last tuesday i was in zürich to visit nina (and for a job-interview, which did turn out to be not that kind of phd i’d like to do).
this was the view over the limmat towards the technopark around half past six:
finally!
now it’s official: the new map.search.ch is live and online.
b.abou and the other coding guys at search.ch released their new baby into the wild, and i suppose it’s ready to survive and thrive there, because it really is good.
since some weeks i’ve been testing and using it a lot at work to find all those funny addresses where our customers are (and sometimes telling the others: then after the house with the red roof you turn right).
map.search.ch is surprisingly fast and amazing to use. drag the map around to see what comes around the edge and the map data is loaded as it’s needed. is the map too big? just resize your browser-window and the map is resized accordingly.
the whole map is composed of aerial photos of switzerland (so you can see funny stuff like this waterskier), but if you need even more speed you can also only have the streets in a “normal” map mode (but is of no use for the waterskier :-)
hell, there’s even more: click on the map to zoom in, right-click to zoom out. i’d write some more, but i gotta run, i’m off to biel to attend a vernissage of biggi lustenberger with a piece of art me and 50 other people are in. have a nice evening!
oh, btw, that’s the house i live in, but give me a call before you come and visit…
i should have read that post before the suicmc04 was over!
i’ve been doing lot of emailing from all the different accounts @suicmc04.ch (info, sponsoring, race, helfer, etc.) and every-time i did this, i did an apple+; to go to the preferences of mail.app to be able change the corresponding email-address.
now justin french (with a wonderful website!) mentions an un-documented feature of mail.app. you are able to set up multiple adresses for one account, which is a HUGE timesaver for all of you that have multiple mail-addresses that are being forwarded to one address in the end (e.g john@example.com, john.doe@example.com, info@example.com). mail.app is even smart enough to know which address to use when you reply to an incoming mail.
just wonderful, but a pity i know it now that the suicmc is over and i won’t be handling multi-alias mailing anytime soon.
stuff like this makes working with a mac even more fun!

i for one welcome our medicine overlords!
i’d really like to watch my veins pulsating green on my own arm the next time i’m gonna donate blood…

is it funny? or is it really, really scary?
i don’t know what to think of that movie (5.7mb .mov) in which someone edited all fear-inducing flowery phrases spoken at the rnc into one hypnotizing stream of words that start to loose the connection to reality.
think for yourself might be one consequence. don’t trust the words of those governing you…

i really got a kick out of these nice stop-motion-animations from some french students!

my pictures from the suicmc04 are online.
grab them either on the /pics-section or on flickr.
my batch of pictures is mostly from the preparation. if you want to see some other great pictures, then tinu pixels pictures are available on the suicmc-homepage. go and take a look, they’re great!
so if i link to chregels page with the keywords jämmerlicher waschlappen i kinda induce some funk with googles index. this sounds like fun, count me in!
see the search-result on this google-page
for our english-speaking audience: this is pretty much the same as when you google the term miserable failure and reach the biography of dubja bush. chregel blocher is a member of the swiss federal council and quite a prick…

lanz and beat have put their photos of the suicmc04 online. (i think that this picture he made during the critical mass is really, really nice…)
my pics will follow shortly, first i have to admire the ones that tinu made, they’ll be on the suicmc-page soon (e.g. i hope i can do it soon)
the suicmc04 is over. now i’ve got to see that i don’t fall into a post-evental depression.
here’s a some pictures for you (we prepared the whole event for about a year, so this justifies some more pics :-)
hämme during the preparations:
pascal from biel and roman1 from basel during the mainrace:
some kricker during the mainrace:
all my other pictures will be available here soon. pictures from more people will be available on flickr (hopefully…)
1ages ago we’ve been in the army together, which is quite strange, because we both couldn’t be farther away from supporting the army than we’re now…
here’s the flyer to the suicmc04 here in bern.
if all goes well, the flyer should be in the 20minuten tomorrow. and if you’re a listener to radiobe1, then you might be able to catch the ad they’re airing for us (or you can just click here and listen to the spot online (543kb .mp3-file) :-)
for more info go to suicmc04.ch
and if you’re looking at a search on my preferred telephone-number-finder tel.search.ch, then you might be able to spot a banner which links to the suicmc04 homepage (thanks to b. and RIM)
almost forgot to tell! there’s also a critical mass which is more than open for anyone! so take your bikes if you come and give us a visit.
(this post is gonna stay on top until then…)
