And St.Nicholas

Here’s what you get when you have good friends (please note the rather unsaintly environment):
St.Nicholas again

And here’s what you get when you’ve got not only one, but two nice co-workers:
St.Nicholas

It’s not all about the whipping after all.

Krampus

Krampus

Today’s the fifth, and if you are like me, you’ve probably forgotten or even never heard of the fact that it’s the official Krampus day. Krampus, yet another one of St.Nicholas’ helpers, traditionally beats up little children who didn’t behave.

Fortunately, even cruel whipping can be turned into fun (apart from the, uh, rather obvious, but wholly unsuitable practice for children), by wrapping it all up in tinfoil.

I got this Krampus pictured above from a co-worker today. Which I hope is merely a gesture of demonstrating my being integrated into the office-society and not an indicator of how much I deserve a whipping.

GMail goes colour

Well, to hell with my separate tech-blog, I need to write about this here:
After releasing a tricked-out new version of GMail only a few weeks ago, the busy GMail team has now introduced a funky new feature called, tellingly, “colored labels”. And well, that’s what it is.

They don’t offer a stunning array of colours, but using just the few, your GMail inbox will never look the same! Well, mine certainly doesn’t. After having looked at it for a few minutes now, I actually think it looks just a tad too fancy. Gone are the days of GMail simplicity. Oh well, I’ll get used to it.
