Ok, zugegeben, der alte Hoster, den ich für mein Webhosting hatte, war spitze (http://www.xenonserver.de), aber irgendwann steigen die Ansprüche. So war es bei mir zumindest: Ich wollte mehr. Darum habe ich mich kurzerhand dazu entschlossen, bei hosteurope.de einen VServer zu ordern. Deshalb war die Site gestern auch für einige Stunden nicht erreichbar, denn ich habe die komplette Site mit Datenbank auf den neuen Server umziehen müssen. In den nächsten Tagen geschieht dann das selbe mit allen Subdomains, parabella.org und dumpspot.net.

Danach ist die Sache allerdings noch nicht gegessen, die Domains müssen alle noch transferiert werden. Daher kann es in den nächsten Tagen nochmal zu einem Ausfall der Website kommen. Ich bin selber gespannt, wie die Sache verläuft! 

Finally there is a drummingvideo with better sound and video quality! I am, as always, just messing around onmy Yamaha Drumset as it's much fun (that's what it's all about, isn't it?). So, here's the video on Youtube:

What Tools did I use to record this video?

Videorecording with my new webcam: Logitech C250
Soundrecording: Some t.Bone Microphones and a Behringer 1202FX

And, of course, sorry for my mistakes. The whole thing might be a little sloppy, and there is some speed acceleration at certain moments, but all in all it sounds pretty good (well, that's how I think about it :D)

...just for fun! 

frozen sniper, the creator and admin of the prestigious Uber Sniper Clan (former known as the "Elite Sniper League") had the idea, to open up more such clans as there could be similar clans for other classes in TF2 (for example Scout and Spy). In correspondence to those clan we came up with the idea to start a Gaming Community called UGC- Uber gaming Community. At the moment there is only a special group on Steam where we are trying to collect members and increase the groups size. As soon as we think it makes sense, we'll also launch a special website. But first of all, we need a huge amount of members. We started two days ago, let's see if it will work out for the community!

As we wrote on the Steam-group: "When you take a look at this page, you might think that we are just an ordinary community that offers servers for people to play on...but we are not. In fact, Uber Gaming Community is a "clan community" that offers several kinds of clans to you. All these clans are supposed to be "Prestige-Clans", or you might also say "Skill-Clans". That means you will only be able to get into the clan of your choice, if you can fulfill the requirements and succeed in a test-match. Help us to make this community bigger by joining this group and applying for the membership in one of our Uber Gaming Clans. Invite all of your friends! The more members this community has, the more this community will do for you. We are aiming at getting our own servers once we've got enough members and, of course, to establish new clans!

Uber Gaming Clans available at the moment:

USC - Uber Snipers Clan (former known as ESL - Elite Sniper League)

Clans to come when this community counts more members:

USpC - Uber Spies Clan (at least 200 members required)
UScC - Uber Scouts Clan (at least 400 members required)

Being a member of this community also gives you the permission to show your membership by adding the tag "UGC" to your nickname. Members of any Skill-Clan might also want to add their respective clantag (USC, USpC, and so on). We also offer a Forum for the members of the Uber Snipers Clan. Once we've got enough members, UGC will also get a professional website with Forums for all members! Stay tuned, invite your friends, have fun!

Current Uber Snipers Clan Forums: http://www.uscclan.tk"

Let's see if it will succeed. Anyways, it is just a fun-thing. Breaking the 1000-members checkpoint would be awesome though! And, of course, feel free to join :D 

Das Jahr 2009 ging zu Ende und ein neues Jahr bricht an! 2010 bringt neue Chancen, neue Erfahrungen und hoffentlich auch neue Projekte mit sich! Ich persönlich habe mir einiges an Projekten vorgenommen:

• PGELua for Windows
• Webprojekt "Marksman" 
• irgendwie in die Anwendungsentwicklung für Mac einsteigen (dazu braucht man aber eben einen Mac)

Ich wünsche euch allen auf jeden Fall ein frohes neues Jahr und hoffe, dass auch ihr alle wieder tolle Sachen auf die Beine stellt!

English: Google was so very kind to send out a lot of new invite-waves that give its recipient the ability to invite more people to Google Wave. I myself received 16 invites that I might forward to other people. You can be one of those people! Since I've got so many invites left, just respond to this news (that means you have to write a comment). Don't forget: you have to be registered with your valid email-address since I am going to send these invites to the email-addresses stored in my database!

Deutsch: Google hat vor kurzem jede Menge neue Invite-Waves versendet, die ihrem Empfänger ermöglichen, neue Leute zu Google Wave einzuladen. Ich persönlich habe 16 Invites bekommen, die ich nun auch gerne weitergeben würde. Du kannst einer von diesen glücklichen Leuten sein! Um dich für einen Invite zu bewerben brauchst du nur einen Kommentar ("write a comment") auf diese News verfassen. Achtung: Du musst registriert sein und eine korrekte Email-Adresse angegeben haben, denn ich werde die Invites an die in meiner Datenbank gespeicherten Email-Adressen senden!

I have 7 5 Google Wave invitations left, and of course I cannot just let them be. I am certain there are people around who really need a Google Wave invite. And especially those people should have the chance to get one, so I dedided to start a small "competition":

In order to get one of those seven invites, you have to register at bumuckl.com (There is OpenID and Google Account support, that means you might sign in immediately). Then just login and move to the Forums where you navigate to Webdevelopment->Other category. Open up the Topic "Google Wave invitations application" and reply to it.

What to write? The actual competition is to write your ideas for robots and gadgets. The best ideas will be rewarded with a Google Wave invite. Don't be shy, I won't steal any of your ideas. It is just to see how much you tinker with Google Wave and how important an invitation is for you. If you do not want to post your ideas publicly, then you can also just write a personal message to me (bumuckl). Go to the Topic here:
