Happy towel day!

Other ‘news’:

• I still like my Macbook Pro
• The Samsung 2233RZ is my new gaming monitor, 120Hz for teh win. Will force myself to write a review soon.
• Stefan Borsje finally finished the ski/snowboard video of our holiday many years ago

I run a bunch of gameservers for my TF2 clan. On these servers there’s a Source TV that automatically records demo’s of matches. After a match it’s nice to be able to download such a demo and see where your team can improve.

To make these demo’s available to everyone you have to put them on a website somewhere, and doing this manually is annoying. Also, demo’s are easily to compress, so you would like them to get zipped before offering them for a download.

So I wrote a Ruby script that:

• Uses 7zip to compress all .dem files in directories you specify
• Removes the original .dem files
• Moves all the .7z files to predifined directories
• Restarts the servers when this is done

The result is a nice download area at our server

At the end of the week I’ll be switching from my current ISP, Euronet/Wanadoo/Orange/Online, to XS4all. Over the past few months my DSL connection has been steadily getting worse. Slower speeds, more packetloss and ridiculous routing to some countries.

XS4all is quite a bit more expensive than Online, but it offers some nice extras. Free wifi through KPN Hotspots, a great DSL modem, no datalimit or Fair Use Policy, static ip and configurable hostname.

Afgelopen maandag heb ik mijn afstudeerpresentatie gehouden over Ruby on Rails voor viral websites. De combinatie verslag/presentatie is beoordeeld met een 8.

Bijna klaar met mijn opleiding Informatica aan de Hogeschool Rotterdam nu, nog even een aantal vakken afronden en dan het papiertje afhalen!
