vale[ blog ] diary of the last hollow soul

I'm into layouts nowadays, it seems. I'll write the promised two posts on the layout and/or version changes of those big sites, but now i'm just announcing that the possibly final layout of the next blog version is ready, more or less. Rather less, since i've only done a graphic design of it, haven't tried to implement it into html as of yet, but it won't be hard, because this one's simple, but—at least in my opinion—looks great. While working on it, i realised that if i'll have a tag system instead of or beside the categories, then the tags should echo the actual content of the post, which in many cases would mean that a tag should be present in more than one language. That'd be quite troublesome, but i think i'll manage to figure out some resolution (such as multi-lingual tags, same id, different language, a simple double unique key in the database). One question: should the next blog remain in english (i mean the website itself, not the content) or should i rather do it in hungarian (or—don't choose this, because that'd be loads of work—should i make a multi-lingual interface)? Is there anyone out there reading me, who doesn't know hungarian?

It was so fun to lay down and be browned dark by the sun in that week from 9-16 this month i spent with my family by the lake Balaton. It was good as usual, only the weather could've been better for a few days, when it was either just cloudy and windy (at least then we could go out to the beach and fly my kite, which in the strong wind was much fun) or in worse cases even rained, when we had no other chance than to sit in the hotel room reading or watching telly or just sleeping twice as much a day than usual. When the weather was good enough, after waking up around nine and eating breakfast, we went down to the beach to sunbathe, or to have fun in the water, playing or whatever (frisbee is fun in water). I usually had lunch around three after noon, after which i played chess with my little brother. At about six we ate dinner. After that there were a couple of choices. Either went down to the beach for an afternoon splash in the water, or had a walk in town, down the beach, or we went in town roller-skating. Monday i had to go to Budapest for my interview for the japanese scholarship (luckily the weather wasn't that good that day, so i didn't miss much), which i really enjoy: though i had to introduce myself in japanese (that didn't go that well, i haven't practised japanese for more than half a year now) i had a good talk with the interviewer—i learned that i got a top score of a little bit more than 50% on the written test. I think i could've received the official results by now via e-mail, but up till now i didn't have time to check…
