I had another request for the socketcc port recently. It is interesting how many people are interested in it. But definetely not surprising! :) I was quite right with my suspicion that there is a big need for having such a library. But this time is a bit special because the guy who requested it is looking for re-implementing the ipV6 functionality. One can find his post in one of the blog entries about socketcc. He seemed to be quite enthusiastic to work on this as soon as he has time. I already sent him the sources, now I am curious what will come out of this. I was surprised when i just found out what additional features we have already put inside socketcc that were not inside the original library. I even now found some forgotten code where I played with some "Ping" class which i wanted to add to the library. its even working in some way, but i stopped development when i didnt need the functionality anymore. I would very much like to see the library all (and the effort we p...

On the 14th Color Haze played in the arena. They were supported by the band rotor. I was very much looking forward to this concert. I got tickets around christmas and counted the days till the 14th with anticipation.... I may have to add that I regard Color Haze as one of the 3 best active Stoner Rock groups.... if not the best. And they are a great live band! So my expectations were high. It was one of the best concerts I've been to for a long time. The new album of Color Haze shows that the band definetely progresses their music! One of their songs on their new album "All" has support by a hammond organy. It reminds me of some santana tracks that I know. All the songs on the album are good. But the ones they played live were even better there. Longer versions with such an energy.... just great. Rotor was the band playing before Color Haze. I heard some songs of them already of their ablums, but they kicked ass live. They have no crowd-participation, but they make a hel...

Yes, finally it is there. If you read roadmap I think this month the final version was planned.... but I am happy that we at least have the Beta! Still I very much would like to test it out. Unfortunately there still aren't any .deb packages that I could get a grip on! This is something I dont understand: if I have a beta of a software, I would like many many many people to test it so I will get may bugreports so I can then bugfix more efficiently. For this they should provide debian packages and packages for red hat based systems! Ok, I do not know the internal structure of the monodevelop development team, maybe they just don't have those ressources to get this done. Well, I will patiently wait and search the net until some .deb files get available! I cannot wait to finally be able to write me some of the tools I so desperately want for linux!

first versions of the new monodevelop are out. boy oh boy i cant wait.... on the official site you now also will find some installers. Unfortunately only for SUSE and stuff, no package for debian. But do not despair dear debian-comrades! You can find debian packages at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=980739 It has some drawbacks though: i didnt find a package for the debugger add-on yet, so if you depend on deb packages because you can't or don't want to build yourself (like me), so i still need to wait.

i had pre-christmas at work when after coming from my holidays i was presented with a new intel quad core pc. my colleages even already had installed a parallel XP/ubuntu on it. great, i thought "i can immediatly start working!". as long as the new monodevelop is not released, i am still stuck with eclipse (ganymede ). all i now had to do was i needed to install ganymede... after downloading ganymede from eclipse homepage, i fired it up but was very confused: eclipse behaved very sluggish.... ok, i am used to it behaving sluggish from my old machine (a p4 2100 with ubuntu), but i thought it should be quite fast with the new cpu. but i could barely work in a normal way: when doing a search, after pressing the shortcut i needed to wait for like 2 secs until i could press something that he'd recognize. and then after some time eclipse would crash with a "out of memory" exceptions. it also crashed sometimes with some other exceptions. this behavior and the fact that...

today i got back from my 3 weeks trip in cuba. it was an.... interesting trip. i had better though. it seems to visit cuba at the moment is not the greatest idea: there are still many signs from the last 3 cyclones/hurricanes (of which i had the honor to experience the lastest). They also greatly affected tourism and thus: you. Plus they may have affected the mood of the people like 2 cubans pointed out to me. putting that aside it might be wise to reconsider if you really want to go to cuba if one of the following facts apply to you: * you dont speak spanish * you get annoyed if you get approached every 10 minutes by somebody wanting to sell you something or trying to trick you * you want to make a not-pre-planned trip with spontaneous decisions where to go and hate to remake your plans 4 times a week. * you get annoyed by waiting in lines maybe i'll post some things and facts about cuba in more detail at some later point. for now, i will now give in to the jet lag ;) best bytes...

me and the people i am jamming with now think of doing a kyuss song together.my friend suggested to play the great song phototropic of their great album "and the circus leaves town".  unfortunately kyuss is still not so well known and there were no bass tabs for the song on the internet.  so i had to sit down and tab it out (which i am quite good at, but it is still work). actually i didnt plan to post any tabs on this blog, more so because they style of this blog is not designed for tabs, but i still thougt there might be some people interested in the tab to save the hassle of listening it out, so here it goes. If the line breaks / structure is not right with your browser/screen, you will have to copy paste the code into your text editor (/notepad). then it should look normal again. the bass should have a normal tuning, but some steps lower, starting with C instead of E.  0:30 |----------9---------------9--9-----9--9---------------- |--------------9--11--12------------------...
