1600km in 6 Tagen

Freitag 500km nach Stuttgart zum Turnier, Sonntag abends 500km zurück nach KLF, Montag mittags knapp 300km von KLF nach Rastede in zwei stunden (okay das waren 270km) um eine Trainingseinheit in Karate in meinem Ursprungsverein mitzumachen. Dienstags dann eine Runde im TUS Bloherfelde Ju-Jutsu - irgendwie werden alle immer grösser nur ich nicht - um dann abends unter Freunde ein paar nette Cocktails zu verhaften und dann Mittwoch die 300km wieder zurück nach KLF.

Ich sollte dringend den Teleporter erfinden... .

Keine blauen Flecken, aber auch keinen Plazierung

Da war ich also nun, auf der Open EM in Stuttgart der ISKA (International Sport Kickboxing Association).

Sehr cooles Wochenende auch wenn von Seiten des Veranstalters nicht alles 100% gelaufen ist. Sprich ich sollte am Samstag in der Gruppe traditionalle Süd Hand Formen starten, aber in dem Chaos ist meine Startkarte verloren gegangen.

Schade.

Ich hatte bis zum Turnier eigentlich ein recht gutes Gefühl, wurde allerdings etwas unsicher als ich bemerkte welchen Rang Sifu Jens Richter in Mitten dieser verschiedenen Schulen und Stilen einnahm. Im Gegensatz zum Karate ist hier die Meister bzw. Personenbindung doch viel stärker.
Im Karate fragt man Dich: Welchen Stil machst du, im Kungfu fragt man: Wer ist Dein Meister und ich wollte weder Sihing noch Sifu Verlegenheit bringen, indem einer Ihrer Schüler eine Kung Fu Form einfach im Karate Style läuft.
Trotzdem nervösität gehört dazu und es wär echt super interessant gewesen, weil jemand aus einem anderem Stil ebenfall die selbe Form, allerdings in seinem Stil gelaufen ist - und er wurde damit 2ter.

Sonntag: Kämpfen
-60kg +18Jahre und so wie die Jungs aussahen sind die alle sowohl bei den -18 Jahren als auch bei den +18 Jahren angemeldet worden. Sihing, war zufrieden, wobei ich mir auf dem Video (kommt noch) ansehen konnte, das man 16Jahre Karate nicht einfach in 6 Monaten Kickboxen wegkriegt.
Was ich immer noch nicht wirklich verinnerlicht habe, ist das Semi Kontakt Kickboxen mehr "Ticker" Spielen ist als Kämpfen. 1st point counts, egal wie "schlecht oder recht" er getroffen hat. Und sogar ein Block bedeutet meistens nicht das der andere nicht den Punkt bekommt.
Wie gesagt, das ganze hat dann zwar nur noch wenig mit "richtigem" Kämpfen zu tun, dafür ist's auch bei weiten weniger Unfallgefährlich als Karate oder Ju Jutsu. Trotzdem hat's sau mässig viel Spass gemacht.
Ach ja, in beiden Kämpfen bin ich nach 0 - 5 wegen technischer Unterlegenheit rausgeflogen und somit 4ter von vieren geworden. Nicht gerade eine Meisterleistung aber ich war ja auch mehr zum gucken da.

Videos und Fotos folgen.

Ja, ich schlage Frauen (updated)


sogar mit einem Stock.

Vorallem, wann hat man schon die Gelegenheit unter Aufsicht einer Frau eine andere Frau zu verhauen.

Dieses WE war nen Arnis Seminar in Oberhausen und ich hab mich das erstmal in "den Ring" getraut um dann in "Vollrüstung" ein wenig zu Kämpfen.

Sieht schlimmer aus als es ist, die Rüstung hält ne Menge auf und macht ziemlich viel Spass. Das Punktesystem hab ich zwar noch nicht ganz verstanden aber nur so zum probieren schockts schon mal.

Hab nen nettes Video von meinem Fight, ist leider ziemlich gross aber glaubt mir, ich schlag mich bestens!

Update:
Bild ist nicht das beste, aber es gibt was zu sehen.

Willkomen auf der Titanic

Zwei Drittel der BenQ-Mitarbeiter verlieren Arbeit

1900 der rund 3000 Mitarbeiter von BenQ Mobile könnten nicht weiter beschäftigt werden, teilte Insolvenzverwalter Martin Prager am Donnerstag mit. Im Werk in Kamp Lintfort seien 1100 von 1800 Arbeitsplätzen betroffen, in München 850 von 1300. Am geringsten betroffen sei die Forschung und Entwicklung. Dort blieben 500 der 700 Arbeitsplätze erhalten.


Als Kommentar dazu.
Die die jetzt von ihrer Arbeitspflicht entbunden sind, haben bis Ende diesen Monats frei und werden in einen Qualifizierungsgesellschaft aufgefangen. Mit den Verblieben, wird versucht das Geschaeft aufrecht zu erhalten. Die die "Gehen" bekommen weiterhin ihr Insolvenzgeld und haben ein Beschaeftigungsverhaeltnis, dann mit der Qualifizierungsgesellschaft bis Ende des Jahres.

Was das heist?
Die die "Gehen" gehen zu dieser Qualifizierungsgesellschaft und .. keine Ahnung was die da machen, waehrend die anderen weiter mit der Titanic versuchen den Eisberg auszuweichen.

Und ich?
Ich bin noch auf der Titanic.

Soul Kerfuffle: The View From the Top

Soul Kerfuffle: The View From the Top

The top of what you ask? The height of World of Warcraft greatness.

A few weeks ago, a good friend of mine quit playing Warcraft. He was a council member on what is now one of the oldest guilds in the world, the type of position coveted by many of the 7 million people who play the game today, but which only a few ever get.

When he quit, I asked him if he would write a guest blog post about the experience. What follows is a cautionary tale about the pull an escape from reality can have on you.

Very interesting read.
I must say, Ive seen that path laying in front of me during my time playing SWG.
But there were a lot things keeping me from taking that path.

First of all, my RL friends, naturally, but funny thille my roommate , and downer, playing rintrah, were playing themself.
So we were mostly playing at certain times together (more like simlutaneous because we had each very different playstyles and goals) and after a while, we took a break to "hit the city" for the rest of the night to see our other RL friends and get some beer

Second, my SWG guild.
REB never moved away from the family guild style we were.
We've done everything but everything in the right amount.
We were a pretty small NOT PvP dedicated guild and we were still messing around with the big guys and earnt a lot of respect
We've been doing stuff just for fun, weird stuff, or just chatting and talking ingame or on vent.
And regarldless how much better we got in PvP, or doing DWB or what ever.
We were still family and to a degree I still see them all as family - even though we're not playing anymore.

Ive never been close to wandering that path, having a lot of RL stuff to do, training, searching for a job and such but still, having such a great guild definitly made me never get close to loose myself as the guy who wrote that.

For the great times I had in SWG REB - even with the very critical intro to WoW or MMORPGs in general - I have to thank them.

I miss playing with you all.

Ogi, dont ask, I cant stand fanatasy settings online ... =)
You can visit me in eve online though Wink.

Der Weg zur Hölle is gepflastert mit guten Absichten

Aber irgendwie bezweifele ich, das die jemals gute Absichten gehabt haben:

Software zur Entdeckung negativer Berichte über die USA gewünscht



IMHO halten die sensations geilen Medien, das Volk jetzt schon dumm, dadurch das IMHO and AFAIK in USA keine wirklich objektive Berichterstattung statt findet.

Nun will die USA noch die wenigen, die sich vielleicht objektive oder zumindestens über eine zweite Quelle informieren wollen, die vielleicht negativ sein könnte "filtern".

Der nächste Schritt wird dann dann sein, das dieses schöne Tool dann doch während der Wahl alle Nachrichten des ungeliebten Konkurrenten aus dem Netz fegt und somit nur noch ein Kandidat übrigbleibt.

Soviel zur Freiheit und Demokratie in den USA.

Siemens Jokes:

Kommt eine Blondine zum Siemens-Pförtner und sagt:
"Ich bin schwanger und weiss nur dass der Vater bei Siemens arbeitet können sie mir helfen?"

darauf der Pförtner:
" Gnädiges Fräulein das ist ganz ausgeschlossen
erstens wird hier nichts mit Liebe gemacht
zweitens nichts was in 9 Monaten ferig wird
und schon gar nichts was Hand und Fuss hat."

Und noch einen, weil's so schön ist:

Der Liebe Gott besucht die Erde, geht durch die Strassen und sieht einen Menschen auf dem Rinnstein sitzen der weint, wie ein Hund. Der LG fragt ihn und sagt mein Sohn, warum weinst du: Der Mann schluchzt, dass sein Hund gestorben wäre. Gott sagt: Geh heim und du wirst sehen, dir wurde geholfen.

Der LG geht weiter, sieht wieder einen weinenden Mann und fragt den, was er denn habe. Der Mann schluchzt, mein Haus ist abgebrannt, mit den Eltern und Schwiegereltern. Gott sagte, gehe heim und du wirst getröstet sein.

Der Liebe Gott ging weiter und traf noch so einen weinenden Mann, er fragte ihn, was ihn den quäle. Der Mann antwortete, Herr ich arbeite bei Siemens. Der Liebe Gott schaute ihn lange an..... dann setzt er sich daneben und weinte mit.

Interessant ...

Mitarbeiter wollen Schadenersatz von Siemens


...

Das belege die Aufsplittung der Siemens-Handysparte in eine Management GmbH, in der die Abfindungen der BenQ-Mobile-Chefmanager gesichert seien, in eine Asset GmbH, in der man die Vermögenswerte der Siemens Handysparte wie Know how gebündelt habe und in die von der Insolvenz bedrohte BenQ Mobile GmbH & Co OHG, in der ausschließlich die zirka 3400 deutschen Mitarbeiter zusammengefasst worden seien.

Das Kapital der BenQ Mobile habe 25.000 Euro betragen - zu wenig, um die Gehälter der deutschen Angestellten für einen Tag zu sichern, kritisierte der Betriebsrat. Beim Insolvenzverwalter sei nichts zu holen.

...


Das wird noch witzig. Ich denke ich sollte bestimmt Leute mal zu mir inladen ;), ein Schelm wer böses dabei denkt

Die Neonazi-Gang vom Werwolfladen

Von Sonja Pohlmann

Eigentlich war es eine normale Demo gegen Rechts - bis die Lage in Wismar eskalierte. Einer der Protestler filmte die Szene und stellte sie ins Internet. Die Hauptdarsteller: 150 Demonstranten, fünf Neonazis mit Baseballschlägern und ein paar hilflose Polizisten.


...



Zusammen mit den anderen Berichten, die es in den letzten zwei Monaten gab, wo rechtsextreme Elemente versuchte haben verschiedene Wahlveranstaltungen zu stören, fügt sich das langsam in einer ansteigenden öffentlichen und anscheinend auch gewaltbereiten Präsenz der Dummköpfe ein.

Man muss schon fast sagen: "Leider" leben wir in einer Humanitären Gesellschaft, wo wir "mal drüber reden" und hoffen, das durcht richtige Argumentation jeder zum Schluss das "Richtige" als solches erkennt (wie gut das klappt sehen wir ja bei der Verständigung der "Westlichen Welt" mit dem "Islam").

Dummerweise geht das aber nur wenn dein Gegenüber nicht gerade damit beschäftigt ist, sich den Schädel zu rasieren und stumpfe Parolen auswendig zu lernen anstatt zur Schule zu gehen.

Schaut man sich die "Jungs" mal an, sind sie um die 20 bis 30. Wer hat damals noch regiert und angefangen bei der Bildung zu sparen ?

Before wir zu dem Video kommen, noch ein paar mehr Ursachen dafür, ebenfalls aus www.spiegel.de

Triumph im toten Winkel der Republik

Aus Postlow und Wilhelmsburg berichten Philipp Wittrock und Jens Todt

Menschenleere Dörfer ohne Perspektive, die Jugend flieht, die Verbitterten bleiben: Vor allem in Vorpommern fand die NPD den Nährboden für ihren Wahlsieg. In ihrer Hochburg Postlow schließt nicht einmal der Bürgermeister aus, aus Protest mal rechtsextrem zu wählen. Ein Besuch im NPD-Land.

Falls ihr euch nur die Hauerei und das Versagen unsere Ordnungskräfte ansehen wollte, ab ungefähr Mitte des Videos gehts los.

Aua!

... das tat weh! Der kleine Tommes hat sich das wirklich zu herzen genommen, das ich angekündigt habe, das ich mal ein wenig Üben und recherchieren wollte. Allerdings bin ich leider nich dazu gekommen....

... da hat mich glatt kalt erwischt mit 'nem Orktürme rush. Irgendwie kam mir das bekannt vor.
Naja, ich wollte mal eben schrieben, wie ich Star Craft und War Craft spiele.

Ich spiele beides eigentlich sehr sehr uneffektiv.

Eigentlich Poker ich eher als das ich wirklich spiele.

In den meistens Spielen, spiele ich gegen Tommes, Spirou, Ingo, Hans oder wer auch immer. Und meistens kenn ich die Jungs und weis ziemlich genau wie sie spielen. Daher leiste ich es mir häufig grobe Lücken zu machen in meiner Spielstrategie, weil ich weis, das z.B. Spirou nur selten in die Offensive kommt, Ingo der Baumeister ist und Hans Nuklearangriffe liebt.

Ich überspringe ganze Zweige in der den Erwicklung nur weil ich weis das die Jungs dieses oder jenes nicht tun. Und gerade weil ich sie so gut kenne, klappt das meistens. Ich "spiele", ich versuche nicht zu gewinnen, sondern versuche heute mal dieses oder jenes Spielchen.

Tommes mag Untote. Jedemenge davon, die Spinnen und später die Flieger.

Heute gabs Orks.

Das hätte mir schonmal zu denken geben sollen.

Und dann gabts nen Orktower rush.

Aua.

Egal.

Wie Du willst Tommes!
Ab heute keine Spielchen mehr!
Du wolltest Krieg, jetzt gibts Krieg!

DRM - Digital Rights "Management"

Wir alle wissen, das die Intendanten unsers öffentlich rechtlichen Radio und Fernsehens so ziemlich die Gehirnamputiertesten Idioten sind, die man auftreiben kann. Fast witzig ist allerdings, das es auf der anderen Seite des Oceans Leute gibt, denen man anschliessen noch in den leeren Schädel geschissen hat. 'tschuldiging für die Fäkale Ausdrucksweise aber anders kann man es nicht bezeichnen:

More crackpot DRM ideas - Blogzilla
...
The current favourite seems to be that ISPs should be forced to monitor all exchanges of data and charge customers when a copyright work is spotted. When I asked how the spread of encryption could possibly be compatible with this scheme, they airily replied that only paedophiles use that technology and we would all be better off if it was banned.
...

Ab jetzt wird alles nur noch verschlüsselt übers Netz geschickt.

Sehr gut in diesem Zusammenhang ist dazu natürlich dann auch Microsofts "Angriff" auf den iPod:

Microsoft Zune won't play purchased Microsoft media files - boingboing.net
...
Microsoft's "iPod-killing" Zune player won't play music that's locked up with Microsoft's own anti-copying software. Music and movies sold through Napster 2.0, Rhapsody, Yahoo! Unlimited, Movielink and Cinemanow won't play on the Zune, even though these services are marketed in conjunction with Microsoft's "Plays for Sure" (AKA
Plays for Shit) program.
...


Oder ganz neu:

Microsoft Zune will violate Creative Commons licenses

...
The new Microsoft Zune player (their soi-disant "iPod Killer") applies DRM to all the files you move onto it, even the Creative Commons-licened music. The problem is that CC licenses prohibit this. What's more, CC licenses are machine-readable and could, theoretically, be detected by Microsoft, if they cared enough about copyright to ensure that they were adhering to the license policies set out by creators.

Für UMTS Handys also auch noch ...

Entweder das war mir vorher immer entgangen, oder die ARD-Intendanten sollten mal bekanntschaft machen mit meinen Bahi Stöcken:

ARD verlangt Gebühr für Internet- PCs und Handys.

Nur weil die keine Ahnung haben wie man mit Geld umgeht um, wollen die immer mehr Gebühren haben, für irgendwelche Geräte, die vielleicht "ihr" TV Programm zeigen könnten. Fehlt nur noch, das die Honks demnächst Gebühren haben wollen, dafür das man Augen im Kopf hat.

Another Eve online comment

Yeah yeah, I wanted to write something about Berlin and WoW.

Anyway, I started looking deeper into Eve Online politics and it is as I suspected.

Let me quote some stuff my corpmates from Eve University wrote:

Band of Brothers(bob) and Ascendent Frontier(ASCN) are by far the top 2 alliances in terms of power, size, territory and military. As far as publicly known these are the only 2 alliances that have a titan(s). BoB tends to take things over by military force where as Ascn tends to use merger and buyouts as their method of growth. BoB has taken military action on any allinace where they find out titans or mothership building capabilities have been shown. (ala them destroying TRUST which was cassini now and getting MC to blow up our(the big blue) capital shipyards after we built a mothership for a small pirate corp)

Most of the older alliances history is made up up various more famous corps who owned 0.0 space before allinaces were formally an in game mechanic and of course have their own territorial battle stories.

Most alliances run an NBSI policy. (not blue shoot it) ISS is one of the few who do not shoot neutrals and allow them in their space as was the big blue.

Mercenary coalition is an alliance of mercs. Many rumoured to be alts of Bob. They live in Bob's space so you can call them bob's bitches like other corps/allinaces who rent space from bob:P

The only newer alliance of note would be Goonswarm as they joined eve as one large group I believe around a year ago and became a top 5 sized allinace very quickly. They had no claimed territory and had recently fought for some and basically pissed off many allinaces in the world and got bitchslapped by a lot fo large alliances back to empire for now.

That's a general summary.


And here something more:

Eve is all about politics. To be precise, 0.0 space is all about politics. Sometimes, it only takes a bet to get a large war machine on the move (it has been hinted at that the Big Blue got wardecced by the Mercenary Coalition as the result of a bet). Sometimes war is a direct result of forum flame wars (as illustrated by the recent BOB vs Goonfleet conflict). Eve politics can boggle the mind at times, but it's all real, and it's not scripted by CCP.

As it has indeed been pointed out before, ISS Cassini used to belong to an alliance called TRUST. I don't quite recall the exact reasons why BOB invaded, and the reasons don't really matter at this point anyway, but it may have had to do with capital ship production and the fact that BOB does not like anyone else to have cap ships. While not liking something is fine in itself, BOB has the means of enforcing their "no capships" policy.

After the Mercenary Coalition destroyed the NAGA capital shipyard in 8MG (which had been the goal of their war), BOB occasionally conducted spot checks to make sure BLUE would not start cap ship construction over again. They did this with just a couple of recon pilots in interceptors - all you need to do is park at a planet an scan for the relevant POS module.

Soon after TRUST lost its outpost to BOB, it ceased to be neutral and formed a new alliance in the North - Dusk and Dawn, or D2. As outposts can not be destroyed once constructed, BOB was stuck with a station in a part of space it had no intention of controlling, so it handed it over to ISS.

ISS is a wise organization. It constructed deep space outposts to stimulate trade and business, guaranteeing the space's neutrality by giving station shares to major player factions. It is political maneuvering at its best, and I do recommend you drop by the ISS website to read up on how it's done.

ISS outposts are funded by shares. An IPO raises sufficient cash to build the outpost and shareholders receive dividents from station revenues (such as docking fees, repairs and so on).

ISS Cassini is the sole ISS station that was not built from an IPO but essentially given away for free. It does not mesh well into ISS's existing business model, as the alliance already has a 0.0 outpose deeper into Pure Blind.


Now this all sums up to a very Shadowrun-esk setting with hugh corporations controling 0.0 space plotting and scheming all player controled. Even though I'm just a very very very very tiny dot in all this, I have the feeling being part of all this and that appeals to me more and more.

This baby is mine now:

20" inch screen

So I got all my errands done and just when I arrive back from those on friday I get a call to pick up my new toy ;). Nice, anyway I drove back to my parents to bring back dads car and to pick up my motorcycle.

Arrived pretty early due to friday having the day off. Had a nice smaller tour around my old place and visited some friends who I haven't seen a while. Sunday left at 1pm and arrived around 6.30pm in KLF.

It was a pretty cool tour, I only got into one smaller rain for about 10 minutes but the rest was sunshine all along. I had three smaller stops and asking for directions in WES somebody tagged along and just said, follow me and you get home.

So here I am, still slightly tired. Was nice weekend. Cya around!

Easy languish Journey

So I survived the Arnis Summercamp in Mühlheim, as you already might have noticed and now summervacation for Nord Rhein Westfalen finished so school starts again and with that regular training in my martial arts school.

When I though I just got used to the training the main instructor is doing the training again leaving me with a lot of ache and hurt in all my limbs. Doh do they hurt. Besides that I have today and tomorrow off to do some "office" runs getting a new passport as well getting the licence plate for my motorcycle which is running again.

I'll have to go to the netherland consulate tomorrow but after that I'll be heading back to good old OL or more to my parents to pick up the motorcycle. Wish me some good weather driving it back down here on sunday.

Oh to the guys of REB, yes I know, I know, I'll grab me a WoW trial as soon as I can to join you.

Saturday, August 05, 2006

Where have I been?

First, I had my first visitors at my now not so new home. Jan and Jürgen, commenly know as, "Der Chemiker" and "Tante" have been here with a mission. To get drunk and rock out what is possible out of little KLF.

Yeah, there's not realy much to "rock out of KLF", what those two realized pretty fast.

But let's get things in order.

Friday last week the two of them arrived at my place just when I wanted to call to know how much time they would need to lit up the fire of the barbeque. Throwin' a look out of the window I see the two busy already drinking their first beer.

Nice and warm after a three hours trip, while I already had prep'ed some nice and cool ones in the fridge - laserbrains! We finished 19 beers and a bottle of Kalua and Wodke together with some milk (spell: white russian) so apart from rampaging through KLF not that much happened.

Saturday I had to take the opportunity to get to IKEA to buy some stuff, which turned out to just one "stuff", but the two of them warned me, that they we're aming to get thrown out of IKEA so I had to hurry to do my shopping before security would kick our asses. Anyway tante was still dealing with last nights alcohol and when we moved to a section Jan said, "Doah, the smell of all this paint is sure making you throw up" and tante the "man of action" he is, did just right that ROFL. Right there, right in the middle of IKEA.

Yepp the rest is up to him to tell.

Saturday night is going out time and again having the warning ringing in my mind that the two fo them are here to misbehave, I had to go to a place where I only need to go once, so I picked the Delta Park in Duisburg. Weird big disco, even with a beach party.

Let's just skip it, but somehow "beach party" was more a "bad hair day". Never seen so many bad hair styles at one place. Even Satan would go there anymore.

That was my weekend.

Apart from the "forth and back to good OL" to grab dads car and the paper work for my motorcycle my vacation started on tuesday.

5 days Arnis + Camping, two training sessions per day and depending on you skill graduations.
Now that all is hard to put into a few sentence but just let me say, even with a lot of rain, we had a whole lot of fun. Let me just toss in some random phrases that marked the weekend:

"Immer bis zum Anschlag." - "Kampf sport is wie Liebe machen." - "Mein Trainer ! Mein Schüler! HU HA !" - "Lass uns im Wasser trainieren!"

You just have to see it. I'll try to grab that short mobile video Guro made and drop it here and you might get it.

So my appartment is a mess, my arms are aching, that was a very good spent week.

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.

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.

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

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

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:

DDO Trial

Yepp, I got me a free 7 Trial on DDO *there you go Ogi*. So here are my rough frist impressions of my first couple of hours play.

* Character creation is just like in the old DDO games, stats, classes sound all pretty familiar, the customization looks good, which in total is a good average but nothing special.

* Start - Kinda nice tutorial, pretty short but gives you a hint about how the game will be. I still have to adapt to the controls but besides that it's okay. Again a good average but nothing special.

* The world - loading into zones and instances. The environment is realy good, all rich and detailed but the game feels a bit "static". Though a lof of people are running around, it certainly is not like Coronet Starport during PRE CU, those places with their advertising bots and docs buffing and buff lines, where like a real metropolis. Players interacting with other players.

* Gameplay - you talk to an NPC, get your quest, load into it, check the quest goals and then return to the NPC. Though the stories are kinda well written, it lacks something IMHO. It lacks the freeform kind of play I had with SWG mission, how boring those might have been, they left room to fill what was missing with my own fantasy. Taking mission in my guild town in SWG was like patroling and guarding my city, add some more RP players and it's a lot of fun and way more interactive than just doing quest.

* The quests itself in DDO are as far as I have played some realy nice, some puzzles, some monsters primary and secondary goals - even more fun with a group. Just like going to the DWB with the guild or doing some other high end stuff in SWG. But so far from my side, that's it. It lacks the immersion "being in that world", it feels like playing a single computer RPG with it's more or less static environment and story with friends - I miss building or creating my own saga.

All in all a good game, even better if you are a fan of D&D, but my D&D time is long ago. I'll gonna play more during the weekend but I don't think I'll stay.

Pirates and Bam Lee

That's me and since Bam Lee seems to get passed to me over and over again you get it here as well:



My pirate name is:


Iron Harry Bonney



A pirate's life isn't easy; it takes a tough person. That's okay with you, though, since you a tough person. You can be a little bit unpredictable, but a pirate's life is far from full of certainties, so that fits in pretty well. Arr!

Münster

So I have been to Münster last weekend. Though the occasion was a not so pleasent one, my godchild Lou, Conni and Ansgar had to come to Münster for this weekened. I'd had called Conni on tuesday but didn't catched her and so she called me back on wednesday. With Satori aka Nenotar aka Dave as well living in Münster this gave me the chance to spend an extended weekend and not just a day in Münster by just dropping at Daves place.

It all went well, well except that I missed one train by just a second, but I arrived on a beatiful day in Münster. With her other godfather living as well in Münster we all spent two very nice days, considering the occasion. We have been playing a lot in the sandbox and Lou definitly hit the 120 dB(A) loudness level.

At Daves I must say, he lost his mind. His roommate is as screwed up as he himself and they both multiply eachother into the infinite, which is ... very exhausting. Two martial arts wannabee geeks in one appartment = lots of martial artsbooks, stuff, equipment, food, .... geekness. Anyway it was a hell of a lot of fun to see Dave again and to get to know his not less geekiness roommate. Not that they are even close to as good as these but that's definitly what they are aiming for.
For more details just call me ;).

So with having said or written that, here are todays link:

Hu Chuan Pai Kung Fu

I just graduated to the yellow belt in Hu Chuan Pai Kung Fu.

It was okay, I could have been better, wasn't that good prepared, at least in my opinion.

Kicks okay, blocks and punches okay as well. Stances mediocre, to quote yesterdays movie (Lethal Weapon) "I'm to old for this job." Arm locks, okay as well but my self defense was ... well pretty messy. The attack was a pretty simple straight punch and I had the freedom to choice "what ever I wanted" for my defense - and that was kinda the problem. "What ever I wanted" is pretty much, looking at my martial arts history, but on the other hand the time I've been practicing martial arts started to slowly sink in some favourits, which are a mixture of what I've learned so far.

And that mixture is not applicable. At least I tended to hesitate to applicate it toward my training partners. Sure I could force them but that surely hurt. I mean realy hurt. And that was not the point and it was just a yellow belt anyway.

So, happy me ! Yay! Wish I could cheer, I'm so dead exhausted I can hardly type.... Can anybody cary me to bed?

So ...

... many days and hardly an update. Well it's not that I'm living in the high life metropolis. So far everything is going fine, I'm partially out of work again as in work has slowed downn a bit, but I usually find something meaningfull to do to keep me occupied and if it is just keeping my work bench in a tidy shape.

Oh one thing though, next Monday I'm having my yellow belt test in Hu Chuan Pai Kung-Fu. And another thing that might interest my lower saxony friends: Next thursday is a holiday for me, one of the two more holidays I have here in NRW. Anyway so much for now, I'll gonna bother some of you per phone during the weekend if I get bored LOL.

Nooooo !

Warcraft III
Hadoken vs me this evening: 1 - 1

Todays Link

Revenge of the eBay customer sold 'faulty' laptop:

The broken laptop i sold on ebay

So how is Dark and Light?

That's the common question and according to the DnL Forum it's the best MMORPG and launch ever and at the same time the worst thing some have ever seen and utterly doomed to fail.

So what's my take on it?
It's what I expected it to be. It's not better than I hoped, it's not as worse as I feared and what some tend to forget, it's not Star Wars Galaxies and especially not the NGE.

I don't know SWG from launch but to my knowledge, day one in SWG was not day one, since the server broke down during start up. So compared to that DnL launch was pretty okay, they had their break down already with the SoG launch and it looks like, at least stability and network wise, they did their home work.

The game runs smooth on my current computer and I had only one forced crash since somehow I got stuch in the map mode with my keyboard not reacting.

So how does it look compared to SoG.

The environment engine goes up one level again, was the immersion in SoG already fantastic with the tremendos view you had, SoG is like DnL in minimal settings. There is grass, trees, stuff all ove the place and the landscape together with the upped details is rich and immersive. Picture yourself in one of those landscape shots in LoTR, just you and now lift off with a glider flying around just like the helicopter in those shots and you get the idea - breath taking.

The characters and their animation are ... plain. They lack variety in character customization during creationg and everbody gets the same outfit at start making everybody looking like clones. Now looking back at SoG this was pretty much the same, I don't see any big improvemens, but also recalling SoG the diversity in looks came with the outfit. There are 9 different slots for different armor parts and I expect when more armos is going to be looted or better crafted the characters start to look different. At least in SoG the variety in the end was pretty good.
Some complain about the crappy animations and the lack of emotes and compared to the emots of SWG well DnL is not even playing in the same league but as far as I know, they weren't there at launch. This is something they can updated over time, more important is ...

Game mechanics: You have 7 attributes which all more or less are tied to your skills, you have for different paths, each of them branching off into at least two different classes and again each class again with at least two specialisations.
As far as I know you can specialice in crafting an invidiual item. You gain social XP, crafting XP and naturally fighting XP. You can meddle with in different paths, going for fighter, hunter, healer and spellcaster at once or you can specialize.
You can re distribute your skills.
Now are they any good?
I don't know yet. It's rich and challenging to find what you like. I don't want to say its complex just for the sake of it but it offers a wide variety of possible playstyles, which I for sure want to try.

PVP - something a lot of people focus very much on. Well PvP in DnL is not PvP just for the sake of it and interestingly it is very tied to socializing, if you want to give your death and victories a meaning. You occupy land by owning forts for which you need social XP, you loose these in PvP battles or to conquer other lands in destroying others.
This will need more time - and IMHO not just a few weeks - to show its beauty or faults but it's certainly more interesting than ganking in bestine.

Quests. As important to me a detailed terrain landscape is to immerse myself into the world, quests are important to me to immerse my character into the history and live of a MMORPG. Now I haven't found a single quest yet, which is pretty disappointing ... but I have the Alchemic Dream Team working on SoG with their live events. I am pretty confident that they will introduce some not to say a lot of quests and that the live events have a very interesting style in happening. I just say GM RPing NPC and events with an open outcome.
Multiple language live events each supporting each other in sub task to a common goal.
In SoG even dark and light working together - or not - in open PvP areas, so those events are not "static".
Also add that players and their guild where able to write their own quests for their guild integrating their guilds into the history of DnL - an option my guild and partially myself failed to take. So there will be quests and I'm willing to wait.
It's not that I ever have been a lot questing in SWG anyway. I was there for the player made content.

The community - well this is, at least for me, the biggest let down. The official forum only consists of fanboys, flamers, trolls and "I hate DnL". There is nothing going on besides that. Nothing. But I partially brought my own community with me, so there might be a chance that at least in game you meet some decent people.

With that said, so much from me to Dark and Light, I'll gonna play it for the two pioneer months and probadly go for a master subscription.

See you in Ganareth!

Btw.

Besides waiting for DnL (see below) I was playing Star Craft and War Craft III on battle.net with hadoken and Akhwah anbd some others. Mordeo was so kind to offer some space on his teamspeak server so if you want to join up drop me a note and I'll hand out you the login info.

All games are usually just called auguststrasse and the default channel within battle.net for both games is the same, though we tend to communicate more via TS or ICQ.

So just for the records:

StarCraft (europe server)

Akhwah vs. me: 4 - 0 (I managed once to kill one unit, yay!)
hadoken vs. me: 0 - 2


WarCraft III (Northrend/ europe server)

hadoken vs. me: 2 - 7
tara vs. me: 0 - 1

Ailoovi vs hadoken vs me: 0 - 0 - 1



I'm waiting for more people to join in, because it's only fun to play with people you know. You got to taunt your enemies via TS or ingame chat and that's only fun with people you know ;-).

Dark and Light is now available. I'm downloading it now.

PodCasts and GEMA (Die Gesellschaft für musikalische Aufführungs- und mechanische Vervielfältigungsrechte)- if I could, I would discuss this with you in english, but this only affects those in germany and my english is not that good.

For the germans, just read it, it's close to unbelieveable, also tante wrote something regarding it at the gay bar (that's where I picked up this piece of information).

Loud

Thursday was easy. Nothing to do, at least till the afternoon. There's been a "Frühlingsfest" in the City of KLF, "BIG" setup with serveral carnival fun rides. Well depends on how you define "big".

Anyway the local school (a "Gymnasium") seems to have a skater park and with that a local skate contest and afterwards some bands playing. I've not been to the skate contest, because it was slightly raining and it didn't interested me anyway but I visit the bands playing afterwards. Loud, mainly, funny and good never the less but it's kinda tiresome to listen to. Mostly more leaning toward the heavy and hardcore stuff with the first "group" being some freestylers. They where a little bit out of place it seems.

It all started at 4pm, I quit at 8 missing the last two bands. Feets and ears where hurting enough, though interesting was that it looked like one third of the school can skate, girls and boys.

Anyway here some random links:

Yes, I'm a little bit bored

I didn't get my S3 Vision 968 PCI graphic card working in my new compter. Somehow the MB BIOS doesn't like it when set to boot PCI graphic card first and freezes and when I'm booting with PCIe graphic card first, the S3 doesn't get any rescources. So no three screen options. I'll have to try it with my 2nd DVI out but currently somehow my TV is overriding access to it ... or the DVI to SUB-D converter is not good. Bah.

I'm going to try out the Dark and Light stress test. It's not that I have that much to do at the computer right now anyway.

I heared and knew about a deleted scene, where Luke was supposed to meet some friends at the Toshi station, but never have actually seen anything of it. It's just freaking awesome!

Further I'm trying to get my old university mates to hook up to the internet to get crushed under my defeating power in Star Craft/Broodwars and/or Warcraft III. I need some more competition ;-).

Just when I wanted to go to bed I noticed something was weird with my chives. It's got Aphids/ plant louse, how I hate those beasts! And pretty many of them already ! I hate them, I hate them, I hate them!!!!

Kornel if you read this. I need a million Coccinellidaes! Starting with soap first but I need something to guard my other plants and spices. This means war!

Warcraft III & Starcraft

I just love these games.
Just played another set of two Warcraft games vs. Hadoken, lost the first one in a pretty strategic move from him but the second was a victory for me again.
So with yesterdays games its 3 vs. 1 for me.
I hope we can get Starcraft running again as well and maybe some more people joining in.

Thursdays

Let me guess, the moment I write this down, tante and kry are already out of the house walking toward 'the wok king' picking up the order of everybody else, while everybody else is talking nonsense.

Anyway Kry had something to distribute and here I share it with you. Don't ask I just link it ;-).

Spam attack

On my blog comments:
Anonym hat gesagt…

I really enjoyed looking at your site, I found it very helpful indeed, keep up the good work.

Hallo I absolutely adore your site. You have beautiful graphics I have ever seen.

Nice colors. Keep up the good work. thnx!
Your website has a useful information for beginners like me.

This site is one of the best I have ever seen, wish I had one like this.

Your site is on top of my favourites - Great work I like it.

Nice colors. Keep up the good work. thnx!

Now, if I just had graphics, colors or information my blog I could have passed it as some of my friends. Don't we all just hate these spammers ...

Anyway, was it that, I was the first to leave the office during my first weeks, it seems, that I'm currently close to the last one to leave.

Specs

Okay, I noticed I haven't written down the specs of my computer so here they are:

  • CPU: AMD Athlon64 3500+ 2200MHz tray S939 Venice E6-Stepping
  • Fan: Xilence XPCPU.K8 (AMD)
  • Motherboard: Asus A8N-E S939 nForce4 Ultra FSB 1000MHz PCIe ATX
  • RAM: Kingston ValueRAM 2x1024MB 400MHz NonECC CL3
  • Harddisc: 250GB Samsung SP2514N and an 160GB Samsung SP1654N 8MB
  • Graphiccard: 256MB Leadtek WinFast PX7600GT DDR3 128bit 2xDVI TVOut PCIe
  • Case: ATX Midi SF7021-BK 400W-12cm
Pretty nice and it will suit my needs for the next couple of years ... I hope. I had as I mentioned yesterday some trouble with one of my two 1GB RAM DIMMs but it's already on it's way back so I should get a replacement soon.

What else happened today?
Well busy day at work but it's nice to have something to do and we're making good progress - even though the results from my current test might kill my first project, but hey, that's not my fault. I didn't came up with that wierd idea, I'm just there to build it - if it's possible at all.

Training Kung Fu and Kickboxing, fun as hell but exhausting as hell as well. Doing twice one and a half in a row is realy straining but it rocks. I like it .... and I did my second turn on my new washing maschine LOL. Come one ! It's one of new toys so let me have some fun with it.

And now, as Johnny and Nick from Celebrity Deathmatch use to say: "Good night - good fight!"

Weekend ...

Well I drove home again to visit a wedding and it was a very nice wedding and the wedding party was pretty cool as well. Met some people again I haven't seen a while and I had enough time to talk to a lot them. Danced a bit, at least as much as I can rememer the steps but it was all okay and fun even with the music beeing very odd but the midnight buffet was awesome.

So now I'm back and tested my new system, because I had some random crashes with it during Settlers of Ganareth. Memtest didn't reported any errors so I hoped it might have been just a buggy driver so something easy to fix, but my favourit geek recommended me to test it with Prime95 as well and yepp my favourit geek was right. One of the two RAM DIMMs I bought is faulty so here we go the reclamation tour. Shouldn't be a problem but it's annoying. Luckily I bought two 1GBs so I won't miss that much performance during that time.

Settlers of Ganareth will end tomorrow, sadly, because now that I finally have a computer able to run it, it shuts down, but on the other hand it does mean that Dark and Light can't be that far anymore.

The maschine got delivered on time at 14:00 so I had to leave early at work *grin* my colleagues were making fun of me, when I offered to come back later. I'll catch up on the lost time probadly tomorrow and on thursday, though this cuts down the chance of leaving early on friday for a white russian.

Links today

I was shopping for a washing machine today. At one point I had a fairly okay offer and I got bored and didn't wanted to spend another day driving around looking for a good but not to expensive machine so I just bought this one.

In addition I was just soo hungry that I wanted to go home.
So with that I think I'm finally all setup here - okay, I still haven't cleared out everything but I have everything to "survive" here in KLF.

Said that, here are todays links:

Another 1st

My first weekend in KLF and there is even an event going on in town during saturday and sunday. Though the weather is close to perfect I didn't felt like going out yesterday. I've been to an arnis workshop for three hours and pretty exhausted. I just chilled in my appartement and further unloaded stuff.

The evening was easy and lazy and I started abusing my telefon flat rate by bothering some friends on the phone just for fun ;). Anyway weather is going to hit 25° C today again, I need a comfy chair so I can take a sun bath on my balkon.

Worst time so far

03.05.2006: 00:07:10.242

Busy day today at work. I'm realy working now!
ETA for net at home is 05.05., that's this friday.
Enough for now, let me quote Neo from Matrix:

"I know Kung Fu."

At least that's what I planned to do now.
