???
if you guess right on what i’m working at the moment, then i pay you a beer next time i see you: ps; and now i go to the cafe kairo update: ah, well then! (this should be a link to habi.bild.li, but the upload did not work, i wrote chris about it…) explanation: it had much too much people there and i could just listen to michu slamming, then had a drink with renzo and came home.
apple really rocks!
hello windows! (itunes for windows too) say hello! (record stuff with you ipod) cheese! (transfer a lololot of pictures to your ipod)
panorama
do you remember that I’m on the search for a good panorama stitching software for the mac? well, it seems like i’ve found the tools for the trade. the well known panotools from helmut dersch are some excellent freeware-plugins for adobe photoshop. as i do not own a legal copy of this monster-piece of software i was on the lookout for more. PTMac by Kekus is a front-end to those scripts, which helped me to make this image in something like 3 minutes (after emailing the author(s) of the software because i couldn’t get a panorama out (–> do not optimize on a partial panorama…): nonetheless the software has a price-tag of 50$ so i’ll still need the 13 days left on my trial period to decide if it’s worth it. but it seem like, because you can generate panoramas of all flavors (spherical, cylindrical, etc.) and export it to all kinds of files (quicktimeVR, .jpg, some bizarre java-viewer formats and so on..)
20 vs. 90 minutes
from next week on: and i already feel lonely. explanation: nina has to finish her studies (pharmaceutics) in either zurich, basel or geneva and she chose zurich for obvius reasons (the ETH in zurich is very renowned). i stay here in bern for the moment. so we stop living 20 minutes apart, which makes me kinda sad.
blogspam
well, amir shure loves my blog: he posted 5 comments on all my last entries and wants to sell me some viagrainfo; well gfy amir! (listen to fword.wav on that site, it’s really funny!)
good and bad news
the good news: my bike is back! after that it has spent a day somewhere, Mr. Wuthrich called at work this morning and told michel, that he found my bike in front of his shop. so it seems, that somebody managed to open the lock on my bike, drive from my place to mr. wuthrichs coke machine and left it there. what a twerp, stealing a bike for less than 5 minutes. but hey, i cannot complain, it’s back and in mint condition, nothing happened to my baby :-)
stolen bike!
somebody stole my bike! it left it over the night locked in front of my house and this afternoon i came home and it wasn’t there anymore. both of my flatmate haven’t seen it, so i presume someone stole it. it’s a black FORT-frame, with a trailer-coupling on the left side of the back wheel, has two dents in the top-tube of the frame, and has a quite a big “Velokurier 333 05 05” sign attached to the frame. if you see someone with that bike and it’s not me, punch him/her heavily in the guts and call me (+41 76 330 17 96)! if you find it, then you get at least an invitation to the cinema or something like this, so keep your eyes open!
tattoos
if you share an interest in tattos (if you’re a bit curious, then you might have found out, that I AM tattoed and got some piercings, too :-) then the skin-project looks really interesting, not only from the tatoo-point of view, but from a really artistic idea. i’ve been thinking about getting a second tattoo since a long time (i’ve drawn a design pretty soon after i got my first one, in Sydney, one day before my 21st birthday, a bit more than 6 years ago.) and this might drown the desire to get that sund on the back for a moment….

alleycat in lausanne
i just returned from a very cool alleycat in lausanne. normally an alleycat is about 30km “go as fast as you can”. Blaize from velocite made that one different: there were 6 pickup places around the place de l’europe in lausanne (which were in a diameter of maybe 400m). at the start you got a list that was maybe 1-4-5-2, so you had not only to drive fast, but also think hard on how to go and pick up the “parcels” (which consisted of rubber stamps), then when you finished that list, you got another one, then another one, and so on until you finished seven lists. and guess who finished first of all twelve messengers that were there and got that nice t-shirt that Blaize made himself? me.
