To all that it might concern: i FINALLY did my 8 random facts thingy! YAY! You will find it at the bottom of this journal ^_^ Okay, so this is DEFINITELY not my month...
Last weekend, friday, i had to change something in my routers settings. And as it is, i get disconnected from the web once each night... sadly, this time it occured EXACTLY in the same second when i hit the "apply" button in my routers config-utility... As it seems, this has confused my router so much, that i couldnt log back in to the net!
Well, first i thought, it was the phonecompanies fault, since it was weekend with monday being a holiday, so i thought the lines were overloaded... but... i couldnt log in the next day either... and i did NOT have a phone connection AT ALL! Same goes for the day after that... Then it came to my mind, that it might NOT have been the phone company, but something about my router. So i tried to access its config-utility from my PC, and that didnt work! But, as a ping of its IP revealed, it was definitely reachable... then i thought again about that disconnect-when-ihit-apply thing and figured, that was the cause for my phone / net problems, so i RESET my router to its default values... worked, but i had to enter that nifty "installation"-code, which the router then sends to my phonecompanies server, so it automatically aquires username and password...
But i couldnt find the letter where that code was written!!! I searched and searched, and nearly PANICED when i thought about the fact, that my mom threw away the package my router was shipped in, and the letter came WITH that package!!! I seatched FOR HOURS, especially since i could NEVER sleep with such a problem being unsolved...
I finally found that letter with the code.
...
At 4:30h IN THE NIGHT!
So i entered that install-code and it worked again. *PHEW!*
But three days without even having a phone => not so nice...
Okay, so far, so good, so what...
Yesterday (i think it was yesterday) my mom was playing a game at my computer, "SpellForce".
Aint got a prob with that, especially since my relation to my mom is realy cool, rather friendship-like than mom-and-son-like...
Well, suddenly she called me, because she experienced DISPLAY-ERRORS and RANDOM REBOOTS of my computer... So i thought to myself: "Crap... OVERHEATING!!!.. Okay, no big deel, lets clean up all the dust inside of the computer, take out the graphics-card, clean that too, and (if need be) replace the cooler / hetsink, then see where this gets us..."
...
When i took out the GraphicsCard, i was SHOCKED! Three capacitors were broken...! two of em being big and fat and bulky, while the third was *literally* BLOWN UP!!! I mean, really: There was all this chemical, electrolytical stuff oozing all out of it....
Meaning: My graphicscard is DEAD... once and for ALL!
And i can NOT afford a new one... v_v
So i took out an old graphicscard from my moms computer (while leaving her an even older one), so i could at least *partially* work with my comp... *sigh*... okay, its a GeForce FX 5200, so it definitely COULD BE WORSE, but still... *sigh* need to get a better one... I didnt test out how my 3D Apps and VideoApps "like" the new card... i hope they do... at least, i can use my comp and work in Photoshop...
Well, then, yesterday, i got shocked *again*.. i was playing around in photoshop, but.. .my tablet dod not work like it should! It was all wiggly and shakey, and i couldnt draw even one precise stroke... not even a *point*... so i reinstalled the drivers... Still problems... changed the USB port.. .still problems... heh, then i noticed: i forgot to plug in the powercable of my USB Hub XD *phew* glad its working now...
and FINALLY, i chipped of a part of a tooth ! By eating a piece of chocolate.. nothing else! just that.. and a part of my tooth broke off O_o
...
So.. that was my week so far... how was yours... >_>
Haha, like i said... its definitely NOT MY MONTH... and we´re only in the middle of it... i should take my friend Felipe´s advise and STAY CAREFUL... XD
Anyways... i am still sorta optimistic, since some things, at least, seem to start turning to the better for me ^_^
Oh, and besides the fact, that i made a few deviations, i also uploaded some AGE-OLD stuff into my scraps... go see em, if you want to... but dont be harsh, for A) they are just scraps, and B) they are... like.. ANCIENT XD
So... thats that, i hope, you have a good time, here on deviantART as well as in you RealLife (if you can afford such a luxury XD ).. and.. well... hope to hear from ya all ^_^
Bye...
On to the TAG i had to do...
EIGHT RANDOM FACTS I've been tagged by

,
and shortly after that by

(with a larger version), but heh, i think i´ll just do it once for both ^_^
Theses are the Rules:1. Post these rules.
2. Each tagged person should post 8 facts of themselves.
3. Each tagged person should feature 8 deviations from people in his/her gallery
4.Tagged people should write a journal\blog about these facts.
5. In the end tag and name 8 people.
6. Go to their dA pages and comment saying that they are tagged.
1- Even in summertimes.. .well... i sleep with my SOCK on! I dont know why that is, but i dont take em off when i go to bed, i just leave em on... (oh, and i cant stand it when someone grabs my feet, haha)
2- Well... hehe... believe it or not, but i cant ride a bike... seriously! I dont know how to ride a bicycle!
3- As most of you know: I really DIG all that movie-making stuff... Especially when it comes to the VisualFX-field. But, in fact, i see movies and TV only very, VERY rarely! I dont even go to the cinema very often (last time... uhm... i think... three years ago??? )... Contradiction, you say? Dead on!!! (in fact, i have seen more making-ofs than actual movies, haha, and even some of the few DVDs i own, i bought just BECAUSE of the Making Of XD )
4- Hm, only few of you know it, and it sounds way bigger than it actually is, but in fact, i already produced a trailer for a local Cinema! Haha, nothin big, really... It was when a new Sci Fi Movie started there, as a premier... i think it was the eighth StarTrek Movie... "First Contact"... (Yeah, i dig that stuff! i´m a HUGE SciFi Fan!).. Well, for that Movie-start, a local Sci Fi Club (or alike...) had plotted an event with lots of Information things, a sorta lottery and alike to promote themselves as well as the cinema, cuz they knew the owner of the cinema. And so one day, i got this phone-call from a friend... Like: "Hey, mate... You still do this 3D-Animation stuff?? We have an event at that cinema, for the start of the new StarTrek Movie... Would you be doing an Anim for this?? Would be great!" And, of course, i agreed, since i like that stuff and its a good feeling to show something off, that you did.. and so i said: "Hmm... yeah, sure! Its fun to do that stuff... might take me a while til its finished but i sure would make an Anim for that... when´s the event?" and, heh, the answer was: "In three weeks!"... Needless to say, that this is a VERY tight deadline, considering that there was NOTHING to base that anim on, nothing to rely on... but i made it... Three weeks without fresh air and three weeks i didnt see the sun, haha, and i had to borrow two additional Computers for rendering, but i made it *just in time*.. LITERALLY! One day, before the event took place, it was all finished... Sadly, the wuality SUCKED big time, since the compression was all fucked up... Heh, i dont have that thing anymore (luckily), but if i saw it today, i think i would blush and sink into the GROUND for the shame, haha... i would do SO MUCH better nowadays... And, well.. perhaps the saddest thing about this is, that i ouldnt even be THERE to see my trailer, because we had a case of death in the family... And besides that tragic loss, heh, i dont even know how people reacted to that stuff... and.. which is a real pity from nowadays point of view, even local RADIO was there, ASKING FOR AN INTERVIEW with the guy that made this animation... and i couldnt give it... v_v Well... That was about EIGHT YEARS ago, haha...
5- Some of you know this already, but i´ll tell it anyways to those that dont: I love to read... BUT... i read mainly non-fictional books! fact-books and specialist literature... About Computer graphics (of course!) or philosophy and psychology... I rarely ever read Novels...I mean, its NOT that i dont read novels at all, but only rarely (if so, its mainly SciFi, haha... most likely, older than i am! And i LOVE Douglas Adam´s stuff...) Well, yeah... i mainly read non-fictional literature about CG, Philosophy, Psychology... even before i go to sleep O_o
6- My gallery is very empty. Okay, thats NO BIG NEWS, haha, but... well, the reason for this is NOT because i do so little stuff... in fact, i do MCH MORE stuff than most of you know! For example, i experiment a lot in different fields at once... Video stuff... 3D-Tracking... Compositing... 2D Stuff.. 3D Stuff... And, admittedly, some drawings (RARELY, though)... but, in fact, i delete 90% of the stuff i do... Because i never really finish anything, Since i mostly try to learn the pure technique on its own, and... heh, honestly: MOST of the things that come out from this really aren´t WORTH to be uploaded, haha... But, heh, i hope this will change in future... *sigh*... "The road to Hell is paved with works in Progress..." (perhaps i should make that my new Signature XD )
7-Uhm... i know, to some of you it might seem different, but believe it or not: i am DEAD SHY !!! Really! I mean... okay, that already changed a lot, i am a lot more open than i used to be, say, ten years ago...? BUT: I am still a rather shy person! Especially when it comes to the opposite sex... *blushes*... Heh, i am 28 years old, by now, and i have only asked out *ONE* single girl in MY WHOLE LIFE !!!! (Thats about a year ago and she said NO... haha!) Sorta explains why i am still single, since 8 years XD
8- 
made this tag longer for Kitty (which tagged me with it shortly after Sheba tagged me with it), thereby blowing it up 15 random facts, but i took the freedom to cut it back down to the original eight ^_^ (after all, sheba was FIRST, and she tagged me with only EIGHT facts

)
So... Whom to tag...
I guess, i´ll tag:
