A few unimportant thoughts on Sunday night


Quote of the evening

“Of course we play an encore.”
 

Klaus Doldinger at tonight’s great (and free) open air concert with Passport in Pfaffenhofen. The nearly 2 hours seemed rather short, somehow…

The best(?) place for a mosquito

Directly on the notebook screen where you can easily see and kill it.

Compact and light but needs getting used to

…is such a EeePC 900 on which I’m writing this now – with < > as secondary function on the Y key (which is on German keyboards where the Z is on Englisch ones) and the number keys moved to the left…

Videos of the Week (2008/29)

Then there’s just about the coolest thing that Phil Plait has ever seen, as he says: The transit of the Moon in front of the Earth, taken by the EPOXI probe (you get other video formats there, too) from a distance of 50 million kilometers (31 million miles):

I shouldn’t listen to any more news today…

…because already since the morning, they always talk about the exciting countdown for publishing the name for Nürnberg’s polar bear baby – and even as first, i.e. alledgedly most important news message. And a few days ago, it was always “it opened its eyes today for the first time, first the left eye, then the right.” Aaargh!

Not that I’d be averse to polar bears or animal babies (or both), or against people who outright love them, but must there be always all that fuss about them??

See the whole kitty on this Russian page (you can change the text size in the select box). If I interpret Altavista’s translation correctly, the title means “for dear friends” and the text “Watch it when you’re sad… remember the best” or something like that.
