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.

It is time for a new post.

What's happened? Well, I still don't have my new PC. But, I have ordered the new components, though. It will be a P4 530, with a GigaByte 8I915P-Duo Pro-A motherboard. I haven't made my final decision about what graphic card it will be. I'm tending to a GeForce6600 GT. Probably the GV-NX66T128D, also form GigaByte. What have I been doing the past month? Well I used a great part of my time studying hardware guides and forums, to make a well informed decision about my new PC. The other part of my time, well, college lectures started again. So I've been investing time in that as well. The bit of spare time left I used for online playing. Hmm?? Online playing, I thought your PC was broke! You might say. Well that's where my girlfriend comes in. She let me borrow her PC very often. That way it won't be like starting online play all over again. :)

How I want to start a Day my Way.

Well to keep this short. I started my day with getting up early. And for me that's 5:45 am. I got into some clothes and made some space in the living room for some exercise. I usually practice HapKiDo as I did today. First some basic techniques and them some sword swings and combos. After about 25 min and getting sweaty I hit the shower, got dressed, turned on some of my favorite music, and made breakfast. Not much just a small portion of Muesli to get my metabolism started up. So how does it feel? Well I know what most of you are thinking right now. "Oh, gosh, I could never get up that early, not mentioning doing exercise!" Well I was like that a few weeks ago as well. It takes some uptake on self discipline, which is doable. There are a few things that helped me do this. A few blogs I read about productivity and life-hacking(why no links? Google your own I don't want to influence you on that). And Joe's Goals . I lets you track little achievements and mishaps i...
