Last Shifts

I'm on shift, have poor nutrition and watched someone cleaning the glass-ceiling of the Europapassage today.

i2c to 1-wire bridge

I always wanted to play around with 1wire a little, so I spent the afternoon building first a Parport-to-I2C and then a I2C-to-1WIRE adapter part of which you can see in the picture. It works, but it is s....l....o....w.....! So I think I should have spent 35€ on a Professional USB to 1WIRE interface instead.
Update 29-03-2007: I got the DS9409R today, and honestly it sucks, too.

Where have all the hackers gone...

Cute Overload

Pigeons and Curd

Exciting things happening: I saw a skewed pigeon today. You cannot really see it in the pictures, but in real life it looked funny. Furthermore I'm going to eat strawberries and curd.

In a cave.

Outside with the kids. There's a tiny cave near where we live where I took both photographs.

No Filth!

The Moss-Buffalo is a very tidy animal, especially his keys are always well-groomed.

CS coaching

Who of you is able to teach me the basics of computer science? And with basics, I mean everything from the beginning. And when I say beginning, I mean the absolute basics!
Everything else (salary) we can sort out on the phone.

Refurbishing the university

What do you use to renovate the university? Well, Uniflott of course.

Das Keyboard

Last week, I ordered Das Keyboard from Get Digital. Today the order arrived. Typing feels very nice on that keyboard, although the constant clicking will drive my colleague in the same office nuts! ;-)

My tax euros at work.

The german government tried to persuade its citizens to file their tax declaration electonically by providing a free (as in beer) windows application. It's called Elster, which is german for Magpie, a bird that at least in german folklore, is said to be quite thievish. Now, I installed that application to finally file my 2005 tax returns. And I'm prepared for the worst, because the german government is known for it's phenomenal failure in all its software projects. And my confidence in their incompetence was not disappointed, the dialog box above tells you that they were not able to make the program work without administrative rights. That's especially funny because -at least as a merchant who also can use that program- you are required by law to abide to basic security practices on your computers.

Again, trainstation at night.

After watching this space for a while you will inevitable come to the conclusion that I really like taking photos at our trainstation. Please let me affirm this suspicion with this post.

Playing with the layout.

 I'm trying to put my non-existing CSS skills to use... I hope you like the baby-blue background.

Migrated...

I migrated this blog to new blogger, that's why the link to my friends' blogs are missing. Will be repaired soon.

Hello, Hello, this is Berlin

(you have to crank up the gain to the maximum to hear anything, but it works...)

Snow.

Since last thursday, train station from where I live is less than perfect, at least I can admire the romantic landscape while waiting.
