So after a long period of inactivity I am back to post something on my blog .
On my Climbing Roadtrip this summer I recognized that I am much too weak, don’t have enough power, endurance etc.
So I thought that it would be good to train hard this winter so I can pull on harder next year. I’m going to train approximately 5 times a week, 4 times in the gym and once a week I want to go outside.
To gain the maximum out of my training I also created a Trainingplan which I will upload as soon as I can to share with you. It would be cool to get suggestions how to improve it. So stay tuned, I’ll upload soon.
After a long time thinking which crashpad I should use I decided the Ocun Paddy Moonwalk would fit my requirements the best. It can be opened in two ways thanks to a zip. With these zip you can unfold your pad in two ways. When unfolded it is 132*100*10 or 200*66*10 centimeters big. When you unfold it the “long” way you can use it as a comfortable sleeping mat.
First I had some doubts because it has no flap like most of the new pads and I couldn’t believe that you can get such high quality for this price (140€). But when it arrived today I was positively surprised of the quality of the material and the processing.
Also my doubt that it has no flap and that therefore the luggage will fall out easily is unmet since it is possible to position the zip so that it isn’t possible for any of the luggage stored inside to fall out.
On my way surfing through the net, looking for some cool snooker stuff, I found an interesting Youtube page with a lot of Snookervideos and also some cool training stuff. There are over 275 Snooker related Videos featured!
From what I have watched so far the videos that helped me most are of the “Understanding Modern Snooker” series by the famous Snookercoach Jack Karnehm.
I’ve managed to draw the Mandelbrotmenge in color recently. Here you can see a screenshot:
Looks kinda ugly, doesn’t it?
The problem is that I can’t really say which colors I want. The only way to establish other colors is by applying it to a gradient, but I’m not very motivated to do that.
The new KDE 4.0 has been released recently and I’ve already tested it out on my laptop.
Overall the new Look & Feel is great, there are just some things I don’t like, e.g. the huge Taskbar Icons which look a little bit stupid in my opinion. It also looks to me as if it is not completely finished at the moment. There is no configuration gui for the taskbar and some of the new (especially for KDE 4 designed programms) are buggy. For Instance the new version of Amarok is not configurable since the configuration window is too big to click on any of the Buttons at the bottom (which is quite bad, since you need them to save your changes) or that amarok (xine) can’t load my audiodrivers.
That’s all for now, hope I can provide you with some more detailed information soon.
Found this video of two Krochas of my school on youtube. In Addition to not knowing what is embarrasing, it seems that they and their friends can’t handle the german language (as you can see in the comments).
As you maybe know everybody has a “footprint”. Some footprint tests have appeared recently which make it easily to calculate your global footprint. You simply have to answer some questions.
As you might have read in my post regarding my goals for 2008, I plan to do my first 1 arm pull up this year. This is a great challenge for me and so I started my training today.
It seems that the Edelweiss Boulder center in Vienna got a complete redesign regarding holds. Over the weekend many new Holds were added and all of the old holds got brushed and replaced. This offers us a great new challenge to find new Boulders and Movementproblems. Let us see whats possible.
But as every progress this also has its downsides. I’m very sad that I can’t climb some of the old boulders, especially because I got three new shown on Wednesday and didn’t have the time to really try them.
After endless hours of searching for an error in the algorithm or in the display I managed to get the Mandelbrotmenge up and running with MPI. But the error was neither in the algorithm nor in the display of the data. It was a small quirk of MPI that held me up 8 hours and seems to be rather undocumented (or I’m too dumb to read the documentation).
But it finally works now.
For all you people who are learning MPI and don’t get your program to run correctly when using MPI_Gather then try this:
