HAR: Movie Contest

The BlinkenArea arranged a movie competition and would like to invite you to enter the contest during the next few days. The objective is to create movies for TroiCade, that is placed in the HARcade Village, with resolution 32 by 24. All animations will be shown on the project as soon as you send them in. In the run-up to HAR, a jury was assembled to choose the best three movies. Prizes will be awarded at the end of the event.

You can find information about how to create your own movie on HAR Movie Contest pages of the BlinkenArea Wiki. Please submit your animation by 16th August, 2009 at 11pm. Send it to contest ‘at’ blinkenarea.org. If you have any questions, please drop us a line, call the BlinkenArea (DECT #2023) or visit us at BlinkenArea Village in our nice tent.

HAR: Village Nearly Finished

During the last two days, we continued to build up more BlinkenArea projects. Yesterday, the construction lights were arranged and got wired today. We also set up the Glider and improved it by coating the roof battens with black paint (Thanks to PoC Sascha, who origanised the paint and to the guys, who borrowed it). TroiCade is now operating at HARcade, a village about computer games. Furthermore, the IT infrastructure has been installed and the tent has been cleaned up already. Today, we will ad some information about the projects. Thus, we nearly completed the BlinkenArea village so far. Unfortunately, the weather is cloudy and rainy most of the time. 🙁

Blinkenarea Village on Day -1

Now, it is time for cooking. Have a nice afternoon!

HAR: Happy Meal

Yesterday, we prepared our first meal in our great tent. It was spaghetti with cheese and tomato sauce – what else? But for the sake of variety, we had pancakes with a various number of side dishes, such as apple and cranberry puree, Nutella, bacon, and cheese, a short while ago with Efelon and Sandra, who joined us this afternoon. Hence, our mothers can be assured that everything is fine with us.

HAR: Arrived at de Paasheuvel

Travel to NL - in between a large traffic jam
Today, we arrived at HAR area between 2 and 3 am, although we planned to join HAR on sunday. Heavy traffic and our nice trailer allowed us to cover the distance to the Netherlands in about 13 hours. After that horrible awesome trip, we pitched our tents immediately and went to bed just before 6 am. Noise waked us up at 9.30 am and of course we were all pretty tired today, but take a deep breath of fresh air when waking up was great.

Nevertheless, we started to build up the BlinkenArea village. Yesterday, Stefan and his dad had already installed the new orange BlinkenArea tent. Hence, we got started unloading our nice trailer in the morning and set out the first projects, such as blueboxMini, Glider and TroiCade, during the day. In the evening, we went for a walk and wanted to buy some food in town. Unfortunately, the shop closed just before our arrival and we had to have a second try by car. The PoC recommended a nearby shop, where we could get everything. Thank you very much!

The sun was shining during the day, but in the meantime it started to rain. Hopefully, it will stop soon. Have a nice evening, everybody!

Wir gegen Viren

Das Robert-Koch-Institut (RKI) und die Bundeszentrale für gesundheitliche Aufklärung (BZgA) haben auf die drohende Gefahr durch das sogenannte Schweinegrippevirus mit der Kampagne “Wir gegen Viren” reagiert. In Postern und Bröschüren sowie auf der Webseite gibt es zahlreiche Informationen über die Krankheit selbst, ihre Verbreitung, den Schutz gegen die Grippe und warum Händewaschen so wichtig ist…

Händewaschen ist also eins der einfachen Mittel gegen die Verbreitung des Virus. Daher sei der geneigte Leser an dieser Stelle dazu aufgefordert, sich mehr als regelmä?ig die Hände zu waschen. Au?erdem empfehle ich auch, die anderen Tipps nachzulesen. So kann jeder seinen Beitrag im Kampf gegen die Grippe leisten. Danke.
