for those of you who are interested in how i sometimes spend my saturdays, then you might want to see the bunch of pictures i just posted from the swimming competition in emmen. but keep in mind, they’re not for you, but for the kids that competed, so it’s a bit medaille-heavy. technorati tags: emmen, swimming

picture of the week 16
this wednesday i went to luzern, to spend a day reading comics and stare onto hundreds of panels from different comic authors. i went to luzern quite early, so i could visit the offices of swissconnect and the velokurier luzern. the picture below shows the bridge going from the trainstation to the offices of sc and vkl. that silly guy just didn’t want to go away. what a pity.
flickr is upping the ante - giveaway
today i got an email from the flickr-team: in the aftermath of yahoo buying flickr the guys and gals are able to provide more stuff for all the users: 20 mb upload limit for all free users for all pro users (like me), e.g. those who paid for an extended account: an extension to two years, so i get double the bang for my bucks and 2 invites for a pro account to give away. this leads me to a little contest: i’m donating those two accounts to you, yes you. but because i (occasionally) get more than two readers, you have to fight :-)

this blog is now gravatar enabled
to make posting comments a little bit more rewarding i implemented gravatars on this blog. two days ago i commented on an entry over at urs’ blog and some fancy image turned up next to my comment. i’ve seen that already turning up on different blogs (e.g. moblg.uk and blog.ch). the code with which i implemented it is shown below for your abuse and modification. <$MTCommentBody$>

cory doctorows latest short story [2nd update]
cory doctorow (of boingboing-fame) released a short story called i, robot. since i like reading stuff on my clie while on the train or so i made a palm-doc file of the story. if you’d like to read the story on your palm, then you can get it here: cory doctorow - i, robot.pdb (49 kb) for converting the file i used PorDiBle, a nifty palm-doc conversion tool, which is absolutely fabulous to convert any text or rtf-file to a compressed .pdb file. this (and the adobe reader for palm os) helps me to read any file i want on my clie.
pixmix
Aus akutellem und bernbezogenem anlass in deutsch: nächsten mittwoch abend findet pixmix vol III[1] in der dampfzentrale statt. der urs (bzw. der luchs), gosi und splint machen da eine kleine, sicherlich sehr lustige geschichte, nämlich ein tag im leben eines prototypen des postmodernen proletariats: der fahrrad-eilbote. das heisst, der urs wird eine 7minütige geschichte in 20 bildern erzählen die splint fotografiert hat und auf denen gosi zu sehen ist. so cool wie der flyer rüberkommt, muss das ja gut werden. wenn du links auf das bild klickts, kannst du den flyer in seiner ganzen grösse und herrlichkeit runterladen.
