a warm welcome back :-)
when i came home from the european masters championship i started up my trusty ibook to read the mails which came in through the week. and was quite puzzled :-) 135 mails in one week… after skimming some of them i found out that the vast majority of them were virus-mails (the virus is sobig-f). after follwing one of the hints on osxhints.com (btw. one of the best sites for hints regarding a truly beautiful os) i only had something like 25 real emails in my inbox, which was much more what i thought it would be :-) i didn’t use the mail rule proposed in the hint, which seemed a bit harsh, but followed the last comment to that hint)
European Masters Championship
Next week i will probably not update my blog at all, because i’ll be at the European Masters Championship in Millau, France. I’m quite a keen swimmer and am going to swim some disciplines there (200m Crawl, 100m Crawl, 50m Butterfly and a 5km open water swimming in the Lake Pareloup) So don’t be mad at me if i do not update at all next week, i have no idea if i’ll have internet access at the place we’re staying (maybe this is also a good thing for me so i’ll be able to read and sleep a lot :-)
this is the weirdest thing i've seen in a long time :-)

are flash mobs still cool?
yesterday there was a flash mob here in bern (and i missed it, i thought it’s today, i confused the date…) and today there was a little article in two newspapers (in the BZ and in 20min). b. and me were thinking about “organising” a flash mob some weeks ago. he pointed out a link to me about the first flashmob in manhattan. (actually we talked about it on the 18th of june, because i was just looking up the conversation we had over ICQ…) and it seemed like a really funny thing to do. as berni points out, the flash mob in bern was not a full success, but i think this leaves room for more ideas…
look ma' :-)
how do you like my new dock? a funny little app named skin a dock makes this possible. and it’s even donationware, so double the fun :-) SaD needs the application enhancer from unsanity (go check them out, they have a bunch of cool OS X apps) to run, but it takes care of downloading it, so you only need to download skinadock, the rest is a walkthrough…
a new toy
well this is amazing. i thought - now that i’m a teacher - i need something practical to carry my files from home to school instead of burning them on a cd, emailing them to myself or carrying my ibook to school. so i bought one of these USB-memorysticks with 128mb capacity. today it was in the mail and i have to say i was truly surprised how small this thingy is (good there was a little hand-leash included :-)

fun link
i’m not shure if these guys make fun of themself, but their page is quite useful, if you’re looking for some little experiments for school (which is what i’m doing extensively at the moment :) they also have a little part which is a bit more esoteric…
alleycat in bern
if you see some freaks on bikes driving around bern like mad on friday night, then you know it’s an alleycat1 organised by bene and me :-) so, if you see one of the messengers (sometimes after 10pm) then cheer and shout and watch your back for more reckless drivers! 1 Alleycat: not on a closed course held race in a city, organized by bikemessengers. Usually with several checkpoints and not caring about traffic rules. As far as known, the first alleycats known as such took place in toronto, Canada.
