back to the basics

Der Herbst ist schon vorbei und ich habe noch kaum gebloggt
Schande über mein Ex-Informatiker-Haupt °_°’ Ich mache definitiv zu viel RealLife…
Nunja nach der langen Bloggerabstinenz kehre ich nun wieder zurück, ganz zurück, zum Anfang sozusagen. Und was macht man da ??
Richtig… allen Leuten die es wissen, oder auch nicht wissen wollen, Informationen und Überlegungen unter die Nase reiben, was einen beschäftigt
Damit heute mal keine Textwüste entsteht schiebe ich mal hier und da ein paar frisch gemacht Bilder ein

Ich studiere… WoW! (wer jetzt an dieser Stelle denkt ich würde ein gewisses MMORPG studieren liegt falsch…) Aber so richtig bin ich ja noch nicht drin im Studentenleben… keine wilden Partys und ich geh noch regelmässig zu den Vorlesungen.
Nun was mache ich denn eigentlich? Ein Studium Arcanum … erm Maschinenbau natürlich. Zukunftsweisende Energietechnik …jaja zukunftsweisend *sich zunickt*
Ich komme mir zwar noch nicht sehr Ingenieursmässig vor, aber das gibt sich sicher bald
Da ja alle immer so schreihen ! OMG MATHE WTF ! …nein es ist nur halb so schwer wie ich erwartet habe. Was jedoch noch lange nicht heisst, dass ich es gut kann x_X Ich habe für die erste “Klausur” stundenlang gelernt (jeden Tag 1-2 Stunden) und sie trotzdem in den Sand gesetzt … Zum Glück wurde sie noch nicht bepunktet ^^”
Solange nur kein weiteres Problemfach wie Werkstoffkunde dazukommt wird es hoffentlich ohne Komplikationen verlaufen.

Worüber würde ich mich beschweren?:
- über das Mensaessen, teilweise schmeckt es sehr gut (z.B. die Calamaresringe), andererseits gibt es auch Dinge von denen man sich nicht sicher sein kann ob sie nicht doch vielleicht aus irgendwelchen Radioaktiv-verseuchten QUellen kommen. Ok so schlimm ist’s nicht…aber die Frühlingsrolle mit Currywurst-Sauce war graufenvoll x_X
- In dem AudiMax gibt es WLan … sogar bis in die erste Reihe! Allerdings fragt man sich ob die Profs vorne an dem Pult nen ECM haben, da nach Beginn der Vorlesung das WLan spurlos verschwindet. Nurnoch ein paar WLans namens “hallo”, “lol” oder “bitches” sind zu finden…
- blrglarghs!

DELL 1555 mit MikroSatin-Midnight Blue-Oberfläche (jaja ich weiß Staub)

Was ich gut finde?:
- Meine Kommilitonen xD Die meisten sind gut drauf und haben auch in Teilbereichen(!) mehr Wissen/ Fähigkeiten als ich
- Mein Noteb00k ^_^ (credit goes to Oma, die darauf bestand mich beim Studium finanziell zu unterstützen)

Notebook sagst du… du meinst doch nicht etwa diese komischen surrenden Dinger die plötzlich mitten in der Vorlesung piepen weil die Deppen nicht ihren Sound ausstellen können ?

Doch haaaaaargenau diese Dinger.
Nach langem Überlegen und tagelangem Suchen im Netz habe ich mich für einen Däll entschieden. Den auch gleich bestellt und mich am nächsten Tag gefreut dass das “Angebot” mir ganze 460okken erspart hat.
Was ist es und warum ist es das von Dell geworden?

Das Ganze aufgeklappt, Bildschirm aus ( spiegelt stark)

- Ich habe mich für Dell entschieden, weil ich immernoch der Meinung bin dass Qualität ihren Preis hat und ich von Freunden und I-net Kontakten fast nur Gutes über Dell gehört/ gelesen habe. Ausserdem ist es schön sich die besten Komponenten rauszupicken. Vor allem habe ich auch Wert auf energiesparende Komponenten gelegt, sowie auf einen großen Akku. Und innerlich freu ich mir jedes mal nen riiiieeesen Keks wenn die armen “BAM-ich-hab-nen-spielelaptop”-Leute nach 1-2 Vorlesungen ihren Kaptop zuklappen.

Technisch nicht Interessierte können den hier folgenden Abschnitt weglassen, er trägt nicht zum Verständniss zu einem der darauf folgenden Abschnitte bei!
Studio 1555 ~ 850€
- 64 Bit Wintür Vista (“kostenloses” Upgrade auf Win7 – 20€ Zoll/Lieferkosten x_X)
- Intel P7350 (2.0 GHz, 1066 MHz FSB, 3 MB L2 Cache)
- Intel (Centrino) WiFi Link 5300-Mini-Karte, (802.11 a/g/n)
- 4 GB DDR2 ( 800MHz)
- 512 MB ATI Mobility RADEON HD 4570
- 320 GB Satan-Platte (aber 7.200 1/min)
- LiIo-Akku 85Wh (9-Zellen)
- 15,6-Zoll-WXGA-LED-Display (1.366 x 768)
- uuuuund… freaky Mikrosatin Oberfläche °_°’
- HIGHLIGHT: Tastenbeleuchtung … wuhuuu~

Angeschaltet mit eingestecktem Netzstecker

Und nu ?
Werde ich Euch noch mitteilen, was ich bisher für Erfahrung mit der Kiste gesammelt habe:
Abgesehen von einem Leistungstest, benutze ich den Lappi ausschließlich im Energiesparmodus!
- Bei Textverarbeitung und ganz dunklem Bildschirm (WLAN, Tastenbeleuchtung und Sound aus) ~7 Stunden Laufzeit
- Bei Standardeinstellungungen( aktivem WLAN, hellem Bildschirm, Sound und Tastenbeleuchtung) ~6 Stunden Laufzeit
- Beim Benutzen von Rechenintensiveren Programmen z.B. Phun oder Wildfire (CAD) ~5 Stunden Laufzeit
- Nun zu dem interessanten Teil, von einigen heisst es natürlich …ja aber wenn der so lange hällt, dann fehlt doch die Leistung sicher… erm nöh! Ich kann (im Energiesparmodus) Crysis zocken zwar nur auf Mittel/Hoch so flüssig wie es gern habe, aber W0000t! Crysis läuft auf meinem Laptop x_X Und die Laufzeit beträgt dann immernoch gut 2-3 Stunden.

Fazit: ich bin zufrieden und würde es wieder tun! Auch für diesen Preis!

Waaas gibt es noch?

Aaah richtig; Viel Glück / Erfolg dem Bürokrieger-Offiziersanwärter xD
Gwaargh; ich leide unter chronischem Naniwa-Mangel!
Blubb!: Fast vergessen, ICH WAR IM KINO !!
Am Freitag war ich nun, seit langem, mal wieder im Kino. In 3D – also nicht ich sondern der Film.
Hm, ich aber eigentlich auch … Oo und meine Freundin.

Obwohl ich in letztr Zeit nichts von Kinofilmen halte, hat mich dieser total überrascht. Ich fand ihn genial. Eine gute Mischung aus Lustig und Traurig + ein Quantum Trost …erm “Action” meine ich natürlich. Ich höre selbst jetzt immernoch die Musik in meinem Kopf und die Bilder sausen ab und zu mal wieder zum Kuchen vorbei. Ich kann diesen Film jedem empfehlen, der gerne ein bischen Ernst des Lebens zu seiner Comedy hat. Die Charaktere sind super gemacht und passen alle sehr gut. Die Story an sich ist recht knapp, aber es lohnt sich auf jeden Fall sich das Ding anzuschauen. Sentimentale Menschen bitte Taschentücher mitnehmen, es ist nicht Titanic, aber ich habe schon vernommen dass bei einigen die Tränen flossen oO’
Ob es sich lohnt sich das Ganze in 3D anzuschauen kann ich nicht beurteilen, da unser Besuch eig. aus Gutscheinen +5€ (pro Person Zuschlag für 3D weil der Gutschein nur für’s normale Kino galt) bestand.
Aber es hat mir gefallen, also lohnt es sich ^^ Es ist natürlich nicht der Welt-Hit, aber es ist klasse

Achja… Der Film heisst:
“Oben” – ja Ihr lest richtig “oben”… das Gegenstück zu “unten”

bis die Tage
Euer Mattatsu

É bucha!

Como acredito mesmo que “informação é poder”, quero aproveitar esse espaço pra contar minha (péssima) experiência com a marca de computadores Dell e alertar futuros compradores.

Comprei um notebook dessa marca em dezembro de 2007 pra uso doméstico.  No meio deste ano a fonte (carregador) apareceu queimada. Pois bem, sem saber do que se tratava na verdade, adquiri uma segunda fonte achando que a primeira tinha ficado velha. Então, um mês depois a segunda queimou. Percebi que o problema deveria ser no notebook,  pois além de ser muita coincidência 2 fontes queimarem em pouco intervalo de tempo, quando o note inicializava aparecia um aviso dizendo que a bateria não estava sendo reconhecida  havia algumas semanas.

Minha idéia inicial foi, por motivos óbvios, ligar para a Dell. Foi aí que um atendente, sem nunca ter visto o meu notebook, apenas pelo meu relato, me disse que só de saída teria que comprar uma bateria de 9 células nova, porém que era interessante que eu fosse numa assistência qualquer pra ver qual era o problema realmente já que a Dell NÃO POSSUI assistência técnica autorizada para equipamentos fora da garantia. Me passou para o setor de compras no qual uma mocinha me falou que por uma bagatela de quase R$ 600,00 reais eu poderia adquirir uma bateria nova.

Pensei: me ralei. Estou f.

Levei em um técnico no centro de Porto Alegre  e quando cheguei lá, só pela cara do rapaz já fiquei cheia de maus pressentimentos, achando mesmo que a solução seria bem simples: a lata do lixo. Após algumas semanas de análise, fui informada que a peça (um componente da placa-mãe) havia entrado em curto circuito e que não havia como fazer a reposição.

Já quase sem esperanças levei o notebook para uma segunda assistência, em frente à anterior. Lá me deram um laudo de que o problema era outro. Tentei ligar de novo para a Dell e dessa vez fui informada de que poderiam fazer um diagnóstico do problema pelo telefone, mas para isso precisaria que o computador estivesse ligado. Porém, é obvio que não ligaria ele em fonte alguma sob o risco de danificar mais um equipamento.  O atendente só teve a me dar os pêsames pois não havia outra maneira de me ajudar. Voltei à assistência (do centro) e autorizei o conserto num valor de R$ 250, 00, com garantia de 3 meses. Um dia depois peguei o computador pronto e até agora não deu problema algum.

Apesar de ter bons computadores, infelizmente não é possível confiar em uma empresa que não disponibiliza assistência técnica apropriada e de fácil acesso para seus produtos que não estão mais na garantia. Ou seja, é preciso mendigar atendimento, correr atrás de peças caras e escassas, ou então adquirir planos de garantia estendida que custam pequenas fortunas. Ah, ainda há saída desesperada de desistir do seu notebook com problema, jogá-lo no lixo, contribuindo para a enorme lixeira digital que vem se tornando nosso mundo, e comprar um micro novinho em folha (e assim não se incomodar pelo menos até vencer sua garantia). Simples: basta comprar DELL.

Dell adamo xps

o grande concorrente do macbook, grande? num sei, quem sabe, mas é tão fino quanto… o Dell Adamo XPS tem 0,999 cm de espessura, contra 1,93 cm do Macbook Air, e também desbancou o ADAMO antigo que tinha 1,65 cm

Irá custar $1,799, o Adamo XPS. this laptop features a 1.4-GHz ULV processor, 13.4 polegadas, 128GB SSD, 4GB of DDR3 RAM, Windows 7, e bateria que dura cerca de 2.5 horas.

 

oKOK VEJA!! mais

 

  

DESCULPE MEU PALAVRIADO MAS VAI TOMAR NO CU, É FINO PRA CARALHO, COMO Q ESSES PAU NO CU CONSEGUEM? PARABENS PRA ELES

 

PRA MIM É DE PAPELÃO!!! eu sei q CD é coisa velha ja.. mas como vai colocar o CD do windows aí??

Dell Adamo XPS

Dell por fin ha desvelado el que nos atrevemos a nombrar como el portátil más bello creado hasta la fecha.

Pero el Dell Adamo XPS

no solo es precioso, sino extremadamente delgado, con un grosor de solo 9.9. mm. Y pese a esa delgadez, el Dell Adamo XPS se presenta con 4 GB de memoria DDR3, procesador Intel Core 2 Duo a 1.4 Ghz de bajo voltaje y disco SSD de 128 GB de capacidad. Lástima que la gráfica sea una solución integrada.

En cuanto a la pantalla, es de 13.4 pulgadas con resolución 720p. Pese a ese tamaño, el peso del Adamo XPS es de solo 1.3 kg.
Dejando de lado las especificaciones, hay detalles que Dell ha incorporado a este Dell Adamo XPS y que marcan la diferencia, aunque la utilidad de alguno sea más bien superficial.

Nos ha gustado el que al abrir el portátil, el chasis de la Adamo XPS se levanta para inclinar el teclado y mejorar la posición a la hora de escribir con él y para que la refrigeración sea más óptima. El teclado por cierto es retroiluminado, con las teclas de aluminio. En cuanto al trackpad, es táctil y podemos usar gestos.
El cierre, como se esperaba, es capacitivo. Para abrir el equipo solo tenemos que deslizar el dedo por el cierre. Pero no esperemos que se levante, simplemente facilita la apertura.

Del resto de características destacamos la conectividad WiFi n, los dos puertos USB (tres hubiera estado mucho mejor) y Ethernet.

El Dell Adamo XPS sale a la venta en enero a un precio que partirá de los 1.700 dólares. Lo hará con Windows 7.

Ken Segall - the Man Who Dreamed Up the Name “iMac” & Wrote the "Think Different" Campaign.

“Cult of the Mac” interviewed the author behind the famous “Think Different” Campaign. In addition to the “Think Different” campaign, Ken Segall was also the person who put the “i” in “iMac” when the product was first introduced. Interestingly, Steve Jobs did not like the “iMac” moniker when it was first purposed…but the name prevailed and the rest is history.

The interview was a very interesting read (and I highly recommend it) because it showed the kind of micro-management perfectionist-style Steve Jobs does at Apple Inc. Something as simple as a product name had to be perfect and Jobs made sure it was right. Not many would care to print a product name on prototypes “just to see what it looked like.” The article also showed the passion from which Apple products are created from. Segall, who also worked with Dell, mentioned the difference between Apple and the rest:

“Dell and Apple: It’s night and day,” Segall says. “It’s a transactional world Dell lives in. It’s all about numbers. Everything they say about Apple making products for themselves is true. Apple — it’s about changing the world. For everyone else, it’s about the money.”

Победа или поражение?

Добрые дяди из Valve предоставили народу игру Team Forterss 2 всего за 3$. Шикарно. Когда-то давно играл через замысловатые обходы защиты, которые каждый раз фиксили и обламывали этим народ. Теперь все изменилось! Я наконец купил эту чертову игру!

Да еще и апгрейд компа почти закончен. Куплены: Мышка, клавиатура, монитор, колонки, + скоро доставят коврик для мыши. Скоро устрою у себя полный разбор баламутных проводов, которые сплелись в один чертов кокон и отказываются как-либо слушаться своего хозяина. Новый монитор – Dell 2009W, мышка – Razer Lachesis, клавиатура – Razer Lycosa, колонки сабвуфер от набора BBK MA-840S (ибо колонки заменил).

Это все относится к победе (смотри название поста), так что же я отнес к поражению?..

На радостях начал рушить отношения с приятными для меня людьми, всяческими признаниями в любви и прочей сопутствующей хренью. Причем, не очень хорошо помню, как и почему я сказал знакомой “я люблю тебя”. Тем не менее, новый монитор радует всем. Только сейчас будет немного болезненный для меня переход с разрешения 1280х1024 на 1680х1050.

"Ferrata delle Trincee" a once in a lifetime experience

“Ferrata delle Trincee” that was the name of our last hike (after two weeks in Solden Austria and a week in Italy) – the date 09/09/09 and I’ll never forget it. There are not enough adjectives in the dictionary to describe the thrill and awe of this full day in the mountains with the owner of the hotel of which we were staying – Michael, of WanderHotel Europa. No wonder the Italians are so proud of their Dolomites. The views are spectacular where ever you walk, sit, enjoy coffee, hike or climb.

It all started with a last minute retrieval of safety equipment. My brother Rick and I had never hiked “via ferrata” which means “Iron Way” in Italian. Michael takes his guests on routine hikes that range from 10 kilometers to as many as 18. Additionally, they include ascents of up to 1500 meters and or descents of up to 3000 meters (often you are airlifted via a “gondola” to a higher elevation to start your day.)

But this day was different. It was Michael’s day off. He wanted to hike without the group and wanted to thank my brother for coming back as a repeat customer. Rick is an enthusiastic maniac when it comes to the mountains, later on that in a moment. We were to meet Michael at 0700am. Neither of us had slept much as the sheer excitement of our first rock climb was at daybreak. We jumped into Michael’s new Audi (a machine made for Europe with it’s “Quattro” wheel technology) and took off to this mammoth of a mountain. The ride (an hour) was a thrill in itself. Mind-boggling curves, views, speed and control is what this 60-minute ride delivered while going through multiple quaint and beautiful Italian towns.

Exactly on the hour we arrived. There was a chill in the air, the clouds were low and we couldn’t even see where we were to climb. In hindsight, that was a good thing. We were in long pants, full-length shirt and jacket, pack, polls and a liter and half of water. Off we go, straight up. Within 10 minutes we were shedding the long sleeve jackets and rolling up the shirtsleeves. After a brief stop, it was onwards and upwards. Nonstop upwards. An hour later Michael said we had reached our first level with only one more to go. My face is drenched in sweat, my glasses are on my head as the heat from my breath and cold from the air rendered them virtually useless. I’m thinking to my self, great we’re half way there — not exactly.

The clouds were beginning to break. Far off in the distance I could see the top of an amazing mountain. I can honestly tell you that not for a moment did I think we could get there, or we were going there, or were going to climb that monster in a day much less at all. I just put my head down and plowed upwards. Michael has grown up in these mountains and for him it was a cakewalk. For myself however, the lactic acid in my muscles was beginning to burn. The kind you think is good for you as you push your outer limits. Even my brother Rick was dripping in sweat and kept looking back at me as in somewhat disbelief. As we continued onwards the clouds had given a clear picture of this behemoth of a mountain. I’m thinking he’s got to be kidding. Michael said there it is, we just need to beat that group of (10 hikers) ahead of us to the starting point so we need to move. Both Rick and I looked at each other and all enthusiasm was replaced with fear. Plane and simple, we were scared but not about to show it. Fatigued had already set in and we needed to hustle to the “via ferrata” hiking point before this group. I might add they were a good 200 yards ahead of us on a steep ascent.

Michael chose to abandon the trail and chose the straight line to our launching pad. Absolutely brutal, I was sucking air now more than ever. Big deep breadths when I could gather them. Finally after 150 minutes of burning and churning up the mountain we beat this group by a hair. I was surprised we climbed as fast as we did for how far we had come and the ascent of which was the steepest in our three weeks and estimated 80 miles of hiking. It’s amazing what a little testosterone, adrenaline and ego will do to get you where you need to be. We weren’t about to show weakness, no way, no how, period. After all the easy part (ha!) was over. Now it was time to buckle up, strap on the gear, bust out the helmet and start an absolute vertical ascent via iron cables built by the Italian military during World War I.

As a treat we received a heck of a history lesson from Michael. Their military used these mountains to protect their country from the enemy. At the top of these jaw dropping peaks were caves that the survivors lived in for four years during the war. Many lives were lost in these mountains and you can see why. A simple slip and a life is lost. Imagine dodging bullets and aircraft fire while trying not to fall off 1000 ft drop at 8500 ft. During storms the cables were a risky option. If just one bolt of lightning struck the cable the jolt would rip through the entire cable (top to bottom) killing anyone that may have had their grip on it. During the winter it was like holding on to ice and in the rain, equally as difficult. But they did, and they survived at least many of them. And by god, if they could in those conditions, that long ago we could today. Yeah right.

Rick was right behind Michael. In a crash course to beat the group ahead my brother didn’t quite catch on as fast as he wanted. After all, it was a straight vertical no easy rocks jetting out and he found himself in a quandary. Fortunately, the guide from the group recognized Rick was no pro. As he struggled, the guide explained the technique and pushed his right foot into a slot that would give him a break to grab his cleavers and move them upwards. Needless to say all that huffing and puffing up the mountain didn’t help because we were both exhausted. We let the group pass us up on the first possible ledge. The pressure was now off and Rick got clearer guidance from Michael. He suggested that Rick follow him and I follow Rick. I love my brother but is this a good idea I’m thinking? If he slips, I’m history. I agreed and Rick caught on and did well. Our first “iron way ascent” took the better part of 45 minutes to reach the top. Shortly thereafter was a bridge built between two peaks in 1916. We crossed it with beaming smiles. We had made it. Were we done? Not even. Another three hours of rock climbing and hiking prevailed as we scaled and descended in different points that dropped off into oblivion. Our final destination at the top was to reach a WWI tunnel that was 100 meters in length. You could see various points of machine gunning, areas to sleep or hide out and exits to run to if needed. We celebrated, ate a sandwich, said a prayer and descended and hiked another 5 miles to our car. All in all it was an amazing day. One in a lifetime sounds like a cliché but it was exactly that, a one in a lifetime experience. Thank you Michael, my brother Rick and above all God.
