folgendes stöckchen wurde mir von rage zugeworfen:

1. wieviel gigantische bytes an musik sind auf meinem computer?

10.06 gb verteilt auf 2387 songs.

knapp die hälfte davon findet auf meinem ipod platz.

viel elektronik, viel handgemachtes, altes und neues und dazu noch ein grosser schuss schweizer musik.

viel musik ist noch auf den silberscheiben aufm gestell und nicht in einsen und nullen auf meiner festplatte. wenn ich mir in naher zukunft einen neuen ipod kaufe, muss ich mal eine rip-session einlegen. zum glück hat mein neuer powermac zwei optische laufwerke…

1. die letzte cd, die du gekauft hast, ist?

vorgestern, beide zusammen: tank von den asian dub foundation gielen und 25.07.03 vom stress.

beide im chop.

beide erst kurz angehört.

3. welches lied hast du gerade gehört, als dich der ruf ereilte?

weiss ich nimmer, hab den referer der das stöckchenwerfen enthüllt hat letzte woche mal angeguckt.

bis dann hatt ich rage noch gar nicht im newsreader drin.

momentan läuft grad hey! von viel von den fantastischen vier.

4. fünf lieder, die dir viel bedeuten oder die du oft hörst:

ohni titel von yedi.

das schönste und funkigste dialekt-liebeslied.

club soda von thomas bangalter.

groovigster electro-track ever. und nicht nur weil ich ihn von der vanity9-dvd kenne (da wo die mädels in den knappen kleidchen tanzen…)

see breeze von talvin singh.

tablas. meditativ. und trotzdem schön schnell.

sitting on the dock of the bay von popa chubby.

tief im herzen bin ich der blueser par excellence.

weak become heroes von the streets.

geiler piano-hook. und mike skinner hat ziemlich was zu erzählen, dem hör ich gerne zu.

schlussendlich möcht ich mich aber nicht auf 20% sülze 60% elektronik und 20% blues festlegen. ich hör nämlich viel mehr…

5. wem wirfst du den stock zu?

piece, auch weil/obwohl er immer so viel über musik erzählt.

sis’ musikgeschmack nimmt mich auch wunder.

was hört der urs eigentlich?

qu’est qu’on ecoute a l’autre part dü röschtigraben?

hat monorom schon? (ps: bei ihr sind urs und piece auf einem bild..)

puh, das waren jetzt einige links zum zusammensuchen.

since nina also started to use skype i thought i’d might give it another go.

so if you feel the desperate urge to call me, you can do it and call me via this button [1]:

(but be aware: since i bought a powerpc i don’t have a built in microphone, i need to go and buy one, so you might want to wait a day or two…)

[1]: button via the excellent button maker.

update: something with my soundcard is b0rked. the mic works really well (tested with flatmates peecee). but i just cannot get any sound out of it. the microphone gain is on maximum.

can anyone suggest some help?

update2: after buying a bluetooth headset and a new bluetooth dongle (both used and from ricardo.ch), i switched to bluetooth-skype, so everything should work, give it a go…

i desperately need to loosen my cheeks! because when i tried, my image did turn out far less funny than christians. but nonetheless i uploaded it to that site, so others can have a laugh just like i did…

send in your pictures, so others can have a laugh, too!

today i had a funny conversation with my own personal smarter child. i read about it in the latest wired and must say it’s really fun. just add Smarterchild to your AIM-buddylist (or ichat) or add 35000 on your ICQ (doesn’t matter for me, because i use fire).

at the moment the information for international users is a bit sparse, ’cause in the US you can get movie listings and stuff like that. nonetheless i was able to get a review of the movie i’m going to see tonight (“can you get me a review of ray?”). the smartypant also reminds you of different stuff (“remind me to go offline” “when?” “in 30 minutes”).

you really should give it a go, because it’s hard to describe…

oh, and i really got a kick out of todays dilbert.

i’m in the process of moving all my data from my ibook to my new g4 (it’s not new, i bought it used, but it’s new for me…). does anyone of you kind readers out there have an idea on how to do that smooth and seamless? i tried ccc, but that didn’t work really good, cause some os-extensions behave different on g3s and g4s… what files and directories do i need to transfer (with the excellent dropcopy for example…)?

i’ve got 50 gmail invites left to spare.

this makes me think that gmail is going to be open for everyone soon, since people around me are getting a truckload of invites. you won’t get an invite if you leave a comment here (they’re closed on this post), instead just head over to isnoops gmail invite spooler. over there you might be able to score one of the 105589 invites left at the moment. i just submitted all my invites there…

i wish i’d live in paris, because then i’d play tetris or pong or breakout or pacman on the national library all night long…

this person took My Little Book About God and remixed the images with his own creepy captions to make some kind of creepy howto for alien world invasion. the picture on the left is one of the 20 pages of the remixed book and it sent shivers down my spine. take a look at all the pages, it’s well worth it!

ps: i really love the amazon-lookup feature built into ecto, makes linking to books amazingly easy…

this day seems to be musical: the kleptones have released another mashup album: From Detroit To J.A. i haven’t had time to listen to all the tracks up to now, but if it’s only half as brilliant as A Night At The Hip-Hopera, then it’s mighty good. the mixalbum is only available as torrent. either as one big mp3 with cue file or as individual mp3s (83.3mb).

finally i’ve been able to hack together a panorama of the pool we’ve been swimming in in gensingen. if you click on the image on the left you should be able to open the 432kb-file and see how the pool looked from left to right. mind the bad quality of the panorama, but it was shot without tripod and a whimsy camera.
