Create, don’t copy

A thing that I noticed all over again while publishing and reading some Blog-Posts on the Topic of Ajax is that many people just copy the entire post, some not even giving a personal comment on the content, which would have been nice.
So here go my personal advices if you want to be successfull:
  1. Create, don’t copy: if you write your own articles, insert you own thoughts and comment it, you will be rewarded with interested readers and feedback.
  2. Cite: if you find a really interesting article on the Web and you just can’t resist to cite it, then cite it, don’t copy it entirely. Try to find a descriptive part of the text, quote it and surround it with your personal thoughts on the subject, this way the original author gets the credits for his work, and you told your own version of the tale ^^
  3. Link: provide a Link to the original Post.
The reason I find this important is that copying a whole article drives away traffic from the original Post and kills the discussion on it: it’s useless if 100 people comment on a post in 10 different locations, they will never see each other.

Well that’s about it :-)

AMIV LAN Party

Yesterday we had the long awaited LAN-Party of the AMIV, being a member of the VIS I was invited along with the rest of my departement for the challgene AMIV vs VIS.
Quite soon we realized that we were one of the few teams had were organized and that coordinated well. My team, the BitchSlapper (name stolen from the Pourne-again Shell), had four players:
  • bon_scott: Benedikt, who had never played Counterstrike: Source on a public server, not to tell in a Tournament…
  • DarkPhoenix: Christian Conti that had played with me in the italian leaque for <Delta> and eG|EliteGamers.
  • Mutilate: probably the only one who has played constantly in the last few years, a really skilled player, it’s probably thanks to him that we got as far as we did.
  • Snyke: yup that’s me, like Phoenix, I haven’t played for quite some time.
We first had some games for starter against MOES (8:2, 9:1) and DerInderInDerInderin (9:1, 10,0), after which we were clearly qualified for quarters.
Quarters against yet another VIS team, KUMO which we clearly won 9:1, 8:2 and then we were in the final.
Final against Team CC+ the only AMIV Team we saw in the whole tournament, and after a disastrous first half which we lost 4:6, we smashed them against the wall with 9:1.
And there we were: Winners of the CS:S tournament.
Quake 3 Arena was also won by the VIS, so the IT students dominated all through the night.
The e-Dome is really an impressive place and we really enjoyed the night ^^

Performancing

Today on LifeHacker I found a Post pointing to Performancing, the tool for Blogging.

The Performancing Firefox extension lets you blog a web page from a split panel at the bottom of your browser.

Use an HTML editor to compose a blog post, assign a title, category, and edit past blog posts. Great for referencing bits of a web page using a richer editor than most blog engines’ interfaces, the Performancing extension does not yet support pinging. Performancing is a free download, Windows/Mac/Linux.

Since I was looking for a similar tool for some time now, I’m really happy with it ^^
