Well, I opened my account two days ago…and I gotta say I really enjoy “playing” and some of my moves are already paying off:

Learn baby learn…(update)

Man, my head is full. I guess there would be still more to do, but I just can’t focus anymore. Time that this exam is over (will be approx. 11:40 german time tomorrow)…Wish me luck :-)

Week 6

Ingoal’s score: 24 pts
Mr. Price’s score: 17 pts
:-)

:-(
to my ranking though: dropped to 13th place….I guess Mr. Price isn’t the right person to orientate oneself…

Learn baby learn…

…exam inferno…learn baby learn. Exam is coming up this friday morning, so I got today, tomorrow and thursday left to get all the stuff into my head. What kind of exam is that you might ask. The exam is an oral one which will have a maximum duration of 20 minutes. The topic is “research and development management” and the script I’ve got to get into my head is 559 pages! :-(

Good thing I started to learn early on (note: lie)…

Ah well…I worked my way through the script in the last 3 days and now all I’ve got to do is get the summary of it (I always do my own summary on such huge scripts which brings the important stuff, or at least the stuff I think will be important, down to far less pages – in this case 39 A4-pages) into my head. Then it’s time to warm up my mouth on friday morning and the flood of words can begin ;-)

Wish me luck :-)
I’ll give you an update after the exam on friday afternoon…

FCM II 7-0 Spvgg Schlößlesfeld II

Posted on by

Rain rain rain. So we had to play on artificial turf, yet again, but as it’s also our training pitch we’re quite used to it anyway so no worries. After a lot of missed opportunities we finally score the go ahead goal and two more followed till half time, 4 more in the second half.

Not a brilliant game, but we did what we had to do and are now only 2 points behind first place with the “clash of the titans” 2nd (we) vs. 1st (Dersim Ludwigsburg) coming up on October 10th.

Personal: played the last 15minutes :-) , referee ruled me offside twice (one wrong decision)…no shot on goal :-(

Burnout 3 – Takedown

Posted on by

Inspired by AntiMatter’s (of Nuclear Moosecandy) Review of the PS2 version I thought this game was worth getting. So I went out and got the Xbox version and I gotta say: now that’s a fun game. I didn’t have the chance to play all that much yet, but I’m already intrigued by the whole concept.

It’s not really what you might consider a “normal racing game”. You gotta take (sometimes huge) risks to be fast and successfull – and the bigger the risk, the bigger the reward (turbo). But you gotta be careful not to take too many risks as the (spectacular!) crashes can really throw you back. I think this will be my new favourite racing game (up to this point it was: Need for Speed Underground – but I already completed that months ago, so no big challenge in it anymore) and I’m sure there will be many hours of playing with this one!

Week 5

Oooooh….climbing that mountain, hehe.

Ingoal – 26pts (177 total)
Mr. Price – 20 pts (193 total)

Still in 11th place though, so it’s time to really get into gear now…maybe I should trade a little more.

Amazon launches search engine (A9)

Posted on by

Hmm…Amazon ended beta testing and has officially launched it’s very own search engine called A9.

I just tested a little and it really reminds me of Google especially when I search for my own sites. I guess I should read a little as I’m really interested what type of ranking etc they’re using to optimize their search results, what kind of crawler they’re using etc…

update: now that makes sense, A9 uses the Google search engine along with other helpful resources like IMDb. So I guess the only “true innovation” is their user-specific preferences (cookies need to be enabled). I guess they’re using the history etc for statistics and placement of results (similiar to the “customers who bought x also bought y” on amazon)…

SGV Hochdorf II 0-2 FCM II

Result: :-)

A really bad game on a worse pitch…2 late goals secure 3 important points….there were times where we would have lost such a game.

Personal: hmm…a 14 player squad…so almost guaranteed playing time one may think….bah! 10 seconds…ooooh… :x :-( [Strike 2]

GMail Invites…final post

Posted on by

So…this is going to be my final post concerning GMail invites…I’m tired of having them on my back, and wandering around I came across Isnoop gmailomatic…you can send your gmail invites to them and they’ll add them to their pool…

If a user wants one he can simply enter his email-address and he will get one from the pool! Cool idea…

/heads over to gmail and sends invites to isnoop…

New template…

Posted on by

It might have come to your attention right away that I’ve made a little template switch. The switch came due to the bad readability of the used template (brown/black). I switched to the much applauded gemini template…I know it’s not perfect yet, but it’s already late again…so don’t expect any wonders today…I’ll try to edit it asap:

To-Do List:

  • Maybe add header pic again
  • Work on color-theme, especially menu (contrast calendar, etc)
