On last Saturday four buddies and I played a poker game called Texas Hold 'em - no limit. Two of my colleagues already played Texas Hold 'em poker therefore they explained the rules and the principle of the game. It's not difficult to understand - here is an introduction to Texas Hold 'em and a hand ranking - and it really makes a lot of fun.

We played with original (of course canceled) Las Vegas poker cards and nice poker chips.

Today Telesystem increased my internet connection speed to 3072/384 KBit per second for free. The 'fair use' (according the TOS a 30GB limit per month) principle applies to the tariff - that's a great offering for an Austrian Internet package. The Telekom, in comparision, provides a package with 1024/128KBit/s and 0,8GB traffic limit for the same price. An absurd offering is not it? Dumb Telekom Austria ...

Mein erster Gedanke war, dass nait vor hat mich auf den Arm zu nehmen *g aber wie es aussieht ist an der Geschichte wirklich etwas dran:

Was tut man nicht alles gegen so eine grausige Erkaeltung mit obligatorischen Hals- und Kopfschmerzen ... gedacht, getan. Habe mir eben ein Bier mit dem Kochtopf warm gemacht und bin gespannt, ob es gegen meine Erkaeltung hilft. Schmecken tut ein warmes Bier auf jeden Fall schrecklich aber was will man machen ... (o:

Finite is it so far - I successfully finished the lecture 'Algorithms and Data Structures'. Over the time I collected a lot of usefull links about several topics we discussed in AD.

Sorting algorithms:

• BubbleSort
• InsertionSort
• SelectionSort
• MergeSort
• QuickSort
• HeapSort (German)
• Topologisches Sortieren (German)

For information about a lot of different sorting algorithms have a look at http://sortieralgorithmen.de/ (German).

Avlsort, Bsort, Bitonicsort, Bitonic Mergesort, Bubblesort, Bucketsort, Combsort, Countingsort, Heapsort, Insertsort, Jumpsort, Mergesort, Minsort, MSsort, Oetsort, Partitsort, Plaselsort, Quicksort, Radixsort, Ripplesort, Selectsort, Shakersort, Shearsort, Shellsort, Simplesort, Tepifsort, Trippelsort

Hashing:

• Offenes Hashing (German)
• Geschlossenes Hashing (German)

Trees:

• Binary (Search) Tree
• AVL trees
• B trees
• Huffman trees

Shortest Path Problem:

• Dijkstra (German)
• Bellman-Ford (German)
• A* Algorithm

Minimum Spanning Tree (MST):

• Kruskal, Prim and Boruvka algorithm

Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP):

• MST heuristic
• Christofides heuristic (German)

Misc:

• Hamiltonian Circuit/Path - Hamiliton-Kreis
• Eulerian Path - Eulerweg/Eulerkreis

I also came across a nice book "Software Design Using C++" which explains the basics of C++ programming language, advanced topics of C++ and several implementations for data structures and algorithms. I did not look at the code and the C++ specific part of the book - anyway the algorithms and data structures are described quite well.
