Dazu muss ich sagen, dass ich die Känguru-Bücher für großartig halte und auch Qualityland sehr mag und gerne empfehle.
Ich hab dann übrigens jedes Kapitel vom Buch angelesen und dann übersprungen. Selbst die von Kling inkl dem Känguru-Kapitel waren nicht dolle. Sehr enttäuschend.
Diese zwei Sammlungen an Kurzgeschichten von Marc-Uwe Kling und seinen Kollegen kann ich überhaupt nicht empfehlen.
Lese ich das Buch jetzt weiter, weil ich dafür Geld ausgegeben habe oder lass ich es links liegen, weil es Mist ist?
Things that kind of frightening me about myself: I have fun configuring and working with Jira and Confluence…
There should be a kill-switch: „Tour device is too out-of-date and isn’t allowed to connect to the internet anymore.”
At least that would generate pressure to update all this old stuff (customer- and enterprise-devices).
Old Android devices are so broken… a device from 2012 doesn’t know root certs from end of 2010. And people connect those things to the internet…

In den Büchern von Marc-Uwe Kling und seinen Kollegen, schreibt mindestens einer ihäufig, dass Kling so bekannt wäre und dass die Leute nur wegen ihm kämen. Leider ja. Das Känguruh ist witzig und regt zum Denken an. Die Kollegen tun leider weder noch :/
I told myself I wanted to read more at the end of last year. 7 books in 12 days…good pace so far I guess But I probably slow down now. I kind of like the concept of sleep.
Seriously: read the Twenty Palaces-novels by Harry Connolly. Start with Child of Fire. I read now three books and one novella in 6 days. They are terrific Urban Fantasy-entertainment. Only one book left (the prequel). Meh. I hope he writes more soon.
What I still don’t understand about Meltdown and Spectre is, how targeted the attacks can be. Can I get only some random memory, can I dump everything, can I aim for example for a certain process (like the password manager of a user in a different vm) etc…
„A Burglar‘s Guide to the City“ is not really what I expected and there are often passages where I thought that they could have been shortened. So far 3 out of 5 (page 157 of 296)
Update: Finished it now. Pretty good book after all. 4 out of 5 , sometimes a bit too long. I would have hoped that there is more about architecture and more details in terms of weaknesses. And I think about getting some lockpicks again.
Uncharted Worlds seem to be the better choice for our group than Traveller. Simpler rules, more or less the same setting. And simple rules are king when you play only once a month imho.
TIL: HumbleBundle doesn’t show you when you purchased a bundle already. But double purchases seem so normal, that they are in the pull-down for support requests 🤦♂️
The Pilot Frixion Gel Pen is really good. Its grip is great, it dries fast and the eraseability is awesome.
A friend went into an electronic discounter & got a laptop recommended with 4GB RAM and a slow HDD. The moment windows update does stuff it gets slow as hell & she wonders what the problem could be. Dear discounters people really think they get good advice from your sales people.
Tomorrow I‘ll receive a new Bulletjournal and Frixion gel pens. Let‘s see if I can get into paper again in 2018. For studying I believe in paper more anyways for taking notes and exam preparation. Laptops are great for writing papers but not for getting stuff into your head.
As I have written before I will soon start studying CS part-time. Any recommendations for getting through math (besides visiting every session and doing all the homework - that’s how I got through all those math (or heavy on math) courses in economics at least)? Any good books?
How does it come that the bios of my shadowrun-characters get darker & grittier the older I get? In the past it was the cool hacker, the war hero who used his skills in a more profitable way. Today it is the hardened criminal, abused as a kid, trying to survive in a world of pain
