Halloween Horror Story - Chapter 2

Good evening children.

Halloween is just a night away so it's getting time for me to tell you another horror story for bringing you in the right mood.

This story is called

THE BANE OF "DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME"

It all began saturday evening. I went to town with some friends to have a drink or two. (ok, maybe I had more than just two drinks, but who cares)
I got home at 2AM unsuspecting that something strange will happen very soon. I was very tired so I felt asleep very soon.
As I opened my eyes at sunday morning my big analog clock on the wall in front of me told me that it was 11:00AM. I didn't really cared about it, but as I saw my cell-phone I was a bit confused. It told me that it was 10:00AM. A nother look at my analog clock on the wall approved my suspicion.

SOMETHING HAS MANIPULATED THE TIME-WARP-CONTINUUM!!!!!

Maybe I am trapped in a time-trap. Maybe I made a time travel during I was asleep!

WHAT HAPPANED TO ME!!!

I tried to find some more clocks to look what time they showed me. They all told me that it is an hour to early. I was nearly getting crazy.

So I asked my best friend - Google - for help.
What I found out was even more horrific. In 1907 someone called William Willett wrote an essay with the title "The Waste of Daylight". Because of this a lot of countries decided to create the so called "Daylight-saving-time". This means that time is different in summer than in winter. Two times a year (ones in spring and ones in fall) clocks are jumping an hour forward or backward.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! THEY ARE STEALING TIME FROM ME IN SPRING!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! THEY ARE GIVING IT BACK TO ME JUST TWO DAYS BEFORE HALLOWEEN!

WHY?
The official reason is that because of the summer-time you don't need so much electricity because sun shines longer in the evening.
Isn't that stupid? In fact a study shows that we need even more electricity, because of the summer-time, because the heating cost in the morning in the colder month are much higher.

So what is the real reason?
Think about that and happy halloween to all of you!

Halloween Horror Story - Chapter 1

Good evening children.
Halloween is just a few days away, so I think it's getting time to tell you some scary stories to bring you in the right mood for this mystic night.

My first story is about the most evil thing in our food.

GLUTEN


If you don't know what that is, ask wikipedia ( -> Gluten )

A lot of food has a little sentence at the end of the ingridients list.

DOES NOT CONTAIN GLUTEN

So that means gluten are evil.

I think I have to explain this.
If it is worth to tell us that something doesn't contain gluten, it means that it wouldn't be good, if there were some. According to that and because the opposite of good is evil, gluten are evil. I think. *gg*

Now let me tell you about the scary thing that happened to me.
My sister brougth me a chees-corn snack. I was very happy about this. I really like chees.

But suddenly I recognized how evil they are!!!
There was a little warning on the backside, ( A very little warning!!!! ) telling me that there are gluten in it!!!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! Gluten!
THE EVIL GLUTEN ARE GOING TO.....to.... to.................welll...........
..........give me a second...........

What are they going to do? During informing myself about gluten, I found out that there are gluten in a lot of food and if I don't have a genetical failure, they won't do anything.
So................


AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! GENETICAL FAILURE!!!!

...oh... sry................... I just wanted to panic again.

So I got nearly killed by a heartattack, because of a little warning on the backside of a chees-corn snack. I think that's really scary. *gg*

Now I have to say good night children. I wish you nice dreams and beware of the gluten-warnings!

suddenly i understand

My girlfriend - also a apprentice of informatics - ones told she wants to get a gardener. Now I understand. during debugging through a VB6 project - the code is extremely confusing - I found a a variable which was probably the worst line of code I've seen.

intÜberIndex = 1

For those of you who aren'tr allready screaming : There is a Ü in this name. You can't use a letter like this in your code! That's not right! But the really shocking thing is, that this programm is in use and works - WITH THIS Ü IN IT!

It's so crazy. I am really upset now.

I want a pony, daddy! - YOU GET A MUSTANG


Thx Sun! Even if the name MUSTANG isn't correct anymore, it makes me very happy to hear that Sun brings out JAVA 6 in the first week of December this year! This is my xmas present from sun. I am really looking forward to it, because I heard so many rumors about it and how many cool features it should include.

According to Sun the release was planned for October, but there are some bugs that have to be fixed, Sun tells us.
I am not sad about the release-date beeing moved, because I prefer a stabel and well tested version.
So thank you Sun for making me such a great present for x-mas. I think I will like this toy!

Go-Live

Da sich meine Freizeitbeschäftugung mitlerweile abgesehen vom AJAX und Python rumprobieren fast auschließlich auf XBOX-Live zocken beschränkt finde ich ihr sollt auch daran teilhaben. Deshalb gibt es jetzt sowohl auf meiner HP als auch hieri m Blog meine Gamercard, mit der ihr meinen Vortschritt verfolgen könnt. Sollte noch jemand von euch PGR3, Marble Blast ultra oder auch Burnout Revenge Live zocken, könnt ihr mir ja einfach mal eine Nachricht an meinen Gamertag schicken und dann mal sehn ob wir zu einem Spielchen kommen.
