8 years ago
8 years ago this week, Microsoft launched the war between the browsers (was there any other than netscape back then) with the release of the first version of the Internet Explorer. guess who won the war? but there are still some fighters left (at least on windows-platforms) mozilla, also with its firebird opera netscape (does this still count?) on os x microsoft stopped the development of IE, because they had to admit, that apple has a more advanced product: safari (mostly because they knew how to tie it into the OS :-)
streetparade
i’m really happy i stayed at home and didn’t go to the streetparade, and went for a swim instead :-) i was actually looking for a pic of the pair wich was in the sonntagszeitung today (page 6 for those who have it at hand), but couldn’t find it online, so i finally made a pic of the newspaper with my digicam. the guy with the adilettens is abso-f***ing-lutely funny!!! (i had a little conversation with jacky in the eichholz today, that adiletten are a no-go out of showers, wardrobes and toilets…)
NZZ-Folio
the editorial of the august NZZ Folio is an absolutely wonderful piece of imagination. i wish i had ideas like this… the article is in german, so beware you english-readers.
guerillia tactics is the right way!
i’ve just seen the new alien ant farm-video on viva: these days. (alien ant farm are known for a punked up version of michael jacksons smooth criminal). it’s extremely cool. those guys hijacked the audience on the “Black Entertainment”-Awards, amazing all the people there (lil kim, 50 cent, snoop dogg, etc. etc.). they performed their new single on the rooftop of a house across the entrance to the BET. they managed to play their song three times before the police made it to the roof and arrested all of them. the quality of the video is not extremely good, but i really like the anarchistic idea behind it, to not care about anything to make a funny video -> guerillia style :-)
tip of the week
tomorrow night filewile.com are performing live at the dampfzentrale here in bern. their performance is part of the book release of the new book by büro destruct BURO DESTRUCT BOOK VOLUME II. btw: the font used on radiohead’s kid a album is from the BD-guys. UPDATE: The decoration at the Dampfzentrale was absolutely amazing, the filewile-performance was great –> a good party!
HABinvasion
how nice! now everyday i step out of my house, i see myself cheating :-) The campaign for Swiss Meat which i modeled started again. As Berni pointed out, i’m a vegetarian (strict since about four years, loose one since longer time), but i look like a happy meat eater on these pictures. So if you see one of these ads, then you know that it’s just an ad and not a true situation :-)
tonights project
room clearance status: successful <tr >
Test
Azure-test one two **Update: ** this was a test i made with Berni to see if Azure works. Because we found out that none of the versions of Blogplanet worked…. Today B. also bought the T610 wich led to a one-hour fire-conversation about themes, bluetooth, midi-files, and mms-settings :-) –> Ubergeeks unite!
chinese anyone?
if you’re able to speak chinese, check out this page, ‘cause i would like to know what that guy is talking about. i’d love to know the reason he links to my moblog (the last link in the second paragraph). :-)
panorama software
does someone of my fellow blog readers know a good panorama stitching software for OS X? i’m currently using LM Stitch, which is a software which just keeps working in demo mode (as opposed to the Stitcher EZ from Realviz which refuses to work after 30 days). But the problem with LM Stitch is that the UI is really awkward and not very useable. Any suggestions are more than welcome. I would really like to use the Pano-Tools, but Adobe Photoshop is just too much for my wallet!
