Cool, this works... Samsung S4 feels kinda plastic-y but it is quite remarkable piece of smartphone. Just writing this with it... From now on there will be more updates about new projects.

Long, long time since last post...

This post will be short but I thought just to tell everyone I am still alive and kickin' Current projects include: Mendelmax, Smoker V2, Mediaserver, SnowPlow(er). More to be announced shortly.
