Hardware ... I love buying hardware. It's just so sad that you cannot buy hardware everyday. Yeah. All these rooms simply don't have enough space for all of it. Money?! Pfffff. ... yeah ... money ... But sometimes you simply need a new laptop if your old one starts to show its age everytime you find a new application you want to try.

BJ Fogg at the University of Klagenfurt
Today the "Freunde der Informatik" (or the "Förderverein Technische Fakultät" as they call them starting today) at the University of Klagenfurt had invited to a talk given by BJ Fogg of Stanford University about Persuasive Technologies and quite a few people came. Definitely more than I had expected given the topic.

Multiple Tracs with the Same User Database
For my master thesis I'm working with a couple of other people on quite a big project which consists of multiple sub-projects. To get some order into the whole process and documentation we are about to use Trac, the free project management tool by the folks at edgewall. It simply let's you handle one project per instance with its own SVN repository and user base. But what if you want to have multiple instances with the same users but just different permissions per instance?

zerokspot v5.1
You might have noticed a small change here. For the last couple of months I've been working a little bit on an updated style for this site, that should somehow look more minimalistic than the previous one and therefor included much much more white ;-)

Wow, what a timing :-) I just was about to install Lightroom again and therefor wanted to download the latest update. So I downloaded it, started it and was quite surprised to see the version number: 1.3 :D

Favorite Leopard Features so far
I've only been using Leopard for a couple of days now (since I wasn't all that motivated to get it before my MacBook arrived) but I've already found some new stuff that I actually really enjoy...

Trial Software done right
I've been using OmniGraffle for some time now. It's simply one of the most easy to use diagramming tools I've seen so far. So now I also got my new laptop which doesn't come with that tool bundled unlike the old Powerbooks (and probably also the new MacBook Pros) and since I already considered upgrading for the last couple of months and because I also need a powerful diagramming tool for my master thesis, I downloaded the trial version ...

No PSP Store for Mac users
... or anyone who doesn't use Windows for that matter. Currently the whole download software is only available for Windows and Sony completely fails to tell you that before you start probably the most lengthy and complicated registration process I've seen in my whole life.
I'm just wondering why. Under yourpsp.com/at/de/whatever you already could download demos and there also was a shopping system in place. So why move everything over to a completely different infrastructure that even looks some of your customers out?! Summary: The current state of the PSP Store looks like a stupid idea.

@Sony Customer Support: Reading mails is hard ...
Remember when I wrote a couple of days ago about the PSP Store being Windows-only? I was actually mad enough to contact Sony's customer support on this issue asking if there were any plans to offer a MacOSX-client.
