We’ve been in the cinema again yes­ter­day. “Per Anhal­ter durch die Galaxis”, Douglas Adams’ The Hitch-Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, was shown. On the one hand it is a remake of the old BBC series, on the other hand simply a funny film ver­sion of the book. Even though in my ima­gin­a­tion Mar­vin was more like Bender, the moon-faced thingy is quite con­genial.
Unfor­tu­nately, some scenes are miss­ing. For example when Mr. Pos­ser is asked to lie down in the mud in front of Arthur’s house. Actu­ally, there’s no (real) mud in the movie. After all, it’s worth the money so: watch it! ;)

There are days when all things run smooth. Then there are other days when everything’s fail­ing. Finally, there’s some­thing in between. Some things are work­ing right out-of-the-box, oth­ers don’t. Ideally, everything works as expec­ted and you get your work done. This con­di­tion, how­ever, only rar­ley occures. Most of the time it’s some­thing in-between and that’s not as excit­ing. It even is a very unsat­is­fy­ing situ­ation: the most unim­port­ant things suc­ceed while the more import­ant ones fail. There are cur­rently so many umim­port­ant but nev­er­the­less inter­est­ing things to do \*sigh\*. Let’s see what’s com­ming next ;)

Some­thing dif­fer­ent: I finally man­aged get­ting ns-2 and nam installed. That’s no big chal­lenge, though. Using configure and make approx­im­ately four times is not that com­plic­ated. Now I’ll have a look at OTcl and friends.

If one gets tangled up with vmware, newer linux ker­nels, arts or esd this site is simply the best! Thanks!

… what’s going to hap­pen today. No mat­ter what, I’m weary. The point is that I’m the “Beruf­sop­tim­ist” (optim­ist by pro­fes­sion), some­times also referred to as Mar­vin, so everything’s going to be fine today. Ok, ok, just kid­ding. Yes­ter­day, I broke two glasses, an empty one and one filled with corn. It’s real fun to clear away thou­sands of tiny little pieces of broken glass, sharp-edged as … broken glass. Great. I didn’t even know that glass is cap­able of break­ing into such damn little pieces. Any­way. My fin­ger is fine again today and the floor in front of the fridge is now clean, too.

A warm and gentle “Hi There” to all of you who are not cur­rently read­ing this. Nice to not see you! I’ve redesigned my web­site espe­cially for you and me. I actu­ally come across here once in a while… Just writ­ing non­sense as I always do. Actu­ally, I’m not only writ­ing non­sense but also talk­ing non­sense. Any­way. Have a good time and … ciao.
