Play, Act and Learn and Eating, Fun and much more
March 20th, 2010
The last week was very exciting and I don’t really know where to begin. I was at the Interdisciplinary College (IK), a spring school with courses from the areas of Artificial Intelligence, Neuro Biology, Psychology, Cognitive Sciences and some other. This year’s focus theme was “Play, Act and Learn”. The event was placed in the Heinrich-Lübke-Haus in Günne at Lake Möhne.
To the topIsn’t HP able to write working drivers?
April 19th, 2009
Because the old printer was not working anymore I had to buy a new one. It was a HP Photosmart C5380. But it gives me no joy, because the Mac drivers have a big bug. Showing the ink levels, printing test pages and stuff like that works without problems. However, if I try to print from a normal program, I get the error message “USB class driver missing.”. Therefore, I wrote to the support and they told me there might be different reasons for this error message, but in may case the problem is that I’m using a case sensitive file systems. These are not supported.
IMO such mistakes should not happen in a big company like HP and if these should be fixed as soon as possible. For me it seems that there are only written some file names in the source code in a wrong way and this should be now big deal to fix.
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.
Dungeons & Dragons 4th edition
January 6th, 2009
Well, I played 4e quite a lot by now. Most time as Dungeon Master, but also some sessions as PC.
In my opinion the 4th edition is great (not perfect, but an improvement compared to 3.5). I think, there are several people who dislike the 4th edition. Probably the best would be to try the 4e yourself. Everyone has different demands concerning roleplaying games: Some like more the roleplaying parts, others like more the kick-in-the-door style of gaming and want to slay hords of monsters.
Nevertheless, in this post I want to try to state why I like the 4th edition.
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.
