This is just a fast little animation that I slapped up. Took me quite some time :)

Hey guys, it's me. After some fiddling around with programming, trying to learn different languages (but never truly mastering any...), I've tried to take my first steps of preparation to enter the Android Market, as a Developer. But let's get back in time 1 year. I was sitting home, all alone. I didn't really know what to do, since i had holidays, and my friends and family were on vacation. That was the time when I thought to myself, "hey dood, you wanted to learn programming for so long... Now get out your tiger blood and just do it, like programming rambo... or something along those lines". [ ... ] Read the Glorious Story of my programming adventures, leading to mass deaths and country-wide destabilisation... wtf.

Most famous member of the blackout-protest was the english Wikipedia that, like for example reddit, minecraft.net, memebase.com and many other websites went black from 8am to 8pm EST on Wednesday. read more after the break.

For those of you who have downloaded the Swype Beta, but don't find the look to appealing, i've got a goodie. I made 2 skins for Swype ( The project ist called "xwype, short for xrlabs' swype ). The classic skin is like a mixture of the Samsung and the iPhone Keyboard. Note: Alltough the Keyboards on the Picture look a bit strange, it's because I'm not smart enough to take a Picture of the Keyboard in android ;) You should definetively give them a try!
