PewResearch: “Despite Concerns about Governance, Ukrainians Want to Remain One Country”
PewResearch published a report about a poll that was conducted before the events in Odessa last Friday. The so-called “pro-Russian separatists”, or as the interim
Shame they don’t have one for the Blue Lagoon …
Could read something like: Don’t get fooled by the Blue Lagoon. Basically it’s waste water from a geothermal power plant. … and show the steaming Blue Lagoon with a few people bathing plus a steaming “factory” building in the background. … Continue reading

WWW == Wild Wild West?
Since April 2011 the companies of one Mr. Recher from Germany harassed me three times. I reported about this a few times already (e.g. here). I suspect I am not alone. Their scheme is to send automated, unverified abuse notifications … Continue reading

WWW == Wilder Wilder Westen?
Seit April 2011 belästigten mich die Firmen eines Herrn Recher aus Deutschland dreimal. Ich habe darüber schon einige Male berichtet (z.B. hier auf Englisch). Ich vermute ich bin nicht allein. Ihre Masche ist es automatisierte und ungeprüfte Mißbrauchs-Benachrichtigungen (engl. abuse … Continue reading

Kennt ihr das?
An der Oberfläche heißt von der Groß- und Urgroßelterngeneration immer “hoffentlich müßt ihr so eine Katastrophe nicht selbst erleben”. Das gleitet dann aber oft ab in ein “seid froh, daß ihr das nicht selbst erleben mußtet” und zwischen den Zeilen … Continue reading

Proof?
Now, this is a talk on the phone and as such not always easy to discern, especially with both people talking in parallel. The SBU, Ukraine’s secret service, has an article titled “SSU Has Evidence of Russian Involvement into Capture … Continue reading

Satire darf alles
… aber nur weil man etwas differenziert in den Medien – immerhin bezeichnet als die Vierte Macht – behandelt sehen will, ist man kein “Putinversteher”, bzw. verliebt in Putin, noch ein “NATO-Hetzer”, Herr Welke. Zu beidem qualifizieren sich aber all … Continue reading

Is Kerry the successor in spirit of Goebbels?
… and the State Department the new propaganda ministry? Check this out: http://youtu.be/jshAX9ialok Quite frankly I found the one-sidedness of this clip appalling. Not to mention the blatant lie starting at 1:12 concerning the options of the referendum on Crimea … Continue reading
Fully static build of tmux using libc-musl for Linux
Find a script that does the job here. It will download the source packages if they do not already exist and then unpack them into a subfolder of the current directory named tmux. Then it will one by one compile … Continue reading

Please, someone make this happen: Stephen Fry as Bond villain :)
During his very enjoyable “Stephen Fry in America” he makes so many impressions of a Bond villain that I thought it would be fun to see him as one. Alternatively it would be cool to see him as a more … Continue reading

“Scarecrow Organic Golden Pale Ale”
As can be expected from a pale ale, it is a bit hoppier. It has a golden color as the name already suggests and it was quite refreshing (at room temperature). The hop note is pronounced, but it doesn’t really … Continue reading

“St Peter’s Organic Ale”
This is a relatively pale-colored beer with a noticeable smoky note. Personally I didn’t like it because I dislike smoked food in general, but I found the malt and hope notes quite balanced. So if you prefer a balanced beer, … Continue reading

Git once again honors its name #2
Why is it that: $ git rev-parse –symbolic –branches gives me a perfectly parseable output when the more logical $ git branch -l gives me an extra “remark” ala: * (detached from v1.0.0)? The objective was to find out whether … Continue reading

Schämen sich die deutschen Medien für Gorbatschow?
Mit keinem Wort erwähnten die Abendnachrichten den Kommentar von Gorbatschow? Schämt man sich für den so eindeutigen Kommentar des ansonsten so heiß geliebten “Gorbi”? Im Spiegel findet sich hingegen folgende Erwähnung: Sogar Michail Gorbatschow, der Vater der Perestroika, begrüßt das … Continue reading

Faszinierend, Gorbatschow meint das Krim-Referendum korrigiert einen Fehler aus Sowjet-Zeiten
Ganz unrecht hat er ja nicht (russischer Artikel mit ursprünglichem Zitat): Если раньше Крым был присоединён к Украине по советским законам, то есть по партийным, не спрашивая народ, то сейчас сам народ решил исправить эту ошибку (президент СССР Михаил Горбачёв) … Continue reading
