So yet another season of big brother is starting in Germany, this time it’s ‘The Battle’, two teams battle each other for the resources as it seems now. Even though I am not sure wether I find this morally acceptable here’s the link BigBrother – the Battle. I am sure to be watching some episodes.
Classmates III
Here’s the homepage of a fraternity one of our classmates is member of: Homepage der Akademischen Turnverbindung Ditmarsia Kiel.
Here’s the excerpt of a mail I wrote to Volker about whom else I found (maybe) on the web.

Feeling like debugging
I am not feeling so well. So what’s so funny about that. Read the entry before this. I took work home to do, test out log4j in a lab environment. Yeah got home started feeling ill. I have a terrible throat ache. Each time I need to cough up some slime, I start thinking: log.debug(“Blaarrrgh”). Once I noticed at all the way my thoughts were going I started thinking, well log.debug is okay as long as I do not get to a statement log.fatal(…). Think that’s sick? Me too. But I know the phenomenon as I am sure many other people do.
Way back when I was playing Civilization I like an eleven year old addict (and so was my friend), one day during a gaming break we went to go shopping for junk food – even back then we did – she asked
“I think I have forgotten my money.”
“Well did you save Game?”
“Why?”
“Well we could simply reload and get the money.”
And I did not mean walking back home, I was pretty sure there was a backup there somewhere and I anything went wrong I could simply restart at some save Game. Okay it lasted a moment and we burst out laughing.
Then there was the time when we played Total Annihilation all the time, I kept dreaming I was a Peewee fighting against Kroggoths.
And that night we played Quake jump levels until morning, I lay in my bed and every movement I made felt like jumping on one of those pads, man that was some kind of rollercoaster ride 🙂
Okay now before anyone notices I’ll put the laptop away pretending I did not need to write down weird things while I am sick. Or am I sick?
Excuse me need to log.debug some more.
All your log are belong to us
Another hate rant. So why is my log4j for my service inside axis not working. Anyone got an answer? I don’t I have been tracking this one for two days. Why is it working for other people but not for me? I am trying to read the configuration via the DOMConfigurator and it is not working. It just does not read the config, well it does not give error messages but it is not working either.
Here is the configuration.
<log4j:configuration debug=”true” xmlns:log4j=”http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/”>
<appender name=”general” class=”org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender”>
<param name=”File” value=”/some/path/my.log”/>
<param name=”MaxFileSize” value=”10MB”/>
</appender>
<appender name=”general” class=”org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender”>
<param name=”File” value=”/some/path/my.log”/>
<param name=”MaxFileSize” value=”10MB”/>
</appender>
<category name=”my.class.name” additivity=”false”>
<priority value=”debug”/>
<appender-ref ref=”general”/>
</category>
<root>
<priority value=”debug”/>
<appender-ref ref=”general”/>
</root>
</log4j:configuration>
And here is the corresponding code which is not working:
DOMConfigurator.configureAndWatch(properties.getProperty(“log4j”),50000);
//Testlogger:
Logger logger1 = Logger.getLogger(my.class.name.class);
logger1.debug(“fnord”);
logger1.info(“all hail discordia now at once”);
//Testlogger:
Logger logger1 = Logger.getLogger(my.class.name.class);
logger1.debug(“fnord”);
logger1.info(“all hail discordia now at once”);
This is not producing any logs and in addition there are no errors being logged in the tomcat files and I have not activated log4j logging for axis. Other people in the company are using the same setup with axis and services and very very similar (isomorph!!!) code and for them it is working and for me it is not. Log4j itself is working if I create the appender in the code and give it to the logger via the addAppender method.
Someone suggested there was a problem because tomcat is also using log4j but then he added: well for our application that is no problem.
Victory or desaster?
Verwirrender Krieg: Willkommen in der Koalition der Zweifler – Politik – SPIEGEL ONLINE
Beide Seiten wissen insgeheim, wie sehr die jeweils andere Recht hat. Moralisch. Und diesen moralischen Diskursen kommen die geopolitischen in die Quere. Ich habe mit Freunden gesprochen, die sich in ein und demselben Atemzug den schnellen Sieg der Amis und ein kriegerisches Desaster gewünscht haben, und dabei den Blick nicht von der Mattscheibe gelöst haben, auf der irgendein Leitartikler gerade genau die entgegengesetzten Paradoxien vertrat.
To lazy to translate ….. but yes I think that’s how many people feel: “On the one hand they want the USA to succeed quickly on the other hand the wish them a military disaster”.
And did you notice that Vietnam is being mentionned more and more often?
Antiwar DOS Attack
The Spanish people have managed to stage a DOS attack on the mailservers of their government by sending them 100.000 protest mails. Spanien: Antikriegs-Mails fegen Aznars Partei aus dem Web – Netzwelt – SPIEGEL ONLINE. The artikel says that a majority of the Spanish people are not supporting their prime minister in his pro-war stance.
Way back design
Go take a look at your old homepage at the Internet Archive
Here is what mine looked like in 1999 sonja’s virtual homepage Of course they are copying only about three levels deep so with my stupid intro page I did not get much coverage 🙂
And checkout one more nice thing: the 404 Research Lab, since I made my own 404 page and redirect errors from my college homepage to my new one I get to see what kind of google searches missed their target since I deleted the old homepage. And maybe I’ll be getting more traffic that way.
So there was actually something else I wanted to say but what …. oooh yes our kitchen is going to be delivered next week. Yay!
Open Directory Project
Some time ago I registered as editor for the Unknown Armies category of the Open Directory Project, I never edited anything though. But now I am back and I added about all the links that I could find about the game or related to the game.
Open Directory: Roleplaying: Genres: Horror: Unknown Armiesor

If you have suggestions for more links to be posted or wish to be removed please contact me by either posting a comment here or try to find out my email or post the URL to the open directory with a description.
Oscars and other movies
So I have not seen a lot of ‘great’ movies lately. Well I liked Chicago. Daredevil was disappointing, both X-Men and Spiderman were a lot better. The best thing about Daredevil was Electra. And if even I say that there was too much romance and too little action it must be true. Geez I like romance but …. anyhow then we saw “Suche impotenten Mann fuers Leben” (german movie look it up at imdb) in the sneak preview. The whole movie was embarrassing and dripping with unfunny dialogue.
I am surprised that Michael Moore really got the Oscar for “Bowling for Columbine” because I like it and it is a great movie but I did not think that with its critical view on America and the weapon’s lobby it would get very far. And of course it was no surprise for me to hear, that during his speech he condemned Dabbeliu and the war.
“Catch me if you can” was surprisingly good even though I dislike both Tom Hanks and diCaprio.
There are some movies I still want to see now, but I guess noone will want to go see “Frida” with me. I am not so keen on see “Gangs of New York” I have heard both good and bad about the movie, but again it’s diCaprio. We should have gone to see “My big fat greek wedding” it was supposed to be hilarious, even my former roommate (his family is from greece) said so. And I would like to go see “The Hours” but I think I missed it, as it is not running anymore. Or maybe not yet? But same as Monster’s Ball last year, I won’t get to see it.
So what movies am I looking forward too currently? Matrix II of course and X-men II and LotR III.
Classmates II
I was very surprised after posting the first link list that someone actually commented on the list and it was one of the people whom I had linked to. Abi 96 MGG Durlach. I like to get feedback of course. I have decided to repost the list to my “permanent” homepage at the above link. If anyone else wants to get linked there drop me a note. By the way my real name can be found on my homepage as well.
