Archive for the 'update' Category

Until further notice i have disabled trackback and pingback funtionality. I just don’t have the patience of going through long lists of spam these days. Once i find the time for a general maintenance update of the blog software, trackback will return. Thanks for your understanding.

Ich habe es endlich geschafft die Webseite online zu stellen, die meine akademischen, kommerziellen und aktivistischen Seiten übersichtlich zur Schau stellt zusammenfasst – und das alles ganz im Sinne der präattentiven Wahrnehmung farbkodiert. Darüber hinaus ist sie bilingual und standardkonform. In diesem Zug erkläre ich exorb media informell zu Geschichte. Schluss damit, gröszer sein zu wollen als mensch eigentlich ist.

The problem with the lack of an enclosure tag in the RSS-feed is solved – somehow i have forgotten to do this the last time, thanks for the hint, bubi. Furthermore i have deleted the tag-cloud i had in the sidebar for the last weeks, since it was not really adding any value due to the mightiness of the two big language categories. Yet, in turn for this rollback i have added small nifty RSS-feed icons besides the categories. If you drag those into your favorite RSS-catcher it is possible to subscribe to individual categories. And if you drag them into your podcatcher only the posts of the podcast category will pop up.

I have been in Santiago now for two days and i must say that you can see many stray dogs in the streets, a whole lot of stencils on the walls, and all the people i asked for help were very friendly and unterstanding for my small Spanish.

Santiago itself is not necessarily beautiful, yet i have found quite a few nice corners. I would like to live in a shared flat with other chilenos, but right now i am not sure how to do it, since i have several must-haves: internet access, bikability to city center, and as i mentioned some Spanish-speaking roommates. Tomorrow i will meet my ’supervisor’ from the internship i am doing, he will probably help me with that.

Tomorrow the Spanish course will start which will take a month, so i can start speaking Spanish – instead of stuttering it all the time. I have taken a small test yesterday to see which level fits me. I hope i can get into the intermediate course.

For the time being i will publish new pictures to my flickr account to experiment with it and see how it works and stuff. The advantage for you is, a tremendous increase in subscribability, quality, resolution, and interactivity – can you ask for more? I have already started two sets: Santiago de Chile and Streetart in Santiago.

Als heute Nachmittag die Sonne sich kurz zeigte, habe ich eine kleine Radtour auf dem Damm unternommen. Dabei habe ich auch ein paar aneinandergereihte Fotos gemacht, die sich nun zusammengesetzt bei den anderen Panoramen wiederfinden.

Die Elbe war jüngst für mehrere Tage vereist, so dass sich interessante Eindrücke ergaben, die ich sowohl galeristisch als auch panoramisch festhielt — lange nachdem die Ente ersteres tat.

Heute bin ich ein wenig im Magdeburger Stadtpark herumgeradelt und habe Fotos und Panoramen von Park und Elbe gemacht. Die gefilmten Rehe folgen später.

After Ente has put up panoramas from our Sweden vacation i had to try it out, too, as i also took quite a lot panoramic pictures last summer. I found an elegant tool helping doing the stitching process for MacOSX. It is called DoubleTake and it worked really well. It worked that good, that i have played around with quite a few panoramas which i posted onto a designated wiki page.

Den Jahreswechsel werden die Ente und ich auf Wangerooge verbringen, um die Einsamkeit einer Sommersonneninsel zu genieszen.

Die Redaktion, das Lektorat und der RSS-Feed wünschen sowohl unseren stummen als auch kommentierenden Lesern ein gutes neues Jahr!

Nachtrag 5.1.06

Der Jahreswechselurlaub ist nun leider schon wieder vorbei. Die entsprechenden Galerien gibt es einerseits öffentlich und anderseits nur mit Passwort.

Dear reader, from now on the reading pleasure on this log might dramatically increase through the use of the neat and easy-to-install Related Posts plugin which puts links to statistically related posts on the end of every post:

You can see them on the designated article pages, but not on the front page of the log and not in the feed. What do you think?
