Bought all presents?

2008-12-29

Found on Dec 27 in a hedge:

weihnachts-einkaufszettel
(Click for large view – well, it’s a list of cheap things: functional turtleneck shirt; baking tray; canned sausage; “rouche”; hand warmer, cherry pit pillow; book – aquarium – coupon – fish)

Hope the paper wasn’t lost before the presents were bought – would be a pity if Isolde who was so looking forward to getting her rouge had not even received some rouche or Steffen starved without his canned sausage. Just wandering if that at the end is a book gift coupon and a fish for an aquarium, or if you need to read it line by line, too. (The last name appears to be Ryan’s last name; which is also why I blurred it.)

Find!

2008-12-10

suchen mit Weitblick None of my replies to my own search queries, but some fooling around with the German top search topics of this year (apparently adjusted such that they don’t include sex etc.) as shown on Spiegel – highlighted in italics and in descending order (and translated):

Google

Auctioned on Ebay, documented on YouTube: The weather at GMX. But Google can’t find the video in the Wikipedia, despite help from Web.de. A case for Bild (the big German tabloid)? Call them! Number’s in the phone book.

Yahoo

What’s the weather like according to the route planner? Guess I’ll send out greeting cards full of erotics to arbitrary addresses from the phone book – my horoscope tells me to, says Wikipedia. Who wants to meet me in the chat in Berlin to buy real estate from me?

MSN

(A lot of community sites here:) On YouTube you sometimes really wonder: Who knows whom on SchülerVZ? Wikipedia offers StudiVZ no replacement for their phone book, and I really can’t tell if the Internet Explorer on Knuddels will let the route planner find the route to the best weather.

Google’s News of the Year

Playing football in the Deutsche Bahn‘s trains isn’t something they like in Berlin, even during the Olympics and despite Mr Obama, and the DAX will not even during Beijing 2008 be able to rise above DSDS standards, despite numerous topmodels at the Euro 2008.

Something’s missing here

2008-10-15

From the shipping confirmation of a German online shop, Friday evening 9:42pm (my translation):

The shipment is transported with the shipment number by DHL.

Starting the next work day, you can query the current status of your shipment with the address given below on the DHL website or at the DHL telephone number 01802 – 30 22 00 (0.06 EUR per call).

Shipment number? Link? Erm… :zuck:

The parcel finally arrived on Tuesday. Apparently the quick Friday night shipping didn’t work after all…
