linuxdays in vienna.
georg jakob: "der kampf um das copyright".
sil.at: /dev/dsp -> burn those idle cycles.
sebastian sauer: "computing didn't start with microsoft - open source fiel nicht vom himmel."
eric s. raymond: "freedom, power, and software - what the internet teaches us about ethics and politics".
the antville bros.: "managing antville - community sites with helma".
now for a serious question:
who would like to meet eric s. raymond in vienna – presumably on next monday?
just drop me a comment or e-mail. or simply spread the word.
motzes: "maybe the right question here is not open source but how carl von clausewitz war strategies apply to the software world". touché!
q: may i link this one? a: i think so.
domino effect.
right now, a lot of things are happening around antville. i think we need a developer's meeting!
and welcome aboard, mr schwan (pars pro toto netzeitung).
antville is not a ship. i know.
evil of the day.
btw. who got the second dissuasion netzeitung.de is reporting about? textz.com?
link of the day.
netzeitung: "das weblog-biotop – in letzter zeit werden auch im deutschsprachigen raum die netztagebücher immer beliebter. eine der beliebtesten communitys nennt sich antville. ein gespräch mit den machern".
translation: the weblog habitat – recently also in the german-speaking area net diaries [er, weblogs?] get more and more popular. one of the most popular communities is called antville. an interview with the creators.
although i am a little fan of dogma2000, i am often very disappointed about the linguistic skills of professional journalists.
german computer magazine "chip" has some background information about netzeitung.de.
yes, it's true: currently, i am at the edge of weblogging.
because you are at the edge of old habits, my fryend...
ich sollte einfach mal versuchen, die klappe zu halten.
have fun, however!
yesterday, the queen of trash invited me to a concert by a group called supertramp. a band which has been performing on stage for a longer time than i've been performing on mother earth.
funny, when i was around 10 years old i listened a lot to "the crime of the century" album from my sister. such early audio experiences are glued to your ears, probably forever. no surprise did i still know every song of that record they played live (esp. "rudy" with all its breaks and alterations).
they did not perform "dreamer", though. and "it's raining again", neither. why?
it's not music as we know it, jim!
what happened in the meantime?
last thursday, this weblog was linked (or rather: exposed) at netzeitung.de and its server got weak at the knees.
3:32pm up 3 days, 17:16, 1 user, load average: 22.31, 12.71, 7.48
so i decided to switch off p3k. because i got weak at the knees, too.
later, jörg "schockwellenreiter" kantel got proof of the german antichrist of the internet, ie. a dissuasion was sent to him from the lawyers of that publishing house (obviously, they earn something like 15.000 € per hour and even have quite some time to loiter around in innocent web spaces).
this all happened because jörg and i and some others linked to data that publishing house itself has pushed into the net under the name of that bloody book to make some journalists horny for 26 june, when that bloody book will be published, officially and finally.
now there's turmoil – and fairly so.
time for a google bomb?
at least time for thinking.
marcus hammerschmitt: offener brief (to marty walsman).
b3ta: "i've watched this movie twice and still don't really understand what's going on. it features pigs, economic growth, and alludes to sex. it's also beautifully made". indeed.
ditto: science, optics and you – powers of ten.
