der spiegel: "realistisch betrachtet, haben ein paar bse-rinder die ökologische landwirtschaft weiter vorangebracht als 20 jahre umweltpolitik. [...] was wir brauchen, ist so eine art tschernobyl der weltwirtschaft".

phrase of the day: my feet! dedicated to some of my favorite weblogs.

the x window user and the x window setup howto.

uh, and of course the x window disaster: "how to make a 50-mips workstation run like a 4.77mhz ibm pc".

*nix people often complain about graphic designers to mutilate the web with their creations (just stoking some prejudices), but when i look at those screenshots of different x windows managers [1, 2, 3], i get quite a different picture...

meanwhile, back in the jungle: it's unbelievable how simple helma object publisher installs on mac os x! downloading, unpacking and starting – voilà! no configuring needed (except for the twisted at heart). makes me careless for another release of a classic mac version of hop.

and certainly, i also got the mysql package for os x from marc liyanage's website. the webmonkey helped me installing it.

funny, there is that ruby language crossing my way again... interesting to read the translation of some chapters of the japanese "pragmatic programmer's guide".

"kaffe is a cleanroom, open source implementation of a java virtual machine and class libraries". i am curious how this will get along with my netbsd experiment (if ever)...

i mean, the machine now even runs xwindows (using twm). so why not java? or hop? <g>

should i start a mac68k port weblog?

hey, such a personality disorder test puts me in good humour. i am very satisfied with myself. and finally i know the missing word to describe a spoonful of my social environment: histrionic.

bundesdance. dope for the people. hey, but it's fun! well, well...

so, schlumpfine is called smurfette in english... (rather sounds like hannes' motorbike). how interesting. what is her name in the land where the belgian schtroumpfs are called "puffi"? puffinella?

places to go while the pizza is made (ie. the performa 475 installing the netbsd packages): apple system software, apple code names, apple history timeline, xenu link checker (tiny but strong), jabber (now becoming instant messenger at helma), bsd – linux with a twist, the difference between bsd and linux, mac-fdisk manual pages, netbsd home, macbsd home, muc.lists.netbsd.port.mac68k, netbsd manual pages, wasabi systems and unix reference desk.

that cats like mice might not be the latest gossip. nevertheless, i was surprised as well as bothered when my parent's cat killed the mouse of my old pizzabox – just two days before i wanted to take both (computer and input device, not the cat) with me...

but thanks to the schockwellenreiter (and the austrian post – finally) i am now a proud owner of a "new" old apple adb mouse and an adapter to connect a vga monitor to the low-end mac.

next step: checking out linux, netbsd and openbsd for 68k processors (doing nuclear fission on a macintosh)...

today's a great day on the sofa: peter praschl is bashing the medi(ev)al world in germany. anne philippi, lisa feldmann, roger willemsen and “la notte” (trash tv on tm3) – they all get what they might deserve. what a good start of the day! i feel fine.

this reminds me on a book i got from luzie braun, my favourite mate in high school once upon a time: “dichter beschimpfen dichter” by jörg drews.

wow, this even seems to be some kind of academic science...
