what we do at noon
yesterday - the last workday in 2005 - kude [1] made lunch for us. the perfect messenger-lunch with lots of carbohydrates (bread) and fat (cheeeeeese). fondue [2]. here are some impressions: the table getting ready - simu cooking andi readying the fondue, dewi having some wine - reto and simu digesting hamme, nicola, andi - nicola finishing off, andi and hamme watching. [1] actually his name is simu: see him in action here and hear his messenger-song here (4mb swiss german gola-tribute .mp3). the song was the gift we/he made to our customers last year.
best. blond. joke. ever. [2nd update]
i seldom post jokes here, but this blonde joke just made me ROTFLOL. it really did. i know, i have a kinda crooked humor, or maybe i just need to go to bed. [via :elbewerk] **update: **stefan (elbewerk) posted a followup: now the spiegel online (one of the bigger german newsmagazines) picked up the joke, too. even funnier :-) 2nd update: the joke propagated quite a bit now: see here for a rather thorough investigation with a node graph (or full 136kb .png-file here) of the link sphere. i’m node 91, btw.

*.blogug.ch is working
after some heated debates about opml-files and licensing problems (which i’ve not taken part in) there’s a new open swiss weblog directory, where every blogging person should add their feed. as far as i understand it, it’s supposed to become a complete repository of all swiss feeds, where people then can build services with it (aggregators and other tools). jan has a short rundown, chregu has a more thorough post, also explaining the ping-service. i’ve added a blogug.ch-button to my sidebar (it used to be sub.scribe.to for some days…) and time will tell if it’s gonna kick in…
santas on bikes
santas on bikes look who i just met on the way back home: two santas on bikes. (and i thought there’s just one of them…)

the war of the worlds as comic
the war of the worlds ecomic has been loitering around in my netnewswire-tabs [1] for some months now. every now and then, the darkhorse-team has been releasing a few new pages of their adaptation of the novel by h. g. wells. if you also dig comics a lot, then you might give it a go. [1] there’s some other stuff waiting, too: technorati tags: comic, ecomic, tag
filewile auf bkanal.ch
dejot and andi/dustbowl [1] werden auf bkanal.ch interwiut. wenn du wissen willst, woher die jungs kommen und was sie nebst filewile momentan am laufen haben - sie haben soeben wankdorf recordings gegrundet - dann schau dir das ~30 minutige inti auf bkanal.ch/filewile an (s brucht e fetti leitig, gau…). lustig fand ich, als bei etwa 27 minuten doch noch andis lieblingswort auftauchte :-)… [1] dejot im jaggli, andi im tshi.

google earth for os x
yesterday i read on fscklog.com, that there’s a leaked version of google earth for os x in the wild. and today the uaw posted a link to macupdate.com, where you can download an unofficial beta release of the program. it works nicely on my mac, but your mileage may vary, and keep in mind that this is not an official release, so it might contain stuff you don’t want, i’ve warned you… it worked for me, but may not for you. the faint of heart just wait ’till google officially releases it.
q-unit in da house!
q-unit is in da house. q-unit greatest hits-album is a rather nice mashup album combining 50-Cent and the greatest hits from Queen with tracks like “This is How We Bite the Dust,” “Bohemian Wanksta” and “We Will Rock You in Da Club”. you can grab it - while it lasts - on q-unit.net or via this bittorrent-file.

chillin' messengers
sometimes at noon we need to take a break. this might look like this, when you just simply crash out on the sofa: (gosi) or it might look like this, when you need a hug from their [1] siegfried&roy-tiger: (me and splint) [1] we share our headquarters with theirs…
