handy dandy!
after submitting a comment spam to the MT-Blacklist, i stopped by at jayallens blog, and found an interesting link. bopuc proposes a way to view all the comments on your blog as a rss feed, spruced up with all the relevant links to despam and edit the comment and info of the commenter. here are the directions: go to your MT-HQ and make a new template. call it something you remember and insert a filename for it (e.g. something.xml) paste the code below into the text field.
funny link of today
this slideshow here is especially for my sister. you know why :-) anyone other than my sister might not think it’s funny. sorry. [via boingboing]
SubEthaEdit 2.0
SubEthaEdit made the jump to version 2.0. As fsck-log notes, even if you don’t need it, it has to be on every mac, one of the most amazing pieces of software, and extremely fast and helpful for writing down stuff (even simultaneously together and alike). oh, and after looking at the screenshots, i’ll even use SubEthaEdit to code that occasional latex-file i write… [via mactechnews.de]
my new precious
it’s here. it’s amazing. it’s mine. nuff said!
picture of the week
yesterday, urs, simu and me went to winterthur, because the guys from staffel x made an alleycat. this is what it looks like if you cram three guys with their bikes and baggage in a twingo: oh, and by the way, i’ve won that alleycat. pity for me that i didn’t go to the last alleycat in basel, because there i could have won a bikeframe, this time the winner got a cap (not even from the staffel x, but from veloexpress) and a beer (and i don’t like beer, so i could change that to a bottle of coke) :-(
folding your t-shirt [update]
this is amazing! i had to watch that movie (1.4mb .wmv) at least five times to get it. but from now on i’ll fold all my t-shirts that way, my mom will be jealous, if i show that to her. i’m gonna be the faster t-shirt-folder than her :-) [via boingboing] update: for those of you, who rely on more standard-respecting video files, urs points out to a mpeg-file of the same video
grand prix
last weekend i ran the grand prix of bern. i’m not really a big runner, nonetheless i managed to run the ten most beautiful miles on earth in a time of 1h, 9min and 27 seconds. not too bad for that my training consisted of going for a run three times prior to the race :-) if you want to see how i’ve been doing after those 16.023 km, then you can click here and see my finish (courtesy of finisherclip.de). i’m the guy in the pale blue shirt on the left finishing just seconds after the guy in the yellow tank-top and black shirt finishes. (and i love the woman shouting: “super schampu” afterwards :-)
suicmc04.ch
during the first weekend of next october the Suisse Cycle Messenger Championships 04 will take place here in bern. if you want to take a sneak-peak at the website of the SUICMC04, then you might want to click here. everything is up and running, just “hidden” from the general public until all quirks are sorted out. yesterday, michel and abu spent the whole day designing and putting the page online, and i spent a part of the morning with abu to design and implement the registration-database. everything is live now, so if you want to register yourself on a messenger-event, then you can do it now, i’ll flush the MYSQL-db before the site goes online for real.
funny link
since i’ve keep posting only small blurbs tonight, i’ll try to stick to it: just listen to that story here (2.0mb mp3-file, only in german). it’s a sad but true story which is not that great that it deserves a link, but the guy reading that story has the absolute evil laugh. max mailed me that file nearly three weeks ago, and already complained that i did not blog it here :-) he saw it in the djforum where some other guy actually made a song out of the schlumpf-story (1.6mb mp3-file). both hilarious!
vektorika
piece blogged vektorika quite some time ago. tonight i finally had time to look at all the issues that appeared up to now. all the issues are chock-full vectorized graphic-design, feature work from many different artists, are just simply brilliant and downloadable for free!
