Happy birthday to my blog. One year of blogging is 250 postings (~0.68/day) and 127 comments by 39 different nicknames. The most commented posting was grml (6 comments). Most comments (besides myself ;-)) have been written by mp (16 comments) and ak (15 comments). Quoting ak writing about his blog’s birthday: “(mostly) useless information that […]

I’m at home in Klagenfurt for the weekend. I haven’t been here for about one and a half month because I had too much to do. I’m enjoying these days a lot because it’s not everyday’s life. In the mornings I’m working on grml. In the afternoons I’m playing with my brothers. They have Windows […]

Yesterday evening I had lunch with John “maddogâ€� Hall. Today I’ll meet many other nice guys at OS04 too. Hurray!

No, I’m not dead. I’ve had a high load in the last few days, especially because of the upcoming grml-release 0.1. The todo list was quite long and most of it has been done now. Just some annoying bugs are left and I’ll try to fix them till monday (then the CD for OS04 will […]

Martin started showing his wallpaper in his blog, AK, Niko and Thomas already replied so it’s time for me. My current wallpaper isn’t very spectacular but I like it. It’s the grml-wallpaper created by Wolfgang Scheicher and me. Of course it’s included in the grml-release. When I’m searching for new eye candies I usually take […]

Fans of the Simpsons might have noticed already that Season 4 DVD-Collection (amazon.de) is available. But I have to rant: the epsiode running on PRO7 in the afternoon today was bad, really bad. It was ‘The Regina Monologues (#EABF17 / SI-1417)’ of season fifteen and the episode was pure nonsense. Nothing compared to the funny […]

Wenn ein Schizophrener mit Selbstmord droht – ist das dann eine Geiselnahme? English version: If a schizophrenic person threatens with suicide – is this a hostage-taking? — my brother Alex while watching the Gilmore Girls

Do you know how every monday morning should start? Read “Lustiges Taschenbuch” and find a story where Donald wins against Dagobert. :-)

My load is quite high. I’m working for OS04 (Open Source Event on 22th of october in Graz) and therefor miss the Gilmore Girls in the afternoon (*grml*). I should study for an exam and grml takes the rest of my time. And of course I should prepare my slides for my lecture on grml […]

Yesterday I’ve been at my dentist in Klagenfurt. Now I’ve one tooth less and I’m feeling really bad. The procedure of removing the tooth itself was “ok” (not recovery but fast and no real pains) but afterwards it was horrible. Abdominal pain, ague (Schüttelfrost), headache, sore throat,… Being back to Graz I even didn’t want […]

My wisdom teeth are growing since months. It seems that I don’t have such a bigbeautiful mouth such as Julia Roberts. So some teeth are hurting now. :-( Because I still don’t know a reliable dentist in Graz I think I’ll have a one-day trip to my familiy and my dentist to Klagenfurt next week. […]

Oh man, I’ve been soooo angry. After being at a meeting at the end of the world Graz my bicycle had no air in one of it’s wheel (aka “I hob an Platten”). Damn. I went to a friend of mine (living behind the end of the world ;-)) to get a script for university […]

wordcount.org has an archive of the most frequently used english words. Look at some words I was searching for (1st: rank, 2nd: word): 1073 michael (hey, I’m the winner) 8-) 1169 windows (d’oh) 3474 apple (next to wanting) 3822 opera (next to alarm) 3952 shell (next to climb and humour) 7172 mac (next to moor) […]

Yesterday our cat Rubeo had great action fun. A bird lost it’s way and was jailed in our flat. My girlfriend and I heard strange noises in the living room and when we went there we found Rubeo fighting with a bird. Rubeo lost the bird and the sparrow flew in my working room. Our […]

I wanted to know which (rss)readers people use for reading my blog. I created some stats based on logs from 26 july to 20th of august: RSS-Reader | Counts ======================================== “blogg.de-Crawler” | 8 “BlogPulse | 123 “centericq/4.10.0” | 16408 “centericq/4.10.1” | 4962 “centericq/4.11.0” | 495 “centericq/4.9.10” | 4308 “centericq/4.9.12” | 18436 “Feedreader” | 27055 “Feedster […]

While being in city yesterday afternoon I went to the IMO best bookshop in Klagenfurt called ‘Heyn’. There I again met my “old schoolfriend” Michael and his girlfriend (I have been in city because I met them and another friend before the unofficial meeting at Heyn ;-)). Michael isn’t a computer geek and I too […]

At the weekend I recorded Rubeo and Petzi with the digital videocam of my father. About 1,5 hours of video – resulting in ~16 GiB capturing-data. I don’t have that much free space on my laptop so I had to work on the windows computer of my brother. In the semiprofessional area of movie-editing it’s […]

My girlfriend wants to buy a mp3-player. Of course I’m the one who evaluates which one she should buy. I didn’t have any experience with that stuff (I’m proud owner of a minidisc-player since many years) so I posted to the TUG-newsgroup tu-graz.hardware and got great feedback. The requirements are: * linux compatible * good […]

In November 2003 I was inspired by Andi Krennmair (AK) to do some blogging. At that time AK used b2 so I also installed b2. b2 was ok but a few month later it began to suck. First of all development ended due to it was published as a merge of b2 and cafelog under […]

Second week of IPICS04 has been done too. Monday (26th of July): Bart Preneel (Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium) was giving “An introduction to cryptology, Part II” in 5 units. Main topics were MAC, PKI and GSM-security. Herbert Leitold (Secure Information Technology Center, Austria) was talking about ‘Electronic voting in Europe’ and it’s main problems. Afterswards […]
