Meet Zoli
On February 25, 2001, about an hour before the regular Sunday
class, Vance happened to notice Zoli on line on ICQ. Here's our
conversation:
Vance: (2:51 PM) Zoli, long time no see. We're still doing the Webheads
experiment.
Zoli: (2:53 PM) Oh yes, I know. Unfortunately I've been quite
busy lately so I can't participate. Of course, I still receive the letters, but
I don't really have time to write to the list too. :(
Vance: (3:00 PM) Hi,
no problem. We still remember you though.
Zoli: (3:01 PM) Good to hear
that. :) Actually I wasn't too active, but I'll do my best in the future.
Vance: (3:02 PM) Any time. We've been around since 1998. We have no plans to
stop.
Zoli: (3:03 PM) Okay, and thanks.
21 Aug 1999 - I subscribed to this list yesterday. I've
read some messages in the archive and visited the list's homepage too. I liked
what I saw very much, so I thought I should join this community. You won't
believe it; I even talked to Vance yesterday on ICQ.
Vance told me that you'd have a meeting at the Palace tomorrow. I
hurried to download the required software at once. Unfortunately, things didn't
go smoothly; I still have problems with the software. The PalaceViewer (a java
program) works properly, but the software doesn't. I can see only a big P, and
after I've connected (or not?) everything remains
the same. There's a dialog box at the bottom, but that's all. When I
type something in it, the program thinks that that's an address. I don't know
why. I'm afraid I won't be able to join y'all on Sunday unless a miracle
happens or you guys help me somehow.
(Zoli contacted Vance on ICQ on Sunday, and together they were able
to work out that Zoli didn't have enough memory to run the Palace client plus
other programs. So after rebooting and launching only the Palace, Zoli managed
to get his Palace client to work and he joined us there on 22 Aug, 1999 - miracles happen in
Webheads!).
Okay, enough of this. I think you want to read something about me too.
Well, my name is Zoltan Zmeskal. Zoli is short for Zoltan, so please call me
Zoli. I'm 21 years old and I am studying mechanical engineering. I come from
Hungary and I live in its capital, Budapest. Maybe you've already heard about
this European city. I'm building my homepage now which will contain a page
about Budapest, or so I hope. I have a lot of other great ideas as well, but
now I don't want to tell you all of my secrets. I'll let you know after I've
finished designing my homepage. I saw some of your personal pages on the
homepage of the Webheads class. I only took a short look at these pages, but
I'm sure that sooner or later I'll know you all.
I love English and I try to take every opportunity to improve my
knowledge. I think my vocabulary isn't rich enough yet, so I try to read as
many English books as I can. I've found a load of online novels on the Net and
I'm subscribed to many newsletters. I have some American friends as well. I
talk to them a lot through ICQ. (My homepage also will contain an English page
with links -- oops, one of my secrets :))
I want to spend the next summer in the USA as a camp counselor! I also
love hiking, taking photos, and ... listening to music. I do love music! I
listen to every kind of music, but my favorites are dance and rave. Don't
worry, I'm not a guy who is always in the disco. In fact, I don't like to go to
disco because of the very loud music and cigarette smoke. I also love the music
of the 60's and 70's because of the catchy melodies.
I think that's all for now. I guess you'll have to wait for my picture,
but I'll do my best to send it as soon as possible.
See you later,
Zoli
