Yesterday was the hottest day of the week and some friends and I decided to drive to the Ruhr See. A nice artificial lake near Aachen.
The tour was pretty nice and the weather was sweet.

There was fancy lighting in the clouds later that evening and I just had to ban it on film. You can not see the flashes directly but the colour-change in the sky over the city of Woffelsbach. Pictures after the click ...

Da wacht man auf und auf allen 3 Bildschirmen zeigt firefox nur noch den freundlichen Verbindungsfehler.
Natürlich erstmal die Hardware gecheckt, aber da sitzt alles ... hmm

Erstmal in die Bib lernen (zum Glück wohne ich in einem Studentenwonheim direkt an der FH)! Und dort ging auch das Netz.
Da wir an der FH hängen musste das Problem bei uns liegen.

Und wer wars? Klar! Die Bauarbeiter.
Aber die konnten diesmal garnichts dafür, da die Kabel im Versorgungsschacht ungeschützt verlegt wurden. Beim Abbruch der Decke haben die Trümmer dann die Kabel gekappt und weil es LWL Kabel sind war der Spaß groß.

Ever wondered how your name is distributed on the web? Well, I did not but it looks pretty cool.
I really wonder what all the Arne Ricks are doing on the web ...

I have a new laptop running Ubuntu 9.04 and I'm quite happy.
It runs smooth and even the compiz features worked out of the box! Together with the Gnome Screenlets you get a very effective desktop.

But since I'm studying civil engineering I need CAD and other programs that won't run in wine or consume a lot performance.
So I decided to try Windows 7. But before installing you want to back up your MBR because Windows will very likely override it with its own boot manager.

Probably the easiest way works with dd. Just check for the harddisk containing the MBR ...

Right now I'm looking at a whale. In actual size! This flash animation resizes automatically to the browserwindow.

A nice documentation about so called Earthships which are basicilly houses build of garbage. The nice thing is that they need very little power because sunlight is used to heat water and rain is stored in large tanks.

Did you dreamed of building your own atomic bomb while your parents hiding in a bunker in the 1940th?
In fact, I did not. Because I wasn't born yet but if you want to keep up with your childhood dreams this would have been your chance! For only  US $4,150.00.
Really cheap in comparison with the original price of $49.50 ($379.92 in 2005 US dollars).

Remarkable design piece. I can imagine travelling the world on these three tires ... and then you begin to wonder if it's really practical!?
But who cares!
