Comments ....

Well ... I do seem to get a lot of comments but they are all spam :( . Since you, as in those who read my blog, don't seem to have to comment on anything at all, from now on if you have something to comment you have to bother to register first. Sad but true.

All spammers though are heartly invited to visit me and meet my two Bahi and Kamagong sticks in some Arnis practice. Don't worry it, it only hurts when you regain consciousness.

that makes us mighty

I'm to lazy to paraphrase it into my own words so:

tante@the-gay-bar.com wrote
done the impossible is a fan-made movie about the rise, the fall and the rebirth of Firefly.
The “big damn movie” was only made because many fans all over the world were willing to try to get the movie against all odds, now that they have succeeded (even though we’re still waiting for more stuff - the word “trilogy” comes to mind ;) ) some fans documented all that hard work in a documentary with interviews of many fans.
It’s not only interesting to people who like Firefly but to everyone who thinks that they just can’t do anything.

You can download it via BitTorrent here but you also might wanna check out the official website http://www.donetheimpossible.com for more information, the trailer and the opportunity to buy the DVD or the Soundtrack.

Star Wars

I got this from CTR+ALT+DEL


Don't know if that's and ad for a new jedi knight game or whatever though.
Another Star Wars gimmick, is this: Lego Star Wars

Eve is down ...

and I'm kinda bored (no not of the game). I was hoping to play a bit today during the forecast rain but it's still not raining.

It's kinda weird playing Eve but it's still fun. Currently I own two Reapers, a Slasher, a Probe, a Rifter, a Trasher and a Wreathe (see pic.). I could buy myself a Rupture but I'm saving up money for an Cyclone (that is a beautiful ship). They are all Minmatar Ships (my character is called Garr Anders) and they are on the left half way down.



I missed a Jamie Oliver show this morning (10.20 am) even though I was up already, I love his shows and his style of cooking so I added his blog to my links. I just can say try out his reciepes. They realy easy fun and realy tasty.

Yeah, once I get started I can't stop.

An interesting read

"The Small Dev Team Myth" Editorial by Dan Fortier at mmorpg.com

A pretty interesting read, especially when you are involved in watching Dark and Light fall deeper and deeper and just started playing Eve Online.

Just something in between....

Again some more time between updates, but I haven't been online for awhile as well.

Last weekend I took friday off, as well as this monday to spent some quality time at home with my family and my friends at my old place, hence the lack of updates. Also at work one project has been stopped so another could start I have stuff to do at work so not that much time to blog work or update random links I get during the day in my email.

So what happened?

Good food, easy to mention because both my parents had birthday, which was one of the reasons I expanded my weekend with friday and monday. Was also good to see my friends again and to go out because there isn't much to go out here in KLF. Besides that I'm, to lazy to write a full detailed report but the attentive people might have noticed a new link among my bloggers links.

Rooster has just recently opened his blog California, here we come! as he is leaving good old germany to have some fun time in San Diego ... that damn bastard ... but just like Inara we wish him "hundreds of fat children".

With this I'm closing now and might update later with some of those random links I got during the last few days.

Till then: "Go and play with your rain stick."

Something about Eve

So I'm playing Eve online now.

Strangly though, I like it. I tried it out once earlier this year and was first a bit dissapointed. The game is very passive, skills get leveled up by time even when you are not logged in and besides that it is just a pure grind for money to get the new equipment while you wait that time passes so that your skills get leveled up so you can use it.

Very awesome idea to get people to pay for it a looong time, but still something about it intrigued me to try a second trial and this time give it a bit more time - I'm going to pay for it. What intrigues me into playing is the diversity the game is offering with it skills. Also the old privateer is kicking in and while you loot new and different equipment you are looking forward to the next ship chassis as well equipment trying to gather enough money. You just have to try it out to see if it fits you and there is a 14 day trial on the net if you're interested. Holla me (I'm a Minmatar called Garr Anders) if you get in there, I might help you out with some stuff during the start but do the tutorial. It realy helps to get along.

Also the talk about huge PvP battles - for which I'm not ready yet - and huge wars between different cooperations sounds appealling to me, together with the annouced updated of the graphic engine and a new system that involves players more into the gameworld sounds promising as well.

Anyway here are todays links

We are all Monkeys

p.s.

I have to add some more links to this today, regarding the new "being german" stuff which seem to fit to the "we are all monkeys", as it is difficult for the germans to be german.

Sorry all in german only:

Lucky for me.
I'm a chinese-indonesian with a dutch nationality living in germany - I don't fit anywhere.

Doh!

Long time no update. Longer times between updates, still that doesn't mean I have stopped blogging.
It's just that I can't blog from @work, which I shouldn't in the first place anyway and was only possible during the first few days .. weeks.

I got some great links to realy funny videos and stuff and started another Eve Online Trial because DDO is good but it isn't the game I was looking for.

I could write some more about Eve online and some more other stuff but the weather outside is hitting 30 ° C and I do think it's terrible to sit in front of the computer rather than laying lazy in the sun, so if you're interested in my opinion about it and what I'm doing wait till it starts raining LOL.

Oh yeah:
