German Wikipedia's 10 millionth article

Hooray ^^ About 4 years ago a lot of people in my area didn't know about that website where you could read so many interesting articles. You guessed right, it is the Wikipedia. I remember most people thought, according to its name, it would be something like a dictionary for a Scandinavian language or maybe an web project about vikings.
But I don't think anyone has forseen such an enormous success. Well today was yet another milestone for the German Wikipedia project: The 10.000.000th article written in German.
So, congrats :)

Meet the Spartans Tracks

Some weeks ago I watched the movie "Meet the Spartans". Well, no questions about any deeper sense in this movie, but it was kinda funny though.
So maybe you noticed some songs and you liked them but you don't really know their names.
Fortunately I faced the same problem and did some research.
Here you go :)

The song you can hear at Carmen's dance scene is the MSTRKRFT Remix of D.A.N.C.E by Justice.
In case you don't find it online simply download the MP3 file through right-clicking on the following link and select save as.

Summer time begins this night

Yes the headline tells the truth. It is still freaking cold from time to time but this night from Saturday to Sunday at 2 AM the Daylight saving time starts here in Germany. This means that on 2 AM the clocks will suddenly jumps to 3 AM.

Too bad I stayed up last night so long because of Gran Turismo 5 and this night there will be even less sleep...

Gran Turismo 5 available for Download

This night I received an email by Sony telling me that the new Gran Turismo 5 Prologue is available for download in the Playstation Store and in shops as Blu Ray disc version. So I were kinda busy this night playing... O:-)

UPDATE #1: To play online you need to download a so called Spec II update. Well right now the servers seem to be too busy, because all the time when I try to download I just get an error code.

UPDATE #2: Woohoo, the update is finally downloading. But it takes ages.... :(

UPDATE #3: Downloads added for Luca Ceccatelli - GET AWAY and Jonathan Underdown - SURV1V3

I like snow, but...

These last few days were kinda weird. See in the morning the weather was usually cold, and I mean really freaking cold. But during the day you got temperatures about 10°...
I mean, hey who doesn't like warm weather like that? See, while I write this, outside it just began to snow. Snow in March isn't that unusual in Siberia, or places like that. But we are living here in Germany...

Anyway I hope this crazy weather will end soon because of all these weather changes you get sick pretty easy and I can't really use a cold or something worse right now.

PS: I have no real internet connection right now, so the already posted updates will be completed next week.

Nice random song found

While surfing through the internet I found a song that played in the background of a website.
I easily downloaded the song but it was simply called "1697220303.mp3".
All I knew was that some parts of the lyrics were like this:

When i think about loving that you gave to me then i think about maybe we were meant to be sometimes i cry?

What!?!?!? Yeah it took some time but in the end I found out the song is called "Sometimes I cry" by "New Ridaz". Kinda smooth and relaxing song.



OK, no real video but if you like here come the lyrics.

100% baby :-D

First of all: I am usually really modest and don't like to show off that much.
But last week has been special. About 8 years ago one of my former Math teachers told me something: "Matthias, what ever you gonna do with your life, never ever work with computers or something with Math!"
Yeah I hated this teacher back then. Because of him I didn't pass a very important exam and in the end I started working in IT business until today :)
Well, last Thursday I got the results of a Math test...
And I couldn't believe it: 100% :-D
Of course there was also some luck involved but in the end I can't remember when I had a perfect score in math.
So take that, my former math teacher. You were wrong in every way :-P

PS: Yeah I know this posting is more than just childish but I simply want to enjoy this moment ^^

one more nifty Google tool 'Google Pinyin Pad'

More than a year ago everybody's IT nightmare or darling (depends on your point of view) Google released their cool IME (Input Method Editor) for Chinese out of nowhere.
With this tool you can easily input, suprise suprise: traditional and simplified Chinese characters on your Windows PC. Since I tried it the first time I'm loving it because the built-in dictionary is really awesome. Unfortunately shortly after the release there were some rumours about plagiarizing from a tool by Chinese internet Company Sohu. Well in the end, I don't really care about that because all that matters is that you get a wonderful Input pad ^^

Move on to download it here.
