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, [...]

Abzocke in der Nachbarschaft

On April 3rd, 2008 19:22 • In Uncategorized • By Oliver

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 [...]

Lauch oder Porree? Schornstein oder Kamin? Reicht’s oder langt’s jetzt? Wo ist der zu gewinnende Blumentopf geläufig? Und wie nennt man eigentlich das Stofftuch zum Naseputzen in anderen Teilen unseres Sprachraums?
Diese und weitere Fragen klären die Erhebungen im Atlas zur deutschen Alltagssprache (AdA) von den Germanistikern der Uni Augsburg. Hochinteressant.

Well, I wasn’t punctual for the solar calender, but at least I just manage it for the lunisolar calender. Or in other words, happy new year… in China. Welcome Year of the Yang Earth Rat.

Another train of thoughts… I really need to re-learn the comma rules in English. Damn, that annoys me every time I write an entry. Time to dig out some grammar sites.

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.

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 [...]
