Tools to learn Japanese signs

Sunday, 22. April 2012

I’ve mentioned it in previous blogs sometimes – my wife and I started to learn Japanese a few weeks ago in the adult education center in Moers (our hometown). We were thrilled to see it’s available and so we booked the course within a blink of an eye. Learning Japanese starts in some parallel ways. Of course, you need to know the words, but it is also very important to learn the signs.

A few days ago, I’ve posted about the Hackintosh I’ve set up. Til this time, it just get’s better – and still is without any Kernel Panics :) Also, we’ve created a second one! Curious? Read on!

Going back to Windows

Sunday, 1. April 2012

OF COURSE, THIS WAS AN APRIL FOOL ;)

 

This all is really crap. Once I thought everything would work fine, I’ve got hundreds of Kernel Panics on my systems. Even the Sat Receiver is showing Kernel Panics as well as the microwave and the computer inside our car. There’s only one possible solution: Going back to Windows.

C’mon! If you guys see a documentation about ANYTHING you’ll see this great OS, no matter it’s a seaport, an airport, NASA, ESA or the local garbage company!

So – here is a screenshot of my old trusty Windows 3.11 that I’d bought back in 1993. Yeah! Luckily I had the 7x 3.5″ floppies laying around and also a FDD from a server – works fine! To make it really retro – I’ve thrown away my TFTs – all of them! All I need is my cool old IBM PS/2 keyboard, this cute Pentium with 32MB of RAM, the S3 Virge card and my good old 14″ CRT :)

Here’s the screenshot (excuse that this is in German – Windows 3.11 was not yet multilanguage):

Let’s build a Hackintosh

Saturday, 31. March 2012

A few days ago, Bryan and I were having a long chat. I told him, that I sold my Mac Pro just a few days before I got the “Go” for my new job (Senior Web Developer) which I will start on Monday, April 2nd. I will work on a great new iMac 27″ there (yey!). The question is: will I be happy with my PC at home and Mac at work? If you scroll through the last years here on my blog, you’ll notice that I was ~90% using a Mac – and quite liked it :)

Yesterday in the evening, right after our japanese training, I thought I should fly a bit. I haven’t done this since October last year, because of no time while the Linux und Windows training. I start my new job as Senior Web Developer on April 2nd, so I have a bit more time at the moment – time to fly I say! :)

A new keyboard for the PC

Saturday, 17. March 2012

That sounds easy, but believe me – it’s not. I admit, I’m a “bit” picky with keyboards. Since I “left” the C64 time back in 1991, I had a faible for buying PC keyboards. Even while the Mac years, I did it differently. When the “bath tube” keyboard (introduced with the G5 as far as I remember) came out, I didn’t liked it. So I bought 2 Apple Pro Keyboards from eBay for a good price. It simply had the better keys and pressure point.
