Someone at Microsoft must have had a bad day for publishing content without approval. Fortunately, the web has its own regulations and such news can be digged up quite fast. mehr...

The Neighboring Girl

29. August 2005
Since last weekend, I have the most perfect view on the recent moments of intimacy at the other side of the street. While looking out of the windows in our office, I noticed a change of behavior of my (indirect) neighbors. I’m not going to write a psychological analysis, but just what I saw. The window of the empty appartment was usually filled with a few bottles. Some lad was constantly sitting in the room next to the empty one – he was always occupied with gaming and whatever else he had to do. He is a smoker and turns up on the balcony above the street a few times the day. mehr...

Commenter Police

29. August 2005
The recent SEO case is basically the reason for introducing the comment policy here on the MikeSchnoor.com. The question is – who creates comments that may disturb others resulting in a) a law suit and b) the installation of counter-measures for your own blog’s protection? mehr...

Wahl-O-Mat

29. August 2005
The upcoming elections in Germany appear to be quite a festival of political stubbornness and illogical reasoning by each party. But this time the politicians don’t play a major factor. The Wahl-O-Mat (in German) offers all citizens the opportunity to check their conformity with the major parties BÜNDNIS 90/DIE GRÜNEN, CDU/CSU, DIE LINKE.PDS, FDP and SPD. mehr...

Is it just me or the feistiness of Germany’s telecommunication backbones? I’m unable to reach pagead2.googlesyndication.com and receive a timeout error. mehr...

Its a small note, but one I’ve enjoyed reading this morning. All those who participate in the Weblog-phenomenon have perhaps understood that blogs are the alternative to the mainstream media. David Gibbons summarize his thoughts on why the blogstream beats the mainstream: mehr...

Push and Pull: The Blog Herald

28. August 2005
This is amazing. Not that I haven’t expected it, but we’re mentioned on today’s pick for the 100 blogs in 100 days campaign by the Blog Herald. I already love the discussion in the comments on the post, because the commenters were mostly striked by yesterday’s article about introducing a comment policy for the MikeSchnoor.com. Usually, a comment policy is part of any major blog (just google along), and since Germanic law has some tight restrictions on provinding and maintaining a website (or blog) by applying the idea of “you must identify yourself”, the idea of informing your readers is much better than receiving a plaint from some commenter who has been removed or edited. mehr...

Die letzte Woche…

28. August 2005
…war ehrlich gesagt einfach nicht das, was ich mir versprochen habe. So dümpelt man zwischen der Realität eines dicken Bauches und der Manie des Abnehmeffektes von sagenhaften 3.8 Kilo in 2 Wochen – und das ohne etwas von Sport oder anderem gehört zu haben. Ich jedenfalls, so behaupte ich es mal, bin schon stolz darauf, meine 100.5 Kilo ankündigen zu dürfen. Ich bin weit über dem Ziel, was ich mir mit Katharina gesetzt habe. Jedoch findet alle Euphorie ein schnelles Ende, wenn man sich vor Augen führt, dass alles gegen einen spielt. Wenn der JoJo-Effekt einsetzt, sieht alles ganz anders aus. Jedoch bewundere ich die Essensreduktion… ;) mehr...
