AIBO arrived

My ERS-7 is arrived to my home today. I did not choose her name, but I have tested, she works very well.

Új szerződés

Ma írtam alá az új szerződésemet a Nokiához. Egy nagyon jó lehetőséget kaptam, július 14-én fogok kezdeni egy korábbi ismerős nokiás menedzseremnél, a kilátások nagyon jól néznek ki. Nagyon kecsegtető fizetési ajánlatot is kaptam, amit nem tudtam visszautasítani, illetve a szakmai fejlődés szempontjából is kifejezetten kiemelkedő. Pozitívan tekintek a jövőbe, gyakorlatilag ez az első igazi előrejutásom a "karrieremben" azóta, hogy itt élek Finnországban.

I bought an AIBO

I've won the auction of an Sony's ERS-7M2 robot dog on eBay. I'm very happy to end up in this situation, because it was my dream to use a well-constracted robot for my research without the troubles of the robot-building. I can control it via wireless, thus it makes really a lots of things quite easy.
Now I must pay it and wait for receiving it from Swissland...

How to develop Cognitive Vision under Windows

Here are the steps, which are needed to develop/compile my project with Eclipse under Windows:

Download and install the windows binary version of the following items:

- cmake 2.6

- MinGW (Install the g++ compiler+MinGW Make option!)
- Gtk+Glade development package 2.10.11
- Gtkmm+Glademm development package 2.10.11
- OpenCV 1.0 (ChOpenCV package does not need!)
- Eclipse for C/C++ Developers
- Subclipse plug-in for Eclipse: Install the components Subclipse, JavaHL adapter.

Import the Cognitive Vision from svn into Eclipse:

- Start Eclipse
- Select File menu/New/Other/SVN/Checkout project from SVN
- Create New repository location->Url: https://aibo.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/aibo/trunk/CV->Finish
- Select C++/C++ project->Project Name: CV (you must see MinGW GCC in Toolchains)->Finish
- Close the Eclipse
- Start the Start Menu/CMake/CMake-gui-beta
- Select the CV location in the Eclipse's workspace and copy that location to the binaries build directory.
- Configure button->Choose generator Eclipse CDT4 - MinGW Makefiles+Use defaults->Generate button
- You should see in the bottom part somewhere that the g++ compiler/OpenCV/Glib/GTK/Glade are found properly.
