FameLab 2009 – The final
The final of FameLab 2009 here in Bulgaria is tomorrow. I'll do my best and I'll post the results as soon as possible. I'll talk about Multicore CPU's but I might change the topic in the last time so who knows...
The show will be at Sofia Theater and starts at 17:00 PM - can't wait... 
PS: It was awsome. I wasn't in the top 3 however, but it was a very good show and I'm glad I was part of it.
FameLab 2009 – Bulgaria, Sofia – Round 1
I took part in first round of FameLab 2009 in Bulgaria, Sofia on 30th of March.
Some info about FameLab:
FameLab is an initiative of the Cheltenham Science Festival in the UK and this is the first year the contest is going international in nine countries in South-East Europe through the British Council network. The aim of FameLab is to encourage young scientists (18 to 35 years old) to inspire and excite public imagination with a vision of science in the 21st century.
The competition is searching for the new faces of Science who will be able to develop their ideas and presentation skills for a TV audience. The model is familiar from TV programmes like Pop Idol and Mega Star – you have just 3 minutes to prove yourself to a panel of expert judges, with only the best going forward to the next round, and the talk should be entertaining and original, scientifically accurate but also engaging to a non-scientific audience.

I talked about microcontroller. I was one of the five selected to go to the final round on 11th of March in Theater of Sofia.
21st Birthday
Yep, today is my birthday. I got some nice presents like a cool 6.1 sound system, a cash bonus for the holidays and I'm going to buy muself a new GSM , because my current one is old (Siemens M55)
New PC
I've bought a new PC this month. It's a Intel Core 2 Quad 6600(2,4Ghz), 2GB RAM, 500GB HDD, nVidia 8600GT 512MB DDR. I know the video card isn't very good but that's what I was able to afford. Now that I have a new PC I'll have more power for programming. I'm interested in multithread programming, that's why I bought a four core CPU. It does make a difference compared to my old pc. I can now encode video, record TV shows from my tunner and play a game at the same moment without any visible perforemance decrease. It compiles really faster and programs like Bledner3D witch can use all 4 core runs atleast 2 times faster. Unfortunatelly I have exams at university right now and I don't have enought time to test/play with my new PC.
Hello world!
Hello world! Well this is my first post in this blog/site. So you might ask what happend to my site. It was outdated with old skin witch I no longer like. Instead of writting my own blogging system and tring to make new design I decided to install WordPress and look for a nice theme on the net. So here it is. I am going to post information about myself and my programming experience. You could find info about any project I am working on etc.
So you need some info from the old site. Don't worry you can still access it from the button on this page header or by clicking here: http://www.violin-bg.com/oldindex.html
That's for now.
