Movable Curriculum

It’s quite disgusting to notice many lecturers are changing the curriculum in a last minute rush. The grading process for Desarollo Regional 3 and Marketing 1 becomes more and more confusing. In order to modify the content for the final tests and final assignments, certain information and issues were introduced in the last two weeks. […]

Google as Domain Registrar

We’ve been made for suffering – Google’s power increases since the company announced its own role in the registration process for Domainnames. Google became a proud member of the ICANN’s registrars who may offer the registration for com, .net, .org, .biz., info, .name and .pro domains. Another episode of the continued reign of Google terror […]

Surprisingly, the number of attending students is much higher than in the previous lessons – it’s the last time for this semester to participate in this class.

I’m on 180 and cooking!

As I just figured while checking my statistics, this is entry number 180. I’m sitting relaxed and chilled on the couch next to my girlfriend.

Positively, the support staff of Blogspirit reacted to my previous support tickets and suggestions, and I expect a new version of this service to appear very soon. I wonder how the new version will merge with the current version as it might compromise any self made HTML modifications – like in my own blog. As […]

RSS Questionaire

Siegried Hirsch recently created a small questionaire concerning the topic of site syndication with RSS. As I wish to contribute to this questionaire, I suggest you will answer the questions on your own – either within his article (in german) or in my blog – where I translated the questions into english. The information provided […]

Blogging with Tags

I suggest the programming department of Blogspirit might want to take a look at these scripts to implement some functionality for this service provider to implement the feature to create a connective network consisting of Technorati.com’s tags.

Tutition Fees in Germany

Yesterday, the Federal Constitutional Court of Germany adjucated against a governmental interdiction to disallow Germany’s states the introduction of tutition fees.

Google Video

Another venture for Google – the Google Video Search (beta) enables the user to search the recent (US) TV channels. The company introduced the new tool this tuesday. Since December 2004 the software indexed the program of e.g. PBS, NBA, Fox News, and C-SPAN. As result, the user will be prompted with a screenshot and […]
