I just found a nice page comparing various coding styles and programming languages to art styles: Codekunst. Unfortunately, the page is in german, but since most of my readers (hello you 3 out there) are german native speakers anyways… have fun!
I just recieved a funny spam mail…
I had heard of them, but up to now I could not believe it. They even use a gmail address themselves…
As mentioned earlier, I promised to post if BetaMax offers another Voip client. Here goes: VoipDiscount. The client even comes in a pretty blue. Can anyone give me a hint why they are doing this?
I finished installing and configuring Flyakite OS X and now I like the look of it. I added Yahoo! Widgets (formerly Konfabulator) and TopDesk (Task switching like in OS X or in Longhorn) and now you can’t distinguish my laptop from a PowerBook at first glance. I will post some screenshots if anyone is interested…
Some other news just flew in: If you use WordPress (like I do) you probably want to upgrade to the new 2.0.2 version (security fixes…).
On Saturday I will go to Hannover to visit the Cebit. I’ll try to make some nice photos. Looking at the price I would have to pay to get there, I decided against it. Perhaps in 2 Years, I will get paid to go there 
who knows…
The promised bugfix-update of the Windows to OSX Mod FlyakiteOSX – Modify . Simplify . Aquafy has now been released. Finally I can try it again! Report will follow once I got everything installed…
I just recieved news that there is again a new provider around: Internetcalls. Well, not an entirely new provider. VoIPStunt, VoIPBuster and Internetcalls are all a “service by Betamax” and use the same client, only with different color schemes and different countries to phone free to. I’m beginning to wonder if they are somewhat untrustworthy. I had paid VoIPBuster 1 Euro and recieved a free call-in number as well as a unlimited time to call free to certain countries. All was fine, except suddenly calls to Germany weren’t free anymore. And also suddenly, the minimum amount to pay to subscribe was raised to 10 Euro. It looks like the “free calls to Germany” thingy is just a teaser…
I’ll keep you informed if more of these clones pop up.
Just a short heads-up for anyone who is reading this and not the newsgroup in Hagenberg or the IRC channel:
There is a serious bug in some of the older versions of Miranda and Trillian, which can cause problems recieving and sending messages. Please check the following links to the fixes: Miranda and Trillian (simply check for updates or reinstall).
All linux clients seem unaffected by this…
Finally I don’t have to work today, I only have to spend some time with my books to prepare for an exam on 23rd. So I uploaded some pictures of Heidelberg and the castle-tour Elke and I took when she was here. I miss her.
I also found a nice “scientifically sound” paper about determining the length of a cat’s tongue. Read it, you won’t believe how long they are! (And yes, it’s funny too!)
I just klicked together a panorama picture of Heidelberg using autostitch (windows). This nice little program is surprisingly easy to use, you don’t have to align anything, just specify the pictures.
Unfortunately, we have no snow here…
GangMan wrote a nice article about the new version of Wordpress, so I upgraded my blog too. The (few) new features worked at once (I never activated the Tiger Administration, because the new Admin interface does “it” for me). Thanks for the lazy gallery fix to nos, ff0 and GangMan!
