Indian Stuff

That’s what happens when I decide to walk home from uni instead of taking public transportation. I end up buying stuff at an obscure Indian store and price (ha, good one). Click the picture, it has notes!

Success – the story of an error message

There are ways of making error messages seem less catastrophic. Odeo has perfected one. It’s called “It worked, but really, it didn’t”:

By the way, I’ve added voicemail support. So if you’re comfortable with microphones (meaning, if you know how to connect one to a computer), then please don’t hesitate to send me a message. Just click the “Send me an Odeo” button in the “EVEN MORE” sidebar.

On weather (again)

As I’ve made it a habit of writing about the copious amounts of snow we’re having, I’m now going to show you that I can in fact write about sunshine as well. Today was an extremely nice and sunny day, and although my girlfriend did have to coax me into it, in the end I really liked leaving the apartment to enjoy a few those rays.

Due to the proximity, we decided to patronise the Augarten, which in a way we regard as our own, personal park. And although we’ve been living around here for a few years now, we actually discovered a bunch of new stuff. Like that garden of sculptures. Or the restaurant right next to it. Where we had this coffee.

I still can’t get over how perfect that shot came out. Click it and it’ll zoom you right into the gallery of wonders.

Damn, now I really want a pug!

Wibald’s curse

I’ve been trying for the last half hour to print out the article on Wibald of Stablo/Corvey from the online version of the International Encyclopaedia for the Middle Ages. Somehow Firefox suddenly goes bonkers when using the Encyclopedia. I’ve printed out and read dozens of articles from that resource in FF before, and it never posed a problem, but suddenly it does.

I tried it in Opera, and it seemed to work beautifully. Until I clicked on the link to the article on Wibald, that is. It then just crashed.

Now, Wibald, if you’re such a secretive guy and don’t like people reading information on you, you’re too late anyway. I found information on you inside the “Verfasserlexikon” already. You know, that reference book on all you medieval scribes. So, I know that you were basically about letters only, and that most of the business letters you wrote are of no real merit to us historians. No need trying to keep that from me.

So please, I’m now going to attempt to print out that article using Konqueror. Please let me, will ya? I need to get this presentation on you done!
