This error – much too often. And other performance and reachability problems. Not only today, but especially often today.
I’ll move. Away from 1blu. Much too late? Maybe.
*sigh*

Color riddle
What does this mean?
Solution: The RGB values (see comments) of the colored areas correspond to the ASCII codes of the letters of “Kannst du das lesen?” (German for “Can you read this?”; with zero-byte at the end), which Michael has answered correctly.

A baton for the Chrismas tree
A German blog baton…
- 3 (material) wishes for Christmas
– an MP3 player (not from Apple
)
– a big, good digital camera
– a few energy-saving lamps - 3 people I would like to celebrate Christmas with
I’m highlighting the “would” like others before:
– Freddie Mercury †
– my grandparents on my mother’s side †† (but better not at the same time as Freddie) - 3 people that will receive a present from me
– my parents (who already know)
– I won’t name more since they read here, too… - 3 people that should catch this baton
Any non-German-speaker who wants to pick up this translation of mine?
“Lotto prediction” with numerology?
» Click here for all my articles about lotto
Lotto? Again?? Well, thanks to the high jackpot in Germany, that topic is popular – number 1 also in my search request statistics (after my fun post about certain pantiless antics got kicked out of Google’s index [for a few days]). And some enlightenment can’t hurt… in brief:
Lotto numbers cannot be predicted!
More precisely: If your predicted numbers are drawn, that’s just coincidence, because the drawings are random. Those who claim otherwise, please try to prove it…
I came across another specimen of prognoses on miracles.ch (German) – based on “numerology” (Wikipedia article). Or what’s been made to look like it. In addition to horoscope-like spesifications based on date of birth etc. and “lucky numbers” derived from the name you enter (1 for A, 2 for B,… 26 for Z 
), this site with a web design from the last millennium also offers a “lotto number prognosis” for German and Swiss lotto. Quote (my translation, trying to reproduce spelling mistakes ):
The Lotto Miracles Predition, is unique and Fantastic. Here you can have your personal and current lottonumber prognosis according to numerology generated every week and again and again new Miracles Lottonumber prognoses for the next Lotto 6/49 drawings.
Apparently too many “singular cases” for the Telekom…
But isn’t the Telekom or its brand T-Mobile pulling out of cycling sponsoring due to doping a bit late? Seems to me like they’re pulling the emergency brake only after the train had derailed long ago. (Maybe they have to concentrate too much on the iPhone, which they are selling exclusively here in Germany. )
Well, so let’s get on with another new beginning, with a new sponsor here and there, with clean cyclists and still doping cyclists, with new cyclists, old cyclists, new coaches and trainers, old coaches and trainers, new doping methods, old doping methods…
Somehow, I doubt that there have been essential improvements recently and that there will be such improvements soon.
