Microsoft’s Virtual Server
Microsoft is about to release it’s Virtual Server.
I guess I’ll try it (evaluation kit available here )…although I guess Virtual PC is still the premium choice for all home-/soho-users…after all: who has got a Windows 2003 Server (or similiar) running at home ;-)
FCM II 5-2 SKV Erligheim II
Not bad…although the match was really bad. After being down 0-1, and 1-2 we came back to really shoot them out of the place (the score could have been 8-4 easily in the end)…
Ingoal’s status: not in squad, but present on the sideline :-)
Must be the shoes (update)
So, I gave them a whirl yesterday and boy are those shoes sweet. With the Traxion system they’re real easy on your feet (minimal stud pressure). I gotta say: thumbs up! The first time in over a year that my ankles aren’t hurting after a training (I guess I should have invested in new shoes earlier :-) )…
Logo Design Contest
As you may know I’m running an leisure time online portal ( WikiFun.de ) with a mate of mine.
After getting the site up and running we’re in urgent need of a logo for the site, because we won’t get the site truely off the ground without a little promotion, hence we need a representative logo which will be used both on the site as well as on “merchandising” articles (we want to hand out t-shirts and stuff).
The Logo-Contest can be found here. The description is in german though, so here’s a quick summary:
- Logo needs to be in vector format (to assure the scalability)!
- Logo should represent the site (WikiFUN.de)…short summary of the site would be: location guide (bars, clubs, discos, etc) based on the mediaWiki engine; everyone can edit (almost) everything…so the guide should improve over time…with the help of all the party people out there
- What will I get if I win the contest: You will get x Euro (not totally clear yet…I guess anything from 50 to 100 Euro can be expected), a special site where the logo is explained (what’s the idea behind it), a link-back + the logo can be used in the designer’s portal
- Contest will end on 30th November 2004, winner will be declared two weeks after that…

Must be the shoes…
Oooh…the fastest ebay transaction ever. Won the auction on tuesday, payed via paypal on wednesday, delivered today!
Groovy stuff…and here they are, my brand new adidas (not scratching on the bathroom floor ;-) ):
I’m going to give them a whirl tomorrow :-)
Cup match FCM II 3-6 SKV Eglosheim (FCM II)
Well, well…3-6…1-5 at half :-(
They’re playing a league above us, but still no reason to go down like that…on another note: that way we can totally focus on the league play now, which isn’t bad at all as we intend to run for the championship this year!
On a side note: despite the promise to start the players who didn’t play last sunday I only played the last 15 minutes of the match… :-( [Strike 1]
GMail Invite anyone? (update)
It seems that Google is dishing out a huge load of invites as mine seem to auto-refill almost every day…so I’ve still got 5 left atm…if you want one…contact me :-)
Win! Win! Win! (FCM II)
Well… FCM II 7-1 TV Aldingen II :-)
Not bad…on the downside the match wasn’t as good as the result may suggest…and I didn’t play yet again…hmm…let’s see what happens wednesday (cup match)…
Spam Experiment
Stress…
…why did I stay up till 5 am this morning…Well, I thought it was a good idea to add a little Configuration Management System, namely MamboServer, to the site I’m currently working on. So I thought that it would be no problem to move the Gallery to a subfolder (it was sitting right in the root of the domain)…big mistake. It’s indeed nearly impossible to move a gallery once installed in a directory or maybe it’s just me…but I don’t think so.
So after a short night’s sleep I got up at 10am and after drinking loads of coffee and coke I’m well awake, but not quite feeling good as I’ve been working on the Uni Project all day (actually I’m still sitting here at the Fraunhofer Institute atm). Now it’s about time to go home…then maybe do a little editing of the site, yet again…and then it’s time to relax and hopefully get some rest on the couch :-)
Ergo: Moving stuff in the middle of the night isn’t a good idea, even though it might look to be one right then ;-)
GMail Invite anyone?
I know I know, enough already some might say, but yes…I’ve got some GMail-Invites left…so if you’re still in need of a GMail account…feel free to drop me an email:
Ingoal [at] gmail.com with subject: ingoal.info – GMail invite and don’t forget your first and last name…First come first serve ;-)
Week 3
Ooooh….after changing my lineup with the first 4 trades – it came to my attention that Ruud van Nistelrooy didn’t play a minute so far so he had to go, along with some midfielders – I scored 68 points. To my surprise almost anyone in the league score about the same or even more (the top score in our Super League this week is 86) :-(
So it’s me down to 14th place, while Mr. Price is up to 3rd with a week score of 77 points.
