As you see, you can watch the world cup with xawtv or telnet - I hope the GEZ doesnt get funny ideas.

Talking about funny ideas, a (still) big german tabloid has problems reading geographical coordinates which made me try Google Earth, that is now eventually available for Linux. The image below shows the spot Angelina Jolie has tattooed on her arm. I should've looked in the IMDB first - it says this is where her adopted children come from. I hope it's not the actual meadow on the airport.

Now let's see if showing Google Earth images is legal :(]]> http://www.lkcc.org/~raimi/nb/archives/2006/05/index.html#e2006-05-31T23_18_06.txt Your name here 2006-05-31T23:18:06+02:00 Raimund 'Raimi' Jacob english, As seen on the Web IMDB for days now:


And I must say, this is the first of these ads I like.

Michael, Stefan and the translators worked hard to pack this release with cool features I cannot understand as a stupid computer scientist. I just did the CVS- and compile-test slavery :)

However, with Qucs you get a free (as in speech) analogue circuit simulator with a real nice GUI and a powerful backend. You can use it for educational purposes and real-life work. Mixing the GUI with FreeHDL 0.0.2 (the release has beed made but the file does not show up anywhere, yet), you get a nice pure digital simulator as well. Man, would I have loved that back in first semester when we worked against those archaic tools I already forgot the names of (chipmunk? diglog? analog?).

Best thing is: Qucs runs about everywhere, even on this silly OS (*.exe downloadabe from sourceforge). And even on the other silly OS, too -- once someone compiles/packs it again. I hope the Debian and FreeBSD maintainers pick the release up quickly, so it becomes available to the rest of the world. In the meantime and thanks to the autotools: 
 ./configure; make; make install
If you have multiple CPUs/CPU cores (for example): 
 ./configure; make -j 4; make install

Although my contribution is mostly motivational and simple (I perform CVS commits for a main developer who doesnt have proper internet access) and I'm a software-guy, I can clearly remember how much I could've used Qucs during my studies of computer science.

Feedback indicates that Qucs is used by some educational institutions already, which is good for the students, because nobody really wants to use SPICE. Now, Stefan found this Japanese introduction to Qucs (try the link again if it doesnt work).

I have to say: Japanese looks really cool :) And this proves that Qucs is used not only by the guy who translated it to Japanese but also by others. Unfortunately, this also disproves my not caring for translations (because they are mostly bad and/or wrong). But perhaps that's a good thing, too.]]> http://www.lkcc.org/~raimi/nb/archives/2006/03/index.html#e2006-03-13T08_57_24.txt Planet Blog 2006-03-13T08:57:24+02:00 Raimund 'Raimi' Jacob deutsch, As seen on the Web, mysql cj, welcher mich dazu gebracht hat, diesen Blog bei planetmysql.de zu registrieren.

Weiterhin bin ich noch unsicher, ob sich MySQL damit einen Gefallen tut, weil ich ja dann einen Grund habe, endlich mal alles zu schreiben, was ich von MySQL und MaxDB halte.
