Første update fra SLAP Live #16; Turen dertil, opsætning osv.

Klokken er nu 02:18 her ved bord 5, plads 18, 19 og 20 hvor vi fra “1337h4x0rz” sidder. Hvordan vi er endt her redegøres lidt for herunder med nogle billeder.

Dagen skulle have for mit vedkommende være startet ved 09:00 tiden hvor Stefan (Heu) skulle hente mig i det mørke Nordjylland, her var planen at vi spiste morgenmad hvorefter vi skulle videre mod Horsens for at få endnu en bil i følge i skikkelse af Martin (Lakrids).

Det gik dog allerede her galt da Heu var ved at kigge på den nye WoW patch natten forinden, han gik for sent i seng og kunne ikke tvinge sin lade krop op fra sengen. Det betød at vi blev ca. 2 timer forsinkede.

Anyway, Stefan (Heu) har en kammerat med fra sit ”place” (Grenaa) så da vi kom til Horsens skiftede jeg bil så vi var 2 i hver bil.

Turen i bilen var lang og relativt kedelig for jer andre dødelige derfor vil jeg omskære denne historie for denne gang. ”Point of no return” er nemlig at vi når frem til Ballerup Super Arena ca. kl. 18:00.

Vi kommer ind i salen, stiller op med vores skærme og vores “happengut”. Vi hører at der er bordtennis turnering og sender straks Stefan (Heu) over for at vinde det hele, desværre bliver han slået i semi-finalen (vi tager den næste gang “drengene”). Vi går herefter DIREKTE mod aftensmaden. Men da vi ser de høje priser (70 kr. for aftensmad alene) bestemmer vi os for at prøve et af de lokale pizzasteder i stedet, til ingens ærgrelse. Det betyder nu at vi 100% kan anbefale “Milano” i Ballerup til vores med-nørder og andre mere dødelige.

Nåååh, ja. Vi fik også lige fundet sovegemakkerne hvori vi fik placeret vores ting et godt sted.

Vi sidder altså her nu efter noget CS 1.6 og noget War3 og nørder lidt med programmering og War3. Rimeligt afslørende skriver jeg altså så lige denne ”update”.

I skal være velkommen til at kigge forbi hvis I vil have jeres søvn-manglende ansigter med et billeder “below”.

SLAP Live #16

My posts the next couple of days will be written in Danish since I’m going to the Danish gaming event SLAP Live #16 (website).

I’ll be coming with some updates, news and pictures from the event.

 

See ya all down there guys and girls! :-)

My inactivity

So, I’m trying to get on the horse again, blogging.

I’ve been busy dancing, working and with my second year as a college student. As said I’ll try to start blogging again and hopefully you’ll comment this and my future post as motivation.

See ya’ all

Fix MSN errors

I just had some problems with logging on the Live services earlier today and I therefore decided to fix it, so clever ;)

I found a help article here: http://tinyurl.com/2qqc49

and I decided to to write a quick BASIC (*.bat) file to make a bit more automatic. I did that because I'm a lazy cow, as all programmers. (is BASIC really programming, anyway I think it is). You can see the source below.

How to work @ home

Well I have a good friend of mine who is starting his own company in a near future and therefore he's going to work a lot from his own home. I was just going to mail him this tips for working @ home, but I figured that a lot of you out there, would take good use of these tips as well.

I'm going to write the tips in a chronology order as the day goes a long.


Morning: Get up early and start the day good. This could be a general tip for anyone but it's really important to get up early. In that way you'll have a whole day instead of just a half one. It's better to start early and end the day early than starting the day late and end the day very late!

And get really up, I mean you have to get up, take a shower, eat breakfast and get properly dressed before you work. You can't work in a pyjamas.

Noon:Make sure you get normal breaks. One at noon for lunch and one in the afternoon. In that way you don't have to leave your work behind because your starving.

NOTE: Do not take your break the same place your working, otherwise it isn't really a break. Have some zones in the house with work-only and non-work.

Afternoon and night: When the working day is about to end then end it. Don't "take your work home" otherwise you'll just keep working (or thinking at work).

General tips:

Separate your time. Don't take a hour out of your working day to raid in WoW or anything like that. You'll forget everything about work and keep playing (I've tried that one). AND: limit distractions, avoid TV, (non-)VOIP and phone calls etc.

Have a good working plan. Make a plan (maybe) a month ahead so you have some goals of the day. Else it can be hard to know what you've just spend a whole day working on.

 

Dedicated to my dear friend Stefan Bohlin, your the greatest dude! I wish you the best of luck with your firm!

Your ultimate virus scanner for MSN live

Yeah since I don't want to scan everything I receive over MSN I've noticed that MSN accepts any .exe file as the virusscanner. So my ultimate virus scanner is calc.exe in the %SYSTEMROOT%\system32\ folder. When you receive a file over MSN your calc.exe will start, just close it and your good! No need for the slow OneCare scanner..

This was just a quick helping post for you guys (and girls) :-) Happy Easter!

The subject for some of the future posts

I have been looking for a new computer and therefore I will start to review all the things I'm going to sell, and the things I'm going to keep. In that way I can blog and still do some "prework" for the sales.

Well I'm going to review:

  • Club 3D - Radeon 9800 PRO
  • Maxtor Onetouch 3 300GB
  • Creative X-Fi X-treme Music
  • LG Flatron L1980Q

And when the new hardware has been bought and received I'll do some reviews of that to. An complete review list will be up later on.

Some subjects for future posts will be about the ultimate technical home, where everybody is talking to each other and working together.

I’m done!

This week has been really chaotic. A lot of homework and a lot of things that hasn't been planned. But now I'm (almost) done! I've made an analyse of a Danish text and a some other assignments.

But enough whining from me, I've planned some posts about me dream digital home. All the things I want and need to create the perfect home for my family and I. A digital home isn't just to get the bragging rights (well a bit maybe) but also to have an easier everyday life.

These posts will be posted in the nearest future.

The Cairo shell for Vista (so far)

I saw this amazing shiny shell on the on10.net blog a couple of days ago. A private alpha has just been released to a selected group.

It's nothing like the normal Windows Vista shell, well a bit, it's see though but it's (as I see it) a lot more functional and the taskbar (and start button) is removed. The design is a lot more elegant than the bulky Vista.

This is not just a theme it's a complete replacement of explorer.exe! I collected some screenshots for you to see.

The Cairo shell replacement Explorer concept

The first screenshot is an example of the explorer concept. As you may see the places bar has been redone as well as the explorer and pictures.

The Cairo shell replacement AI taskbar

This is the thing I really love! It's so easy to get an overview of your applications, places, system files etc. I am in love...

The Cairo shell replacement desktop switching thing

The last thing I'll point out is the multi-desktop system which is really handy for people with only one monitor, poor them!

The shell will maybe be made for Windows XP as well in the future.

What this blog does and why

Yeah this is my first offcial quick (it should be) blog post.

What this blog should do:

  • Inform you on Internet security
  • ... Computers
  • ... Hardware
  • ... Software
  • ... Ballroom Dance :)
  • and a lot of my dreams, everyday life and bragging.

For the first dot: I'm a security geek, that's it, now it's out in the open. I will try to have a finger on the pulse and I will post the exploits and errors I find. These exploits will be analysed and found a solution for.

For the 2nd, 3rd and 4th dot: I know computers is hardware and software mixed up. BUT, I will also get a perspektive on whole systems instead of just a piece of software or hardware.

For the 5th dot: Without thinking gay and wierdo let me explain. In my sparetime I'm a dancer with passion. I'm dancing on my ehhh... 11th yeah so this is no new thing for me. I'm not going to talk a lot about this but, it would be a good breakoff instead of computers and stuff 24/7.

and the last dot: This is like the 5th, a breakoff from all computers. I maybe give you a tour in my room or my home. This will give you an insigth of who I am. In this categoty I'll also be bragging about holidays and stuff. For a starter I can tell you that I'm going 1 week to Mallorca in my summer vacation.

Each of these dots will get a category for easy viewing what you like.

And now: why I'm starting this blogging thing. First off all I hope to get to learn a hole lot of people to know thogh all this. Second off all I hope my english will be better, I think it is okay now but it can allways be better!

Please give me some critic on everything; spelling, content, the site, impromements, you name it!
