Coding since 1994, creating and managing Linux-based systems since 1998, using Linux as a daily
|
||
driver since 1999, a child forever, Gergely Polonkai is a systems engineer of a software company,
|
||
and also a freelancer self- and software developer.
|
||
|
||
He is learning about different IT subjects since the late 1990s. These include web development,
|
||
application building, systems engineering, IT security and many others. He also dug his nose
|
||
deeply into free software, dealing with different types of Linux and its applications, while also
|
||
writing and contributing to some open source projects.
|
||
|
||
Gergely likes
|
||
|
||
- to discover new things and teach them to others
|
||
- to break things and then fix them
|
||
- his job
|
||
- to play
|
||
|
||
He can turn pancake in the air, which used to be his most endorsed skill on his former linkedIn
|
||
profile.
|
||
|
||
He considers everything a game so he can remain calm even in the tightest emergencies.
|
||
|
||
Gergely is a fun guy to work with. He could remain cool headed in the tightest situations when
|
||
everyone else were running around like headless chicken.
|
||
|
||
– Graeme Spice, a former employer
|
||
|
||
He believes in the future even if he won’t see it happening, so he helps shaping it wherever he can.
|
||
|
||
On this site he is writing posts about different stuff he faces during work (oh my, yet another IT
|
||
solutions blog), hoping they can help others with their job, or just to get along with their brand
|
||
new netbook that shipped with Linux. There might also be occasional posts about more personal
|
||
subjects from parenting and house renovation.

.. epigraph::
|
||
|
||
I believe one can only achieve success if they follow their own instincts and listen to, but
|
||
not bend under others’ opinions. If you change your course just because someone says so, you
|
||
are following their instincts, not yours.
