Feefing fish with fish

My mollys "conceived" about 20 fish babies a few weeks ago, as i wrote here.
Beside celebrating and enjoying xmas, I found myself feeding my fish with my fish.
It is always a thrilling show when I feed my scalars with the baby fish. The best time for the scalars has been about 2 minutes to catch and to eat a whole babyfish !

The hunt is really amazing.

Ruby Hpricot

Wondering what I am doing lately ? Beside all the projects at work, I am working on a private thing. Kind of player proxy for a browser game. I use Ruby as scripting language and Hpricot lib for parsing information.
Working with the Hpricot lib in Ruby makes programming really fun. No nasty RegEX parsing. An easy x.search("//element") solves it all.

This makes webdata extraction and http testing really easy, handy and fun !

Warhammer BETA

Warhammer Online is running a closed BETA at the moment. I tried it out and have to admit, this is way better than WOW and just as addictive as WOW.

My car is a real lemon ...

What a funny statement. Well not my car is a lemon, but the graph tablet i bought at www.mylemon.at. The box seemed to have been opened before and sent back. I guess the former buyer detected the defect as well and returned it back for cash without stating a reason. Now poor me has to sent it back, though the pad is big (A4 size) and quite nice to work on. Annoying still.

Thumbs up :: EA games on Mac

Today I have read an article in the Heise News.
EA offers great games. Macs are great. Soo EA games plus Macs ist great * great. At last now I am 100% sure that my next computer will be a MacBookPro, since I have absolutely no concern about the gaming issue anymore.

The godfather - Blackhand Edition

The godfather - Blackhand Edition
The godfather, a well known film classic. No, i am not talking about the film, but the Wii edition of the game.
I tried it out today on my beloved Wii. I must say playing this game with the wii controller makes 200% more fun than on a PC.

To play this game, you will need both the Wii remote and the nunchuk. To "fight" your enemies, you can box with you hands, hit with a baseball bat and also shoot with fireguns (in locked-on and free aim style).

In short words, the possibilites of the Wii controllers are used here at a very high potential. That is also why it makes so much fun. I really can not image to play with the regular controlls like on xbox or on a pc.
