Alright, I’ve had a few GMail invites for some time now, and obviously, there’s not enough demand at the moment. I’ve tried to give them to friends, relatives and even some work-colleagues, but no luck.

So I’ve decided to see how long it will take google to grab this post and send those desperate souls unlucky enough to not have an invite yet, and ask me for one.

If you are one of those poor souls, leave a comment with your name, email-address and some sad little story of why you so desperately need an account with GMail. Just to make sure it goes quick enough, I’ve linked every single reference to GMail. Damn, I’m either very deperate for people to look at my site, or I’m as stupid as they come. You decide.

I’m dead-tired, I haven’t had a good night of sleep for ages, but still, I’m solely devoted to you, dear reader. Consequently, I’ve done what every dutiful webmaster has to do at some point, I redesigned the goddamned site. Frames are gone, as well as the plants – for now. Maybe, tomorrow or so, I’ll work again on some eye-candy, and some little things. But overall, the redesign is done, and you can just sit back and enjoy the power of a great blogging software.

Good night.

Well, well, well…it’s really interesting that although this site is linked by not more than five or so pages, when searching for the name “gibarian” on Google, the first site to come up is mine. Now, Gibarian is not a name I invented, but it’s the name of a character invented by Stanislav Lem for the book “Solaris”. (Regard this posting as another book review which actually isn’t a book review, because you should really read that book…and I mean really). And that book has been made into a movie twice, first by Russian director Tarkovsky and by hyped Hollywood weirdo Steven Soderbergh, featuring hot-shot George Clooney.

So, if I follow closely what some people call the laws of logic, in the eyes of Google I’m more interesting than all those people. Isn’t that just terrific? When was the last time you beat George Clooney in a popularity contest?

Unfortunately, that doesn’t save me from going back to work tomorrow. By the way, it’s half time for me. A mere four weeks to go, and I can go back to Vienna to pick up the shards that used to be my studies, and put them back together to remotely resemble something called “effort”.

Update: WAHHHH….dropped down to number three.
