(massive) redesign of this blog
because i had no plans for tonight (except burning 25 cd’s with the oberwald-hitparade) i started to fiddle around with the design of the blog and now it looks quite different. it was the first time i actually looked at my css-file (the original one came with my installation of MT, the final one is now released under my cc-license) and started to fiddle around with it. i was quite surprised that it’s so easy to change the design of the page completely!
new pictures
the pictures of my last week in oberwald are online in the pictures-section. it’s quite a bunch of pictures, because i wanted to get a picture of nearly everyone of the class online. enjoy them and have a nice saturday, i’ll be here for the afternoon (it’s an exhibition in the old people’s home where my grand-mother lives) update: the sensorium was really nice. even if don’t have a grand-mother that lives in the ruttihubelbad it’s worth a visit (especially on a bad-weather-day). you can learn how to cast colorful shadows and do much more interesting stuff with all your senses!
commenter and comment time in the sidebar
using b.’s code he wrote for my itunes-trackback-thingie i prettied up the comment stuff a bit. (i hope the code he sucked out of his brain is “freeware” :-) now you see who and when posted the last comment. i like it, do you? anyway, here’s the full code for your abuse: i really hope berni does not mind if i post his code here. just to make it clear: my only achievement are the last lines between and the rest is fully credited to the code-master b.
two quick panoramas
these are two panoramas (both qtvr)i made last week, both of ’em just little dirty hacks, because i did not use a tripod, just free-hand photography: on top of the longer of the two ski-lift, an amazing view over the whole obergoms (916kb .mov). the whole group at the start of the race we made on the last day(sibe on the far left and bjorn on the far right) (308kb .mov)
a lot of skiing
well, here i am again, after quite a bunch of skiing a whole week on the hungerberg with the class i mentioned below. it was absolutely amazing, on wednesday we had fresh snowfall and we were able to ski in knee-deep powder (some pics might come soon) a exhausting day with sigi in nendaz/verbier which was amazing and fulfilled with lots of off-pist skiing in an amazingly big ski-resort. and another day on the bettmeralp with my parents, which was really nice, in total a week and a half with the most beautiful weather one can imagine (yes, a day with heavy snowfall is beautiful weather if you’re skiing!) now i come home and the weather is blah like in deep november. i think i’ll go skiing soon :-)
i'm away!
i’m gonna be in oberwald for the whole next week, a teacher-friend of my sister is in charge of a skiweek with her pupils. she an her boyfriend, my sister, her boyfriend, sigi and me are gonna try to tame 21 14-year-old pupils. so expect no update here (maybe a small one here or here), because i’ll be offline (although i take my ibook with me for some funny project). have a nice week and behave!
the green machine
if i ever got kids, they are getting the green machine from huffy bikes to rule their neighbourhood. you have to check out the flash-tour of the green machine, it makes me want to be smaller than i am, so i would be able to ride that beast :-) [via max] the paper-version
that was a hot party!
i was invited to a filmpremiere of a friend (he drove to istanbul and back and made a short movie about his travel) and while chatting at the bar i felt that warm tingly feeling that says: your jumper is burning! look what it looks like, when you stand at the bar and your jumper is too near to some candles…
4 pics
a really annoying and pointless ad-campaign, which is plastered all over here in bern. does anyone know what “gerebelt” means? (cooking at work today…) does anyone know other good moblogging sites besides bild.li (where my moblog is now), phlog or moblg? i’m looking for one where you can upload cheap (e.g email) and style your page as you want. phlog is my main candidate right now. leave a comment if you know a better one!
comments hitparade
well, after arni posted some code1 i tried to implement the comment-hitparade i mentioned earlier: i works nearly like a charm, the only problem is, that my top commenter never left an email-address, so he appears as “empty"2 i really start to get the hang of all these movabletype plugins, a nearly endless resources of things you can do with your blog (i just want to start to use that blogtimes-thing. (b., this is a hint!)
