go vote! [update]

Images Pictures Noergeli-Gin 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.

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.

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.

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.

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 angenehmen 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!
