Grüppe D-Zyne Projekt

Welcome to the Grüppe D-Zyne Projekt, or theGDP. A blog for random writings on the various experiments and thoughts of two procrastinating Computer Science students.

Paul: I felt an introductory post was necessary, until I actually sat down and started to write it. Check the About Site page for a little more background, and the About Authors page for inane profiles of the two authors.

Al: Rather than contribute to this, I’m going to learn from past mistakes and not bother. Every single blog I’ve ever tried to start has featured a hard-hitting introductory post, a thought-provoking follow-up, and then nothing. So rather than set up another colossal anticlimax, I’m going to step back in the hope that things can only get better.

Regular (in the loosest sense of the word) features will include:

• “Taste Tests”, conducted by our sister organisation the APA Journal Of Food Tasting, in the vein of popular British TV show Richard & Judy, presented by the endearing Richard Madeley and his incompetent sidekick (apparently his wife or something), Judy Finnegan.
• “Cheap Technology”, where we attempt to recreate some high-tech, prototype, or made-up piece of technology merely using household items.
• That’s essentially it for now. However, bearing in mind that the two existing features were conjured up within about a minute of the site’s conception, you can probably expect more exciting features to appear as we dream them up.

So stay tuned for all of this and more. The first major articles will include a rather topical Taste Test, as well as a rather “handy” (lol) piece of HCI genius, reconstructed from egg boxes and tin foil (well, almost). With such indispensible futuristic contraptions being realised so soon, often for less than a pound, how can you possibly resist?
