I installed Leopard (10.5) of Mac OS X over the weekend. Initially, the installer wouldn’t recognize the internal Harddrive. Rene started shaking the Notebook and all of a sudden the install started working -:). Well, looks like he has some magic hands…. After that the install was a breeze. It took about an hour for the install to complete.
Java 6.0 is not supported on Leopard. That’s a pain. I had to deinstall Java 6.0 and install Java 5.0 manually. I need java for eclipse….

After a long break, I started climbing again two months ago at my favorite indoor climbing gym – Planet Granite – Belmont. I was surprised how fast I was able to climb at the 5.10 level again. I expected it to take me many months, but I regularly climb 5.10a, 5.10b and last night even a 5.10c.
Climbing is a real joy to me. I’m able to focus on the routes very easily – all stress is gone within seconds -:). Plus, it seams thanks to skiing and other balanced based sports, being able to balance well comes naturally to me.
I’m glad to be back into climbing!

Just learned about the new CD from Bruce Springsteen (Magic). I listened to some tracks – have to have the CD! Awesome.

I’m trying out some new utilities to increase productivity – as they say -:). Today, it’s ecto’s turn. From my first impression, it’s pretty cool, but I have to use it more to give a more complete review.
I spend most of last sunday to build my personal booklist. I’m using bookpedia. This program let’s you search books on different online bookstores (such as amazon). Since I read lots of books in german, I specially like the option to be able search german databases as well.
Now, I have to figure out how I can make VNP not change the hostname on my MAC.
According to ‘Are you artistic or logic’, I’m a right-brain-person. I was quite surprised by this result, since I don’t think I have any artistic / creative talent. Some of the other characteristics described at web-us seem to fit me.
