Especially it is the fact in Latvia - this year is the ultimate hockey year: our team is in the Olympics and we have the world championship in our capital Riga in a couple months.<br><br>Tomorrow we have a chance at medals in biathlon and luge. I had no idea our guys were actually in top 5 there. That will be fun to watch tomorrow.<br><br>And on Wednesday the heat will be on: hockey, Latvia vs USA. We would have beaten USA to pulp at last years world championships if the judge would not have illegally rejected two goals shot by our team and given a large number of unfair penalties to our players. Even the coach of the USA team made a point after the game of saying that the judging was inadequate. However the real point is - we will crush you this time.<br><br>PS. I just found out that the championship is planned at the same time as the Debconf 6 in Mexico. NOOOOOOO!!!! This is the worst news - I'll miss all the fun. Crap. Really. Crap. I hope there will be some kind of coverage in Mexico. </p> </div>Antipatent workhttp://aigarius.com/blog/2005/05/10/antipatent-work/2005-05-10T18:05:00Z2005-05-10T18:05:00ZAigars Mahinovs<p></p><p> </p><div> <p>Today I started to work more actively for the FFII to counter the EU software patents directive. I am bringing SMEs in for the <a href="http://www.economic-majority.com">.economic-majority.com</a> site and to Brussels to meet with MEPs. It seams that there are many SMEs interested in that kind of action in Latvia.<br><br>Also fixed two bugs and added one feature in <a href="http://www.tikiwiki.org">TikiWiki</a>. Yay!<br><br>Sidenote: If our hockey players win Sweeden today, then we will beat Finland to the top 8 in the World Cup :) (We played 0:0 with Finns yesterday.) <i>Edit: Well, we all have dreams, but it seams playing a good game right the next day after a tough game is nearly impossible, thus we lost horribly</i> </p> </div>
