A friend (who wants to stay anonymous) sent me this image today which he found at Regan Mandryk's Blog. It describes exactly how I felt at work today. I had a lot of uncreative coding to do.

And I think Herr Schmidt felt the same way.

my favorite SPA is drowning - someone must have left the tab running all night - damned. wanted to go relax this weekend… in CLEAN WATER! not amusing at all, this situation… B

talking about FUBAS…. hope not!

In Germany the prices for mobile phone connections keep on dropping and finally reached the point where providers offer free phone calls to national landlines phones.

Assuming that you have

• a broadband internet connection at home
• a normal phone line at home
• a notebook
• and a mobile phone that can serve as a modem for your notebook
• (and of course a little geek inside you that tells you not to stop working until technology makes living easier)

you can now connect to the internet for free everywhere where you can make a mobile phone call.

You need two additional things:

• A flat rate for your mobile phone (in Germany this'll cost you 25€/month and 25€ fee for subscribing to the service)
• and an old i486 computer, that has a modem (yes, the one you thought you'd never use again), a network card and a floppy disk drive.

This blog entry gives you a short introduction on how to set up your system. Read the rest of this entry »

RSS2PFD converts an rss feed to a pdf document. Comes in very handy if you don't have web access in the subway on your way to work.

Another great online service to manage your news feeds is Bloglines (Richard got me started with this one). I use it to keep a consistant list of feeds instead of having to synchronise lists on several computers with different operating systems.

How do you read and organize your feeds? I'm still looking for an offline reader for my Sony P800. Any idea?

Stefan Koldehoff talks about the “Weltjugendtag” in Cologne (in German, on Deutschlandradio). I just looove his comment.
He's THE pop specialist (he's also writing for Spex) and now in Cologne for the German newspaper TAZ.

(And remember: “Wir sind Papst”)

Richard traut sich nicht, das zu posten. “Ich schick so Scheiße nie rum!”

Even mehr haha.

Ok, come on, at least I tried… (This man has better images of the ship.)
