Back in 2005, we decided to use Sub­ver­sion scm for the source code man­age­ment in the Carpe Noctem pro­ject. This decision sur­vived the last four years but based on what we exper­i­enced dur­ing this time – we even man­aged to some­how blown up our repos­it­or­ies –, the team decided to switch over to git after the World Cham­pi­on­ships 2009. We’ll have to see how things work out now and if people man­age to come to grips with the new system.

Today, I tried to merge some changes for the new Spica ver­sion. As I main­tained a sep­ar­ate repos­it­ory for this pur­pose, I wasn’t sure about how well git merges these data. Sur­pris­ingly, it went just smooth. Only about eight simply con­flicts needed to be solved. This res­ul­ted in my first lightly more com­plex git tree. Looks inter­est­ing in gitk :)

git his­tory

I just read an art­icle on heise.de that sum­mar­ises the res­ults of the 13^th Rob­oCup World Cham­pi­on­ships. With a big sur­prise I dis­covered that Ger­hard and his team the b-it-bots won the Rob­oCup @home tour­na­ment and became world cham­pion! A really great achieve­ment, my con­grat­u­la­tions — no, con­grat­u­la­tions from the whole team!

Just like the b-it-bots, the 1. RFC Stut­tgart man­aged to win both, the Rob­oCup Ger­man Open and the World Cham­pi­on­ships 2009. It was a great match against Tech United! Our con­grat­u­la­tions to this great success!

Exult­ant Mood after RFC’s Second GoalFea­tur­ing Andi

The match against Mostly Harm­less is sched­uled for 17:00, as already poin­ted out in the last post. We already star­ted pre­par­a­tion, I’ll try to keep this post updated.

17:57: End Game

17:55: Goal! CN 3 – 0 Mostly Harm­less (actu­ally no goal, because it was just rolling towards and into the goal)
17:xx: Game Star­ted (Second Half)

17:32: Half Time

17:30: Goal! CN 2 – 0 Mostly Harm­less (time approx)
17:17: Goal! CN 1 – 0 Mostly Harm­less
17:17: Game Star­ted (First Half)

Our next match is sched­uled for 17:00. Against Mostly Harm­less. They improved really a lot since the Ger­man Open in Han­nover this year, really incred­ible. Will be a hard game for us. But it will also be fun, because these mostly harm­less guys are actu­ally really nice guys (even though they are mostly Aus­trian … no, no, I didn’t say any­thing; no, don’t beat me! I’m almost Aus­trian… well. No. That’s … no. But. Well.)

So what else can I say? It was actu­ally quite great to get only pre-filtered inform­a­tion through band­width lim­ited chan­nels such as Jab­ber. Now, I have to think about what to post here myself. Dif­fi­cult. 1. RFC Stut­tgart seemed to have prob­lems, their matches looked not that nice com­pared to the first days (this assump­tion is based on what I was told). I’m nev­er­the­less sure that they will both improve a lot until the finals on Sunday. Ah, and Mostly Harm­less’ goal keeper. They shot at it, broke some cover, and thereby shif­ted the cam­era sys­tem. After­wards, the goalie was unable to do any­thing any more.

More to be pos­ted later… look­ing for­ward to the upcom­ing match.

Hallo and hi again, this time dir­ectly from Graz, next to the play­ground. The next match, Carpe Noctem against Water, is about to start in the next minutes. I’ll try to do some pseudo-live blog­ging for my audi­ence (if there is one, actu­ally?). Please keep in mind that I’m quite nervous before and dur­ing matches, so … updates might be a bit delayed.

14:40: End game
14:33: Game Star­ted (Second Half)

14:20: Half Time

14:18: Goal! CN 1 – 0 Water
14:05: Game Star­ted (First Half)
