Was man so alles beim Herunterladen von Content Management Systemen angeboten bekommt:

Chili Harvest Started

Monday, November 19th, 2007

Today I cut down the first two of my chili plants, the result:

The DVD is there for size reference.
The orange chilies on the left are “Criolla Sella”, the red ones I don’t know for sure. Both are quite spicy, the red a little more in my opinion.
My approximation is that this is about 1/4 to […]

state of the server

Monday, November 12th, 2007

The server downtime did not work out as planned. Some people might have noticed.
First, there were some complications while installing the “new” hardware. That would not have been too bad, but the board did not boot after everything was installed.
So I had to put in the old board again. Instead of a dual-PII-300 with 1GB […]

It’s Over!

Friday, October 12th, 2007

I just got the news: I passed my final exam for my Bachelor of Science in Information- and Communication Technology. So soon, I will be entitled to call myself “B.Sc.”.
The first applications for jobs went out already, so I hope I can start applying all that theoretical stuff soon

I’m still alive.

Thursday, October 4th, 2007

The last entry here is nearly one year old and many will wonder if I am still alive - if anybody still visits this blog at all that is.
The answer is: Yes, I am alive. I had my final written exam on tuesday and now I can start to catch up with things.
Stay tuned.

Fly away…

After every wedding, there should be… a honeymoon.
So don’t expect me to respond to any messages within the next 3+ weeks.

Internship Finished - Normal Craze Beginning Again

Thursday, February 23rd, 2006

Some oof you might have noticed that I was very inactive the past months. THat was due to an internship I had to do for University. And honestly, I had no ambitions to switch on my own computer in the evening after working the whole day at one.
But it was fun and I learned a […]

Upgrade Done

Saturday, January 14th, 2006

After nearly 12 hours of downtime, mainly because of some mishaps with MySQL, this blog is back online.
I not only upgraded to WordPress2, but also moved to MySQL 4.1. So far everything runs fine - although still with the old theme here on the blog side - but I won’t have time to fix that […]

Upgrade Ahead

Monday, January 9th, 2006

Some of you might know already: WordPress 2 has been released.

Because I run WordPress on several sites - and some of them more “critical” than this blog - I will use it as “guinea pig” for WordPress 2.
So this blog might be offline for some days in case anything breaks…

There and back again

Tuesday, November 1st, 2005

After all the exams I had, my fiancée and I went to my birthplace, Dresden, for a few days and visited my father who works there.
Although we did not plan it, it happened to be the weekend where the “Frauenkirche” was consecrated over 60 years after its destruction by Anglo-American bombers. We did not go […]

Vacation!!!!!11111111

Friday, August 5th, 2005

I will be on vacation, and therefore offline for the next week or so.
So in case you have something terribly important to discuss with me (like offering me Cialis or Viagra), I suggest you do it in the next 24h or be patient.

Hell has frozen over

Thursday, June 9th, 2005

Last monday (2005-06-06), hell was already cooled down significantly by the release of Debian Sarge, so Steve Jobs took advantage of that and made it freeze over completely and irreversibly by announcing that Apple is going to switch to the Intel architecture.

Lucky we that GNU Hurd wasn’t released that day, too - otherwise hell […]
