linux stale dokonalejsie "spoznavam". Momenálne mám distribúciu Debian. Rok 1998 bol rokom BOOMu Delphi, ako vyvojoveho prostriedku pre bezneho pouzivatela. Ale ak mam pravdu povedat, DELPHI na mna velmi nezaposobilo. To uz radsej Borland C++ Builder. Potom prisiel zaujem o 3D grafiku. Najprv to bolo 3DStudio, 3DStudioMAX, neskor Truespace, Lightwave, ale to bolo coraz viac citit nedostaky mojej "masiny". Ale aj tak, ku 3D grafike mam hlboky vztah.
Neskor som potreboval nastroj, ktory da dynamickost mojim strankam. Chcel som mat vlastnevytvorenu knihu navstev, hlasovanie, a podobne veci, ktore ciste HTML len tazko umoznovalo. Jazyk, ktory mi toto poskytol bolo PHP! Pouzivam ho dodnes a javi sa mi ako velmi efektivny scriptovaci jazyk. Ako server som pouzival Apache, ale pre win9x, co nebola velka slava. No najefektivnejsia alternativa je spojenie PHP s databazami, konktretne by som spomenul MySQL. Ale to uz som radsej presedlal na Linux, kde to islo ovela lepsie a rychlejsie Zacal som sa prepracovavat od jednoduchych projektov az po zlozitejsie. Neskor platformovo nezavisla Java - naprogramoval som zopar jednoduchych appletov, napr. aj LabJrynth v spolupraci s mojim bratrancom. Ako som uz spominal, LINUX je mojou srdcovou zalezitostou, a snazim sa o jeho propagovanie a rozsirovanie. Dôkazom toho je aj samostatná kategória, v ktorej verím že budete nachádzať stále zaujímavé veci.
Co sa tyka hudby - rad mam predovsetkym rockovu hudbu, predovsetkym kapely ako R.E.M. (moja srdcova zalezitost), irsku kapelu U2, spevaka Stinga, legendarny Pink Floyd s ich psychedelickymi songmi, The Queen, Cranberries, Guns'n'Roses, Aerosmith, Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones. Obcas si pocuvnem aj nieco punk-ovejsie ako GreenDay ci Horkyze Slize ;)) Casto na hrame na gitare songy prave tychto kapiel ;) spolu s kamosom Dusanom
Neviem co by som tu napisal sam o sebe a svojej povahe. To by mohli pisat skor ini ;) Ako kazdy clovek, rozculuje ma ludska hlupost, vystatovacnost, a priam neznasam ludi co si o sebe vela myslia hoci na to vobec nemaju, pretvarku a skrytu nenavist. Naopak, mam rad ludi priatelskych co nedokazu cloveka podrazit a pomoct mu ked je v nudzi. Co sa tyka travenia svojho volneho casu, hoci ho mam dost malo, sa rad lyzujem (pravdaze v zime ;)) ) pripadne idem s kamosmi niekam von. Dost casu vsak obetujem svojmu pocitacu, no aj ten sa snazim vyuzit nejako pozitivne - ci uz ide o programovanie, linux, grafiku alebo dotvaranie vlastnej stranky (vsakze ;)) )
Som rad ze som sa narodil, tam kde som sa narodil ;) Miesto kde byvam sa nazyva Vysne Ruzbachy. Je to kupelne mestecko. Liecia sa tu hlavne nervove choroby. Ludia tu radi chodia hlavne relaxovat, pretoze poskytuju ticho, priemnu atmostferu a mnozstvo liecivych pramenov. Je tu skratka velmi pekne. Vsak pridte a posudte sami ;))) Pocas letnej sezony tu prichazaju ludia hlavne kvoli nasmu "kupalisku" s termalnou mineralnou vodou. Nachadza sa tu aj prirodny vapencovy utvar zvany "krater". Poskytuje tiez skvelu prilezitost na kupanie. Viac informacii o Vysnych Ruzbachoch tu
V zime tu chodia turisti hlavne kvoli skvelym lyziarskym podmienkam. Vzdy je tu "plno" lyzovaniachtivych madarov, poliakov a inych exotov ;) Ja som osobne tomu velmi rad, no nie vtedy, ak stojim v rade na vlek kvoli nim dvadsat minut ;))) Hudba, ktoru pocuvam Medzi klasiku, ktora patri uz dlhsiu dobu do mojho archivu patria skupiny:
R.E.M.
(od nich samozrejme aj moj nick) Klasicka otazka, ktoru sa ma spyta clovek, ktory ma R.E.M. taktiez rad - "Aky album je tvoj najoblubenejsi?". Na tuto otazku sa strasne zle odpoveda, pretoze nemozem povedat, ze by som mal nejaky naj a nejaky, ktory zatracujem uplne. Avsak z asi najzaujimavejsie albumy su Out of Time, Automatic For The People, Up, no aj novsi - Reveal. Almumy vsetky nemam. A zhanam skor starsie veci. Takze, ked niekto ma stare albumy ako napr. Murmur, etc. ozvite sa plz. mozme sa nejak dohodnut.
Pink Floyd
Taak, toto je klasika, na ktoru nedam dopustit ;) Zacalo to asi albumom The Wall ktory je naozaj genialny - odporucam vypocut! Je to naozaj zazitok. Neskor Dark Side of the Moon, Momentary Lapse of Reason ale vyborny je aj napr. Watersov The Final Cut
U2
Tiez skupina, ktora je mojou srdcovou zalezitostou. Nebudem sa tu o nej prilis rozpisovat, lebo U2 pozna zrejme kazdy. Z albumov odporucam hlavne Rattle and Hum, netradicny Pop, ale aj napr. Zooropa
Dalsie skupiny
Peter Gabriel, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Bruce Springsteen, ale aj napr. slovenske Horkyze Slize ;)
Registration required
I know that people don't like registering on websites, but I had to
do it. From this moment you have to register first, before you
download any file. This is better, because this way I can give you
quick info about new version of downloadable files (eg. MathGuard)
or some necessary security fixes. Thanks for understanding.
