OK, after a rather long hiatus (over 2 years), I decided to reactivate this blog and get rid of my last MT-powered blog.

Because I was curious, I decided to give Wordpress a spin.

I broke all the old URLs (bad Alex, no cookie), but at least the old content came over to the new incarnation.

Saw fuckthatjob.com featured on movabletype.org, and just had to follow that link, the name was too enticing.

And it really delivers. Insane job offerings and venting galore.

If you can read this, then I managed to post this entry via Blogical, my Perl-GTK MovableType client.
As soon as I have cleaned up the code, I’ll put up a page for it, maybe someone else can use this thing, too.

Woke up with a sore throat.
I can feel the cold slowly taking over my body, and of course, this happens in the week where I have 2 things I am looking forward to. On Thursday, Birgit and me will go and see “XXX”, that’s going to be an entertaining evening, judging from all the reviews I’ve read about “XXX”.
And on Saturday, we’ll spend most of the day in Essen, at the Essen Game Fair, which is the biggest european gaming event. But it’s not just a con, they’ve got all kinds of games, for the whole family. The best thing about it is, that a lot of US companies will be there, selling their games for really great prices. I’m hoping that Z-Man games, makers of Shadowfist will be there with some of the older expansions. Or even better, with the new basic set “10.000 Bullets”.
But there’s also good news. I finally found the “Thunder Road” version of “Rain King” by the Counting Crows. It’s not the one from 2000 in Cologne, but it’s still a great cover.

The reason why I haven’t updated for a while: Unreal Tournament 2003 Demo
I’ve been playing the Linux demo for a while now, and it’s a great game. What really impresses me, is that is playable on my rather old box (Duron 800, Geforce 2 MX). OK, it’s just in 640*480, but it works, is reasonably fast, and great fun.

We need more Press Releases like this one:

By way of crackmonkey:
Evite: War on Iraq!!

I should print this out and clobber all those so-called ‘web designers’ with it: Alphabet Soup
