Waiting for it for a long time it is finally out. Bethesda released the Patch for Oblivion:

It has a lot of Bugfixes, unfortunately they did not add this Fix into it which gets the fence Fathis Ules back to the Imperial City after the Quest in Chorrol. (Needed for the Thieves Guild Quests).

iTunes@home
I used to work with winamp for a long time so i never thought about iTunes before. But now i am triing to build my own Music Database so i can hear my music in every part of my Home and Working with Winamp did get a little confused and complicated.
A collegue of mine uses iTunes and after some talking i installed it and imported my Files into it. And here the odysee started. Importing my Files didn't run as smoothly as i expected since iTunes seems to have a problem importing Files which have a Filename that is too big.
Unfortunately the Filename should be very small, after that iTunes just cuts the Name and if the Filename is bigger than a certain point it just does not import the file.
Since i used the Term "Artist - Album Name - Audiotitle - Track#.mp3" i had some difficulties.
But after i found out about that problem it got a little easier.. although i had to import many of my CD's from scratch since the Tags were not right.
Working with iTunes has some very good advantages and it really helps finding your music very quick. I like the search engine..
So the next step was to find a iTunes Server for my linux server: http://wiki.mt-daapd.org
It works great, but has several disadvantages i want to share with...
If you use a iTunes Library on your PC and want to add the Files to the Server there is no Possible way to just move them in iTunes. Also if you have another PC which shares the Music iTunes does not support copiing or moving between them. (Possible becouse they don't want you to copy music to a third person which is not allowed by law.. buy the music you want to hear instead.)
One way which works fine for me is to tell the iTunes of my PC to use as source the same iTunes directory my server uses. (Which is not a big deal with samba..)
Now i am able to import all the other CD's of mine (not a small amount) and to share it even in the farthest away room where we have our roleplaying meeting every second week.
Maybe some time in the Future i find a way to import Music from any iTunes to my server, until then i try to find a way to connect to my server from any point i am over a secure line so i am able to here my music wherever i am (and have a internet connection)..

labeling the world
Using labels for any form has become a standard habitat for me. From time to time i get angry when i am using some form on the internet which does not know about labels.. so you have to click right on the element.. not left... ah...sh*$$ not right.. now i have it ;-(
At first i did not think much about it but now, it's always an indicator if the site i am looking at is well programmed or not.
Unfortunately css3 is not starting early enough and we have to keep with css 2.1 and Windows without Cleartype activated.. which means the designers want graphics everywhere .. even in a form. (From time to time).
Using Firefox as my primary Browser i did not detect the error at first, but it looks like IE does not like images in labels.. which means, it does not work.
<label for="foo"><img .... /></label>
I don't know if it's a bug in IE or it is not in the specification for html, so shouldn't work at all.. but i tested it also with IE 7 Beta 2.. it does not work.
