This is my first Star Wars fan fiction story I ever wrote.
Right now I’m working on at least one more story, although I will need a bit time before I can publish it on here.
Please keep in mind that Star Wars and anything related is courtesy of Lucasfilm, thus all rights are reserved.
The characters I’m using in the following short story are either invented or the character of an online friend of mine.
You may pass this story along as long as you mention me as the author and have a link to my website.
Maybe you also drop me a line, so I know if you liked the story and considered worth spreading around 
I would like to thank George Lucas for allowing writers like me to write fan fiction staged in the Star Wars universe.
I also want to thank him for the fact that he invented Star Wars, without him I wouldn’t be able to publish this story.

Star Wars®
Episode 2007
A DREAM CONTINUES
As the mighty LucasArts™ continues to ignore the calls of hundreds of thousands of X-Wing and TIE Fighter pilots a small group of fearless veterans try to keep all pilots together.
With the attempt to have all the shattered forces and communities meet at one place, the veterans work on showing the evil LucasArts™ that a huge community is out there, waiting for another X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter® or X-Wing Alliance®.
While working on the final goal of a new Star Wars® space simulator game, the veterans, pilots and communities work on mod, improve, edit existing games with the hope that LucasArts™ recognizes the wishes of them…

The majority of the Internet users should have heard about the World Wide Web Consortium or better known as W3C.
The W3C is the main international standards organization for the World Wide Web (W3). It is arranged as a consortium where member organizations maintain full-time staff for the purpose of working together in the development of standards for the W3.
Or as Michael Martin from ProBlogDesign.com described it in his article “Does Valid Code Help Your Blog?”:
The W3C is the internet’s daddy. They created HTML, CSS, and dozens of other specifications that govern the use of the technologies that makes the internet thrive today. Valid code is code which meets their guidelines, and can be tested in a validator, such as the HTML and CSS ones.
I don’t want to discuss if using valid code should be used in a blog or if it is actually helpful for a blog. To be honest, I had it in mind, but somehow ProBlogDesign.com beat me to it, which is actually helpful because I can skip this part 
To sum Michael Martin’s article up I dare to say that it is useful to use valid code, or better: Web Standards, in a blog.
His reasons are all great, but I have to add one more reason why you should use Web Standards: chances are higher that your blog is accessible by all humans, especially those with disabilities.
Less known among the Internet users is the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) of the W3C. Although some webmaster and “webcoder” know and follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) put together by the staff of the WAI there are way more webmaster / “webcoder” who are not following these guidelines.

The following is not required for my music reviews, so if you only want to know how I review music, you can skip this part.
Computer Configuration
If you are evaluating a game or any other kind of software, you need to know the hardware specifications and the environment of the computer.
So before I explain how I evaluate software let me give you some details about my computer.
Hardware Specification

wow, 4 Blog news in a row…I really need to change that…
Anyway, here are my plans for future articles:
- Continuing the Tutorials
- Adding JavaScript and CSS to the Tutorials, maybe even some MySQL stuff
- Adding code snipplets to the Tutorial sections. These are for public use and are not a real tutorial although I may explain a few things of the code…
- Revamping the Review Category. I will stick with Games, Music and Software for now, but I will present a better review system soon.
- Starting the Review series with some details about my computer and how I will test and review Games and Software.
- I’ll continue stumbling around on the Net to find interesting YouTube videos or other “StumbleUpon” stuff
On a side note:
I finally had the time to get rid of the ugly YouTube (and other) “embed” code and turn it into the nice “object” version.
Special thanks to A List Apart as they have an article about the “embed to object” conversion.
Update:
I forgot to mention it above: I switched from blog.ruelicke.net to www.ruelicke.net as I don’t need extra domains for the blog and for my main page anymore. As of today the blog is my main page.
