Es scheint – schon länger – in Mode zu sein, potentielle Spieler quasi in’s kalte Wasser zu schmeißen. Aktueller Beanstandungsgrund grade: The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. (Oder Ace Combat 6, Kingdom under Fire etc. pp). Man wird sofort von Ratten, Untoten und Goblins angegriffen und soll sich nebenbei noch die Bedienung merken.
Ich fand das Konzept von Fable besser; man wird langsam an die Spielbedienung herangeführt, mit nicht zu starken Gegnern, einer in die Geschichte eingepassten Ausbildung etc.

"Fixing" livejournal II
Ok. Changing the URL only seemed to help once. Seems the digest authentication is broken 🙁
"Fixing" livejournal
Livejournal seems to have changed their feed URL scheme from http://www.livejournal.com/users/<username>/data/rss to http://<username>.livejournal.com/data/rss.

Feedmap
I’m sorry, right now it does what I want and cannot invest time in it (there seems to be a little bug with Livejournal protected entries right now).
Linuxwacom
Effort to develop the shared memory runtime configuration has significantly slowed down but I’m working on it, currently integrating the differences to the latest offical public release.
SDK update
Today I uploaded the SDK for X.org 6.9 RC 2.The SDK was built using UbuntuBreezy Badger.A SDK for RC1 is also available

Cross-Compilation
As promised earlier, the script to cross-compile OpenSSL is now available
Evaluating Live-CDs made easy

However, with a little tweaking, it is possible to run bootable CDs in it:

- Create a suitable .vmx file
- Start vmplayer with this vmx file and there it is:
