The only constant is change,
while I was pretty surprised about the nature of change, when I first heard that saying from a Professor of mine way back in time when I was studying, I think in the last couple of weeks I got into the deeper meaning of it.
Things changed: I planned not to do a Laptopbattle anymore! But hey, this time I could not resist. A really cool guy from Naples contacted me and asked me to help him out organizing a Laptopbattle in Naples/Italy.
First I thought he is kidding or something. But then we met in Berlin and soon he invited me to visit him in Naples. I am just back from a 6 day trip to Naples and I have to admit that Naples is a very nice city!
While in Naples we set up his test Website, which will be going live soon. Anybody interested in beta testing our Website: please check out

We are looking for you feedback! The Battle is planned to happen in September 2008. Anybody feeling like playing in Naples/Italy is welcome to send us demos.
I am pretty sure that the Battle in Naples will rock!
Ah, uh, and as a side note. While in Naples, I figured out that Autechre is playing live in Rome and made a short but very intense trip to Rome, too!
Looking forward for your feedbacks!
[UPDATE] The site is available in Italian, English, and German:

Heh, tylth. The fun part of change is that in upfront you don't know of a "right" direction. In fact, what is wrong today turnes out pretty right later, sometimes!
Anyway, for Germany I plan either Frankfurt or Stuttgart or both. But I need help with it. Organizing such a huge Battle on my own, is a pretty demanding and exhausting "hobby".
However, the Naples trip gave me quite a kick and I am looking forward to get enough feedback to start another Battle in Germany.

tylth, we have Italian/English/German translation of the site. Just check the upper left part of the site for the language switch 
Feedback we are looking for is whether there are some obvious stupid bugs or some annoying layout problems. Whether it works on your browser or not. We have tested Firefox, Safari, and IE 6.0 so far.

Ok, have to check it with Safari. I have a rather unusual setup here with 1920x1200 on my main work station. Increasing the font size is rather easy, though. Thanks for your feeback!

"qwerty" means here your laptop and the keyboard. The word laptop is used alot through the text, so we thought to use a cryptic synonym for it.
At least, the sentence works. It makes you think, and it made you write a question.

Sorry, but I speak no Italian. The Italian translation was done by Achille from Naples. Maybe his southern Italian sounds a bit different? If you have any suggestions, please let me know!
