Tag Heuer’s V4 watch
Another thing I found very interesting is this concept watch. Gimme one of them … 😉
Lightspace
Looking through pages writing about the OLED Keyboard I have found something very nice.
I have seen something made by some students at MIT before but this one is a commercial pendant to it. An interactive blinking floor and wall. It was made by Lightspacecorp and you can see some videos here.
I really have to admit that it is a nice thing something in the style of the lighting dancefloors known from the 80’s disco. I really would like to see that in some club nearby so I could dance my ass off on it 😉
OLED Keyboard updated!
Good news everyone!
From the new FAQ on the Optimus keyboard homepage:
It’s in initial stage of production
We hope it will be released in 2006
It will cost less than a good mobile phone
It will be real
It will be OS-independent (at least it can work in some default state with any OS)
It will support any language or layout
Each key could be programmed to produce any sequence
It will be an open-source keyboard, SDK will be available
Some day it will be split (‘ergonomic’)
It will most likely use OLED technology (e-paper is sooo slow)
It will feature a key-saver
Keys will use animation when needed
I snipped out some uninteresting stuff (see their page if you still want to read them).
The most important thing is that it will get real! Weehoo! I have to save money to buy it in 2006 😉
The open source thing is also veeery nice 😉 The other things too. 😉
I am already looking forward to that shiny lightning keyboard!!!
DE:BUG and Sami Koivikko
Yesterday I heard a Mixtape on DE:BUG. It was so good that I have to share that with you. It was made by Sami Koivikko and is called hot pepper. I am now checking out his other mixtapes. I will post if I find something good.
All exams over!
Finally all exams are over!
With the todays exam I was already ready after 45minutes what a nice feeling! I have never finished an exam in such a short time till now!
Now I go partying! Scoll!!! 😉
An Oled Keyboard
Fascinating! Through Slashdot in this article I have found the keyboard of my dreams!
In every key there is an oled display that shows the current function this key has. I was thinking about something like that some time ago. I should have patented it :/
I only hope that some day someone will produce such a keyboard!
Only one more to go!
The SE exam was not that hard at all. I really managed to write everything down. That was a lot of writing.
I had to write down some use cases, create a data model, create an interface for a class and that is nearly it. I am not sure how many mistakes I have done there though. That means I am not sure what grade it will be, but I have a good feeling about it.
Now there is only one more exam to go: DB. Now I will do some previous exams to get a feeling what is expected. I hope that will go smooth. Still, wish me luck. 😉
Tomorrow at this time I will probably be already drinking beer with some friends in Sinnlos. We have to celebrate that the exams are over. I am really ready for vacation! 😉
Too many Exams
Sigh… that is a really busy week. Writing 7 exams in one week is really a mess. It sucks all your brain out. There are still 2 to go. One about software engeneering and one about DB systems. Whish me luck … I hope that I will be able to write a bit more in the blog when they are over.
Now I need a bit rest after today’s compiler exam that was really hard. I did not expect it to be such a problem. I only hope that I managed to do it well enough to get a 4 :/ I do not really want to write it once more.
After that I continue learning for the next exam. Wish me luck!
You really need Unittesting!
Some days before I wrote about how important Unittesting is and thanks to Uwe’s Blog i got another proof.
That reminds me of writing the diff code for Diagnostics. The tests were fundamental in gaining a bit of trust in the quality of the code I have written. They triggered one bug after another… that was already in the code that I based mine on (the original code had no Unittesting or anything in the style). I only can shake my head about people not realizing how important that is.
Apropos that some days ago I told someone about Unittesting his response was really ridiculous: “writing that tests is real bloat I really do not have time to run the tests after changing one line code”. Read the article then you will understand why you will _take_ the time to run the tests! 😉
