Skiing in Obertauern

Tuesday, March 27th, 2007

Elke and I took some days off from work and went on a short trip to Obertauen. Today we had wonderful weather and I took some nice photos, however the crappy internet connection via GPRS would not allow me to upload some. I added them today and will add some more soon.

We found a nice hotel in Untertauern, called “Hotel zur Post“. The room is ok and not too expensive, the food is excellent and the newly renovated main part of the hotel (we are in another building, 150m apart) features a nice wellness-area, with saunas and stuff like that.

We can definitely recommend this hotel, it was very relaxing there. The only difficulty for me is to decide if the wellness area or the excellent food (anyone who knows me knows that I am usually extremely picky) is the main cause for us to return.

Wordpress – Urgent update

Saturday, March 3rd, 2007

A quick shout out to any fellow wordpress users: if you are currently running version 2.1.1, urgently update to 2.1.2. It seems that the previous release was compromised by a hacker.

Great. Paranoia++.
