This article documents my first hours with my Rift.

I am following Rift stuff for a couple of months now and have been very excited from the beginning. I was tempted to buy a DK1 in winter but in the end I was patient enough to wait until the DK2 pre-order. As soon as I could order and roughly knew when I would get my hands on it, I made sure I would be contract-free so I could really dive into the Rift when it arrived.

Yesterday morning I just as normal started with some Android stuff but eventually after lunch I would be to excited about the soon-to-expect UPS guy. So I could at least make sure my Windows and graphics drivers were up to date (I only use Windows for gaming so far). I also downloaded UE4 which I plan on trying out in the next couple of days.

My old website existed only for three reasons:

1. Google Play wants you to provide a business website
2. German law required an ‘Impressum’
3. I wanted to play with express.js

Since the site only had the ‘Impressum’, express.js was obviously an overkill. The only code redirected you to /impressum. Trying new stuff and now maybe actually fill this site with some more life, I was searching for a new engine which would fit my needs.
