tonight there was a power failure here at helma labs.
i don't know if there is a correlation but all i can say is that today my machine runs unpredictably unstable. apache suddenly returns an error when it is stopped and after logon the desktop takes ages until it is displayed.
and on hannes' laptop i have troubles, too. the machine freezes because of a problem with iexplorer which causes (the "normal") explorer to crash as well – ie. the taskbar is not reacting, i cannot open any folder, not even start the task manager. die hard!
computer life stinks, at least sometimes.
christian langreiter on the ubiquitous inflation of the word commerce. true.
"mit to make nearly all course materials available free on the world wide web" – open course ware.
so little time, as if: the world time server shows the current time all around the world.
ptbtime1.ptb.de is a reliable ntp-server in germany at physikalisch-technische bundesanstalt braunschweig (the home of atomic time).
i hoped to find some more time server resources at this page, but unfortunately the guy who maintained it ran out of time (resp. wasted too much of it answering strange phone calls).
pre-view of rebol/view. introducing "the world wide reb". hmmm... another paradigm shift? it's not unusual.
i found additional information to my ftp invaders issue in a macintouch special report about ftp hijacking.
phew, i am not the only one (but i never thought so anyway). and besides the scary effect, it remains a quite interesting idea and concept.
"stealing eyeballs", well, well... don't get me wrong: i am really happy that one of the most talented human beings i was allowed to get to know is telling those folks something about the real stuff. but the whole concept is so hilarious. i mean: "eyeballs" is a term even the hardliners in internet buzziness gave up three years ago... come on, please!
questions: why the heck does it have to be the usual suspects a-l-l-t-h-e-t-i-m-e? why do i have to cope here with terms like "interface specialist" and a general tone of voice in the texts that make me feel as if those people featured on the site are looking for an ugly job?
the e-conomy bullshitters are silent for now since they lost too much money. now here come the artists picking up the turt, not caring about checks and balances. never mind – and fuck, you are so cool, i cannot stand it.
nedstatbasic in new clothes (version 3). better.
i apologize to everyone who wants to contact me in these days. i am strictly busy until tonight... after today a workbench is clean and a door will be shut behind me.
i am looking forward to partying on the euroranch!
