endorsing calcurse :)

Today I found a very nice ncurses-based calendar tool named calcurse. At first it is a bit hard to get used to it, but once you figured out how it works, you’ll love it.
Friends of console applications will love it anyway ;) . I have always been searching for a reasonable console tool for this task. Now I found one :)

Here is the link to the website:
calcurse

I’m using it as my primary calendar application to get an overview of my daily tasks and events.

Here a screenshot of me entering my university lessons :P :

hi guys,

in near future you’ll see more articles because I decided to quit my current job and start to study biology ;) .

I’m going to do my job until 23th of September.

hi guys,

some days ago I decided to write a little simulation in Perl. Well, … here is the result (huntersim-0.1). The package contains a README where everything should be explained.

Have FUN!

UPDATE:

Because people want to see pics:

…. the towel-day :)
Wear your towel! Know where it is!

To remind my readers (me, me … and me) about this incredibly important event, I’ll put this picture on top of the blog.

I’m just posting a small article to tell you that my EEE 701 now works like a charm. I was messing around with the kernel for a couple of days now to find out why my webcam didn’t work until yesterday, when I discovered that I disabled it in the BIOS-settings … Yeah, I know, … I’m an idiot … Oh rly? … Ya…. Rly!

Well, everything works now. I’m currently playing around with motion, a nice tool for capturing pictures from a webcam.

Have a nice day!

some funny comics :)

I just clicked through some of my favourite boards on the net and found 2 funny comics I want to show you.

I love coding humor :)

Some more funny jokes:

Why do programmers always mix up Halloween and Christmas?
Because Oct 31 equals Dec 25.

Programming is like sex:
One mistake and you have to support it for the rest of your life.

Saying that Java is nice because it works on every OS is like saying that anal sex is nice because it works on every gender.

COBOL programmers understand why women hate periods.

Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning.

If debugging is the process of removing bugs, then programming must be the process of putting them in…

The day Microsoft makes something that doesn’t suck, they’ll be making vacuum-cleaners.

It’s easier to optimize correct code than to correct optimized code.

Software developer: device for converting coffee into code

code golf: grid computing

Well, I tried my best for another challenge from codegolf.com.

I can’t imagine how these guys can solve this in less than 50 characters. I managed to solve it in 132 characters in Perl. Maybe I could try to solve it in Ruby too … later ;)

Here is my approach:

@{$$a[$_]}=split/ /,<>;for 0..9;for(0..9){$A=$B=0;for$y(0..9){$A+=$$a[$_][$y];
$B+=$$a[$y][$_];}$Z=$A if$A>$Z;$Z=$B if$B>$Z;}print$Z;

Maybe someone else wants to give it a try. The task is to calculate the highest sum from a given 10 x 10 grid. Have fun!

The only valid measurement …

I just discovered a very nice add-on for Firefox, ScribeFire. With this add-on it is possible to manage your blog inside Firefox. 5 stars!

Here is an image:

Nice work.
