Today I received a blogging questionnaire again, so this time I’ll directly start answering without too much introductory text :)

Why do you blog?

I think the greatest influence came from the technical blogs I read frequently. I just wanted to share my current experiences with operating systems, compilers and all that stuff with the world (not really expecting anybody to listen, of course :)

When did you start blogging?

I tried to start about three years ago, back then in German language, but my laziness made that rather pointless. So I decided to continue in English and with a »real« blogging engine under the hood. So far, this works out a little bit better.

What do you look like?

I’m supposed to put a photo here, am I? OK, I will, but not now. There are currently no good photos of me, so I’ll just have to wait until someone makes one. Until then, just imagine a regular computer geek, that’ll work as a starting point :)

Why do your readers read your blog?

Wait … I have readers?
No, seriously: Five people (or so :) who are reading this blog are friends of mine, and there may be one or two users of MPUI, CENSORED or some other software I made.

What was the last search engine query that led a visitor to your page?

I asked the mighty Apache log (with a funny contraption like »egrep 'google.[a-z]{2,5}/search' access.log | sed 's/.*q=//' | cut -d'&' -f1 | cut -d'"' -f1 | tr '+' ' '« :) and that’s what it told me about the wackiest things why people came here:

• keyj (four hits by people who know who I am, but can’t memorize the funny domain name)
• cool n quiet in vista (two people also wondered why their CPU fans won’t calm down)
• vista killed GRUB (what did he expect?)
• vista blurred awful (mine was fine)
• 2.6.17 performance sucks (I didn’t notice that so far, but the person who wrote that must have been so disappointed that he/she used Safari to search …)
• origami 5k demo (what a luck that Google forgives minor typos
• how to write a 4k intro (yes!)
• winnerdemo (nothing to see here, try again at Metalvotze)
• ipodlinux on ipod nano (been there, done that)
• PP502x (oh yeah, I love that chip)
• how images are stored on ipod (16 bpp uncompressed little-endian RGB565 … iPodLinux is your friend
• far cry renderer mode paradise (you were looking for /hdrrendering 7, eh?)
• opengl lcc (that’s what I do, yes)
• Niedrige GOP struktur 6 oder 12 besser (the answer is a clear 12.)
• avc chroma prediction (I’m sure he found what he was looking for)
• unterschied MPEG4 part 2 und MPEG4 part 10 (he too)
• forcing fullscreen application to stay On Top (just a near miss)

Which of your Blog posts undeservedly got too less attention?

All (no post got any measurable attention so far) and none (no post deserved attention anyway).

What’s your favorite blog currently?

I think it’s still Avery Lee’s VirtualBlog, but it’s pretty close to The Old New Thing and Fefe’s Blog.

Which blog did you read most recently?

That’s Uwe’s Blog, because he is the one who invited me to write this very post.

How many feeds do you have subscribed currently?

Opera says 10, including my own.
