funky flash game
since jan seems to like silly games, i got one for him here: tontie, some kind of whack-a-mole, but with a twist, which you’ll find out while playing [via iforgotitdontblameme]
how not to win a race
raph[1] posted a funny movie over at velocites blog: how not to win a race (.wmv-plugin necessary). rather bad luck. [1] he returned from basel as the fastest european messenger. and rachel and nicola from bern also are european champions, rachel was the fastest woman on track and nicola is the best bunny-hopper. congratulations from me!
thoughts after a busy week
driving a fixie with a huge backpack (clothes for week and some more stuff) through downtown basel and zürich is not so fun going to the ecmc and not competing is only half the fun you need a valid passport or id to go to sweden (not me, mine is perfectly valid), but you can organize a passport in 30 minutes sleeping on a boat is fun sweden has the biggest indoor swimming pools i’ve ever seen
picture of the week 32
like i’ve said before, i’ve been to the ECMC in basel the weekend before the past one. i managed to shoot quite a bunch of good pics (which i’ll upload later on), but i particularly like that one, of our rookie chrigu taking a spiffy turn. way to go! technorati tags: ecmc, ecmc2005, messenger
The competition pool
The competition pool Wow, 10 50m-lanes. And the warmup-pool has 14 25m-lanes, quite a huge venue…
i'm off for a week (to some european championships)
i’m leaving for two european championships soon: saturday i’ll be in basel at the ECMC2005 and then on sunday i’ll leave to sweden for the 10th European Masters Championship 2005 in Swimming, Diving and Open Water Swimming in Stockholm. we’re gonna stay on this ship for a week and swim some meters in this pool. so don’t expect any updates here [1] and please do behave with comment spam and stuff like that. whish you a happy week and take care.
new ipod is here
i guess it’s gonna take some time until the music and the pictures are on it, so i’m off to watch the simpsons now. technorati tags: ipod
apple rebate coupon code [update]
i finally ordered an ipod from apple (jan, don’t flame me, please :-). now apple sent me a rebate coupon code which i can redeem for my next purchase at the apple store. it’s 45 bucks off a purchase of 449 or more CHF. since i don’t plan to use it (it expires at the 15. september) i put it up for grabs here. are you interested? then leave a comment and i’ll gladly pass it over to you.
hardcoded blogroll
i was annoyed that my sidebar loaded extremely slow. now i finally found some time to fix this. i hardcoded the blogroll[1] into the template, so there are no external files loaded anymore. i used blogrolling.com for that service, so it was a bit of a chore to get that data off their site. i exported my blogroll into an opml-file. then i opened that file in my favorite text-editor, subethaedit and “search & replace"d until i could just paste the resulting code into my template. so now you have a much spiffier sidebar on my blog (if you visit it and don’t just pull the posts via rss…)
kinder eggs are a scam!
past saturday i went to the migros to buy some stuff for my weekend. and just because we had acute chocolate craving, nina and me bought two kinder eggs at the checkout. when i opened mine back home, i was quite stunned that there was a little car in it (which is not really stunning per se). the car was a smart forfour which consisted of four parts, so it was not even a challenge to put the thing together. since when do they put advertisement into chocolate?
