i wish apple would have an order tracker showing where those neat parcels loiter around at the moment. well, meanwhile i am nuzzling through the x-related stuff at res excellence, macosx.com and macosx.org. not to mention macintouch, macnn and macslash.
süddeutsche zeitung: "tüftler versuchen, telefonnummer, e-mail-adresse und postanschrift zu vereinigen. eine idee wurde nun von einem schwedischen ingenieur präsentiert".
0.3.8.1.2.9.8.9.4.e164.arpa – does this really make sense? i mean, besides the fact that not all humans easily read numbers from right to left, who could tell with just one look if a letter belongs to oneself or to the neighbours? that's why i like the way phone numbers are communicated in the states, e.g. 1-800-MY-APPLE or 1-800-UPYOURS. wouldn't that be a good concept to model the holistic address for the future?
what i do understand, however, is that i need to be drunk to watch stefan raab or a german bundestag debate. with a few promille that's quite entertaining and i even laugh about some of the jokes. when i am sober again, i wonder if most of the germans might have a serious alcohol problem.
the reason is probably that there are no cluetrain books for television wrights or politicial pates, yet. and very likely there won't be any, ever...
i'll probably never understand people looking for friendship via the web while being emotionally too twisted to have a proper relationship to the person next door. same for people caring more about a distant phantom apparently being ill from leukemia than rather giving some respect to a close relative's health disabilites. is it simply natural, er, human that the farside concerns us more than the touch of proximity? do we hope to be more reluctant when we reach out far away from where we failed? nah, it's just that american moralelastic acting.
or yet another marketing strategy for yet another emotional overload from hollywood.
"okay you pathetic halfwits, listen up and listen GOOD. i missed a fucking week of updating. why? because i dont give a shit about this page and i certainly dont give a goddamn shit about you braindead jackasses reading my fucking web-site." – cliff yablonski hates you (via pixelix).
a weblog totally dedicated to a delicate topic: "radio im netz".
i miss the punk attitude on elke "ella propella" hering's website... or is she doing the queer things here? <g>
uh, no, i just did not click on the right spots: there are them monsters and underground babies.
ok, and who's inside this poofy suit?
probably a big difference between weblogging and the myth of professional journalism is that stalwarts of the latter build much too many words around a simple link...
from vienna via prague viamichelin to berlin: 625km, 7h30.
yes, stapler indeed is an interesting tool for radio userland that creates rss feeds from simple html web sites of my choice. but it lacks usability, messes with style sheets (especially scrollbars) and i don't understand how to set it up for scanning some pages. with all the experience of quirks and inconsistency in radio userland itself i definitely will beware of using a plug-in even tipsier than its socket. alas.
