The job information today sucked. All the journalism-guy did
was praise the work done at local newspapers - he really
never heard about online-journalism.
After that we started editing the movie. There are some bad
continuity problems in there, but I guess that's all part of
of the amateur charm, the movie will have :)
One good thing is that I have enough caffeine in my
bloodstream to write a paper about globalisation this night.
And maybe I might even be able to help the admin of our
schools webpage to fix some html-problems.
Over the weekend I read a large portion of K.W. Jeter's
Noir. So far I really like the book, though some parts are a
little too weird for my tastes. I guess all the German
poetry tied into the text is cooler, if you're not a native
speaker, but it seems to be a must to use at least some
German words in a modern science fiction novel *g*.

Been playing around a lot with
Gramps - I already
added about
100 of my ancestors, but since almost all of them have very
similar names it becomes harder and harder not to get lost.
The program has some very nice features like html
exportation, but the interface needs some work and it
would be great if the integrity check would actually tell me
where the
errors are. It seems good enough for a middle sized
ancestor-database though, so I guess I'll feature it in the
next Gnomogram.

It's funny how peolpe that I never heard of certify me -
thanks for the trust, just don't do that with PGP-Keys ;)
We have somehow been able to finish the movie yesterday,
ethen though the weather wasn't too great. The end is
hillarious (well, the whole movie will be), a guy gets a
doener kebap smashed in his face by his sister and she
steals his car. Believe me it's way more funny than throwing
a cake :)
I've also been working on the class of 2002 (staberg2002.de)
webpage, because we plan a big party soon and I need to add
some content for advertising reasons. When I have some more
time I'll redo the page in some decent html - the problem is
that nearly all viewers use internet explorer, which I don't
have (wan't) on my system and thus can't test against.
Next monday we'll have a career information day in school,
perhaps i can get some infomation about journalism there.
They have probably never heard of online-journalism on the
other hand.

Well, it's official now - Eazel closed it's doors. Sad to see
them go, but it's not really a surprise. Hopefully Ximian
will be able to make some money with services. Quite frankly
I doubt it, but it's absolutely worth a try. Apropos, looks
like the next issue of LinuxUser will ship with Ximian
GNOME. Another step towards more GNOME users in Germany :)
It rains all day here, so we won't be able to film outside.
I have no idea how to keep the deadline now - we'll probably
have to cut the movie in a weekend (without sleep).

Well, I just felt like it and opened an advogato account - I
hope I'll have the time to update the diary on a regulary
basis.
When finishing the Gnomogram yesterday I had a hard time
deciding what to write about Eazel. I think it's obvious
that they are going down, but it isn't official yet. Anyway,
it'll take a little time, before the next issue of LinuxUser
will actualy be printed and Eazel will hopefully have an
official announcement till then. It's hard to believe that
I'll be working on Gnomogram number 13 soon. It doesn't
quite feel like one year yet, but I'll include a summary of
the first year anyway.
School is pretty stressy right now, since it's exams time
and the movie I'm doing with a few friends is way behind
schedule. We'll hopefully be able to finish the filming
tomorrow and start the editing. I don't have to do any more
acting though, which is a good thing, since I'm not really
that talented *g*
