Daily Prompt: Land of Confusion

Dennis

The Daily Prompt asks: “Which subject in school did you find impossible to master? Did math give you hives? Did English make you scream? Do tell!”. This is an interesting question. Even as a German, I´d say that German was at times complicated but not that I had problems to write or speak in German but I always had the feeling that you would need a master degree in Latin first to understand the latin terms which describes German grammar rules. They did attack us with so much Latin terms that I sometimes started to wonder if they want to … Continue reading Daily Prompt: Land of Confusion

My Mother Got A GoPro Hero 3+ Camera For Free

Dennis

It´s not often that someone in my family has luck. But I talk about contests and the reason is that we usually don´t participate in contests or lotteries. But there is this very serious company that we know and they sometimes run contests and the conditions of participation are not that horrible like in most of the contests. What I mean is, that it is no scam and everything is really fair. My mother did participate and a month later she has won a GoPro Hero 3+ action camera. She got the video camera and we saw that this one … Continue reading My Mother Got A GoPro Hero 3+ Camera For Free

If You Have Polish Neighbors, You Will Get Tasty Snacks…

Dennis

My mother has Polish neighbors and they are very friendly. My mother even laughed and said they are in fact too friendly. What she means is that they often bring things to my mother like delicious snacks and food. For example if it´s weekend and if her neighbors have visitors, they also will bring some of the delicious things down to my mother and that happens often. But my mother gives them things too, for example if my mother’s husband did cook again some delicious German food. I noticed it is a “give and receive” there and I wish I … Continue reading If You Have Polish Neighbors, You Will Get Tasty Snacks…

Lady Beetle Without Points

Dennis

Some days ago I was visiting my mother and we sat on her balcony to enjoy the first sunbeams. While talking, we noticed that there were a lot of ladybugs or lady beetles on her balcony and we started to take photos with out smartphones. I guess I have now little bit too much ladybug photos but many of them look great. I also found ladybugs outside too, well it´s springtime! I am still very busy with other things and I can´t promise when I will upload the new photos. I think I will do that time by time as … Continue reading Lady Beetle Without Points

Battlefield 5 Beta Domain Bought By EA

Dennis

There were rumors that Electronic Arts bought a new domain name for the Battlefield 5 Beta. The rumors came from a user of the NeoGAF forums. But maybe we shouldn´t call it rumors as it is not wrong that EA bought the domain. But it´s questionable if the intention was to link the domain to an upcoming Battlefield 5 beta website. The mentioned domain (battlefield5beta.com) was a scam and fake site since January and it might be that EA took the domain to prevent that another fraudulent person would register the domain again. The intention could be indeed to stop … Continue reading Battlefield 5 Beta Domain Bought By EA

Late but… Microsoft MS-DOS Is Now Open Source

Dennis

I really have nice memories when I think about MS-DOS. Not that it is the first operating system I saw but it is an operating system that did escort me through my teenage. I remember when I sold my Amiga computer to get a PC. And at that time I had to learn about MS-DOS and I remind that I later installed the Norton Commander and this tool gave me a much better usability, while managing folders, installations and so on. However, I had to learn MS-DOS commands before and I did so. MS-DOS stands for Microsoft Disk Operating System … Continue reading Late but… Microsoft MS-DOS Is Now Open Source
