yesterday i’ve been diving again. yes, diving in the cold thuner-see , the water was around 5°C. we’ve again been at the schönörtli (german for nice place).
because i wore a dry suit [1] i was only nearly freezing my ass off (more the hands than the ass, ‘cause i was wearing wet gloves). the dive was really spectacular, the sight underwater was amazing, much better than in the summer. and it’s really fun to dive with a dry suit, you feel like stuck in a balloon and can shift the air in thta balloon depending on the position you have. the picture below shows raymond and beat during their dive, having a break at the surface. can you see how clear the water is, you’re able to see the stones at the bottom…

i wanted to (digitally) record the ibrahim ferrer show that drs3 aired last thursday evening so the post about enabling your ipod to record anything on hackaday came just right. but after installing linux on my first-generation ipod (see here ) with the extremely painless ipodlinux installer i could not get it to record more than 5 second snippets (but played some games on it…) so i figured out an easier way. i started the live-stream of drs3 and used wiretap 1 to record the concert. nonetheless i’ve now got two working operating systems on my ipod.

i didn’t win that million this saturday, but it was a nice afternoon.
the picture below was taken at the shore of the lake of zurich, near the kongresshaus (oh, how would i love geotagged pictures, but that is a completely different story….).

i’ve not taken a single picture this week. because of this i’m nuzzling in my archive and found the pic below.
it was taken on my vacation in vienna this march. it’s the wall and a chair in a restaurant.

the picture of this week is especially for raph and dom from velocite which seem to be avid readers of my blog :-)
it shows a bunch of messengers at the veloblitz on saturday evening. the veloblitz was one of the first messengers that started in switzerland (among the first ones was the velokurier bern) and they had the fifteenth anniversary this weekend. from left to right you can see raphael feiss from velocite, stefan p. frohlich from flash, randall from flash ans some other messenger. i truly apologize for the bad picture, but the batteries in my camera were so empty that was literally the only picture i took that evening.

today i’ve been in the rope-park with nine (a belated birthday surprise for her). that was quite an amazing and adrenalie-inducing afternoon. but the most amazing thing was that nina is able to smile really charming before abseiling herself 15 meters down a tree.
ps: i know the picture lacks in the sharpness-departement, but i like it anyway… ps2: more pics are on flickr ps3: can you believe it’s only 7 weeks to go until ‘05?

1explanation will follow later. the game was so amazing that it merits an own post. later.
