Zoltán Nagy (abesto) (no, the top of my head is not missing, you just can't see it in the picture)
I’m a Hungarian university student (learning IT at ELTE) and developer. I’ve been writing web applications since about 2008, while trying to check out at as many buzz-words as possible. I use Arch Linux at home, and I’ve also become a semi-competent Linux server admin out of necessity. Yes, a little knowledge can really be worse than none at all, I’ve experienced it first hand.
I like music (melodic metal – rock – blues), and pyramids. Or rather imaginary dragons and boxes with lots of tiny feet. Seriously. I’ll just go and read a few Discworld novels again.
What, still here? Very well…

The keywords are (Arch)Linux desktop and server, PHP, JavaScript, CoffeeScript, sometimes Python, maybe some Apache or nginx here and there.
Some posts use a “problem – solution – explanation” format, useful when you face the same situation. Others showcase a specific technology or concept related to web applications, or just to give you some food for thought.
What’s with the name?
My parents named me Zoltán, and it’s a great name, thankyouverymuch. Oh, not that one? Well. I hit some letters at random when I needed a name for a character in Sacred. I’ve tried to create other names the same way, but it just doesn’t work. Anyway, according to my Latin teacher in [whatever you have before university], it means “stay away”. It’s supposed to be some kind of old-fashioned imperativus of absum.
History, plans
I wrote my first post in 2008 on a Blogspot blog. Actually, you can still check it out here. Another one, where I’ve written the blog engine can be found here. The comments are 100% spam as far as I can see.
I’ve been writing on and off since then – both posts and blog engines. Now that I gave up on the custom blog engine, I’ll hopefully have time for at least a post a week.
