mr langreiter is setting up his intranet: lab-uno.synerge-internal, that is. i hope it's fun for you, christian! he promised to use vanilla there and he is keeping his promise. very well done. i could not convince the company i work for to use such a great tool, yet. what raises the question whether i am not convincing at all or the company is not too smart...
the next big feature being integrated into userland's manila is localization. finally catching up with blogger. watch out for frontier's nightly updates...
christine zmölnig: "copyright or the right to copy? – alternatives to intellectual property protection online".
it seems (and not surprisingly) that every effort of mankind to enlighten the human spirit sooner or later ends in its exact opposite. originally, copyright was established to protect the authors from a monopoly of the publishers. today it's the publishers who scream for copyright protection. naturally, this raises the old question about whether both the "good" and the "bad" side of being human are immanent in such efforts already from their beginning as a tiny mind eruption. this is the tragedy of humanity and humanities and of me not being a philosopher (at least i would not call myself one).
to-do list for today:
- write e-mail to pimi

to-do list for the next weeks:
it's sooo satisfying, the sweetness of late vengeance, resp. gratification: i never showed any respect for those arrogant and stupid a&r people whose only skill is to use a phone and accidentally make it onto any guest list in the musical universe (and that's all that matters to them). no, ma'am, i as well used the same dirty terminology, used to think of the same metaphor – and that the music business stinks. the discreet scent of the net gives me back my lost dignity (remember this, hannes? you said it so well). it's becoming clearer and clearer every breath i take.
"german democratic republic joke #3932: 'not everything was bad at that time.' – 'but the highways...'" – does this joke work in english? in german it surely does and i am very gladsome that there is finally a new issue (#27) of salbader ("preach"?), the "canoe of punchlines".
what am i doing here? i am digitally writing down urls together with little notes about them and publishing the result openly. i do this mainly because i am too retarded to handle so-called favorites or bookmarks in a feature-overdosed browser. and because i believe that someone else could be interested in this strange collection of website summaries, too. there are necessary and sufficient conditions why to blog. find out yourself but leave untouched the beauty of numbers.
from the joy in repetition department: "having 10 million hits is not the game plan. having 10 regular readers is a home run" (scribble).
