From Agile to Anarchy

TM1 development has undergone a subtle evolution over the years.

As a relatively early adopter (I still refer to TM1 as an Applix product occasionally, and I remember the original version of TM1Web) of the technology, I’ve watched this evolution with interest, and feel what I have been doing with Flow, is an attempt to bring that evolution full circle and get back to those early glory days.

32c3 gated communities

Obwohl ich verschlafen habe, gab’s um kurz nach halb zehn noch Tagestickets – Daumen hoch. Bisher gesehen: den Openening Event, „The mummy unwrapped“ und jetzt „NSA-Untersuchungsausschuss: Zwischen Aufklärungswillen und Mauern aus Schweigen“.

xyz „ohne Programmierkenntnisse“

Ich bin mir gerade nicht sicher, ob ich die Aussagen von Softwareherstellern, man könnte ihr Werkzeug „ohne Programmierkenntnisse“ einsetzen, verfluchen oder willkommen heißen soll.

Verfluchen, weil: das Versprechen ist uneinhaltbar. Willkommen weil: ich darf das dann aufräumen und werde dafür bezahlt.

Native IPv6

Yay, we have native IPv6 connectivity now! I just called the service line of my provider. While I was on the phone the agent said „Yes, I am sure to activ…“ buzz buzz buzz – line was cut when she changed the setting.

Small problem

Well, I got into the habit of playing minecraft. I did an automatic wheat farm that is creating so much wheat I’m having to deal with the excess, same goes for the potato farm.

A real problem seems to be my portal based gold farm. Since I built everything around the spawn chunk, the zombie pigmen spawned by my zombie farm will hang around indefinetly, which isn’t a problem in the overworld, but kind of gets problematic on the nether side of things:

Due to extraordinary success of my pigmen spawner, the guys decided to have a cocktail party in the nether that got out of hand.

It’s a bit hard to get those unwanted party guests to leave without cheating. So to add method to the madness, I shall create a piston mob trap and crusher to get these guys to drop the gold nuggets they carry around.

If I get those endermen to leave, that would be a definite plus!
