This weekend I finished Shadow of the Colossus. A great, if somewhat short (maybe 8 hours playtime) game. The idea of throwing out all the usual enemies and only keeping the bosses holds up. And some of the bosses are pretty stunning.
Now what? Playing GTA3-SA for some six months left a backlog, so I think that’s where I’m going to find the next game. Metal gear Solid 3 is looking tempting (been stuffed away under the TV for a few months).

The plans for Ubuntu Dapper +1 - The Edgy Eft has been published. There’s a some good news here. The Ubuntu team is so happy about the stability of the upcoming Dapper release (scheduled for June) that the next version will be left for the development team as a way to test new stuff. This means that Edgy probably won’t be as stable as Dapper, but Ubuntu has two releases per year this should not be a big problem.
I’m currently installing Ubuntu (Breezy) on every server I can get my hands on and I’m very happy with the results. With Dapper the success rate will likely get even better. If the Ubuntu team can play around with Edgy to get some new features in there (Xen would be interesting), then a stable Edgy + 1 will be a heavy contestant to RHES and SLES.

Instructions on creating links to Eclipse plugins(tags: eclipse)
Apr

Yesterday I upgraded to the Eclipse 3.2 RC1. As someone who tries to keep updated with new Eclipse releases, handling plugin updates has sucked. Now it sucks much less. I used the instructions by Colin to set up a new local extension location for plugins updated automatically and one for those I manage manually. I use a fair amount of plugins to extend the IDE. Some for real work (e.g. Subclipse, QuantumDB, Mevenide), some for trying out stuff I should know about (like the web tools).
While on the topic, the quality and amount of features that todays IDEs offer are just amazing. Given the incremental compiliation, code assist and refactoring support, the time I save on a daily basis is… a lot. Now, if Eclipse could just get a decent XML editor. And by that I don’t mean one of the commercial additions, with the importance of XML, a world-class editor should be a crucial part of any IDE: Eclipse isn’t even close.
