So, over the weekend, I went to Evoke. Evoke, for those who don’t know, is a Demoparty, a sort of gathering for people who write Demos to get together, show off their newest works in the competitions, talk, and potentially get mightily drunk.
We didn’t actually plan to release anything at the party, but after arriving after a 4ish-hour-drive (Drove there with Maep and Saga_Musix, took a few wrong turns… <.<) I suddenly felt like coding something up for the DS. WAHa_06x36 and coda were availble to assist with additional effects, graphics work and music, so in 16 hours of intense partycoding, during the course of which I downed half a crate of club mate and nearly threw up my breakfast, we’re able to give you:

Our release was generally well-redieved, and finished second in the “Alternative Plattform” compo. We even got Prizemoney this time around, which was a little unexpected.
One of my favourite demos of the whole party was this 64k intro (It’s 64k, despite what it says in the video). Beautiful use of… cubes! It won, too! <3
Something I sadly only found after the party was over is the full version of this years party jingle, mmsx#001 - dq feat. scraping micha - this year. Absolutely lovely.
In conclusion, Evoke 2010 was an awesome party, massive thanks to the organizers - especially to the beamteam for the recording, you’re awesome - and to brainstorm for free sausages and alcatraz for free beer. o/
The next demoparty for me will probably be the 2010 edition of the ultimate meeting, right here in Karlsruhe, or maybe a party up in finnland! See you there!

A friend recently had a problem with a cameras flash card that had become unreadable after he pulled it out of his computer without unmounting properly first - the FAT file system had become corrupted and his images had become unreadable.
Luckily, he found saveimg, a tool to restore pictures from broken FAT file systems. Annoyingly, this tool only deals with JPG files, and his camera is a NIKON cam that takes picture in Nikon RAW (NEF) format.
I modified the tool to deal with those, in addition to dealing with JPG files, just like the original. Usage is the same as the original saveimg, read up on how to use it there.

2 is how many times I’ve been to Berlin this year.
2 is how many times I have neglected to blog about Berlin.
2 is below the number of images I am going to post below.
My cat Buster brought a friend with him home today 
Ain’t it fun when the fridge contains a big waterpool, everything is soaking wet and the ice-compartment is covered in ice when it’s not supposed to… At least this gives me something to do (aside from my summerschool studies with Python and all other programmering I do for fun, yaaay……)!
Defrosting...
Well well, one can also use the time to make some nice food for oneself, anyone up for some kebab in pita bread? 
Kebab and pita bread
Went with my mom to Nossebro, lots and lots of people everywhere… Nice weather 
Nossebro
Back from a short LAN-party in Fly. Kinda akward that they host a LAN in the basement of their church…
Was a while since I last attended a LAN-party, thank god (right place for that, hehehehe…) for that! Definitely not healthy… At least I gave them a big can of whoopass
I’m more comfortable with being home, siting outside in the sun and doing some coding for Anrop.se and what I really should do, python for my summer studies!
The Secret of Monkey Island is finally out on Steam!
Taken from Steam:
Back by popular demand, The Secret of Monkey Island™: Special Edition faithfully re-imagines the internationally-acclaimed classic game (originally released in 1990) for original and new audiences alike. The development team at LucasArts is bringing the game into the modern era with an all new re-imagined contemporary art style, a re-mastered musical score, full voiceover, and an in-depth hint system to help players through the game’s side-splitting puzzles. Purists will also delight in the ability to seamlessly switch between the updated hand-drawn re-imagining and the original classic version.
The game’s twisty plot leads our naive hero on a hilarious, swash-buckling search for the fabled secret of Monkey Island. Tales of pirate wealth lure him to the port of Mêlée with high hopes, no money, and insatiable curiosity. If clever enough, he will win the confidence of Mêlée’s pirates and find himself blown by the winds of fate toward the terrifying and legendary Monkey Island — an adventure that would chill the bones of even the most bloodthirsty buccaneer.

A little more than a week with perhaps a little too much happening…
Started out with a quick visit down in Skåne last weekend, Malmö and my cousin’s confirmation, to go there by car sucks big time…
A late airsoft game on Tuesday which became more of a movienight with pizza, I don’t mind 
Wednesday and Thursday I played RPG for the first time in a while, D&D with a couple of friends, nice to see them again!
Friday I wished my auntie and her friend a nice flight to London from Landvetter airport, some reconstrution since I was there last time…
On Saturday was Camilla’s birthday, nice evening with good food, friends and lots and lots of raaaaain (first time in a while!).
And today, reformatted and rearranged most of my computers and handed them over where needed, my mom got a new speedy core 2 duo with windows 7 rc until rtm is out and my grandma got a really slick setup with a new desktop, portrait-layout is kinda nice if you only use the computer for surfing and mail! Not that funny to work all day long with installing software and tweaking the OS, great that this year’s studies starts with math and electric circuits, no need to slave infront of the computer
Thank god that not every week is like this, sleeping suddenly comes knocking and is pissed of due to not being part of my daily routines
Also, there is a bug stuck beneath the glass of my laptop screen, GET THE HELL OUT OF MY COMPUTER!

Work has its privileges. Tomorrow I’m off with my co-workers to Stockholm. Our main mission is to play football (soccer) in a tournament, STHLMVII, arranged by Nike Sportswear on Sunday. The other teams include other shops, designers and creative businesses in Sweden and Denmark. Below, see our training video I threw together with the little footage I had of training.
I’m currently in the midst of packing my stuff, picture follows.
Be sure to like our team. It really boosts our confidence.
I can now announce that my apartment is completely environment friendly and co2-neutral now that I have a solar powered bobbing head cat charm.
And while I’m at it, here are some mood pictures from the apt. Theme is “bi-savory”.
Sweet stuff found in Berlin.
(Yeah, crossposting formspring.me questions is the cool new thing.)
Most likely social democrat (SPD). Possibly Pirates. I am not up to date enough with North-Rhine Westphalian politics to say for sure.
I can say, though, that I enjoy the current result projections. Red-Green in NRW would be ideal, for several reasons:
1) First and foremost: Goodbye CDU/FDP Bundesrat majority. The Bundesrat is a gremium made of representatives of all german states. It can block a lot of legislation. It will, from now on, most likely be able to block things, because the governing parties (CDU [right-conservative] / FDP [libertarian/rich-people-party] will not have a majority anymore. This means, amongst other things: Goodbye to plans for Kopfpauschale (Highly associal crap, IMO, if you’re curious, ask and I’ll try to explain it as I understand it) and goodbye to plans for longer nuclear power plant runtimes. :3
2) Real chances for school system reform in NRW, and consequently, other places. Same goes for tuition fees. NRW sacking tuition fees could help us here in BW a LOT.
3) It’s a nice signal that the german left (Political direction, not the party) is back.
Oh, also, the Pirate Party got a nice 2%-ish result. That’s okay. :3
