I know, it has been several months since I went for the flat-hunt, but I just got to throw away all the paper-stuff regarding this hunt. It's quite a bunch! See for yourself:

flat-waste

... I'm bored, the Hellgate:London Demo was way too short ...

The party went smoothly and I think everyone had a good time. Thanks again to all you guys for coming, you rock! I took some pictures, but I'm afraid I can't show them here without embarassing some people. Ok, me. So, what you get is our guests art on our chalkboard:

there were headaches

Even if we didn't even get close to gulping all that booze (after all, there came some extra bottles as fluid company from our guests), I'm still a little shaky on my legs and I haven't tried solid food yet. A good evening :D

This "makro"-function of my camera is nice ;) Guess, what it is - or don't, would be too easy anyways.

makro is fun

In other news. The big christening of the new apartment is tomorrow and the booooze is already here :D

there are going to be headaches

There are going to be headaches. And vomit everywhere. Especially, if you consider the beer- and wine-supplies not included in the picture.

In today's PicBlog (I bet that term isn't even new 0.o) ... *traraa* ... Munich, covered in fog!

I'm afraid, the amount of original motives that can be photographed without leaving my desk are limited. Expect repetitions soon!

Still doing the photoblog, regardless of what Maddox says. Screw him, he isn't reading my page anyway. I am :) ... :/ ... :(

Ikea. In a nutshell. a watch in a foil
IKEA in a nutshell. Add some rage. A watch in an antistatic RAM-foilbag.
Is that deep or what!

Uuuh, even two pictures in a photoblog. If you don't want to read/see photoblogs, Maddox, don't go there. It's a free web, "dipshit".

Thanks to the article banish from maddox on maddox' page I now start a photoblog with this "hello world" photo (isn't it delightfully nonsense but interesting at the same time?):

photoblog: exiguous picture 1


Because, he can't tell me what to do.
... and I would put here even more links , if I wasn't too lazy. If you can't remember what you were reading seconds before, find a neat nursing home (you're to old for the net anyway - hell, I am!) or a good neurologist. Or maybe, just maybe, don't follow every bloody link. They don't run away. Honestly.
And if the texts are too narrow for you, use the zoom-function. As you force some of us to do to read your page (see previous post).

#### I FOUND THE THRUTH ####

It was hidden here for all this time: http://maddox.xmission.com/ (by the way, thnx to my sister for sending me the link!). Hey, don't yawn at me, if you already knew! I didn't! And now, enlightened as I am, I will go a little bitching about stuff. Bitching is good.

And, since I decided to start already, let's throw dirt at the prophet of the truth: Maddox, your stylesheet is shit. Bullshit. From a surprisingly ugly bull. Bright text in front of black is so kewl, you can't read anything afterwards when you have to read something else - which is black on white, because the whole universe agreed millenia ago that this is the way it's supposed to be. And they had a cause: Black on white makes your eyes water and tire them. You do it differently? You suck!
Oh yeah, and your point is of course much clearer, when you print it in a extra large letters. So noone has to zoom, because they are to blind to read everything else on the net, right? Screw all those Wii, PocketPC and Nokia E70 (!) operators. One letter a screen is perfectly readable after all.
... but love your texts, maddox ...

My totaly finished kitchen hehe, I´m currently sitting on my pr0n couch next to my beautiful girlfriend to write this post. With the wii-mote. Pity, you can´t see how slow this happens - would be a good laugh ;)

In other news: I started to play basketball again. Crappy. But I don´t care, it´s decidedly more fun than just pumping iron and I´m more exhausted than I´ve been for years :D Also, my kitchen is done. Completely done. Everything works fine and looks good (see for your self - even if the picture is not that good - on the left). Woo, I'm a craftsman now ;)

projects

Below, you'll find a list of projects I did - or am still at. Of course, no project is ever finished, but some are, well, sleeping peacefully.
Not all of this stuff was done on my own, people who helped are honored on the respective subpages.

Flipz

Flipz screenshot Get your brain juices flowing with this fun pattern-juggling puzzle game.

Or, humiliate your friends in a two-player hot seat match!

hAiR

hAiR screenshot This project was created in an Augmented Reality course at my university. You put a kind of helmet on your head and the computer tracks your head and blends hairstyles on your head. If the result is not exactly what you wanted, you can use different "brushes" to modify, how extrem the style looks, change the color or even add new new strands.

photopolis

photopolis screenshot Another university project. The program takes your complete photo library and builds houses according to the date when the picture was taken and assembles them to create a city. Then, you can explore this city with typical fps-controls. So, if you have enough pictures, you can stroll through your memories: Take the christmas road and turn right to the 2004-avenue.

FourWins3D

FourWins3D screenshot This program started as a hhh (half-hour hack) during a short trip in the holidays: I love playing a game of four in a row once in a while and forgot to take my set. Well, I never forget my loyal notebook, so I hacked something at least playable together. Then hacking was fun again - so, the current version is fully 3D and playable over the web.

AudioPhield

FourWins3D screenshot My major university project. Goal of this program is to make your computer listen to music similar to the way humans do to automatically estimate musical attributes like speed, used instruments, rhythmic components, and so on. Then, AudioPhield depicts a new kind of interface for new ways to interact with your music.collection

VsGolf

VsGolf screenshot One of the most interesting projects I was involved in. You play a kind of virtual team-golf-game: Virtual balls lie around anywhere in the city and especially in home-areas. Balls in your home-area are bad, they cause your time to lose points - so kick them out of your area, when you find them. The real kicker about this game is that it is played via your cellphone! You find a ball by (perhaps randomly) walking over its position and kick it by stepping back and running over the place, where the ball lies. Real fun, if you have a mobile phone with GPS!

PoRoBa

PoRoBa screenshot This project is the main cause for the existance of this site - and also names the domain. A huge part of this site is dedicated to that game.

lnx

Ok, I know what you think: "WTF?? A 'links'-section? This is sooo nineties and embarassing private homepage" ... Well - it is ;) But this links section is there for ME mostly. I just want to have my links handy wherever I am. Yesyes, I know, there's del.icio.us and stuff like that, but I like this style better ;)

Legal note: I do not check all sites below frequently! At the time, I placed the link, these sites did not offend against any German or international law I'm aware of. However, sites change - if one of the sites offends now, I'm sorry and take my recommendation back. Please let me know, so I can delete the link!

studies

Below, you'll find a list of courses I did during my studies at the LMU in munich. This is as much for me to remember what I actually did as for anyone, who is interested in what I should know and what the LMU offers.
On the bottom of the page, there is a table of stuff I'm experienced in, technical stuff that is.

creations

This page contains all kind of stuff I did. Computer stuff. No big projects, nothing fancy, nothing I'm particularily proud of. But, well, I put it here anyway. You can't stop me. Take anything you like below and use it for whatever you like, but please refer to me or this site, when you do so!

Well, soon ... ish

uhm ... what? where am I?

So, you stumbled on this page and have no idea, what you're doing here. I, the almighty king of this realm, have no idea, either.

But here's what this page is all about: This is the private homepage of a single person, KoMaXX, and what you will find here may be typical for private homepages. So, there is a blog (stupid ranting about ... uhm ... we'll see), self-glorification, some projects, finished or for ever under development, and stuff like that. Most of this half of the site, the komaxx-part, is effectively my playground and virtual business card.


Feel free to roam around and look smug. And if you own a PocketPC, take a look at PoRoBa, perhaps you'll like it.

faq

Frequently asked questions. Mail me what's missing!
What does "PoRoBa" mean?
"Pocket Round Based". You are allowed to snicker. When I started the project, I didn't realize that German "rundenbasierte" games are called "turn based" in English. And now I stick to it. After all, "poroba" does also mean "slavery" in Czech. That's appropriate, I sometime feel like a slave to this project.
Does PoRoBa work on VGA-PDAs?
My guess is: "no". I don't have VGA-gear, so I can't test it. If I'll finally have one, it will work.
Is there a version for my PalmOS/MacOS/Android/Symbian?
Sorry, Windows Mobile only. PoRoBy is written in C# footing on the .net compact framework. As long as this framework and something similar to the gapi.dll are not available for other platforms, there will be no support. I don't want to rewrite everything.
Can I offer PoRoBa on my CD/homepage/...?
You are welcome to do so - but please inform me about this distribution.
I don't hear anything?
That's all right, PoRoBa doesn't play any sounds. Most people don't even seem to miss them. If I have no more ideas of what to include, sounds might be a possibility ;)
