Auf dem LinuxTag in Berlin

Monday, June 7th, 2010

Ich bin am 12. Juni 2010 auf dem LinuxTag auf dem Berliner Messegelände, vielleicht läuft man sich ja über den Weg? Falls ich nicht schon durch meine Statur auffalle, sollte man einfach nach einem Typen mit einem weißen T-Shirt mit monotone-Logo Ausschau halten... ;)

Guerilla Gardening

Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010

Das kam gerade über den Critical Mass-Verteiler in Leipzig: .... und plötzlich werden von irgendwo her mit Erde gefüllte Badewannen im Uni-Innenhof auftauchen und die herbeiströmenden Menschen können nach Lust und Laune einen Grashalm, eine Blume, einen Samen hineinsplanzen ... Wann? Do., 3. Juni, 11.00 Uhr Wo? Innenhof des Campusneubaus Mitbringen? Blumen, Pflanzen, ...

They’re not enough yet (Update)

Friday, December 18th, 2009

I'm watching the climate conference in Copenhagen with great anger, mostly because I'm just feeling confirmed that the manhood is simply stupid. Not individuals on their own, but if they're organized and have to go into the one, the only right direction, they're completly dumb. I mean, how many homeless, ...

Das ist meine Laterne!

Monday, September 7th, 2009

Am vergangenen Wochenende war ich mal wieder unterwegs in meiner alten Heimat Eisenach, ja genau dem Eisenach, wo einige Tausend Beschäftigte um den Ausgang des Bieterwettstreits um Opel bangen. Besonders erschrocken hat mich hier die breite Plakatierung von NPD und REP auf fast allen Ausfallstraßen und vor allem auch in Innenstadt-/ ...

Election day

Wednesday, April 8th, 2009

Germany's next election day lies still quite a bit in the future (sometime in September), but the discussion about "Politikverdrossenheit" (disenchanted with politics) has already started in the media. Today I was proven right (German,  automated translation) that my "Politikverdrossenheit" is actually not based on a lack of interest on ...

Slow Death (update)

Tuesday, February 3rd, 2009

I visited my grandparents last sunday and it was a really awful experience. My grandfather, 86yrs old, is sickened with something between dementia and Alzheimer's disease, and his condition degrades from day to day. If I remember him from my visit in late spring 2008, where he was, as usual, ...

Read encrypted emails via webmail?

Friday, January 9th, 2009

I was recently asked how to read encrypted emails securely in some untrusted environment via webmail. Imagine you're sitting on someone else' computer and absolutely need to check your inbox for this one encrypted email which contains a password without which you can't continue. Or you're in some internet cafe ...

You can’t keep me here

Thursday, October 9th, 2008

I wanna shake I wanna wind out I wanna leave This mind and shout I've lived All this life Like an ocean In disguise I don't live for Ever You can't keep Me here I wanna race With the sundown I want a last breath Forgive Every being The bad feelings It's just me I won't wait For answers You can't keep Me here I wanna rise And say goodnight Wanna take A look on the ...

Time to move on?

Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008

Women are like software: If you're new to it, everything is exciting and awesome, all the fancy things, the bells and whistles you discover make you happy and feel better. As time moves on you're getting more used to it, try to master the software f.e. by using shortcuts, customize ...
