Presentation about the Maturation of The Brain
February 9th, 2010
I just uploaded a presentation of the paper “Maturation of Widely Distributed Brain Function Subserves Cognitive Development” by Beatriz Luna et al. I done this presentation in a seminar at university. I also renamed the “School” category to “Reports etc.”, because I will also use it for works done at the university, now.
I also want to mention that I discontinued my hosting offer for several reasons.
To the topCheck out Always Icecream
December 16th, 2009
Beside my studies I am working part time for a company called Miaplaza for some months now. They run a social network with the same name. But I am involved mostly in the newest project: Always Icecream. I would like to present this project in this blog post.
The Wall
February 22nd, 2009
Saturday evening I attended the concert “The Wall – in its entirety” by The Australian Pink Floyd Show (or just Aussiefloyd) in the AWD-Hall in Hannover. About a year ago I already wrote about The Australien Pink Floyd Show. This band is a Pink Floyd tribute band, which wants to play the music of Pink Floyd as near to the original as possible. The Wall may not be the favorite album of each Pink Floyd fan, but live its absolutly awesome!
Before I go on with further details I want to warn you that I may spoil one or two surprises.
Nowadays Everyone has Fast Internet …
January 11th, 2009
… or not? I hadn’t some days ago: When I was sitting in a train I suddenly remembered that I wanted to bid in an eBay auction. Moreover this train would not have arrived until this auction has ended. Luckily modern mobile phones are able to access the world wide web, the datarates are also respectable with UMTS and the costs are acceptable in such “emergency situations”.
So I bootet my Macbook, connected to my mobile phone via Bluetooth, typed the eBay-URL into Firefox and waited and waited and waited … As it has to be I had no UMTS net on the railroad, just GPRS which is very slow. Moreover the ebay front page has several graphics included. Finally I needed 15 minutes to click me through the eBay pages and to submit my bidding.
What do we learn from this? Even nowadays it is important to design webpages in a way that not too much data has to be transmitted. Whereby I have to admit that my homepage is not build in this way entirely. Perhabs I might retouch this page.
By the way, the time a webpage needs to load can be measured at this website: http://www.websiteoptimization.com/services/analyze/index.html
DnD Fight
July 25th, 2008
Last night I was playing Dungeons and Dragons with a couple of friends. We figured out that the Smartie packings match exactly 2 fields and used them as sarcophagus. The rubber in the center should be sword which is stuck in the ground 
Great fight!
I have to say that I really like the fourth edition of Dungeons and Dragons. Especially being the DM is much more fun IMO.
Aussiefloyd
February 23rd, 2008
Pink Floyd is one of the greatest rock bands and very important in the history of rock! But the chance that they will reunion and can be seen as complete group in concert is very low, I think. 
Luckily there is “The Australian Pink Floyd Show” (or short Aussiefloyd), which trys to play the music made by Pink Floyd true to the original.
Naruto d20
November 29th, 2007
It has been a long time since the last English post. Soon I will start a new Pen & Paper RPG campaign with some friends located in the universe of the Naruto anime. The rules will be based on the Naruto d20 rules. I think you have to apologize the work Frankto Vinneti, the author, put in this. The rule book includes tons of techniques!
For this campaign I edited my DnD character sheets, so that they can be used for Naruto d20. You can download them under Stuff & Fun / Naruto d20.
Games Convention and Server Update
August 28th, 2007
Last weekend I visited the Games Convention in Leipzig and was able to play some promising games like Bioshock, UT3, StarCraft 2, Sacred 2, … By StarCraft 2 I had some luck that the game could not be started for some minutes at the PC I was sitting. Therefore I was allowed to play the double time as others and was able to test Terraner and Protoss. StarCraft 2 is not very different from the first part, but anyway it makes lot of fun.
Today and tommorrow is a server-update planned. Because of this the homepage may be inaccessible for some time.
Nothing happens
August 2nd, 2007
Sadly I had the last two weeks not enough time to upload anything new. The next two weeks I won’t be home. But afterwards I will hopefully have some more time to upload some new stuff.
Back to the Everyday Life
July 21st, 2007
Now I’m back from my trip to Malta with two friends. It was great. Anyway they told my friend at the check-in for the flight back to Germany that he is not in the computer system and he cannot fly. But luckily it worked out that he could fly, too. I hope to be able to upload some photos soon.
Moreover the German government for a lMHO very stupid law in the last two weeks. It prohibits to create and publish so called “hacker tools”. But how should an administrator check his servers for security holes without such a software?
Last point to mention: Yesterday I’ve deleted my whole music collection I’m lucky that it seems that I could recover most of the files.
