Oh, this is something new. Comment spam is getting a little more creative. Now it insults people and is posted with more than just one line. If they’d just use less obvious mail addresses, website urls and use a few words from the context to make it seem like it would be actually on topic, [...]

Let’s say your walking down the platform at the train station to the farther end of the train and you wonder if you can make it there before the train leaves.
My approach: I see a service wagon in front of train. It’s about to change tracks to make way. Adding some time for resetting the [...]
Abzocke in der Nachbarschaft
Laut einer Mail, die mir heute gestern ins Postfach geflattert ist, liegt eine Nachricht aus meiner Nachbarschaft bei einem Internetportal rum. Eine Nachricht für mich? Aus meiner Nachbarschaft? War der Weg bis zu meiner Tür oder dem Briefkasten zu weit? Oder ist das die neue Zustellmethode der Post, um einen Alternativplan für die Streikzeiten zu [...]

My “new” car is in the shop quite often these days. There is a small problem with the engine not running smoothly and they can’t figure out what it is (did already cost me quite a sum). That reminded me, that there’s a new car I want to have (not as badly as a 1969 [...]

I wonder if I should generate some ICRA labels for some of my sites. For example for the nude images in my gallery or some (maybe upcoming) (minor) explicit entrys in the blog.
(Just a little reminder enty for myself.)
Site update
Okay, I started a template from the scratch. Now the structure is good now and the layout looks about the same in all current browsers. Still sucks, though. But I’ll leave it with that for now. Fresh layout as soon as it hits me.
>>View full entryHello world!
Okay, here we are again. I started another blog. The fourth one that’s for personal stuff. Well, kinda. I figured I should merge my blogs into one, making it easier to manage, bringing more frequent posts and who knows what. So you can expect all kinds of stuff, in all kinds of languages. Yes, I [...]
