Terminator 2000 and seven.

As I mentioned in the About:Me section on the right, I'm currently into finishing my bachelor degree of computer science at the Vienna University of Technology. To state it precisely I'm doing some special field of computer science which is called 'media informatics' or 'computer science in media'. I don't know if there is the one and only correct translation from the German word which is 'Medieninformatik'.
For this reason, two of my colleagues and I are working on a 'little' piece of Java that should be able to compare live pictures from a regular webcam-stream to pictures that are stored in a database and finally to correctly identify them to be equal or at least very similar. As it sounds pretty interesting it really is! But it's indeed a little tricky too. Currently we are planning to finish our work by the end of the next week. Who knows if we can make it? Only Java does... And seriously no, I will not tell you how long we are already working on it!! ;-)

Wish us good luck! Max

Why bombermax?

I believe you already had in mind a question like this. Why the hell is this blog called bombermax?
Well, the answer is such a doddle. I'm really into playing SNES these times. Guess what's my favourite game. The honourable Super Bomberman 2! So a few days ago a friend of mine came up with this lovely joke to call me bombermax. That's the end of the story. :-)

Still yours, Max
