Server
Ordered (or more accurately made someone else order ) a server to leave permanently running. If it works out, it may end up being the smallest server ever. Main features are low-power and low-noise (hopefully). 2004-08-30 Update: Via Eden 533mhz … Continue reading

Alastair Reynolds – Revelation Space
“Revelation Space” is Reynolds’ first book, a hard science-fiction space opera somewhat similar to Vernor Vinge’s novels. I am not going to spoil it, so if you like Vinge’s work, read it. In my opinion it is not quite as … Continue reading

It returns!
After a thoroughly relaxing two weeks, I am back in Germany. I have gotten only slightly sunburnt (on the second day) while swimming (which we did quite a bit of). Also made some nice trips to caves and spent 1.5 … Continue reading
