   Part two of my travelogue. Hope you won’t get bored. Read the rest…

   Part two of my travelogue. Hope you won't get bored. Wednesday 9:05 am Awoke. Esther was already up for some time. Heard cars passing by on a wet road. "Shit, it's still raining". Heard Esther's co-dweller leave and utter a faint "Bye!". I haven't seen her since I arrived. Odd. Went to brush my teeth. I'm cold. 11:39 ...

   First things first: Sorry, new BleepCast will take some time and will be produced and online in about 10 days from now — IT’S NOT DEAD! Apart from that: Salzburg — I’m not here, this isn’t happening. Because now I reside for one week in Berlin, like the years before and decided to blog a loose travel-journey-blog-(s)crap-book kinda online report. Whenever I feel like it and am not too tired. So here they are, my first impressions as collected in my notebook, on my phone and in my weird head with the even weirder hair.

   Skip the posts on the following days if you don’t give a shit about me — no offense taken.

   I like Flattr. I like the idea of it: Flatter people with a click that is the digital equivalent of a coin ringing in a tip-jar. And for some reason it became customary to blog about how much you made past month. You get tipped, and you tip yourself. It’s social. No surprise: It’s from Sweden. They compare it to having a piece of birthday cake and giving a slice to everybody you want to flatter. The more people you flattr, the smaller the slices get. At the end of the month it’s payday: Everyone on Flattr empties their jars and counts the coins. There are people who had an income of more than 500 €, the are many more people who had about 10 € by the end of the day. And now I am going to spill the beans myself.

   Wassup, y’all? I’m back! Back from the vault, back from grinding merrily away 20 to 30 hrs a day on my diploma thesis and back from LaTeX formatting hell. Through my veins still runs a little amount of blood among all that caffeine and so I’m announcing my new credo for 2010: Make Something Creative Every Day Week!

   Another time it’s been way too long between updates. Again much has happened, I was too busy to author a thorough blog post of general interest. And honestly, I still am. So I will give you a short run down on what I did recently. And if you want to see some shading/texturing going on, to witness the power of the almighty bump-map that still does its job well and without the annoying purple eye-cancer-causing colors of a normal map, read the rest…

   Berlin was calling. I had to go. Like the years before. When you’ve been to Berlin once before (and ain’t not sick of it already), you just have to return. Every summer this city calls me by a feeling or just by plain Austrian fatigue. Then I book a flight, make no plans and off I go.

   This is a short photo-blog-post of my impressions.

   Impulse purchase — yet another. I got me a WLAN router. I didn’t know that I needed one until I got one. Usually I am not that enthusiastic about new consumer electronics ¹ but this nifty router finally lifts the burden of ever too short LAN cables even in my cramped spatially challenged campus room.

   1. Okay, I am. But I keep the glee to myself usually ↩

   Finally. I arrived in my hotel in Stuttgart, eagerly anticipating the fmx launch tomorrow. The ride from Salzburg didn’t feel really long mostly because of the lovely company on the way, a wonderful sunset and some good music.

   It’s been quite a while since my last blog entry. In fact it has been so long, that I had to think twice to recall my password for this sweet blog o’ mine.

   You ask “What’s new? What’s cool?” and I tell you: A lot: I’ve been in the trenches with Nuke and fought After Effects so there’s a lot of stuff I want to show and tell what I’ve learned in the past weeks, not only about VFX.

    I’m feeling a little better and now and the fever is gone. In fact I felt so well today that I had the chance to play the Death Toll campaign and it works way better to play in a team with a real friend than with some kids who take your med-kits and startle any witch in sight. But blood flowed not only in the game today.
