Life Advice / Re: So, Windows 10, is it any good or an improvement over 8.1?
« on: November 04, 2015, 07:08:53 am »
Microsoft changed the update System for the worse if you ask me. They took a lot of control away. I liked to install the updates when I want to and I also liked going through the list of patches and unchecking stuff that I didn't want to be installed beforehand. This is now either impossible or I haven't found the Options yet.
On the other Hand, this may be better for the common user. I am in Charge of the update rollout in the Company I work for and you'd be surprised how Little some most People care about security updates. So I can understand where Microsoft is coming from on this Point.

Life Advice / Re: So, Windows 10, is it any good or an improvement over 8.1?

I have been using Windows 10 for a few weeks now.
I have to say it seems to run a bit faster, but I have some bugs. First: My Taskmanager is Buggy, the CPU is at 100% all the time. It tries to convince me that the Explorer.exe or taskmgr.exe use up around 80% of my CPU, which is quite impossible. It shows me correct values when I Switch to the "Detailed" Tab (sorry if the Name is wrong, I use the german Version of the OS). I decided to live with this since it seems to be something cosmetic without causing any real problems.
A way bigger Problem is, that my OS now freezes randomly and I have to restart the PC through the power button. I couldn't figure out what's causing this Problem so far. I have looked into the Event log and it's full of Problems and warnings of various Services and I haven't been annoyed enough to really look into it.
Anyway from my point of view I would advice against an upgrade. I would wait a little longer since some Systems (like mine) still have Problems.

Life Advice / Re: Brushing up on German (possibly Spanish too)
« on: August 07, 2014, 03:24:20 am »
Hey, native speaker here. I even live in Berlin ^^
We have some "Tandem groups" that are used to learn the language. It works like this: You post in a facebook group something like "Hi, I'm A., I would like to learn spanish and I'm offering german in return. Write me a message!"
After that you talk a while in said languages and later you meet up for a beer or something if you get along well. Great way to get to know people and get some practice!

For Vocabulary: I learn some spanish myself and I mostly use duolingo.com or just ask the people I met through those Tandems :-)

hope this helps

Life Advice / Re: Can anyone tell me if meditation actually works?
« on: May 16, 2013, 07:07:09 am »
First I'd like to thank you for your answer LordBucket, it contains a lot of useful information. Thank you!

Secondly, you asked me what I wanted to do/to achieve. This is quite easy answered, I want to improve my focus and concentration. Whenever I'm doing something that involves thinking to a certain degree my mind tends to drift off. Even into things not even remotely relevant to the thing I try to focus on at that moment. I find this quite annoying and I am hoping to get rid of this by training my mind through meditating. Secondly my mind seems awefully clouded at times. Especially when I've got nothing particular to do or am trying to sleep. I often lie awake in my bed thinking of god knows what.
So in short words: I'm trying to get my mind "back under control" and I want to prevent it from drifting away everytime.
I hope I was able to explain what I'm trying to achieve and that you can give me some advice.

Pay attention to those things. All of them, and all at once.

Fix that in your mind, and do not lose it by thinking about only one thing. Don't be distracted by something somebody said to you yesterday. Don't be reminded of where you're planning to be tomorrow, or ponder what you'll have for dinner tonight.

Focus on right now
This. This also sums it up quite good. I think, if I achieved the trait of focussing on right now and nothing else without alowing my mind to wander of, I could also focus on other useful stuff again.

Hey,

I'm also interested in that subject and the things LordBucket pointed out do seem useful to me, so how does one actually learn to meditate? As far as I know, meditation requires a clear mind or is a tool to clear ones mind, but I find that really difficult. My mind always seems to be clouded with a lot of I stuff I actually want to get rid off every once in a while. Could anybody give me some advice? or suggest a book or something that can help me teach myself to meditate? I'm willing to put some effort into this, because this has been bothering me for a while.
Thanks in advance :-)

I'm working in the IT department of one of the german federal ministries. I'm specialised in Software Deployment. It sounds way better than it actually is^^

Right now I'm looking for a side job that's actually fun. Any Suggestions?

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: Military Training incredibly slow / Where are my Sieges? / Lazy Champion
« on: February 04, 2013, 05:11:06 am »
Sooo, I had my second goblinsiege. Guess I just had to be a bit more patient.

I also had a human Siege, without ever attacking human traders. That damn Crossbowmen nearly annihilated my whole Military though :-/ I'm down to 66 Dwarves again.
So, I kinda have a new Problem with that Traderbug. It seems that my migrantwaves almost always include at least 2 Traders of some sort. As soon as a Tradermigrant enters the map, the Migrantwave stops. So basically, I am getting Migrantwaves of 2 Dwarves right now, which basically is nothing. I need to get up to 100 dwarves again to replenish my Military and get my Fort working again. (Of my 66 Dwarves, 20 are in the military and another 10 are Children. So I only have around 36 Dwarves left. 34 If I don't count the 2 Vampires that are permachained in prison)
So my new question is: Is there a way to fix this? I really need more dwarves :-/

Oh and: My Duke died. I can't assign a new one, the post doesn't exist on my Nobles Screen anymore. Also a bug? I hoped the Liason would just create a new Duke, but he didn't.

Sorry for asking so many questions, but I have checked the wiki first and my problems aren't listed under "known bugs" or the topics page.

P.S.: Megabeasts have been no problem for my military, I killed a giant glob and a giant toad which breathes fire and flies and the like and most of the time I just needed one Axedwarf for them. But a bunch of Human Crossbowmen killed something around 30 of my Soldiers and a couple of Civilians. Kinda crazy :D

Edit: I still have a Champion, though. He's still lazy, but he's there.

Sorry, that I didn't response for a while, but I didn't have so much time to play DF and therefore another post wouldn't have made any sense.

Anyway, I'm in year 8 now with my Fort. I've reached a created Wealth of over 1 000 000. I've even been visited by a Dragon (I wasn't able to catch him, though. He kinda burned the cage he was in :-( ). Which is kinda good, because it adds some Fun, but Goblins are still rare. I have had two Ambushs since my last post and no Siege. So I think, the next Siege isn't so far away anymore.

I've spent a lot of time increasing the wealth further by carving walls and just crafting useless stuff. I hope thats enough.

Btw, I'm not on an Island or something. I've settled on the main continent and every Race (Human, Elf, Dwarf and Goblin) was listed on my embarkscreen as neighbours. I'm getting a lot of caravans, so my Fort really is reachable. (Well maybe not RIGHT NOW because of the dragonincident that kinda burned some bridges, but after I rebuilt them, everything should be fine again.)

So, I seem to have created 859000 of wealth and I have reached the Status of "City". I still only have a Baron and I'm missing more Sieges. Whats wrong?
I also seem to have 4 Traders on the map, just standing on the edge. They don't seem to affect caravans or belong to one. For now I'm just ignoring them, is this a bug? Or do they have a purpose? They're just listed as "Friendly" in my Units list.
And my caverns seem to be rather empty. I had a SB kill some (or most) of the population, but they're supposed to repopulate, aren't they?
