UFO is the institut at technical university graz where I am working since more than 2 years. Yesterday (friday) and today (saturday) the 25-years-ufo-“party” took place. All the “old” assistants came together in Graz. All of them are quite important people in big companies like Roland Berger, Mobilkom, Porsche USA, Steweag-Steg, AVL, Magna-Steyr, Kearney and […]

Now I was very creative and created a new 404-page ;o)

I am considering to change my writings from english to german in my weblog. But I am not sure whether I should. Any pros and cons?

I am at home again since one hour past midnight. Chemnitzer LinuxTag was really great and together with Thorsten and Jimmy it was fun :-). I’ll write a (german) report in the next few days. Mails, newsgroups, university, work and projects are calling for me ;-) Update: The (german) CLT2004-Report is online: http://www.michael-prokop.at/sonstiges/clt-2004-report.txt 2nd Update: […]

CLT 2004 is going to start tomorrow. Today I will go to a “Ausstands-Feier” (some special kind of party ;)) and tommorow we (Jimmy, Thorsten and me) will drive to Chemnitz by car early in the morning. So I should prepare my baggage now :)

Today I am really tired. Yesterday I went to bed at around 2 o’clock because of Security Treff Graz. First of all I felt asleep in a very boring softskills-lecture at university, profile-migration on the windows-box (from local to serverside) at work was really ###censored###. The only ray of hope was the lecturer of “control […]

Ok, maybe you noticed (anyone reading this blog out there? ;-)) that I changed the layout of the blog a little bit. Well, I removed the TrackBack and PingBack stuff a few days ago, today I (again) changed some CSS-stuff – hope it looks ok for you :-). Ok, now I have to study… for […]

[mika@bufo: ~/Source]% uptime 12:02AM up 12 days, 9:51, 1 user, load averages: 0.14, 0.08, 0.03 [mika@bufo: ~/Source]% Still running and I tried to compile some small c-programs for the university-lecture “datastructures and algorithms” on the BSD-box – worked of course ;-). What was curious and new for me is the fact that I had to […]

I wrote down my opion on orkut: http://michael-prokop.at/orkut/. Yes, I really (at least till now) like orkut.

I wrote down my opinion on blogs: http://michael-prokop.at/blog/comment.html

I have created some communities on orkut (at.linux, klagenfurt, Lugg, pekwm) and invited some friends. My profile is becoming bigger and bigger (and orkut has some load-problems )”The requested URL could not be retrieved. Please try back in a few minutes.” ;-))). Tim Pritlove wrote some words about orkut. I think orkut has some potential […]

Today I got my DVDs “Super Drumming Vol.1”, “Pat Metheny Group – Speaking of now live”, “GPG All-Star Live From the Record Plant” and the CD-ROM “Dave Grusin – Presents GRP All-Star Big Band LIVE!”. Man, really great :)

Yes, I also have an orkut-account (username: mikap) because Sven Guckes invited me to join. Hm, don’t know wheter it is really useful – let’s check out.

I was kind of offline for the last few days and it was really recovering :). I went for skiing at Nassfeld for one day (33 Euro – puh), weather was great (except the storm at midday which seems to have caused a cold – grml!) and it was fun! But being offline does not […]

Dave Shea created (based on some stats) a list of the relevant browsers in the year 2004: http://www.mezzoblue.com/archives/2004/02/02/browser_supp/

Jimmy im ICQ: Mist, mydoom hat SCO lahmgelegt, aber nicht MS :-( Gut, daß ich mydoom doch entfernt habe. Als ich hörte, daß er DoS gegen MS fahren soll hab ich mich gleich gefragt, wo ich den mydoom runterladen kann ;-)

I made 25 slides for my using the power of google”-lecture on GLT04 with prosper (a LaTeX class for writing transparencies). I discovered prosper-make while writing a Makefile for transformation of my slides to html, prosper-make works like a charm! I improved my LaTeX-skills while writing mika.sty ;) for setting my own footers within the […]

Yepp, I know I did not keep my blog up2date in the last day – sorry but had (and still have) to to a lot of stuff. First of all a lot to do at work (different stuff), organization for Grazer LinuxTage 2004 and university also requests some time ;)
