CQRPROP 0.0.8 has been released

After a long time, we have a new version of CQRPROP! There are no new features, just one bug fix – downloading images over HTTPS failed. The new version is available on GitHub, and packages for Ubuntu 22.04 and 22.10 are almost ready on Launchpad.

Website moved to WordPress

I had been using Joomla for many years despite problems with security, plugins, extensions, etc. I would move to WordPress sooner I was afraid of how much work it will take.This holiday I had strong flu and had to stay in bed – a great time to do some boring work with moving my personal […]

Activity from OL/ZL-105 – Jílová

I thought that my last activity this year will be the activity from OKFF-2010. Our twins wanted to celebrate their birthday with grandma and grandpa, who live in the Moravia region. The celebration was planned for the afternoon so I had a few hours to visit Jílová, again.

Activity from OKFF-1910 Na Plachtě
