Locked Outside!
I pulled this out of my old school composition book. Typed fresh and posting here, I don’t know if anyone is going to like this or not. What does it feel like to be locked away from home? No transportations, nowhere to go; only one you can blame is yourself. It doesn�t feel that bad after trying everyway to get back, now I could get mad at myself and consider the rest of the day as a bad day, or I could just make the best out of what I have. So, I have decided to write journals and walk around my neighborhood. I still remember the good-old-days; when I used to come out here in the same playground and ride my bike and play around with the other kids. It seems like events from yesterday. Anyway, I have lived in this neighborhood for a good six years now. Behind my house, there is an elementary school: IPS school 105. Soon after I decided to come to the playground, which is about 200 feet away from my house. I found myself in the playground sitting and observing kids playing kickball. It was amusing to me to picture myself being a kid again and what it�s like to be a kid again. But, I rather observe nowadays than actually participate. Although, I wouldn�t mind partake in, but I love to observe people. I find it quite time passing event. Sometimes, I want to figure out why certain people do certain things also what goes through certain people�s mind. Through observing their behaviors in an anonymous way, I can find out a lot about certain people.

snow
sigi… your phd sounds cool… (no pun intended) and speaking of snow I’m reading a really cool book at the moment called “high risk” (i think, not got the book handy… doh!) and it’s about avalanches and Everest… really enjoyable page turner… Speaking of PhD’s snap.. I’m also doing one… total opposites… mines in astronautics… and in the sunny climes of Southampton, England… Be good have fun… DJ ::… tbc …::
nina haberthürs first blogging
My Name is Nina, actually Anina (which is a palindrome ;-) I am the sillylittlesis of Habi. Here I am trying to do what my freaky brother Habi does most of his spare time…He is an addict!!! Unfortunately, I couldn’t find any stupid pictures of habis and my Childhood to put here. But, I don’t think I would have been able to place them here anyway… Have fun, Nina
journey to ETH in Zürich
well then, let’s start that free blogging. first time blogging, but still i will not be able to blog like no tomorrow, because i have to go to the eth zürich in two hours. there i have to meet my professor and present him what i have done the last few month. for those who don’t know me, i am doing a PhD on fracture mechanics of snow at the slf in davos. sounds funny, huh… and i am habis preferred DDC partner (at least i hope so, habi. see pictures of last summers DDC playing on this site). during the last weeks i have done a lot of fracture experiments on snow beams because we would like to find out how fractures propagate in snow and how finally an avalanche is triggered. that included a lot of work in our cold labs (-15�C, brrrr). but still there was (and is) some spare time for skiing….:-) i wish you all a nice friday and i’m curious to see all your entries this evening. (and maybe habi can manage, that the pictures i sent him by email will also show up on this page. so that you can see what kind of “funny” stuff i have to present today).

MT-Blacklist
i was not absolutely happy with MT-Blacklist up to now, because i still get some comment from day to day. but today i looked at my blog’ activity log (if you run MT: /yourblog/mt.cgi?__mode=view_log ) and was quite astounded that my MT-Blacklist actually stops at least two spammers per day (!!!) from promoting their shabby site on my blog (and upping their ante in the google-page-ranks (as discussed by b.)) now i just updated my blacklist with the master-blacklist and am happy that jay allen protects me from the scum on the intaweb!
viruses and trojans are coming
in the current weltwoche* there’s an article about hackers and coders which was not too bad (although a bit pop-science). i really had to laugh about the worm that Philet0ast3r programmed: sounds really funny, makes me want to run that on a windows-machine and watching those two, while not being able to stop laughing hysterically. really! note1: do those two programs talk in one window or is it in two windows? you see, the article was not very in-depth about the specifics of programming or so, just an enjoyable read.
never ever a flat tire again? (not really)
engadget pointed out this device installed on a bike. the pump in the hub prevent you from ever having a flat tire again. the problem is, that the tire is not actually refilled when punctured by driving into a splinter, sherds or just too fast over an edge (resulting in a snakebite) but it designed to prevent the tire getting flat from the “normal” air loss. hence you only need to bike approximately 3 miles a month and don’t have to bother that your bike has too low air-pressure, sparing you an excuse.
