I think it’s time to renew and breath new life into our Freemedia Project, and this can be an good opportunity to help out our users, who are unavailable to obtain one of our media. Here at Hungary there are some people also, who has only a limited bandwith mobile access for the internet, so I have decided to help out FrancisoD – and made the hungarian version of the Freemedia Mailer template, and offered the testing if necessary….

Oh, you don’t know what is the Freemedia mailer template? Well, basically this is nothing more than an software and an printable envelope, that could protect an disc, and you are able to send with it (y)our media without any further packaging. The software [1] is targeted to fill out the template with your FAS data automagically (yes, similarly as our business card applet), and finishes with an ready to print template. FranciscoD has already made huge steps ahead with the software that creates this template [2], and the initial form looks awesome (that also proofs that we have awesome designers, thx design team!). Btw – I printed out samples, and it fits amazingly – even with sleeve. Take a look over here:

After I’m an translator – I would like to take the task to get more translation for this template, and merge it – it really everybody deserves to have one Fedora disc nearby – and the ambassadors will get one more tool to support our users out there. There are not much to translate, and takes only 10 minutes, but it makes already easier to make versatile tests, and support more of our users. So, if you want to support us – please look for me, and I will return to you the text parts that need to be translated.

The cuckoo-clock

Here is an little story that a friend of mine has told me lately….

One of the evening we have decided to meet and launch an party with friends. I promised my wife that point I’ll be home at midnight. But the party went too good, and too far. Cocktails, dancing, more drinks and time has run away. Finally, three in the morning arrived to home, needless to say ….. dead drunk… Just tried to shut the door silently behind me, when the bitch cuckoo clock has begin to work: “cuckoo … cuckoo … cuckoo”. Because I knew that my wife will wake up to that noise, I quickly continued the cuckoo’s nine more times. Gotten away with a thought of quarrelling, filled with pride with this brilliant idea – quietly went to bed next to my wife. The last thought before fallen asleep was – how smart and quick-witted I am … even in the critical moments I could invent myself.

The next morning when my wife asked me what time I came home, calmly replied “Exactly 12 at midnight, as promised, my darling”. She said nothing and even seemed to doubt either. Well, phew – gotten away with it …. that’s a MIRACLE !!!…. I thought… but when she turned back to me for a moment and said:

- By the way, I think you should replace that cuckoo clock!

- Yes, my love …but why? – I asked, trembling.

- Well, my baby…. I woke up at three o’clock night when the cuckoo chimed three times and the hell knows why or how, but then the bird has shouted somehow “F*ck !!!…” and did “cuckoo” then four more times as stumbled in the hallway, while did the other three and then the last “cuckoo” with laughing. Then one minute later one more loud  “cuckoo!” while he stepped on a cat and broke the phone in the living room together with the table. The last, longest “cuckoo!” in bed next to me was released out of himself, and this bird has simply fell asleep, accompanied by a farting… So, you will replace it, right?
