A short while ago I discovered that around my favourite game Magic the Gathering a story about the backgrounds exists.
So I decided to buy my first Magic novel: The Thran.
The story of The Thran depicts the War on Dominaria and especially the abasement of Yawgmoth, The Ineffable. First it was hard for me to read an English book with many expressions I didn't know but after a while the story was enthralling me and I was sticked to the book until I finished it.
If you like fantasy novels and if you love the game it is great to read this book - to find out the backgrounds of the cards.

So I decided to read the next novel in the chronological order of the story, the first book of the Artifact Cycle - The Brothers' War. The story is about the two brothers Urza and Mizra and my anticipation is huge ... Links: Great site about the Magic books, with background info and maps: Encylopedia Phyrexianna

On monday, our meeting-day in the PCCP, I tried to configure our server for a few programs to be able to access the Internet over Proxy and Firewall.

It was confusing and after about an hour, the result was a mess - no computer had access to the Internet any longer ... I needed the help of Max and many tries to re-establish the former configuration, but my changes were not working.

Conclusion: I decided to leave the work with this server to people who know to handle it, like HPK and to move back to my favourites: Proxy Server: Janaserver and Firewall ZoneAlarm. Best security solution is still to work with Linux, but I need Windows for a few things!

I've been Depeche Mode Fan for quite a long time, since my father presented me my first Depeche Mode cassette at the tender age of 14. So I was enthusiastic when I heard a song on FM4 from their new album: Remixes 81-04 (Limited Edition) - and I bought the CD.

This is the perfect music to listen to when I'm sitting in front of my PC programming for my diploma thesis - normally I'm not fan of that kind of electronical music (except The Prodigy), but with the voice of Dave Gahan I really love it. By the way, the songs get all new interesting life by this remixes.
