Great Stop-Motion

A great stop motion movie-fight.

I started of by reading this article on daringfireball , which linked to the blog of gus mueller and an article he wrote about his opinion on the MacHeist “Week of the Independent Mac Developer”. I had never heard of him before (maybe to blame on me) and thought he was a reasonable intelligent person, so i started wondering, what kind of software he creates. I clicked the first link on his blog-links, which led me to the company flying meat . They created the software VodooPad, which is just what i needed to keep my ideas and information in order (it is kind of a wiki-editor which lets you link all kinds of stuff into pages which can be linked again. I downloaded the software and tried it for an hour and ended up buying it, because i loved it instantly.
I am quite shure, that this is not the usual way of software marketing

Go and have a look for yourself !

Somehow the winter doesn’t seem to arrive in Europe. In Switzerland and Austria they have even postponed the start of the ski-season and everyone i talk to tells me of new sprouts in their garden. When i get up in the morning its often more than 12 Degrees Celsius, and it even gets warmer over the day. Watch TV this morning (i switched to an austrian channel by mistake and saw some meteorologist getting asked, if their will be any chance of snow for christmas. He said there is only a small chance for places above 1000 meters. So no white christmas here…

I have been trying to keep up with the video game business for the last 10 years, but have lost it in the last year. I have owned a PS , XBOX , Gameboy, PSP and some older stuff not really worth mentioning. When looking back i realized that i only really used the Gameboy (my wife used it heavily until it fell appart) and the PSP. I like the PSP for its handling of different media (i.e. Movies) which i record with my dreambox and sync with PSPWare to keep the PSP up to date. I have a problem with many of the current games though, because they force you to spend too much time with getting aquinted with the interface, storyline, characters, etc.

So what it comes down to is: I play MaME

I have no idea, when it happend, but my Macbook Pro has started to emit a high whining sound from the upper left of my keyboard. It seems to start when the screen is very bright (eg. white background) and sometimes just stops. I am not alone with this problem and think i will have to bring it into service in the next days. Hopefully i can live without one for a week (they don’t take longer do they?)
