Daily Prompt: The Artist’s Eye

Dennis

The Daily Prompt Mission for today: “Is there a painting or sculpture you’re drawn to? What does it say to you? Describe the experience. (Or, if art doesn’t speak to you, tell us why.) Photographers, artists, poets: show us ART”. For todays Daily Prompt, I rather go the photographers route and show you ART. The photo above is not a good shot. It´s rather a snapshot. In the image you can see what my aunt painted. I took the photo in one of her rooms. I do think her paintings have potential. I love the colours and the body shape … Continue reading Daily Prompt: The Artist’s Eye

How to do a Memory Check to find out if you have a faulty RAM Module installed in your System

Dennis

In view of the occasion, I will write a short article about a very common way and procedure to make a memory check and to find out if you have installed a faulty RAM Module in your System. A friend called me today and told me that he has some trouble with his computer. He told me about several system crashes and blue screens. You maybe know that this could happen because of several reasons. It might be a faulty memory module but it could be another hardware defect or even a driver problem as well. But those blue screens … Continue reading How to do a Memory Check to find out if you have a faulty RAM Module installed in your System

The Daily Prompt is asking: “Do you belong in this day and age? Do you feel comfortable being a citizen of the 21st-century? If you do, explain why — and if you don’t, when in human history would you rather be?” The fact that I am born in this century, means that I belong to it. It´s that easy. However, I do understand the question and really like the question of todays Daily Post. I feel torn if I want to answer the question. This century is pretty interesting and I like it most of the time but sometimes I … Continue reading Daily Prompt: 21st Century Citizen

It was a grungy place and a grungy time…

Dennis

The place above in the image is the Wallhalbinsel (Could be translated like “Wall Peninsula”) of Lübeck. This place is a man-made island or as said a peninsula located in the Trave River and to the west of Lübeck´s inner-city. But now comes a little or let me say big story, before I come back to what the image above means to me. I play already guitar since my schooldays and met a guy from the parallel class who was a guitarist too. I did know him already for quite some time. Well you know how it is when you … Continue reading It was a grungy place and a grungy time…

The Europa Universalis 4 Main Theme…

Dennis

I found a little treat on a german Game magazine called 4players and later on YouTube for those who are waiting for the Grand Strategy Game called Europa Universalis 4. And also for those who love orchestra music! This composition called “The Voyage” is played by Brandenburg’s Symphony Orchestra and is composed by Andreas Waldetoft and is orchestrated by Bernd Ruf. The composition can be downloaded on the website of Europa Universalis 4. Brandenburg is by the way like in Europa Universalis 3 also in Europa Universalis 4 a playable Nation. Good players will have the chance to form Prussia … Continue reading The Europa Universalis 4 Main Theme…
