Got to love the Boattail design! Following Adamos link, it seems they really are about to shut down production. Really sad. I love the design of their fire trucks. Very much like the old MAN KAT. ("Lick your car/favorite truck" contest anyone? :P) As for work: everything is going just too ...

For beginners there should be something like a FAQ or a "first steps" compendium. There is a Beginners FAQ for Conflux on the wiki, written by some bigmouth promising much, but not keeping any of those promises (yes, me). It doesn't include the features added in 3.5, though. So if you wis...

Truely a nice find! Thank you.
I've downloaded Wizardry 6 and it works like a dream. Just by clicking on an exe, no fiddling with DOSbox and patched up to have max bonus points for character creation. No more spending an entire weekend to create a decent party with Samurai and Ninja.

Now the kitchen in Conflux suddenly becomes a scary place. (I bet something weird happens when you kill the golden rats using thrown stuff. Probably drop a spanish fly for the horny pillar) We need that friggin source, so you code-heads can have your way with it. Anyway: Thank you, Mitch! Lot's of p...

Growing up in direct neigbourhood to the largest psychiatric clinic in the south of Germany and doing 3 month of community service at that place , my views on this subject may be a bit "clinical". I have no idea what I would do if it was my mom, so I can just think of this in terms of a &q...

There is no real advice that can be given here, so other than our best wishes and hopes people can be of little help about what you are going through right now. Here is my lame attempt of advice anyway: If she is behaving irrational, you probably can't reach her in a sane and rational way. If you ca...

We've been playing WarCraft2 on the Uni Server to the point of calling people by the default names of the multiplayer battle. So every semester had at least one Ramsey. :-) Perfect balancing of the units aside, there is one thing in StarCraft2 (multiplayer against uber players) I heard of that seems...

I guess it isn't done this way any more, Sophy. ;-) You can grab full blue ray HD images of the net, ususally the next day of the premiere. The leaky spot is the projectionist or even the editing department of the movie company, as some movies are available before they even can be seen in the cinema...

Stunning visuals (and the way they reach your visual cortex) may help to make a better movie (or game) for sure and it's certainly true for a already -good- movie, watched for the first time, spoiled by using a device not really suited for it. It may even prevent building up the atmosphere needed to...

oops, my bad.

[the movie - just in case you havn't seen it yet] The way Holmes character was set up is intriguing. Young, brilliant, psychopathic, drug-abusing, sharing quite a bit of the dark side of Moriarty. I've very much enjoyed this movie (and the music). They did a good job, restaging these old b/w flicks.

Seen this movie on the BIG screen (of a Pocket PC). People seem to be very different in what they like and dislike when it comes to movies. I guess there are people in existence who didn't like Terminator 2. I stopped at the point where it turned from "Matrix" into "James Bond". ...

Rain chamber was fun! I didn't get... eh, wet. What's more important: this project (testing a cowl) is now finished and I can send a invoice. I didn't receive a single cent in 2010 yet, so it's quite welcome. I'm ashamed to admit I didn't even know Tatra is still in business. That Tatra central tube...

Researchers at three hospitals in Frankfurt, Germany did an in-depth analysis of 200 healthy males over a period of five years. Half the volunteers were instructed to ogle at the breasts of women daily , while the rest were told to refrain from doing so . Yet again we manage to outgerman ourselfes....

Wow! You're feeding me with good info here. Great links! Thank you! I'm sucking it up. :-) I'm just starting to collect knowledge on this field of human madness. For the rest of the week I will be burried deep into the intestines of the Daimler and locked into Mophus's lair. Two words: "golden ...

*LOL* What a great picture! Definitely gonna use it. :D It shows an extreme of the compromise you'd have to make between a high mine protection class and cross country mobility. The Unimog (as well as the G) has a traditional frame design, so right now the protection layer is more or less flat and m...

Meh. It's just clicking on colourful buttons. The real work was done by a drunken Frenchman and a stoner Irish. Mr. Navie and Mr. Stokes. 150 years ago. What you can see in the vid is the original bulletproof grille, which consists of overlapping "V" shaped elements. They made the grille b...

bluhh... so tired... must... work harder... some... more coffee... in head...

YAY! I'm all in! And busy. Thanks again for the nice words. :D It feels a bit wrong to work for military purposes, but the fact someone actually cares for what you do equals it somewhat. (this is the major difference compared to a giant like Daimler) Kehrwoche and hard work is what makes a swabian h...

Thank you for the nice words! (auch und gerade die DEUTSCHEN ).

Just returned from the meeting. 3 hours in total of which 20 minutes belonged to me. Very shirtsleeved.

It's all good. I didn't screw it.

I will now start working, so there can be proof tomorrow morning that my solution will work.

After wading through several kneedeep swamps of excrement and drinking gallons of horse piss the last months, there must be a lucky day in my life somewhen. Or so I thought. On sunday I've been underneath my truck, changing the engine starter. (hey, it's a hobby, so it's ok to do it on sunday) A G55...

Wow! I don't know what to say.

You're a Daddy now!

Congratulations!

Have fun with CSB once you're done with DM. I've only finished CSB once in my life, back on the Atari ST and it took almost a year. Rumours were spread it is possible to finish CSB in something like 7 minutes. I'm sure there were strange relativistic effects involved in this. Back when I first playe...

Talking about aliens (and pusses)... We look up to the sky, pointing to the stars, wondering if they pay us a visit some day. They are here already. Roaming the deep sea. http://www.dravenstales.ch/wp-content/uploads/blogger/_9b0G3smyp04/R452CQ5RpQI/AAAAAAAACJQ/pCcMvkQ6LaY/s400/tiefsee3a.jpg [Star T...

One day they will remove all those warning labels and let things develop naturally again. There are 3 spelling errors on my (american) ex-army truck: - no smoking withain 20 feet - antifreze checked - hearing protection reguired These labels were put on by people who shoot other people. With guns. P...

The last game managing to give me true nightmares (beside being constantly chased by ugly non-scanline grey pixels huge as houses) was "Dead Space". It haunted me in my dreams as well as in wake times. I'm still suspicious of man-hole covers and now fully understand the fear horses have fo...

Welcome back, Zach! I hope you will enjoy your stay. Don't worry about not being of much use in terms of coding or graphics. I'm a completely useless piece of junk and yet have somehow managed not to get banned. All banworthy offenses are projected upon Trantor anyway, who will happily take the ban ...

Hey! The date at the court went well. I've been drunk and feeling ok, which happens seldomly enough. Sorry if my trying to give this thread direction toward the coder/geek/user evolution funny thing looked like arguing. Today a friend of mine opened his game shop (it's called "ZOC", which ...

*meh. I'm furrily drunk&stoned. I still think it is fun to read.* This is about money. What I get for the money I spend. Money is your time. Time you spend to get it. Lifetime. Now 600 bucks are something I spend to cover my fixed cost for a month. I won't give this covered month away for someth...

SOPHIA HAS AN IPAD! SOPHIA HAS AN IPAD! SOPHIA HA... Did you know they put user DNA on that things? Now you are infected. Slowly, yet steady you will loose your knack for coding. Visual Basic will frighten you! You come across a flash animation and wonder how he did it. Clueless you will look at an ...
