I have just updates bits of my homepage to successfully pass W3C Markup Validation. I moved to on-click variation for target=”_blank”, which is apparently not proper HTML:

onclick="target='_blank'"

Unfortunately, a script added by my host in the end of pages on the site won’t let me have no errors at all… Now back to JSF programming

Ah, I sacrificed my running time to play with CSS resetting on this site. I think, it has improved the way this site looks like, a couple of issues with design are still present but they are fixable. I hope I will still make for it a short run before everything gets frozen

I did a homepage for a small consulting company from Finland called Teletoimisto. It’s a visit card for the company that serves a role of a place to get information about the company.

I took a self-study course of Qt language of programming this year and I felt in love with it. I’ve finished the course just recently and this small draft for a game was my final project, that’s why the program is called that way. My imagination did not allow me to come up with something more suitable for some reason… So it’s just a prototype and I hope I will find time to work further on it and make something playable. Me and my friend are now thinking about doing something for multiplayer based on this program.

P.S. Such a shame that Nokia abandoned this technology

I made a client for the “wevote” project in a cooperation with my classmate from the University of Applied Science of Mikkeli Viktor Ekimov. It is a Mobile Voting System, which allows providing voting among multiple users using mobile phone SMS technology and publishing the outcome to the web-server.

In order to get system work you need:

• GSM modem and driver for it
• JDK 6 or latest
• WeVote program
