My CSM study WS09/10

24.Jun 2009 - 05:53 | Tags: hdm, csm, my life

Ok, seeing as the new “these are the lectures that will be available” PDF file just got released, I have already started planning:

Lecture ECTS Prof
Agiles Projektmanagement und Coaching 9 Kretzschmar
Verteilte Architekturen und Middleware 3 Kriha
System Engineering und Management 3 Kriha
Spezielle Themen mobiler Kommunikationssysteme 3 Maucher
Mediensicherheit und Digital Rights Management 6 Schmitz

==> 25 ECTS (should in theory be enough. I think I only need 23)

Dreamhost's laughable excuse for system administration

07.Apr 2009 - 18:31 | Tags: my life, nerdstuff, dreamhost, things that suck, rant

I recently had some problems with my backup user’s account (Dreamhost actually gives you 50GB of personal backup space). But this answer pretty much makes me want to leave… sadly, I don’t think Dreamhost will give me a partial refund for the money already paid.

Just read the following Answer I got from the Dreamhost support:

Sorry about the continued inconvenience the backup issues are causing.
The problem is that the volume of the backup server where your user
stores its data is currently full. Our admins are working on distributing
the users and adding more space, but the very rough estimate I received
is that this won’t most likely be done until the end of next week. There
is also some user misconfiguration issues going on, so that would explain
why you can’t delete the files. Sorry about that.

Ok, das sind dann wohl meine “5 minutes of internet fame”: http://blog.daimler.de/2009/03/23/sind-sie-alle-so-ich-glaube-schon/

Zu meiner Verteidigung:
Ich habe das “Sind die alle so? – Ich glaube schon” im Satz danach relativiert…

Can I has podcast? Apparently yes :)

26.Feb 2009 - 19:01 | Tags: my life, nerdstuff, podcast, android, radio tux

This one is in german:

Klein ist die Welt! Ich hab mich neulich bei der Aufnahme von MobileMacs im korrespondierenden IRC chatraum herumgetrieben um meinen Senf ganz interaktiv beizusteuern.
Lustigerweise war auch ein Benutzer mit dem Nick “Savar” im selben Raum und den Namen kannte ich irgendwoher. Savar ist Ingo, ein Kommilitone von mir und einer der Moderatoren/Veranstaltern/Foo von Radio Tux.
Nachdem ich dann einigen Senf zu Android bzw dem G1 abgegeben hatte hat er hat mich dann angesprochen ob ich mal Lust hätte bei ihm im Podcast was zur Android Plattform zu sagen.
Ich hab dann mal ja gesagt, war was neues und klingt ja auch recht unterhaltsam :)

Lange Rede kurzer Sinn: Vorher im Studio, jetzt schon im Interweb —> RadioTux@HoRadS #52 with yours truly
Die Copypasta zur Beschreibung:

Heute ohne Andi und Jens aber mit Studiogast Marc Seeger. Wir reden über das Master Studium an der HdM bzw. das Bachelor/Master System allgemein außerdem ausführlich über Android und das T-Mobile G1 / HTC Dream Telefon. Was es alles hat, wie man dafür programmiert und wo die reise hingeht.

Die MP3 gibts auf der Seite von RadioTux

A paper I had to write for a lecture called “Application Security”. Kinda sad that I missed OAuth :(

eXpansys: Get your sh*t together!

17.Feb 2009 - 06:28 | Tags: my life, rant, expansys, sony, prs 505, ebook

Just a short rant:

A few days ago, eXpansys UK offered a refurbished version of the Sony PRS 505 for approx. 150 euros
ebook-prs-505-713816

Seeing as this was a nice deal and I happened to be fast enough to actually buy while they still had them in stock, I was pretty happy with my decision to buy one.
To my bad luck, eXpansys seems to have a REALLY crappy online-shop system.

A few days after my purchase ( the system doesn’t seem to be fully automated…), I had this on my Order Tracking page:

expansis

Aparrently you simply can’t order things from the UK site and have them send to Germany. There are parts of the Euro Zone this would have worked.
I could have even gotten it send to the Canary Island, but Germany was a problem. I would actually have had to call the German part of the company (expansys.de) and tell them the item I wanted to order the reader (which doesn’t appear on the german website as it’s not available in germany jus yet).
The system didn’t really care all that much and simply held my order back for a few days. It also didn’t bother to actually mark one of the readers as “ordered” but simply let all of the other ones sell out.
—> While the guy on the phone was pretty nice, it turns out that this all results to a “oh yeah, we don’t have any of those in stock anymore… I’ll just cancel your order kthxbye”


celebrity stalking in reverse

15.Feb 2009 - 16:07 | Tags: lol, my life, nerdstuff, snl, tina fey, twitter

Over the last few days, I was kinda creeped out by how many people started following me on twitter.
Here’s a short graph displaying the amount of me being creeped out (thanks to twittercounter.com btw for graphing that kind of stuff).

followers_graph

I usually get 1-2 new followers per month and I usually just check if they’re bots/following 20000000 other people and block them in case they are.
Over the last few days I received 5-6 new followers per DAY. While I was pretty puzzled about the fact that random strange people started following me, I had the great idea to ask the twitter crowd itself. Here are the answers:

answers

While I’m sure “those photos” could have something to do with it, robartaw99’s answer seems a bit more likely
Tina Fey is following me!

tina_fey_following_me

I’m the icon directly under Obama. While I think this means I now have got political power, I am still a little bit unclear about how I got the attention of Tina Fey ó_Ã’

p.s. for the people how don’t know Tina Fey:
She’s an actress on the US comedy show Saturday Night Live and really got attention when she impersonated Sarah Palin
