Some minor changes

This time I didn’t make a complete redesign of my website – it’s really lot of work after all – but instead focused on improving the old one. The “about me”- and “portfolio”-pages are re-implemented, so this website is not just a blog. I really like the portfolio design, which I spent a lot of time working on. It’s hard to present programming projects in an appealing way, since I can’t just show the code and say “Hey look at it!”. Code is like poetry, only in a foreign language that not all people speak. And I don’t want to end with a portfolio page like I did before: where my artworks and websites are highlighted the most, because … you know … I don’t consider myself a designer at all, it’s just trial and error.

Don’t concentrate to much on the about-page, it’s just a placeholder for something more elaborate. I need some good photo of me first and a good text which focuses on me. And there are still the obligatory links to my different Web 2.0 accounts missing. Did I mention that everyone and their mum seems to have a Twitter-account? Would like to start my own, but I don’t know what I should write – and who would read it? My friends don’t seem to be very Web 2.0-ish.

Completely unrelated (as usual): I bought an account for the indie-game Minecraft on the second day after I heard from it. Although the graphics look old, it’s very fun and has endless possibilites for the future. It’s still in alpha-stage and I hope that we get some API and can program our own plugins and addons. I’d like to implement a train-system and some landscape-destroying flint – mmh, really reminds of goold old multiplayer Clonk-rounds, building bases, mining gold, flooding caves with water, killing monsters. Minecraft = Clonk – Plugins + 3D.
