Ludgeri Kreisel


I took a little trip to Münster today. I wanted to visit a few stores especially I wanted to go to some place they sell Macs. And at Gravis I found one. Since the day Steve Jobs announced the new iMac and The Keyboard, I was curious. I checked them both out today. And I must say if I had the money to spare I would have ordered one today. That machine is sexy and fast. I'm comparing it to my black MacBook and my Dual G5 2Ghz. I think a big part in the "zippy-nes" is on part of the graphics card. I tried out the new iLife apps on the 20" iMac, and now I really think it runs slow on my G5.

The design is much more applealing to me in real life. Looking at the photos on Apple's site didn't really amaze me. You'll have to see it for yourself. The shiny screen wan't going to scare me any bit, since I've gotten use to my glossy goodness on my MacBook. I really like the way the gloss lets me enjoy my pictures and movies. And when crunching out code it isn't a burden. Albeit I must say that it goes a long way to have your screen in a right angle to a window. Competing with the glare outside or having the sun shine on your screen directly isn't even a good idea on matt displays.

Dublin here I come

Irish Pubs, Dublin Originally uploaded by LauDeLyon I'll be in Dublin next week. I've never been to any part of Great Britain. I'm very excited to get to know the people and culture of this town. I'm traveling with my girlfriend and group of friends. We were trying to find a common date for a vacation for the last three or four years. I'm glad it finally happened. I hope I will also get a chance to see more than the typical tourist attractions.

You have to start sometime.

Well I guess I always wanted my own blog. I never seemed to find the time for it. Finally I have time. It's my birthday today. I'm very old now. :D Yes, at an age where I don't tell my age anymore. Well not really. I just don't want to admit becoming a year older again. I hope this new year starts of better than the last one ended. The last 3 weeks before my birthday a lot of my stuff started breaking. First my PC. It overheated because the fan stopped on me. Then I found out my RAM also broke. Yesterday, the chair in my office wanted to throw me on the floor as it broke down. Well, wish me luck.
