The Art of Martin Pudenz
Journal Entry: Tue Jun 10, 2008, 7:25 AM
A few days ago I had the pleisure to become acquainted with the art of Martin Pudenz.
This was the first time I witnessed the beauty of real bromoil prints.
I go now and cry myself to sleep. Good night.

No More Copy 'n' Pasty
Journal Entry: Sun Jun 8, 2008, 9:08 AM
Just a short intermission to present a nice little gadget for all you big thumb lovers:
It becomes more and more popular to create features with large thumbs instead of using regular deviant art thumbs. Although dA isn't very amused when it comes to hyperlinking, it just looks so sexy that you simply can't resist! But there's one thing that's really annoying about creating hyperlinks: You have to insert both, the page and graphic link, manually into your journal for each and every single deviation. Not anymore!
Now, if you use Firefox, have Greasemonkey installed and aren't a security freak that has Javascript disabled, help is on the way: =BoffinbraiN was so very kind to add a nice little extra feature to his excellent little helper the Gallery Toolbox 1.6. It now also generates the complete html code automatically nested in a text area field right beneath the embed and thumb code on a deviation page for your convenience.

Try it out! It's save, it's free, it's fun!

It's Been a Hard Time
Journal Entry: Sun May 25, 2008, 12:34 PM
Hossa! It's been a while since my last journal update. That's because I can't focus on things very well. I have ideas of what I could write, but no time. Then I have time, but can't remember what to write. It's hard for me to write in english too. .. . so, let's make it short.
· recently my PC started to crash randomly with a blue screen (STOP 7F - the so called Unexpected Kernel Mode Trap double-fault error Hm, I think I want this on a t-shirt). After mistakengly buying two (!) processors and a mainboard (because Microsoft says it's most likely the CPU or the MOBO), I found out that the WLAN card caused this behaviour. A few days later the Windows Installer crashed rendering the installed XP useless since you can't de- and install things. So, in the end I had to save my personal data and reinstall XP after a Repair-setup failed and irrevocably turned XP to crap. All in all it took me about 6 weeks to get everything fixed again.
And no, I am not going to buy a Mac after all this!
· Since january I have a new old job. I was inflicted with new responsibilities which, in the end, turned out to be old responsibilities only four times more. We had a brutal start: our company moved into a new office, we had about 20 projects with 1-3 customers and 5 with 4-8 customers (that's about three time more than we had in the past) and we switched over to a more efficient new enterprise resource planning software (and of course nothing was working). The pressure was extraordinary and my body reacted with stress symptoms like neurodermatitis, sleeplessness and abjection.
All that and other private things and thoughts that don't belong here don't leave much space for creativity lately.

But others have been creative AND productive so,

Ocean Acoustics
Journal Entry: Sat Mar 8, 2008, 12:03 PM
The Alfred Wegener Institute provides an interessting acoustic live stream of the Antarctic underwater soundscape.
It is highly compressed (24kBit Ogg-Vorbis), so sound quality is not perfect. Additionally, sounds may be very faint. The amplifier settings are a compromise between picking up distant animal voices and not overcharging the system by nearby calving icebergs. So please beware of sudden extreamely loud events.

Post Polaroid II
Journal Entry: Sun Mar 2, 2008, 5:58 AM
A random collection of Polaroids created with the PolaGen. Since I have a huge backlog of ten months many good polas have been removed in the meanwhile. To catch up a bit I have decided to make some extended features for a while...
