hope you all had some good time with family, friends or geeks. were going low for 2011. best time to put new effort into the blog.
that auto update for wp went surprisingly well and im trying out the new wp theme twenty-eleven. not so individualistic but still sweet. editing with an android pad is a bit crappy and even with the app its only an inch better. So i leave it for today with a little happy xmas quote. With an extra x.
if you run ordinary setups for php think about using the xcache opcode cache. it will make your TYPO3 backend and frontend faster.
while this knowledge is wide spread, i´d like to express my feelings about a very responsive t3 backend after giving more meat to the xcache size. put 80Ms there. xcache comes with a nice admin log which shows the cache hits and misses, here are the explanations.
the t3 backend (the newer the better) is lightning fast even on larger installations (hundreds of editors) due to high cache count of necessary php files. uhm, and before i forget: of course the database server must be cool, too — or you will wait for the queries to be finished and thus all the php engine speed would idle around.
if you own the ea/dice game battlefield bad company 2 and played your soldier up to some serious level you´d definitely would not like what the developers might call the database layout of the login system for this game. to me it feels like we all paid a bunch of good money to ea to get a better-tested beta version of bfbc2 to own. despite the low performance of some weekend´s stats db of bfbc2 the login systems keeps coming up with some real pain in the ass bug that seems to correllate with the clan tag.
if that´s what you´re facing today try this:
that solved it today for me. and i really consider not to choose battlefield 3 since ea seems to give a crap for the lots of bfbc2 customers since they seem not providing any updates for this game anymore. i mean, how old is this game anyway?
i´m very disappointed and wonder when games like of a quality like unreal tournament 2004 come back to stage in times of downloadable/paid content that
yes, that would make my wishlist for today.
oh, and just to add a little tale that all of you bfbc2v players will recognize: the guys at ea really think we want to re-assign the kit specs -everytime- after we have switched to vietnam/original and played a class. so, if you happen to play as recon in vietnam your weapon settings in bfbc2 will be reset; and vice versa. how -cool- is this? never got what a great feature that makes >> always set up your stuff from the beginning. if the game was not that cool, i´d long have deinstalled it!
as i already am posting videos so i don´t need to put so much text into the thread this one is quite worth it. “cleverman”.
i like the deep club sound! technoid but natural 
today i got my numark mixmeister control surface and i not even installed the included software since i mix music with my traktor pro. the mm control provides all the encoders i need to completely remove the keyboard and mouse from my mixing hours. input mapping worked okay due to the cool controller editor from ni, but making the controller show stuff like track cueing or fx status… that worked not so well.
as i didnt find them over the net: these are the (channel 1) notes to trigger the leds of the mm control
C#6 Preview C6 Jog Wheel B5 Fader 4 A#5 Fader 3 A5 Fader 2 G#5 Fader 1 G5 Mix top F#5 Stop top F5 Play top E5 Mix bottom D#5 Play bottom D5 Stop bottom C#5 T6 C5 T5 B4 T4 A#4 T3 A4 T2 G#4 T1 G4 S4 orange F#4 S4 green F4 S3 orange E4 S3 green D#4 S2 orange D4 S2 green C#4 S1 orange C4 S1 green
weird thing is, that you need to substract one octave from every note inside traktor´s controller editor. so, if you read D4 make it D3 and you´re fine.
fortunately, i find myself living in a country that appears to accept freedom of speech, freedom of data. while i´m quite aware that this ideology is not to be supported in future concepts to keep masses controlled i find every citizen should try to gain knowledge in bypassing common web censoring methods. how do you think about that? i find this very interesting and simultaneously hope that the information in the web remains free.
if you happen to sit behind an ip barrier that i.e. stops wikileaks you might bypass it in ways (free of charge) like these
simple thing to do and it does not cost anything. of course you could set up tor to communicate privately (hence making ip resolving useless).
another approach would be to ask a service like web2mail to compress the website you want to see and let them send it to your email box. then you see the requested page after unpacking the file you received. clicking a link would result in asking web2mail for the target and another email.
All these ways were told during a talk at this year´s sigint that you can watch at media.ccc.de
recently i reactived my smartphone from it´s oblivion and hence all the mobile activities were a bit cutoff during the last weeks. let me say months, but that was not only the issue with the smartphone. damn cell battery is becoming weak a half year after purchase.
i thought about the virtual effigy most people produce. fortunately, my activites mostly stay controlled and no excessive drinking bout became evident (afaik) in the network (right now). don´t know if that is the main aspect of data security but the trail we leave in the sand is quite persistent. wow, i just wanted to write down that my blog is underpopulated which is a pity, and i end up contemplating about the virtual identity issue.
give me a few posts to habituate myself to blogging. nevertheless, i´m cool with 1-to-n communication (where n includes you, whether you´re bot or human). leaving us defining when an entitity will be able to extract the semiotic meaning of itself, i´d rather go now and have some real life – beginning with a tasty shisha.
and i hope my smartphone will at least stand by for the next few hours, calling that a “milestone”.
