new mercedes mixed tape online
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)

sunday afternoon
some city-inline-skating.
pictures of escala are online
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.

picture of the week 18
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.

sponsored flickeres.
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.
share your secrets – spy on others [update]
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.
update: probably [via boingboing]

technorati tags
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:
curl -O https://habi.gna.ch/blog/

curl: (23) Failed writing body
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.
freeflux.net opened
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.

windows powered sewing-machine
i’ve been at the bea and seen that windows powered sewing machine. i
wonder if my mother would like to get a bluescreen when she tries to
sew something…
this blog needs more crazy stuff!
i just had a drink with sigi, after we’ve been hurting ourselfs in the frisbeetraining. we had a lot of stuff to talk about, which was really good, we haven’t seen each other in ages. among other things we talked about this blog here and then an image i’ve seen in the current ct sprung to my mind. without further ado: here’s the link.
taucher gesucht!
ich wollt eigentlich mit nina über auffahrt nach spanien tauchen gehen. da sie nun uni/diplomarbeitsweise doch nicht mitkommen kann, ist in der gruppe vom dive center köniz noch ein platz frei: hast du lust, über auffahrt, von mittwoch 4. mai 23.30 bis montag 9. mai abends – mit nach spanien zu kommen um zu tauchen? das ganze kostet inkl. reise und unterkunft 350.- (den rest zum normalpreis übernehm ich…), dazu kommen noch die tauchgänge und das essen. du solltest ein bisschen taucherfahrung haben, d.h. nicht ein anfänger sein (ich hab auch nicht mehr als 40 tauchgänge…) und 5 tage mit coolen und angenehem leuten in spanien verbringen wollen. und wenn ich dich ein bisschen kenne, ist es auch noch lustiger. hinterlass einen kommentar oder schick mir ein mail (adresse links oben im sidebar). evtl. bis bald unter wasser!

the tiger is coming
you might have heard it: apple is releasing tiger, their new flavour of os x. but now mike bombich noted (in this discussion) that the marvellous carbon copy cloner, a tool i use often now and then to back up my data does not work with tiger. the folks over at tuaw.com say it like so: “Consider my pre-Tiger buzz officially killed”.

new pictures are online
for those of you who are interested in how i sometimes spend my saturdays, then you might want to see the bunch of pictures i just posted from the swimming competition in emmen.
but keep in mind, they’re not for you, but for the kids that competed, so it’s a bit medaille-heavy.
test with ecto 2.3
picture of the week 16
this wednesday i went to luzern, to spend a day reading comics and stare onto hundreds of panels from different comic authors.
i went to luzern quite early, so i could visit the offices of swissconnect and the velokurier luzern. the picture below shows the bridge going from the trainstation to the offices of sc and vkl. that silly guy just didn’t want to go away.
what a pity.
flickr is upping the ante – giveaway
today i got an email from the flickr-team: in the aftermath of yahoo buying flickr the guys and gals are able to provide more stuff for all the users:
- 20 mb upload limit for all free users
- for all pro users (like me), e.g. those who paid for an extended account: an extension to two years, so i get double the bang for my bucks and
- 2 invites for a pro account to give away.
this leads me to a little contest: i’m donating those two accounts to you, yes you. but because i (occasionally) get more than two readers, you have to fight :-)
send me a convincing picture or something other that justifies the donation of an account from me to you [1].
[1]: since there’s a bit more involved than with a gmail invite, the hurdles are also a bit higher. i think, for instance, i must know you (least a bit) personally and must think that i could like your pictures…
k700i panorama
hey, my phone can even take panoramas! (so it’s a bit like a metapanorama, if you check out the page i photographed (http://moblog.co.uk/view.php?id=19349)
