another neat trick brought to you by the elephänts: append ?=PHPE9568F36-
when the march goes sainting it.
the server called "krycke" on which this weblog is running freezed after it "succeeded" with rotating the httpd server logs.
Mar 1 04:05:09 krycke AESctl: httpd -USR1 succeeded Mar 1 09:39:53 krycke syslogd 1.4-0: restart
no good.
fluxus kennt die lebensformel.
two weeks ago you read it at p3k, now you read it at telepolis: "mit seinem kurzfilm 'copyshop' wurde der österreichische regisseur virgil widrich für den oscar nominiert. 12 minuten, die den vorgang des kopierens sowohl von der inhaltlichen als auch – filmtechnisch – von der produktionsseite her thematisieren".
ooh, how i like that kind of pretending to be better informed than the holy rest of the publishing world.
drop your pants: find your birthday playmate. here is “mine”.
i also bought the book mac os x – the missing manual by david pogue which i am currently reading when metabolizing. heaps of excellent hints and clues about apple's new operating system. and o'reilly has got even some more.
michael moore: "[...] these corporations, they believe in socialism more than you or i. i mean, the airlines need a handout. they go to the government. anytime they are hurting, they go for welfare. and anytime that they can get rid of the competition, they hate free enterprise. they don't want you to have the choice of 12 airlines or five car companies, you know, or a dozen radio stations in one town owned by a dozen people".
just bought moore's book "stupid white men" to get an update of the american way of life in the 21st century (ie. after wtc).
server outages suck.
fox news: "music fans must rebel against greedy record industry – what happens when an industry mistreats its customers and its suppliers? when 8,999 of 9,000 audits show shoddy accounting practices? when a core business is bungled and the marketplace shrugs and moves on? when scandals and greed lead to massive layoffs and massive disgust?
i'm not talking about enron. i'm talking about the record industry."
hey, these fox news guys obviously aren't afraid of links!
well, because i am just at it, here's some information about what we are doing at orf on at the moment.
we are setting up a communication system which certainly is nothing less than an implementation of antville on a super-secure server. corporate weblogs, y'know.
actually, the people here need that quite desperately. in first place, because some of them often work at the farside, in different places (some folks call it tele-working, i don't).
but generelly, i consider it as necessity because the company lacks of communication. it's not that there is no communication culture, it's just that everyone seems to have an own one and there are at least three communication groups (or levels or skills or cultures) which do not resonate perfectly with each other.
i exactly did such a project at my former employer, pixelwings, using phpslash at that time (phpnuke just came out afterwards, unfortunately). i think it was a big success for the employées, the company and – probably – in consequence even for the clients. but who needs clients, anyway?
i am aware of the circumstance that this time it is a much more ambitious challenge. a different environment (a very complicated one), a different infrastructure. and different people.
sometimes i wish i would know more about group dynamics.
heather b. hamilton: "i lost my job today. my direct boss and the human resources representative pulled me into one of three relatively tiny conference rooms and informed me that the company no longer had any use for me. essentially, they explained, they didn't like what i had expressed on my website. i got fired because of dooce.com".
should i check it out and write something dangerous about my employer, too? in fact, there's a lot of funny stuff to report from here, heheh. but probably some of the links are trouble enough already.
