Resume

I’ve been quite occupied with university work this week, and I remembered my Todo-List from last monday. If I’m scrolling over it, I definately had a Skype-Chat (and not a Skype-Call) with Philippe and Olivier about the translation, enjoyed a longer discussion with Robert about the potential of the new World of Warcraft blog at […]

Mentos: Freaky TV Spot

I don’t know why I post this here, but this TV Spot by Mentos is very crazy. I don’t know what drove the guys in the marketing team, and I can’t decide if it’s good or bad, but the few seconds are worth watching the spot. But in the end, it’s much better than those […]

Fight the Dosenfleisch

Das BSI – Bundesamt für Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik ist eines meiner mittlerweile gern gelesenen Online-Lektüren in Fragen zur „e-Security“, insbesondere deswegen, weil ich immer wieder unter den angehenden Jungmanagern im Studium ein nicht ausreichendes und manchmal vollkommen fehlendes Grundverständnis für den Umgang mit den digitalen Medien feststelle. Themen wie Sicherheit, Dokumentenschutz, Vertraulichkeit, Umgang mit […]

RSS/Atom modification for Blogspirit’s feeds

While reading my own articles for correction via my RSS reader, I noticed that the extended posts weren’t displayed in the feed and no link hinted at the remaining content. I modified the RSS Syndication and Atom Templates to replace the original content, and I hope it’s not going to unleash an additional load to […]

The paper receives 200 stories a day from these volunteers. Much of the professional staff time is spent on editing and fact checking these […]

Use BBC-Content for free?

There’s a small note on BBC’s Backstage about using BBC content for free within your own applications, websites, blogs or feeds. I’m not sure what it is all about and how I might benefit from their content, but it’s worth some thought. backstage.bbc.co.uk is the BBC’s new developer network, providing content feeds for anyone to […]

Nico’s „How to Blog“-Compendium

There’s an interesting compendium on Nico Lumma’s blog Lummaland where he describes his basic ideas on how to maintain a blog. I have the nerve to copy his work to translate it into english. I believe it’s quite a valuable resource especially for those who are at the beginning of blogging. The more you get to used to blogging, the easier it is for you to get comfortable with the usual netiquette.

„Google Mail“ known as german G-Mail

Quite a nice tidbit to know that the german version of Google’s G-Mail has now been re-named into „Google Mail“. Background to this kind of change is a ligitation in german law relating to the use of names. The phrase „G-Mail“ is obtained as reserved name by Daniel Giersch (Giersch-Mail) prior to the introduction of […]

Laptop Trouble

I was fed up with my laptop earlier today due to some problems with my battery pack, but apparently I haven’t had the plug connected as the hardware required. This caused me to loose control over about approximately 50 of 120 PoEdit entries which haven’t been saved yet! As I can tell, there’s a lot […]

Lecture Cancelled

I wondered already two weeks ago about one of my lectors in International Human Resource Management. It’s quite normal to have an influenca or a simple illness… Dear students, due to my illness tomorrows lecture (29.04.05) is cancelled. Unfortunately I cannot speak, due to an acute inflammation of my tonsils. We will review the material […]
