Geeks have feelings too

As I was clicking through Windows Vista recently, this mega feature really thrilled me:

last.fm is now able to forecast the future and it's calculating the stats ahead. Obviously they are currently improving this feature, because some days ago the forecast was only for one day, that's why I thought it was just a missing timezone query. But with a difference of two days (current state of development) it's clear, that this is a feature and not a bug.

...why have I jilt that album for so long?

Ok, one more time... *startingCDforthethirdtimeinseries*

I activated the second phase of the “spam guard” für my blog here, because the first one was only successful at the beginning. This time the Bot doesn't have to “set a checkbox”, it has to choose the right value from a list. I'm curious about the result of this experiment.

For the next step I'm planing a text-CAPTCHA. Maybe I'll experiment a lil'bit with the amount of options in the selectbox. We'll see...

For the case I (or everyone else) need(s) again the formula for converting geodata, that are noted in sexagesimalnotation DMS and should be converted into decimalnotation, that's it:

degrees + ( minutes * 1/60 ) + ( secondes * 1/3600 )

M: Oh, Tea?
P: Offtopic?
(insert some endless silence here)
P: Oh, Tee!

P: What's the name of the windows dog?
M: Hm... Don't know. Wizard

It looks, that my first Spam-Defense-Idea only worked for a short time. I think I'll spent some time next week, with realisizing a second step. Please note, if you are reading here something about porn or strange pharmaceutical stuff, it's just spam that I haven't deleted yet.

That's sooooooooooo cute. I'm choked up........

They wrote Internet wrong, it's with “ether” at the beginning. anonym

Sometimes I think it's kind of funny, when computers are named after their ownerns. It's a little bit strange when your typing some commands in the terminal:

host michael
mount.smbfs //angelique/activities /mnt/friends
dig julia
telnet dave
whois alice
ping john
wget http://joe/borrowed_dvd
scp my_best_poem.txt cecilia:/home/cecilia

The short version for my english readers:

Found in ChipX86's photostream, there are bigger versions of this image, too.

Now I'm back online in my “new” flat!

Don't know what to do first... Okay, let's start with an emerge --sync.
