what was happening yesterday? i finally finished the psp game killzone liberation, one of the best portable games i know so far (including old-school gameboy).  thats about it on the private side. still need to look at the psp programming, too tired today. if everything goes well this weekend then i will have some cool code on the psp for monday to show my colleages. but actually i hope the weekend runs great then i will be too distracted with a veery sweet girl i wanna get to know better, then no time for the psp :) at work i finally had hands-on-experience why copy-constructors are so important in C++ while they are so minor in .NET, mostly having todo with (what else) the lack of garbage collection and the presence of pointers and explicitly reserved memory in c++. and even more so when you are using STL containers. but more on that maybe at some other time. i'll continue listening to fine dead meadow cd "old growth" now, isnt that a fine album. yes it iz.

thuesday i watched SIENA ROOT in the arena. if you like deep purple from how they sounded in the early 70s, then you should check out that band. they had a tough challenge, because topping Dead Meadow, the band i watched on monday was nearly impossible.  there were even less people than on monday, i begin to fear that the arena will have to cancel their stoner events if so few people are interested in them. if i could be convinced that there is a god i'd pray that they continue. well, anyways: the band had another obstacle which was that their singer had to return home because of a death case in the family. for other genres this would mean the end of the tour, but as they are doing psychedelic they just decided to do an instrumental tour. i had my doubts if it could be good, because thats not what they usually do so but the concert was quite ok. yes, nothing compared to dead meadow, but they put effort into the show and made a good gig. for 2 songs they even had a sitar player play...

on monday i had the honor of watching dead meadow play live in vienna. for everybody not knowing them, and i am most certain most, if not all readers are in that category, go, get a cd and listen to it!. .... well, ok actually to be honest i am pretty sure if you do that without being into psychedelic or stoner rock you wont like them, they are quite a heavy intro to that genre. you could try it anyway i am pretty sure it helps a lot when you are stoned  ;) ok, back to the gig. it was in the  arena, in my opinion the best place to play for a band in whole vienna  (and bands like bad religion and color haze agree with that) and the band started at about 10PM. the band that played before them were a local austrian band which meant that they sucked like nearly every austrian band does. unfortunately. but at ten o'clock dead meadow began, and they are actually, as expected, a great live band. they performed for about 1,5 hours with many many songs with lengths of 10+ mins. too bad ther...
