Happy New Year 2011

Nils — Thu, 30 Dec 2010 07:37:34 +0000

Hello everybody – I quickly wanted to wish you all a good start into 2011. As always I wish you that the next year won’t be as crappy as the one we’re chasing out with all that firework.

View of the Alps

Nils — Thu, 01 May 2008 17:47:39 +0000

It turns out you can actually see the alps from my apartment… sort of:

I hadn’t noticed this before. As you can see it’s just a little gap in between the buildings, but hey, it’s still kind of nice.

I live somewhere in there.

On the road to FAIL

My first contribution to the “FAIL”-Meme:

I seriously can’t say how he managed to fail to figure out there’s train tracks at a train station. . Not the best “Fail” picture ever, but hey, it’s a start. Besides… I am bored.

NachsendeauftrÃ¤ge bei der Deutschen Post kosten jetzt etwas Ã¼ber 15 Euro. Grossartig.

Geeks and Nerds are worthy of consideration by women – courtesy of the Best of Craigslist.

Pupils distressed by Potter reading

Nils — Thu, 09 Aug 2007 08:36:50 +0000

The BBC reports:

>A headteacher caused some distress by reading to about 400 children from the last page of the final Harry Potter book at a primary school in Somerset.
>
>One pupil at St John’s School in Midsomer Norton is reported to have covered his ears after headteacher Carolyn Banfield began the reading.

Another generation of losers in the making.

Not Credible

President Bush Jr. calling for a [restart of mid-east peace talks](http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/6901666.stm) is about as credible as I would be advocating the use of Windows Server and IIS.

Layout Followup

Nils — Sun, 08 Jul 2007 18:20:21 +0000

As you can see I have been working on my [layout](/2007/06/10/layout/) a bit. I’m not done yet, for example the comments really need work too, but I think it’s an improvement already. The theme is fluid, but has a maximum width so that the lines do not get too drawn out. It also uses widgets in the sidebars and in the footer.

Please let me know if there are any bugs, especially with obscure browsers such as Safari or Opera.
