lucky me, i do not have to watch "gefangene, die mit tesa vor dem mund in ihren zellen stehen und 'hmp! hmp!' machen". and lucky me again, i do not have to worry about the german cinema because i am in austria (and they have bloody good movies here) and because "der letzte neue deutsche film" was already shot. dead, probably.

call for papers: "rechtsrahmen der network economy" on wednesday, september 26, 2001 at the juridicum of university vienna.

in germany you get fooled from the beginning: as a child i really devoured the books of the three investigators. and now i have to realize that justus jonas essentially is called jupiter jones and peter shaw's real last name is crenshaw. why the heck would you make such stupid "german" translations at all?

however, the boys come from rocky beach and there i found a reference to the vollplaybacktheater from cologne who are acting according to the radio plays available on tape. sounds quite hilarious.

the music of the internet: turns your ip number into music. well, at least nobody can prove the opposite. and it sounds quite nice, sometimes.

one day i'll have to build a chat system, too: vanilla-talk by christian langreiter.

blogger date issues and how they are solved. however, either javascript or php is needed. popo.at (which recently had the longest outage ever) is now using a custom php solution inspired by tom burke's posting. instead of e.g. "Montag, Januar 01, 1970" the date format is now in the common german format "Montag, 01. Januar 1970".

<?
setlocale("LC_TIME", "german");
function germanDate($date) {
  return(strftime("%A, %d. %B %Y", strtotime("$date")));
}
echo(germanDate("&lt;$BlogDateHeaderDate$&gt;"))
?>

whoops, userland just released the final version candidate of radio userland... however, my previous posting remains.

in a viennese rag fair the artist oliver croy found a trash bag containing 387 modelling houses and a bunch of slides. these modellings were tinkered by peter fritz, an insurance officer, who created them more or less abiding by the real houses to be seen on the slides. since that somehow historic day, croy and his colleagues practise fritz-forschung (fritz research) and the modellings went from the shallow of dust to the olymp of architecture and provide a headstrong image of the 1950s and 60s in austria. until march 18, 2001, they are exhibited at the museum für volkskunde in vienna.
