Iron Man 2

May 12 2012

Yesterday, in preparation for The Avengers, I watched Iron Man 2 and I really enjoyed it. I have to say, that of the recent Marvel movies, the Iron Man ones are the least trashy ones. Besides that, it shows quite good how new technologies work out in our world:

  1. Someone has a great idea and builds it.
  2. Politicians want that stuff to be used in a way that will never work.
  3. Some rather bad company starts building what politicians demand.
  4. There is always a Russian, who - other than the company - really understands the technology.

Diablo III: Wrath

Since yesterday evening the "prequel" to Diablo III is out. Kinda reminds me of Gundam Wing.

The Emperor's New Clothes

May 09 2012

This is my first blog entry for quite some time. This entry is also the first one in the "new" blog. A couple of things happened:

  • I did a big redesign, which wouldn't have been possible without lot of help from Florian. A lot of thanks for that.
  • I don't use Wordpress anymore. The blog is now build around a static file generator (docoad). This allows me to write blog entries as markdown files in a git repository and I don't have to go to PHP hell.

Although I'm writing this post, the whole thing is not yet done. Personally I see this as my web playground and so I might change some things when I feel to do so. However, I plan on keeping the design the same (at least for some time). The next things I want to implement are:

  • Tags
  • Maybe RSS2 (atom is already working)
  • Comments (I'm excited about the new Disquss version that was just released.)
  • Search
  • Maybe a responsive design (the actual design will stay the same, but hopefully scale better)

I really would appreciate feedback (preferably on Twitter, unless comments are implemented) if you care to give some, especially on the design and readability.

P.S.: The old posts are not yet fully imported. Therefore there might be parts or design missing.
