Cool quote!

An intellectual is a person who has discovered something more interesting than sex.  - Aldous Huxley I'll add this one to my list of favourite quotes.

Ideas for a Strategy Role-Playing Game

I've added some of my ideas (there are many more lying around on my harddisk) concerning a strategy role-playing game of the kind of Shining Force to my homepage. If I'm really bored, I'll perhaps try to implement the game, but currently this isn't the case. BTW, I've already coded a 64b intro for our competition myself. Due to optimization, it's only 59 bytes in fact. I guess the winner of the compo will be somebody who has the idea to try to implement an interesting algorithm in just 64 bytes and succeeds at this enterprise.

Austria 06

Today the Austria 06 award ceremony was broadcast on TV. In the category "research", mathematician and game theorist Karl Sigmund of Vienna University was awarded the prize. That's interesting! I'd have expected the Med-Austron guy to get the prize, as it's related to medical research, but apparently, even basic, pure theoretical research with no obvious practical application is also something many Austrians consider prizeworthy. (The prize winner was chosen based on public voting.) Interesting. The main editor of "Die Presse" (the newspaper that hosted the ceremony) behaved in such an unlikeable manner when awarding the humanitarian prize that I decided to stop reading that paper.

Hugi @ Wikipedia

The Wikipedia page about Hugi is getting better, but there's still a lot that hasn't been mentioned yet. Anybody please feel free to make (serious, constructive) suggestions. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugi

Diskmag-related article at digitalcraft.org

I've found an article on diskmags at digitalcraft.org in which Hugi is mentioned (including two screenshots from Hugi). The article is from the year 2002. Apparently it was written on the occasion of some demoscene exhibition in Germany. Judging from the contents of this article and similar articles, it seems like they've done their job well (i.e. they've read my writings about the scene before writing their own articles; some of the main points have reminded me of the opinions I used to present). So, good thing. I've put the article onto my homepage: http://www.hugi.scene.org/adok/articles/hugrez10.htm
