After having finished Killzone last night and still feeling the need to get some recreating between learning for the next 4 exams, I decided to get Tekken 5 today. Since the last Beat'em Up I bought was quite a disappointment since the only really new thing about it was the new online mode (... yes, I'm talking about DOA Ultimate ;-) ) I was a little nervous if Tekken 5 would finally be a good game for me again :-) But after playing it for about an hour I think this could become some very entertaining weeks to come ;-) The game seems definitely harder than Tekken4 and offers (at least offline) much more than DOAU.

43* webservices
Today I rediscovered the link to 43things.com again somewhere on my blogroll and started to play around with it. For those who don't know 43things yet: This some kind of online todo list where everyone can add here items and share them with other people so that they can give each other hints and tips and encourage each other.

Killzone
After watching the first trailers of Killzone a year or so ago I started to get interested in this game. It didn't look as good as Halo but good enough for me. 2 weeks ago I bought the game for 20EUR (the price was also my main motivation here ;-) ) and started to play it actually with not so high expectations afer reading some reviews. But to say the truth: I was quite suprised. The game is easy to get into it and also offers a quite good storyline around the conflict between the Helghast and the ISA. The battle takes place on an ISA-world basically overrun by Helghast troups.

Started learning OCAML
Today I started learning OCaml, an object-oriented functional language. I won't write all that much about my learning progress here since 43things is IMO the better place to do this. But on the other hand I will probably write a small summary after I've reached a point where I think that I know the basics :-)

Ubuntu > Laptop
Now I've finally come to the point where I don't want to stress my poor laptop with having to compile everything so I've removed Gentoo from it and installed Ubuntu tonight. This doesn't mean that I don't like Gentoo anymore or something like that. I still use it on my server and it's still my first choice if I have high performant hardware at my disposal.

Official BitTorrent 4.0.x on Ubuntu
Since Ubuntu Hoary only offers Bittorrent 3.x updating is a good idea if you want some of the newer features. So here comes a little step-by-step guide on how to get Bittorrent 4.x running:

Ruby 1.8.2 on Ubuntu 5.04
Since yesterday there is a new version of Ruby On Rails available: 0.13.1. It seems like this version has introduced a version-check on Ruby which makes it hard to get Rails installed on Ubuntu 5.04. The problem here is, that Hoary uses a pre-release of Ruby 1.8.2 as base which was made 2 days before the final release.

Indexing script for docbook articles ;)
Today I wanted to have a index.html for a directory full of DocBook articles. Being quite lazy I simply wrote a small Ruby script for doing this since I couldn't get sed to do what I want:

Back to Gentoo?
Hm.... I'm not really making progress here. Although I'm still not sure if using a binary distribution is really some much a progress over using a source distribution after all. Anyway. Today we installed another machine in the office and this time we used Gentoo. And... what should I say? It was fun enough to make me homesick. Then in the afternoon I had some problems getting the ati-drivers to work under Ubuntu which motivated me even more to get back to Gentoo.
