Who is LONGGO, why LONGGO, Where..?
Yo.. take it easy man…, but reasonable questions anyway.
In early 1996 was quite eager to share some thoughts with the internet crowd. Then it was mIRC, ICQ.. Lovely time indeed.
Have you remember the joke : ICQ = I Sick You 
Well, if you remember the magnetic tape, 1.44” floppy drive, Odigo, Trillian, mIRC, perhaps then you know what I`m talk about, and I feel like stone age survivor.
As any other net user, I supposed to develop some “identity” for the WEB or - nickname as it is known, and without any particular reason decided it to be LONGGO.
Since then, the name just “stuck” with me. Funny or not, but when I “design” my alias, I didn`t know any word in Chinese.
Now I know no more than two or maybe three. Good improvement for those many years, what you think? Ha ha..
Why I explain that? Well, need to fill some crap here so the search bots to have something to chew about..
Anyway, around 2006-7, mate of mine said - “Hey do you know that your name actually mean something in Chinese”.
Huh.. Whaat? For real?! No way.. You`re kidding me..
Yeah.. seems, that was true - it was with some meaning. Am I reborn Chinese guy? Hell no - have you look at the picture?
But I did liked the nick anyway and for those many years it`s kind of part of my WEB personality.
Something like the nickname the kids get in early age from their friends and it get stuck same as old chewing gum from some bench on your pans. Even you remove the stain, everybody remember it..
Internet and computers!
When the first free e-mail services appear in my life I set one, and then second… third..And that is how it goes since that early years.
Later, when free hosting arrived I build my first web page. Damn, it was crap same as that and even worst it was build with MS office. No kidding! Even that one is made same way.. Just joking, but it was one of the ways to do it for a rookie.
After a while, somehow managed to get some understanding of CSS, HTML, JS, PHP.. C(very basic), how to unplug iron from the wall socket, cook bean, and change bicycle tire. (all after 4th one irrelevant to the topic but I`m very proud!! ha ha)
Honestly, that was quite far from professional use, but at some point it did come handy when decide to do this and that.
Some projects for friends, at some point even small additional job as benefit , even small profit.
Probably now is time to mention that my occupation and education is related to the CNC world.
Isn`t really “close” related with PHP and web..but is something that I still like to do as profession and hobby.
Unfortunately, as every aspect in professional live computer programming, and why not the CNC too, need constant knowledge update.
Maybe can say that really need to “set my watch”on daily basis. And I didn`t. And now I`m way behind from the last trends. 
.
Still, though I like to check what`s going on. But as you can notice I skip some of my projects of own blog platform, and start to use that nice piece of code here!
Computers?
I try to fix, break, use and set since maybe 1995-6(ish) but more confident can say become in what do after year 2000.
Me and the “bug” seems to have the same taste for timing.
Cars? Engines? Machinery? Love it! That is also one of my passions.
Here in the blog you`ll see some repairs, some ideas or developed projects related to them.
Maybe one of the things what I was quite proud was that I manage to tune my small diesel tractor. It was lot of reading, tests and so on, but that is one of the nice thing in life - to learn and see good result after ones effort.
Design? Photography? Art?
That are also things I like. Not good in them but like to take pictures , travel or visit museums and art gallery.
Even not good in any of them, that doesn`t mean that I should not admire what the others have done or the level in their art skills.
And who is Svetoslav Kovachev you ask?
Dude for real?
Are you blind?
Heloooow - that is me,.. Top left corer.. Well.. I guess should be there some “art” 
But who am I, when, why.. what..
Well, sorry but I`ll skip that “school/facebook” diary part.
I like all aspects of technology and as hobby I try fixing things. Or break them trying.
At least when possible will try to share in that small web space what I have repair, achieve, broke or just have fun with.
That webpage will be mostly dedicated to cars, computers, DIY , so if you search for good veal meat recipe - I`m afraid you`re on way wrong part of the universe 
Still, enjoy your time here and welcome on board!
