Hamster's log, aboard Starship Enteryourpasswd:

"It was a cold day in the infinite Universe. By the way, it's always cold out there. There must be something wrong with the central heating! And then, suddenly a fire broke out in our board-kitchen. We tried everything to stop the flames, but it was hopeless, we were forced to abandon the ship."

The nearest planet to the place of this accident was the planet known as Earth. We managed to land safely, and since then we have been living here. No one has ever noticed that we're aliens. My new life on this friendly (?) planet was totally normal.

The obligatory bits, seen on every webpage...

Things I'm interested in: literature (I published in the most popular hungarian web-magazine and sometimes I even write novels, msotly for myself), music (rock and classical), airplanes, tramways:

Flying, general aviation
Airplanes have fascinated me since I was very little, but back then I never thought I could be flying one of those beautiful planes. Unfortunately I don't have the money to participate in a PPL (private pilot's license) traing course, so what I do is mostly "plane-spotting", in a somewhat different way from other "spotters": I prefer small aircraft and general aviation to big airliners. I also fly sometimes: I try to get into every plane that has an unvacant seat. I have also set up a web page with some of my experiences and photos.

I've also done a comic strip about an imaginery airline for a local website, which was a nice thing since my other ancient hobby is drawing, so I had two hobbies in one! My contract has ended, and now I plan to present this comic here, on my own site one day. Too bad I don't have enough free time!

Tramways (streetcars)
Another thing that I'm fairly into: trams. Or trolleys. Or streetcars,. Or light rail... or whatever you call them! I have always liked them, because they're different from the other public transport means: they don't pollute the air and the environment, they can be very effective and fast, and... they're cute. Or let's say "nice", if you don't like the idea of calling something that's not a living thing "cute" :-) I grew up in Budapest, Hungary (and that's where I still live now, too), where the tram system is part of our city lives: they appear in poems, children's books, they're on almost every old picture about Budapest, and from day to day they commute us to work and then back home.

Originally Budapest had one of the biggest and most complex tram systems of the world, with a vast variety of car types. Unfortunately that's gone now, but we still have a number of tram routes we can be proud of. The streetcars may be old and noisy by today's standards, but you wouldn't tell that to an old friend, right? I believe you won't be surprised if I tell you that I also have a web site dedicated (mostly) to the trams of Budapest - the photos speak for themselves I think!

I guess I could tell you more about my other hobbies (like playing the guitar, trashing my computer with Linux) too, but I think a good home page is short, so...

(Remark: this page was written around 2000, loads have changed since then, but I did not really update it...)
