A good friend of mine got me hooked into Terraria. This is like Minecraft in 2D with less bugs and better programming Anyway - If for some reason you shouldn't have heared about it, give it a try!

Oh, and by the way - Happy new year and a great start into 2012 my friends!

Finished packing for holiday... off to the mountains and to climbing the "Jungfrau", "Mönch" and "Eiger". I might post photos and routes if I get the chance to hook to a bts with my phone

The dragon is on with new hardware

nospam@example.com (FinFarenath) — Mon, 08 Aug 2011 06:03:02 +0000

Fetched my net hardware last week and started to install, compile and configure all things o the new server this weekend. A lot of work and a lot of things I haven't done for in a while... but was kind of fun most of the time-- save for when things didn't work as they should

Anyway... guess by next weekend I'll have the new server installed and ready to be exchanged with the one running at the it center at the moment.

About producers and consumers

nospam@example.com (FinFarenath) — Tue, 21 Jun 2011 20:26:00 +0000

There is always this difference between people who are producers or those who are consumers. This is, in general a very deeply rooted difference in the mindset of those two groups. Like, producers rather get their joy and fun from creating and producing things, whilst consumers just want to be entertained and consume things others produced.

The very fun thing is when someone labels himself a producer and talks about this and that what he's done and doing and now suddenly meets a group of real producers who obviously recognize him as a consumer only Well - desaster is in the agenda. Its like, producers just see things that have to be done, and exceed in this by not only do what is needed to be done by themselves, but also do things they could or should be done in addition to make something good to become something brilliant or even perfect.

Consumers rarely even meet the "do what is needed to be done" mark by themselves and most of the time just wait that "someone else will do this" or wait for others to tell them what they should do. And in a creative environment where a team is building up for something to create ideas out of the void, building up a show there is no room for convenient cunsumption of things when creating unter a timeline with a set point in time where everything needs to be finished.

But don't get me wrong - consumers are perfectly allright - yet not suited for a team of producers. They can sit back on a couch and consume while having fun with other consumers But time and experience showed that most of the time producers just move to fast and to selfmotivated in comparison to consumers.

So - what are you? Consumer or producer - If you enjoy going to the pictures, have fun and afterwars maybe talk about it with friends how you liked it, you mght be a consumer. If you also start having ideas of your own and start to write a script, plan filming gather a crew and start making your own film that you like, you surely are a producer.

Still there..

nospam@example.com (FinFarenath) — Thu, 10 Mar 2011 08:37:02 +0000

Nothing much to talk about those days really. Just the usual much work to do, much chores around the house and getting ready for spring. Heating up the bbq ideas for the first sunny and slightly warmer weekends. Till then...

Just another trend...

nospam@example.com (FinFarenath) — Sat, 19 Feb 2011 08:02:47 +0000

And just another trend in the internet popped up. If you can't live your live without facebook, twitter, googel latitude and second life anymore and possibly have a favour for being better then others because you have more achievements unlocked...

Have a go with foursqare.com - there is jet another cool, but totaly empty sozial site.

Watson

Impressive entry for nlp this week. The tech behind it is realy promising and fun to read for every thecnologicaly interested mind... but watching the show, where watson performed in public in the gameshow jeopardy was great. Also, seeing inherit humor that was unintended, but came out great.

Alex: It makes the heart a flutter and comes in an instant. Men and women become weak from it. Kingdoms have been brought down by it and Tina Turner sang of it.

Watson: What is Heart Disease?

Alex: Wrong

Ken: What is Love?

Alek:: Correct

Watson: Love is an illogical human emotion which hinders the progress of man, in essence, making humans illogical. Humanity is an imperfect species which must be remedied in order to obtain perfection...by any means necessary.

Alek: O.O

Brad: O.O

Ken: O.O

Heavy Rain

nospam@example.com (FinFarenath) — Mon, 07 Feb 2011 12:13:40 +0000

PLayed through Heavy Rain this weekend. A good friend of mine brought this game with him and what began as an interest for just "having a peek" at the game, tourned out to be a full day long session of playing through the mame. Was a lot of fun though. If you haven't already plaed it, I can recommand this game ^..^

Current Music: Jack Wall - Mass Effect 2 - The Illusive Man

Well... Hi ;)

nospam@example.com (FinFarenath) — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 13:32:21 +0000

Guess I just want to give a little ping. Haven't posted something of interest in the public section for some time... looks a lot deserted in ihere

Nothing of much interest

nospam@example.com (FinFarenath) — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 08:17:35 +0000

Well well, nothing to write here realy. I'm rather busy and most of the time away, visiting freinds or having friends at my place. So - just wanted to say hi to the world, to let everyone, I am not in touch with on a daily basis, know that I'm good

Surgery...

nospam@example.com (FinFarenath) — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 08:15:51 +0000

My car broke down on me last weekend. The surgery of its hydraulics seems to cost me a fortune. Guess I have to wait for the final word from the local car mechanic this noon. I only hope it will not be too expensive.

Some posts

nospam@example.com (FinFarenath) — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 08:42:00 +0000

Well, I've been asked a lot lately to post more public posts in my diary.

On one paw, true - I wasn't writing public posts for some time now. I rather had a lot to say about my personal life and mostly rather personal topics that are not meant for the everyone John Doe out there in the web. But then again, I hadn't hat much to talk about that was so much of general interest, that it was worth writing about in my public section.

And then again - there are, as it seems some people out there who still don't have a personal login to my diary and who can only read my public posts - which I haven't made for some time now.

Well, I guess I will try to write a bit more ( actually a little bit more then nothing at least ) in my public section for all those who don't have or don't want to have an account.

Changes and some cleaing up

nospam@example.com (FinFarenath) — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 07:48:02 +0000

A lot of changes and things are happening at the moment. So I just wanted to let you all know I am still here, but somehow sunk in a lot of things that progress here those weeks. I will slowly try to make some posts and also have done a few updates around my lair here in the web. Maybe you can spot them... just take a look to my art section
