So today, because I was bored, we had a warsow duel cup. 10 People signed up: lokirulez, mky, Huksi, DalaiLamer, rvg, glitterglove, frk, Gcor3, uNCool and myself. Oldschool style brackets with the wacom and we had some good matches.
The finals were rvg versus mky on acidwdm2 and wdm14. And it were good fights. rvg took home the gold in this entertaining ad hoc quickcup. Thanks all for playing and until next time 
Oh man… good weather leads to slacking, slacking leads to having to work extra hard further along the road, having to work extra hard further along the road leads to sleepless nights, sleepless nights lead to weird IRC convos.
At the moment I’m really not enjoying school. I am on the verge of missing a few deadlines, so I’m really putting some effort in my work now. Too bad that todays work consisted of finding trivial answers to trivial questions. I mean… the whole perceptual side of JPG-compression is somewhat interesting. From a computer science point of view, as well as from a photographer point of view and even as a psychologist to be. But when making exercises equals debugging a teacher’s Matlab code and doing the same trick over and over and over again, the fun kinda gets… less.
Ah well. At least I can use this as an excuse to stay up late and make weird blogposts right?
Happy Birthday Mystikal!

So yeah… I just got back to Eindhoven, after a crazy weekend filled to the top with warsow. CDC4 took place in wzzrd, Enschede and we had a small 8-player warsow competition. The whole signups were kinda shifty, with an initial count of 20, but entry fees paid before the deadline were only 3 or 4.
We were supposed to be starting our cup on Friday, but adminning was completely left to us as a community. Which has its upsides, but surely also downsides. What worked out nice is that the atmosphere of the warsow players and entourage was nice. What did not work out nice is the communication with the cup admin and server admins/shoutcasts/computer admins.
For me, the day started out pretty early on Friday. I woke up at 7:30am to be in Enschede at noon. But of course, if you’re supposed to be somewhere on time, you’re sure to be too late if you go by train. Because some train had a crash, I had to transfer a total of 3 times, with one transfer at Zutphen. My breakfast consisted of a banana and I really felt the need to eat something, so I had a semi-decent breakfast.
