Наш дурдом (голосует за Путина)
Русский / Deutsch / English Die russische Rockgruppe Рабфак hat ein nettes Lied (Youtube oder hier oder hier) welches die aktuelle Stimmung vieler Russen so kurz vor den Präsidentschaftswahlen in Russland widerspiegelt.

Not used often enough in my opinion
Often people put on a condescending smirk when they hear that I still have to use CVS, let alone Subversion, in some projects. In numerous projects I have seen the performance of CVS and that of Subversion and it is … Continue reading
Þverholtsfoss
We have a new waterfall in Iceland. Best of all, it’s not far from downtown Reykjavík in Þverholt (a street), no 300m from the bus station Hlemmur. So it’s one of the cheapest sightseeing locations for tourists and strong competition … Continue reading

Design and misdesign
So I did it. Ordered an iPad2 (despite the knowledge that the 3rd generation will hit the market soon). And what shall I say? Crap so far. Trying to get this thing to work with the WLAN router at my … Continue reading
GPG precompiled binaries for Win32
Well well, since I don’t trust others with this and I haven’t found signed binaries for GPG 1.4.11 from people I trust, I rolled my own. If you are looking for them and know or find that you can trust … Continue reading

-0.9 (= 38.8)
I’m in an odd mood. No idea where it comes from. Still, it reminded me of this: Blackadder: Brilliant! No time to lose. George, set up your easel, Baldrick and I will pose. This is going to be art’s greatest … Continue reading
