Irgendwie merkwürdig, aber auf meinem gestrigen und heutigen Nachrichtenradar (kein TV!) ist nirgends aufgetaucht, dass genau vor 65 Jahren mit der deutschen Kapitulation zumindest hier der Zweite Weltkrieg zuende ging.
Ist das inzwischen nicht mehr so wichtig??
Keine Kranzlegungen, keine Ansprachen, kein Dossier, nichts?
Mich hackt's wohl. Frohen ( Read more... )

Since the aforementioned LG N2R1 NAS has a built in DVD or BlueRay Burner AND is advertised to have iSCSI built in, one of the first superfluous desires of this person was to watch my Easter DVD from the NAS in bed another room over WiFi.
And it even worked, yay! \o/

Had I chosen to get me an Inspiron 11z or a Netbook without built in DVD this would ( Read more... )

New laptops (should) bring new challenges to ones backup strategies, right?
Thus a new NAS found it's way into my toy park, a LG N2R1 to be precise, a) because it looks good, b) I found a cheap one and c) it's silent.
So suddenly I not only had this now Kubuntu powered DELL Inspiron laptop to deal with, but also this little cube with a CPU that's ( Read more... )

As I wrote yesterday, while being in Kraków I also was at the theatre, the Scena Kameralna Starego Teatru, to be precise.( Who would have thunk… )

I don't have the long breath to write an essay about this trip and my brave old PowerBook G4 also seems to look at me and say:
"Please, only some very short prose, no embedded photos, no videos, just a few short sentences will do. I'm tired, please do some housework instead! I can't keep up with your typing already, have some mercy!"
So let me begin ( Read more... )

Want music? Get some!

The company famous for cars with a star in front of the window for pedestrian hunting has also been doing something nice on the web publishing sector.
Every two months they have been releasing a free-as-in-beer music sampler in mp3 format for quite some time now, filled with lounge music of yet to be known tomorrow's music stars ( Read more... )

Today I ordered a Inspiron 11z laptop right from the German Dell website. It took me hours but I think I succeeded. Eventually.
I'm not sure if it was really worth the pain, yet, but rest assured, I'll let you know ASAP ;)

If you're looking for something like THE Dell experience vs. let's say an Apple experience, the difference is in how they try to ( Read more... )

"When all seems lost and gone
There's still a JobCenter in the neighbourhood you can count on!"

Just a quickie to show how bad I am. At lyrics and life advisory.
But please don't get mad at me.
It's more important not to miss the table at the bottom of this SPON article for a good context sensitive portion of cynism.
Spot the "0" there. This zero stands ( Read more... )

I dreamt. And in this dream it was summer.
And on this bright summer day I suddenly dreamt of a very snowy winter.
Which I enjoyed. This dream.
Being a dream winter in the midst of a real summer.
Within my real dream. In winter.
It was amazing, as a game and an illusion. Of another dream.
Of two perfect seasons of happiness so close.
Nota bene: I wished ( Read more... )

There's a new feature in Google Reader, that allows everybody to create a custom feed of any website, even one that doesn't offer any RSS or Atom feed.
For all the bloggers out there this news isn't interesting at all, because I'm sure most of us use the possibility of Wordpress, LJ, Blogspot etc. to just blow them feeds loudly out into the vast ( Read more... )
