it's fun to rummage in userland's static server – that's the place where editthispage people upload their images and gems: golden gate qtvr, evolution, the blue planet, fireants...

eastern hardcore! ei verbibsch: my mother taught me to speak saxon, a german dialect to be found around leipzig (or jena). but as much as we giggled at the time, i never burst out laughing like i did listening to the little mp3 piece i found today renovating claudia's partykeller...

i call it synchronicity but maybe it's just a bloody lucky chance that somebody developed further the idea of creating a "who posts first in futurezone" contest (rewarded in "cyberfuzos")... interestingly, that guy ran an automatic posting script recently.

really cool: www.subnet.at – if only more "net culture" sites could be like that...

they have an incredible tool called mprox – a dream for molesterers and a nightmare for authorities. mprox is a proxy server that lets everybody leave comments on any web page or do other wicked things with its content! definitely worth checking out.

walid and heike once had the idea to virtually "pee" on websites. mprox brings them a step closer...

because my first name is definitely not mirko (my second is marc, close but no cigar!) i am not involved in dvision.at. at least not yet.

that's not me either and i do not play the fiddle, understand?

yesterday i was at the opening of the exhibition "kunst und industrie" at the museum of applied arts. die lockere gesellschaft realized four media stations and produced a cd-rom accompanying the exhibition. well, i did not see smashing exhibits there, it's more about art and history (me ignorant) but the multimedia applications are beautifully and unostentatiously designed. impressing by simplicity. yummy information design.

austrian weblog on politics popo.at is among the candidates to be voted for as best austrian website... how strange – but terrific as well.

the award is presented by e-media which is a quite brandnew magazine about "internet, computer und handy" for john sixpack. and although i never read it, i think it's trashy. c'mon, the site is made with frames!

thank you hannes for the nice congrats. i am just always in doubt with those awards: how can they claim to choose the best austrian site? i have never authorized them and neither did most of us. what is the quality of such a competition? as hannes wrote: "einem geschenkten link schaut man nicht ins maul" – that's for sure.

why does this sound as unsophisticated as a governmental youth employment program? "new media for everyone! bringing a new world in motion! thrilled about economies of scale!" (yawn...).

"wollt ihr das totale eigentum?!?!" – no, thanks.

it's 3:16 pm and i've just created the final so-called "golden master" cd-rom of ribingu rumu! gosh, the project started in march 1999... holy moly. however, i am free at last!

i did the lingo programming and i swear another time that i will never program in lingo again. this time it's for sure, i promise to myself (well, at least concerning cd-roms). shit, i am already making concessions again!

cd-roms suck because i have to be so bloody careful with everything – re-checking any functionality or content ten times. because when it is produced i cannot change it anymore and a spelling mistake becomes an ever-lasting memento. yuck, this way of old-fashioned traditional publishing! i am sick of it.

the web is so different.
