At least I hope so.
Well, let’s start at the beginning:
A couple of weeks ago I finally got time again to take care of my blog. I wrote a few articles and wondered how long I’ll stay active here again.
I believe by now I’m known among my blogging friends as someone who is active like hell and then suddenly vanishes for quite some time.
I thought about the reasons which made me “vanish” and that’s what made me find my very own tagline:
“…when coding passion, gaming addiction, Internet surfing syndrome and the real life collide…
”
As I read that tagline a few times I figured that I can’t stick to my theme as it won’t fit anymore. Also, I’ll have to change a some things to make my blog work with the tagline. Continue…

A while ago I received a newsletter from Codemasters about an upcoming game called “Jumpgate Evolution“:
Jumpgate Evolution is the definitive elite space combat MMO set in an intense action-packed universe. Discover three playable nations, trade valuable commodities, take part in dangerous intergalactic raids, meet and play with friends and live out the dream to become an elite hero, all-controlling commander or infamous space pirate.
The screenshots are very promising, as are the features:
- Engage in Dog-Fights
- Explore a huge and varied universe
- Highly Accessible
- Huge Space Battles
- Three Playable Nations
- Advanced Gameplay Systems
- Player driven world
The game itself looks like a Eve Online variant, so one may wait for the Beta release to judge about it.
If you want to sign up for the beta, visit the Jumpgate Evolution homepage.
I’m signed up already and hope to be one of the many chosen for testing the game. What about you?

With the release of Firefox 3 our favorite distraction bar, or better known as “StumbleUpon Bar”, got a few new features some of us may like others may not want to use.
I don’t want to cover all of the new features.
I only cover one which I don’t use and I believe there are many people who don’t want to use either. I’m talking about the “save as local bookmark if thumbed up or if tagged”.
Maybe you noticed it already:
You stumble a site, you like it and you give your thumb up - Pew, and it is bookmarked.
You want to tag a site - Pew, and it is bookmarked.
I wish StumbleUpon wouldn’t set this feature to auto enabled, or at least they could ask us if we want to use this feature before enabling it. I’m not sure if they mentioned it somewhere and I’m a bit too lazy too Google for it.
Anyway, time to get rid of this feature Continue…
