MacUrT

Woekele from SNT approached me yesterday if I knew how to build a launcher for Urban Terror, my at-one-time favourite game. I remembered I had once written a quick mock-up application called MacUrT that did just that. I never really took it upon me to finish that, since I had a lot of other work todo.

However once woekele talked to me, I felt I had to finish this app. I mean, it's just a little thing. So I spend an evening coding, and here it is the new and probably last version of MacUrT, for all you Urban Terror fans on Mac OS X out there.

Start thinking

It's soooo difficult sometimes to put under words the things you feel and know in your heart are true. There are a lot of things in the US government that I do not agree with by a longshot. I feel they are wrong. Recently I saw the movie Why We Fight. Now of course this might not be the full and complete truth. That doesn't even matter, as long as it makes YOU think about what you are told and what you believe. I advise everyone to go and see this movie. It's absolutely great.

Then on the heals of that, there is this whole issue about the ABCs mini-series "Path to 9/11". It was partly just incorrect or bended truths mixed with reality. Everyone knows the best lie is half the truth. It was nothing I didn't expect to see as part of the gulf of movies and TV dramatizations of 9/11 that are currently being released. It's the on opposite side of the "Why We Fight"-movie you could say. There is nothing wrong with that. What I however did NOT expect was for someone who is key in this issue to come with an eloquent and honest reply. However former-president Clinton did just that in an interview with Fox. You could see this was not prepared. This was a man speaking from his heart and telling the world what he believed. I wish I could put things in words like that man. I have long since forgiven him his human misstep with Monica Lewinsky. I see him as the most honest US president in decades and I know that he now fights to help the WORLD.

IBC 2006

Jean Paul Saman and I visited IBC 2006 again this year, and I have put a small photo tour online. VLC was seen quite a few times again on the floor, this time some of the companies included were names like Cisco, Siemens, Thomsson and Fraunhofer. Our friends from Anevia were there as well of course. It was a busy IBC this year with great weather and we had a wonderful time. I was however a bit disappointed by not seeing much revolutionary technology. It was all basically a refinement of what we saw last year, but nothing really stood out.
Let's hope next year will show as some new things.
