i wasn’t writing for some time, this is because i’m doing military service. i’m placed in Bülach, my Unit is called the “Uem/FU RS 62-1 Kp.1 Zug 3″. before xmas, i finished the 8th week, so there are still 13 left….

simon and me took some pictures (sadly only using our mobile phones, as you will notice by the quality of the images). you may find them in my gallery.

Oh and I’ve been playing F.E.A.R. I can only tell you the following: PLAY IT! It is really worth the time. Great scenery and atmosphere, supported by really nice graphics and sound effects. Not only my girlfriend was scared of the shock moments in the game

But I’m ill nevertheless Maybe I’ll be able to work again tomorrow

It was quite impressive down there, as there are some really narrow passages. We did only visit a small part of the whole cave. It wasn’t as cold as it was outside and we had a pleasant stay.

Btw: I added a nice feature to my Gallery: If you add some pictures to your cart, you can download them in a zip

I have been in a cave ond Weissenstein, the Nidlenloch, but I didn’t want to write about without having some pictures… maybe I should write a mail to my dad

Yesterday I updated all my webapplications, if they can be called like this. The WordPress Weblog you’re staring at right now is now version 2.01 and my gallery 2.0.3. There were some flaws in the already installed version. I had to remove the IPB Board because it was really old, nobody used it and I couldn’t get an update for it.

Since 3 weeks, I’m doing practical at Schlüssel Informatik and I try to design a website using Joomla. It is not a bad system, and it is really nice, as long as you want to do what somebody else already did. If there’s a component for Joomla which does exactly what you need, well. Else you have a problem. Especially me, because I don’t know php at all.

Oh, and on tuesday, my Notebook gave up it’s service. The monitor data cable seems to have a disruption, which makes it quite impossible to work with it. It works about 10 minutes after you started the notebook, but then it starts flickering and it gets worse the longer it runs. I brought the notebook to the company I normally work at, and I don’t know yet what they’ll be able to do. Meanwhile, I have another notebook from Schlüssel Informatik, a Samsung X20. I already installed ubuntu on it and it works like a charm. There are only two things which could be better;

• The Display is only 1024×768… My other notebook was 1400×1050
• The Intel graphics chip is slow so I can’t run Xgl (until now)

Oh and I had to visit the military information event on monday… They would better send the documents home, because what they do at this event, could be done using one brochure… But it was easy because I saw a lot of friends i knew from my time in school in Küttigen and Aarau.

Well, the post didn’t get short as I thoght first… Have a good time =)

Update: m0ng, another good friend also opened one, here’s it

And I knew, it was true

Update to Wordpress 2
And it is even better than I expected. They added a lot of nice features. especially for writing a post. It feels more like an application than a web-thing. You can make text Bold with Ctrl+B for example, you can also resize the text field into which you’re writing. It’s just extremely nice!

Changes at work
The company I’m working at is going to grow over this year. We’re also going to code our main application totally different, changing from MS Access to VB.NET, which is a really great step in my opinion. This in mind, I’m not so sure if I’m going to be Tech or Developer.

Problems on CVS Mirror
As a lot of people seem to have noticed, our mirror had some problems. New files weren’t included on the mirror. This led to problems compiling Enlightenment because the developers are heavily adding files at this time.

New blog
Jérôme Matter, the apprentice which will finish this year, also opened a blog. However, I’m not sure whether he’ll post a lot. Here’s the link.

Ski Challenge 06
I’m playing now Ski Challenge 06 together with my oldschool clanmates from MDMA! I visited them this weekend and I just couldn’t resist (well… they forced me ). I’m not really good yet but I already beat the clanleader which was my main goal.

New kladdelan2 pics
Now there are also the pics online which were taken by Güdel. You can find them here
