Mein Problemkind AntiVir

Für mich als Student ist diese Software wunderbar dazu geeignet, die Kosten meines Studiums zu minimieren. Dennoch hat der AntiVirus Dienst AntiVir in letzter Zeit einige Problemchen aufgewiesen. Mit der frei und kostenlos verfügbaren Version treten anscheinend Konnektionsprobleme zu den Downloadservern auf, sobald man das (automatische) Internet-Update startet. Diese auf rein subjektiv gefühlter Ebene aufgetretenen […]

I’ve been „Off Time“

Yes, I’ve kept myself busy otherwise than browsing the web, reading news, reading blogs, reading blog news, and writing about this all in my blogs or in comment fields. Indeed we’ve been enjoying the visit of Katharina’s mother and brother. Carin and Christian stayed here for three days and left us on Monday morning. On […]

Your Online Tracker

The article by „RSS Blogger“ Siegfried Hirsch describes an example of how to use social software to track your own footsteps on the web: Basically, Oliver uses the bookmarking service del.icio.us to maintain the mind map of his comments all over the web. Apparently, most users at del.icio.us serve their database with their bookmarks and […]

Good Morning

Its still dark outside. The bed was warm and comfy. It was! By now its 7.25 a.m. and both of us are ready to run to the city hall in order to hand in some documents. I hate to wake up that early, but Katharina is seemingly enjoying to power up during the night. The […]

Ach ja, da war doch was…

…genau, ein neuer TV Kanal, den keiner braucht, den keiner will: Das Vierte ist da! Anscheinend ist das neue Programm jetzt bei mir auf Sendeplatz 23 zu finden. Genau dort, wo früher der lustige Jugendkanal GIGA zu finden war. Schön, dass wir von den kleinen Computerkid-Pestbeulen befreit sind, die durch spätpubertierende Mutationen versuchten, den Qualitätsstandard […]

YahooMSN: Combined Instant Messenger

The deal is nearly perfect: Yahoo and Microsoft are planning to combine their instant messenger tools Yahoo! Messenger and MSN Messenger to allow their users to communicate with those from the opposing messenger tool. Sounds like quite the thrill against Trillian and other merger tools. However, the entire conversion of both networks is scheduled to […]

Was zum Lachen: McDrive

Wieso, weshalb, warum? Wer nicht fragt, bleibt dumm. Jeder kennt es, das Knistern aus den Lautsprechern am Drive-In Schalter. Heute das Beispiel: McDonalds‘ McDrive! Hahaha was haben wir gelacht! ;) [via Basicthinking, SkyKat]

Bar in Light

On the weekend, Jonas and I managed to buy the ressources to carpenter the halogen lights which give light to our bottle parade. It is so amazing ;)

Top Ten Web Design Mistakes of 2005

According to Dimension2K and Dr.Web, the update to our „Top Ten Web Design Mistakes of 2005“ have been published by Jakob Nielsen. I’m d’accord with Evil.Bert since some of Jakob’s Design Mistakes are not necessarily a real mistake, but sometimes a wanted necessity. ;)

Backup your VoIP Calls: HotRecorder

I heard about HotRecorder thanks to Robert’s post. Basically, you may record Skype and Google Talk conversations and save them to a file. Perhaps that’s an interesting add-on to create new PodCasts? Certainly, the tool HotRecorder is able to do this, however they seemingly allow this only for users of the premium version: Due to […]
