Arrived

Yesterday evening, it has arrived. I'm so excited!



Just after Christmas, I ordered a Lenovo Thinkstation S10, which seems to be a fine workstation with 4GB RAM, quad core Intel processor, nVidia graphics accelerator and SATA hard disk.

After unpacking, i didn't hesitate to boot it up and sure it was loud as hell. At initial startup, all the fans are running at full power to quickly burst for a few seconds. If this monster would have been that loud all the time, I couldn't run it at night or else I would wake up the neighbours living on the other side of the street.

Life before development

Winter-time is time for sentimentality. That's a short video about tube notching technology where I participated. It was filmed years before I became a professional software developer:

The background music is an Oxygene-like theme based on Jean-Michel Jarre's music. There have been a few more videos produced.

Happy 2009!

I wish everyone a happy new year! May it bring newly found prosperity, love, happiness and delight into your life.

Gift to myself

Can't wait until the X-Mas gift to myself arrives. The baby is going to be treated well, i promise, but please hurry up. Hope to get it assembled before 17. January, but I heard that they're short on stock. So it may be late for the upcoming LAN party.

Ein hybscher Eiszapfen - genauso filigran und zerbrechlich, wie der PHP-Code den ich heute anfassen durfte.
