No Real New Year Resolution but goals for 2008

December 30th, 2007 at 23:29 » Comments (10)

Update: Thanks to Henrik for noticing that the title of the blog entry was ‘….2007′ and not ‘…2008′ as it should be.. Shame on me.
I was never much into New Year resolutions, often they sounded as bad excuses for delaying something you already could get started with, such as “In 2008 I’m going to stop […]



Jokes: Prison Vs Work

December 18th, 2007 at 16:38 » Comments (4)

I just saw following Prison Vs Work jokes over at jDonuts and just had to mention it.
To mention just one of them:
IN PRISON…you must deal with sadistic wardens.
AT WORK…they are called managers
The jokes are all a bit too true and that’s a bit scary but I will at any time choose work over prison.
Head over […]



Monitors on My Mind, I need a Square Monitor

December 18th, 2007 at 0:12 » Comments (13)

I have often been wondering why monitors are like they are; why don’t they make square monitors.
Let’s have a look at previous/current monitors and why I think that wide screen monitors often are no good.
There does exist monitors with other resolutions than the below mentioned once, specially if you look at the notebooks, but the […]



Come on, turn that computer off

December 13th, 2007 at 20:47 » Comments (10)

Oh no, don’t turn the computer off now, do read this first.
Lot’s of people don’t turn their computers off when they are finished with them; either at home or at their work place. This is just something I don’t understand.
I’m pretty sure they turn their TV, Radio and lights off (in most cases), so why […]

Down under and why not up over

December 12th, 2007 at 0:41 » Comments (2)

One of my friends (whom I also work with) lives in Australia and I hear him from time to time use the expression “Down under”, such as “That’s all from down under” and I have also used it myself as “How goes down under?”
As most people know; ‘down under’ refers to Australia (and New Zealand) […]



DoomCube.com is live

December 7th, 2007 at 20:58 » Comments (2)

My good friend Paul Conway finally got his web site live today; I have been following the creation of it over the last few weeks and got to admit that the final result is pretty good.
Background on Paul is that he is a freelance graphics artist; specialized in game art/graphics but this does not mean […]



Johnny Cash and Wet Trailer

December 5th, 2007 at 12:48 » Comments (0)

In mid October I saw the trailer/teaser for the upcoming game Wet (Sierra Entertainment, Artificial Mind); what made this trailer stand out compared to other game trailers was not that it features a good looking woman or that it was a violent trailer. Nope, seen that too often now, what made it stand out […]



Amazon and impressive $0.01 discount on iPod touch

December 4th, 2007 at 22:41 » Comments (6)

I guess that everybody would like to get the best price when they buy an iPod touch; often you don’t find any special offers as Apple controls the prices. Sure we had a case recently with a newly opened store here in Switzerland where they were offering a 10% discount on all items in their […]
