I'm in love

Blackbox sun, won't you come and wash away the rain...
Ok I know that this is a - costumized - sungarden lyric (Black hole sun, won'Tt you...) but I think it fits really good to my wishes right now.

I wan't a sun blackbox. In my garden. Now!

This is the coolest server ever! It is the first virtualized datacenter. It delivers 146 teraflops and can hold up to 2 PentaBytes of data. You can place this container everywhere you want. Plug it in.

but there is a second thing I would like to have in my living room. The Sun Fire E25K Server.

Why is the world so cruel? A geek like me without enough money to afford a sun. It is so unfair.

One liners

I can't stop laughing at the moment. You know CSI Miami? Every time it starts like this:
Some one is dies and then David Caruso takes on highs glasses and says something "cool". I it so funny. If I was David Caruso I wouldn't be able to do this hundred time without laughu´ing my head of.



And ones more:

C MAGIC

I am absolutly impressed.
I know that those of you who aren't programming won't understand this, but I have to publicate this. Just follow these steps with the code from below! ENJOY!

This has been circulating the net for the past few years.
It is a remarkable piece of code.


1) Cut out the following obfuscated C-code into a file, say xmas.c
2) At your unix prompt type: "cc xmas.c"
3) The program should compile without errors, now type "a.out"
4) It will compile under DOS as well.

5) No, it does not access the file system.
   No, it does not access the network.

6) Your guess is as good as mine.

Recapitulation

The last time I was writting something here it was freezing cold outside and the world was buried by heavy white snow.
Today I left the house wearing a T-Shirt without feeling cold.

The reason why I haven't wrote something for so long is, because there wasn't much to tell.

But, a few things I like to tell you about this time. I won't tell you about the "millitant traffic circle fanatic", but about what I've learned and what I've done during the last month.

The last three weeks I spent with learning how to use Hibernate and tried to improve my JAVA skills. I think it worked bretty good. I am thinking about completly rebuilding my homepage. I just have to make a new one every now and then.
At the moment I have absolutly no idea what to do, but I think something will come to my mind sooner or later.

I also spent a few hours thinking about likeliness. I think there are three theories which you have to think about.

Murphy's law
If anything can go wrong, it will, and usually at the most inopportune moment.

increase likeliness
You just have to make something more likely until the likelyness is as high as it can be.

mathematical likeliness
If there are 2 possibilities, the chance for each of them to happen is 50%.

So Murphy's law tells us that the chance that something happens that should happen is 0%, according to the 'increasing likeliness' theorie the chance that something happens that should happen is 100% and the mathematic tells us that the chance that something happens that should happen is 100 diveded by the number of posibilities.

A simple example:

Flip a Coin - head or tail.
We bet on tail.

Murphy: 0%
increase: 100%
mathematic: (100/2)% => 50%

Avvarage: (0+100+50)/3 = 50%


Another example:

Throw a dice.
We bet on 6.

Murphy: 0%
increase: 100%
mathematic: (100/6)% => 16,6666666666666666666666666%

Avarage: 38,888888888888888888888888%

I will try to make some experiments with this and the tell you about this soon.

weather chaos NR.1 - 2007

I think words can't explain what is happening right now right here. Weather is so crazy. Yesterday we had 16°C and today I can't reach my home by car because the roads are blocked by snow and broken trees on the street- so i had to walk. Here are some pictures. They were taken between 9:00AM and 04:30PM in chronological order.

See how fast chaos is:

I will post some pictures tomorrow to show you how the chaos goes on.

Form 16 to 0

Snow.
Yesterday afternoon it was enough to wear a T-Shirt now you need a lot more. It snows again. We have a temperature difference of 16°C between yesterday and now! Weather is really scary sometimes!
When I left home this morning it started to rain, but now it is snowing. It snows like crazy. Snow even starts to cover the streets and plants outside.
I wanted to put summer tires on my car this weekend- I am glad that I didn't do so.

I hate the weather...

mail me python!!!

It's there!!! - the book I ordered.
"Object oriented programming with python"

Ok, sounds boring, but for me it is something really great!
I staterted playing around with smtplib. Finally I managed to wirte mails using my own console application! It looks so cool when you're writing mails in a console window.

Green on Black - I will posta screenshot here soon!

Maybe you think this is very uncomfortable, but in fact it is lot easier and faster than using any complex applikation with a great gui and lot's of cool, but never used, functions. This thing I wrote simply writes mails. First it ask you for your email, the recipient's email and the subject. Then you write your mail text press return twice and that's it!
Every thing runs in text-mode. It looks something like this

>FROM: webmaster@the-engine.at

then...

>TO: webmaster@the-engine.at

then...

>SUBJECT: TestMail

and finally...

>MESSEGE: This is my testmessege..... may the force be with you!!! lg salendron.

and that's it!
What do you need more? Ok attachments! This will be a bigger challenge, but I think I will be able to implement it, but first I will implement a client for recieving mails. I am so excited! I love playing god for 1 and 0.

ring ring.... What's your name?

Why is it...

Ok image your telephone rings. What is the first thing you usually say to the one on the other side?

"Salendron...." - Exactly your name!
Maybe you say "Hello! Salendron...." - But this doesnt really make a difference!

It looks like the "ring ring" is something like a synonym for "What's your name?".

Maybe this happens just in my country - I don't know, but today it was the first time when I realized how strange this is.

uhuuu.... uhuuuu.....

No, I am no owl or big foot or a bear called bruno, even if some people think so. I told them that I was doing some photos in the wood this weekend. HDR-Experiments.
They started joking around. Sometimes I do some strange things., like making noises like "uhuuu" at work. Don't ask me why - I am a strange person.
So they told me that it is very dangerous for me to go into a forrest because maybe a hunter wants to shoot me because he thinks I am an owl and when he recognizes that I am not he may think I am big foot because of my big feet and when I tell him that my name is Bruno he might shoot me because he thinks I am a bear.
Great!

salendron the inventor

First of all - I do not look like this!

- but it's a cliché...

Yesterday I was called "little inventor". I tihnk it was sarcastic. I like sarcasm.

...I am no inventor. I am just a bit megalomaniac...

FIRST ATTEMP: PYTHON

Having some ideas. Crazy ideas. Have to try.

First attemp: PYTHON

I think i will use python for this crazy thing I am trying.
I really hope it works, but even if it does there still remainsa major problem. I don't know any practical use for this technologie I am developing!
I hope I find one.

they are comming (BACK)!

Remember this? Right! This is a Commodere C-64. One of the first PCs.
But, what happened to the company Commodore in the last years? In fact, I don't know, but today I found an article in which it said that Commodere is planning a comeback! HighEnd gaming PCs! I don't know much more about it, but the official homepage - http://www.commodoregaming.com/ - is really funny!

my personal war

We are the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no great war, or great depression. Our great war is a spiritual war. Our great depression is our lives. We've all been raised by television to believe that one day we'll all be millionaires and movie gods and rock stars -- but we won't. And we're learning slowly that fact.

- Tyler Durden -


It might sound strange, but fight club was a movie which gave me a lot of things to think about. Ok it was a crazy movie, with a lot of surreal strange and funny things, but there is bad taste of truth in it.
I have never been in any really great trouble. I mean something life-changing. I never did something big. Big like something that changes history! I live my life and my biggest problem is the rushhour on my way home!

There is no challenge!

--- listening to Salive 800 ---

Got yourself believing in something
Got myself believing in nothing
And man you're going down
Make yourself a God
I know who you are

--- END LYRIC ---

Sounds like speaking to myself.
Today a colleague gave me the biographie of Linus Torvalds. I just read a few sentences - it's funny - but in some way it frustrates me. This freak from Finland really made it. He changed the whole IT-World with his idea. I slowly begin to feel to old to have such an outstanding idea to change anything. - But I think I am to megalomaniac to stop trying.

me and the olsen twins

Ok, they aren't really the olsens. In fact they aren't even twins, but I use to call them like this, because they are looking like twins - not like olsen - absolutly not like the olsens, but I forgot their real names.

It is shocking to see how long you can go to the university studiing informatic without knowing any about IT basics! Helping them with the easiest things is really frustrating.

damn.

metaLIGHT

What is wrong with me? Sometimes I feel like my creativity is dead and right now my creativity is hyper-active.
Two new projects - both looking very good. One is metaLIGHT. (HINT: there is a link in the sidebar) It is a little website where I put all my artwork. I did a lot of them during the last week. Photos, grafix, photo manipulations....

The other project (there is no link to this, because at the moment there is nothing cool to see) is vDESKTOP. It will be a web applikation (PHP/AJAX) which simulates a virtual Filesystem and mailingsystem with user and group managment. A lot of work.

Let's see what comes next!

PS: I feel like I have to do new artworks........

individual problems

Why?
I am just what I am. I know you all hate it!
If something isn't interessting - I will tell. I will never act like something is interessting to me, if it isn't! Hate me more? I will always tell what I am truely thinking!
Truth died. I am not like the others. I will never be. Take me as I am or go out of my way!

<< >>

Why?
I am just what I am. I will help you as good as I can. I am not bad! Just tell me what you're truely thinking! I hope I can help!

SHUTDOWN DAY!

http://www.shutdownday.org/
That's the site of some people who seem to very bored. They want everybody on this planet to not turn on their PC on the 24th of March!
Sure I will turn on my PC on this Sunday! (... and my XBOX 360 and my PSP and my Servers and so on...)

What a stupid idea! But,...

What Would Flying Spaghetti Monster Do?

What Would Flying Spaghetti Monster Do?

Äh... I don't know?

I love living in a world full of things that are so irrational! Let's talk about the Flying Spaghetti Monster! http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fliegendes_Spaghettimonster
I know a lot about religions, but this religion is probably the most funniest one I ever heard about! They believe in a Flying Spaghetti Monster and that the all the bad things that are happening, happen because there aren't enough active pirats on this planet anymore.

How cool is that? ... I guess nearly as cool as this: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unsichtbares_rosafarbenes_Einhorn

Perception

I AM...ALL SINS
And you're my reason for life....

I got respect for the people who listen
To the people who understand
The way I am and the way I act
This is my life, there's no changing that

planing things

I am a person that lives for the moment. I am not a person that plans thing more than 10 minutes before it's time to do these things.

BUT AT THE MOMENT MY CALENDAR IS FULL OF THINGS TO DO FOR THE NEXT TWO WEEKS!

How could this happen? I don't know. Suddenly I knew what I am going to do this weekend and what I am going to do next weekend. Suddenly everything is plannend.

<<>>

Plans are also the key to madden nfl 2007. It's such a funny game! I really enjoy spending my evenings playing a little game - or the superbowl. Can't wait until it's evening so I can play again.
