i went to a brunch at julias place yesterday. she has a really nice backyard with a big bunch of flowers. those in the image below were well past their expiry date, but nice nonetheless. do you know their name? leave a comment.

i just finished the gp in a time of 1:11:21. i know i’ll have to stay in bed tomorrow, ’cause i’ve not been training very properly (i went for a 45′ run twice – not a week, but literally twice since the last gp) and am gonna have so sore muscles that i won’t be able to leave my bed. now i’m off for a massage.
in case you need something a bit funny to get you over the lazy saturday afternoon, you can watch those ringtone dancer movies over at contagiousmedia.org (you might want to turn off the sound if you’re at work…).
if you’re really brave, you can download the ringtone (484kb .mp3) and dance yourself!

Ippei released the beta version of HuginOSX (16.4mb .zip-file) with a lot of improvements and some stuff that is mac-specific (i.e. better than on the other hugin-versions). the good panorama solution got better!

mac put a bunch of pictures from spain online on the divecenter-page. if you want to see them, go to dck.ch click on Fotos in the Navigation Bar and then on the “Hier gehts zu den Fotos”-Link under Auffahrt on Spanien (or click here if you want to see just the images without the dck-context.)
like boingboing noted, star wars III is already online if albeit in a time-coded and watermarked version. if you want to see it, then click here :-) (or maybe that was another link…)

i’ve always said, that i’m not a gamer, but if katamari damacy is really gonna be released as a mobile version, then i’m never ever gonna lay down my phone or buy a psp (which i might do anyway)…

in about two weeks we the swiss vote for or against schengen. the right wing politicians started a scare monger-campaing featuring comics-styled ads. i haven’t voted yet, but am making sure i do in the next few days. all of my – swiss – readers, don’t remember to cast your vote and write yes what you want on the little slip of paper.

update: after having a talk with anja and a tiny email-conversation with piece i’m gonna think over my vote again.
read some more on votez.ch, woz.ch and on comedia.ch

until the 26th of july you can go to mixed-tape.com and grab the free songs that are provided for you. if i guessed right, you should be able to download the 15 tracks (101mb) behind this link, if not, then you have to click yourself through the flash-interface. (just remember to turn off your pop-up-blocker or nothing will happen)

if you haven’t seen them alredy, you might want to step over to the pictures section, to see the 62 most watch-worthy pictures i took last weekend. some are underwater, but most of them didn’t turn out that good, mostly ’cause the water was hazy.

i’ve been diving this weekend, and christened my underwater-case for my digital camera. turns out that it’s quite hard to take good pictures in the Mediterranean in may. i’m sorting through all the pictures, but at a first glance i liked the one below quite good.
it’s sigi at about 16m below surface exiting the cave at the dive-site tres covas. looks like a thing from outer space.

i gave matthias (gutfeldt.ch or blog.ch) and stephan (stefanbucher.net) both my pro-accounts i got from flickr. so you might want to add those two streams to your watchlist.
now i have to resume packing, a task i really do not like. i only like the stuff that comes afterwards; holidays.
i really forgot how i found that page, but, postsecret.blogspot.com is really daunting and impressive. people are invited to “mail-in their secrets anonymously on one side of a homemade postcard”. i just added the feed to my newsreader, so i’m not gonna miss any secrets ever again….
ps: piece, you’re gonna like this secret :-)
ps: after reading most of them, i thought this secret is the creepiest of all of ’em.

oh, and if you’re wondering why my tags are not working (e.g see the tag:emmen, which i pinged some days ago): technorati has some problems accessing my site:

after getting in touch with adriaan he found out that the problem is not ecto-based, but more on the technorati site.
technorati-support wrote something like:
maybe he has some kind of referrer blocker or User-Agent blocker that is hosing the spider and curl
i just love it, when i have no idea what could be b0rked. i guess i misconfigured something with my .htacces-file that helps me with my image-leechers and serves them this image. i hope b. is able to figure out what went wrong…
i’ll keep you updated.
have you ever thought that you need to start a blog, but you don’t have access to a server (or friends who can spare some place)? then you should check out freeflux.net, which just opened some days ago. check out the entry page to see the important things. the most important is on top: it’s free :-)
and the other goodies are: based on the bitflux cms, open source, highly tweakable and supposedly fun.
