.. all day just learning. I am now finished with going through all subjects once. Six days left. Sent e-mails to some more lecturers to get some information on their subjects, too. My learning per day has to increase yet, though.
So tomorrows main project is to wake up early - and I'm usually not good at it... ;)

This consultation was very good, I have to admit. I contacted the people of the area of expertise, I always was most unclear about(the ones with the tests, where they ask to draw certain pictures.. ;) ).
The main professor is gone since some time now, so I was visiting his fugleman - Mrs. Barb Scheller. No, that first name is no abbreviation. She was very nice although she didn't let me say much. I just began my sentence with "Well, I wanted to get a general overv..." and she started to make a complete processmanagement walkthrough in 20 min. - during which I didn't talk too much.. ;)
After that I moved to the next guy, Mr. Petsch, who does IT-Strategy. Well, he was nice, too and stabilized my thinking, that it can't be that hard.
So, now I'll create some abstract from the highlights of the Barb-session..
Good day until now! :)

Yup, yup - I got a fancy, short haircut now again. And I even like it! :)
Sorry for not being able to provide pictures here now.
Ah - and if you happen to be on the Aida cruise ship in the next half year, go get a haircut from Melanie. ;)
She's my hairdresser of confidence and she will be working on that cruise ship soon. Dunno exactly when though... Doesn't matter - I wish her a lot of fun!

It is Star Wreck, a parody on Star Trek and Babylon 5. It was downloaded 3.5 million times from the website plus the uncounted Bittorrent downloads.
The previous most successful finnish movie was "The Unknown Soldier" of 1955, which 2.5 million people saw.

We just returned from the cinema. After getting the information, that DooM will only be running today and tomorrow and tomorrow my girlfriend couldn't go - quick action: "Move, huaaa!" ;)

I have been waiting for this movie since it was announced the first time - more than 10 years ago! I was very sceptic of this movie. Hopefully they get it right! Then I saw the first trailer some months ago and I was really, really disappointed. Not one guy - a group. Not a green uniform with a helmet - black without a helmet. And so on... Well, then later there appeared another trailer and my hopes rose again... seemed to be pretty good. That this would be a dumb popcorn-movie was very clear to me - but I didn't want anything too intelligent from it either - you know the game, do you? ;)
Well, that I had to watch this movie either way was without question!

The movie is a mixture of Alien, very little Starship Troopers and a lot DooM! :)
Let's forget about my former disappointments - in DooM they start as a marine group(although you will never know about them, if you don't have a look at README.txt ;) ) and in DooM3 you have a black uniform and no helmet! ;)

The movie starts with the attack of aliens and a scientist, who makes an emergency call. This scientists name is - Dr. Carmack! ;)
Then we go to the marine headquarters with some weird but sympathic marines, they don't even seem too stereotype. During the movie you really get to like them. Then we jump into the action quickly, they get sent out and teleport to UAC's Mars facility. That teleporting is actually nicely done. The Mars facility really resembles the games' levels, players of the first DooM will think here or there: "I know that architecture!" And players of DooM3 will additionally recognize the information displays and 'textures'. The main entrance area resembles the first game level a lot.
Enter the quarantine zone: with the original door sound of the first DooM game - at least I felt at home! ;)
Sarge's (yep, resembles Quake, doesn't it?) comment to that: "Game time!"
Now a pretty usable story unfolds, with a lot of splatter, some funny comments and good suspense. I can't say much about the story sadly, since I didn't yet play through DooM3 - but it isn't the original DooM's story at all. Ah, did I mention the the Mars outside shots are exactly like in the game? No, I don't think so - but they are really perfect!
After everybody is dead (except for our main hero, Sarge and the mandatory woman), we get a nice fight between Sarge and the hero, since Sarge got 'bitten' by an Imp. Yes, right, bitten... Imps don't throw fireballs, they shoot their tongues at their victims to 'infect' them and make them turn into monsters. Well, I would have rather seen the burning skulls... but it wasn't a really disturbing difference to the games - surprisingly!
The real highlight of the movie comes before the end-fight though! I was very happy that they dared to do it - and even more, that they got it perfectly right! It's a some minutes 1st person sequence resembling the game as much as ever possible. Take your console down, set FOV to 90, activate God-Mode and go for it! It's really great, with elements from the game here and there, with the small field of view, everything you see is the wall before peeking around corners, the movement feels right - it's just great! :)
What else to say, shortly... Yes, the BFG is in, we get to see some other known weapons, the end credits seem to be done with the DooM3-engine, we only get to see two monsters from DooM, there appears another scientist named "Willits" and actually a lot more to say... go look youself! ;)
And - favourite quote from the movie goes like that..
Sarge: "I was supposed to be immortal!"

So, for every DooM/Quake/ID Software Fan, this movie is a must! For every popcorn Action/Sci-Fi/Horror-Fan a usable and fun evening filler. For people, who can't cope with disgusting scenes and action it's a no-no. All you others:

Go have a look at it - the bigger the screen, the better! :)
