About me
I am Poromenos (this is an alias, obviously). I am Greek and am currently a student at the Technical University of Crete in Electronics and Computer Engineering. I hate writing about myself, so I write on Porocrom's Crappaper at whim. If you want to contact me, you can use my PGP/GPG key or email me at poro...@poromenos.org.
I added your RSS feed to my reader and love your content.
One suggestion though (I see you are from Crete so English might not be your first language). Your site title should read Poromenos' Stuff. You do not need the extra s. :)

I have googled for it now that you mention it, and it says 'Words ending with s, z or x generally omit the "s."', therefore I will change it. Thanks :)

Submitted by fdm (not verified) on Mon, 20/03/2006 - 15:51.Sorry to type in boring old English after that lovely string of Greek, but the only foreign language I know to a certain extent is Spanish (sorry, the only non-English language... I suppose "foreign" is relative...). Anyway, how exactly does one use this public key in Mozilla Thunderbird? I can't exactly find the right function.

Submitted by jsoulos (not verified) on Tue, 01/01/2008 - 23:46.I'm going to reply in English, other people might have some of the same questions :) I'm not from Crete, I just go to school there! About moneygement data, what do you mean? I don't do anything with it, it just sits there. It says so on the front page as well, they won't be sold or shared with anyone :P I just wanted an app like that and decided to provide it to people as a convenience, because they might find it useful. The server *does* answer to https, just use it once and everything will be submitted over SSL. I didn't enable it by default because the certificate is self-signed and most people would be put off by "OMG THIS SITE IS NOT SECURE WATCHOUT!" warnings.
About the design, I just got a mac two days ago (as the latest blog post indicates). That design was supposed to be temporary until I created the "official" site design, but I can't stand half-finished things and decided it was probably good enough :)

Submitted by Poromenos on Wed, 02/01/2008 - 00:28.tnx 4 the answer!
I would have guessed peloponisos :-)
I still can't find the "disclaimer" on the front page though. It doesn't realy matter anyway I just find it interesting whether or not developers care/think about security when they code or not.
Especially when you correlate an openID with finacial data and knowing that google finds everything ;-)
I am not trying to offend or attack you in any way. I realy like the Idea of your application especialy since I never took time to keep track of my expences. :-)
Btw bying a mac in greece is a though decision I think. I love them, got a g4 myself but try and get any support... googling for "rainbow.gr" and general mac users in greece doesn't give you that happy proud feeling you get in mac comunities around the world.
anyway I hope you don't regret it.
I don't want to write a new reply to your mac post so I post is here...
try http://docs.blacktree.com/quicksilver/what_is_quicksilver to overcome the 5.
I like quicksilver but in Leopard spotlight has become useable aswell
try http://www.manytricks.com/witch/ to cycle through windows and not apps
http://www.manytricks.com/butler is very powerfull to if you take the time to conf it
http://www.versiontracker.com/macosx/ is the place to search for apps
hope it helps... let me know
have fun

Submitted by jsoulos (not verified) on Wed, 02/01/2008 - 11:48.Ah, that's no issue, that's what authentication is for. Do you think that people can see your emails/chats/etc? Everything's built so that noone but you can access it, of course. About the community thing, I don't care very much about it, and I kind of hate the mac "community". I bought a new laptop, I didn't move house... Rainbow's support is kind of abysmal, though. Thanks for the other tips as well, they're great places and I already got Witch that takes care of the switching. I'm subscribing to versiontracker now as well.
