very nice place indeed.
13.05.2004 - new bike
what a beauty.
12.05.2004 - web browser
if some things on this website look strange to you (like CSS, transparent PNGs or the scroll behaviour), you should stop using IE (which you should do for any other reason anyway) and switch to a real browser.
19.04.2004 - Xbox Linux cluster
today we performed MPI speed tests on Xbox Linux.
18.04.2004 - at least they're honest
this is how the craftsmen signed the big modification our house is currently undergoing. 'Murks' means 'botch'.

rearranged the pix section and added the Paris images.
26.03.2004 - daduke's going to Paris
next week I will be in Paris for a conference and some vacation...

yes, you can do something useful with your Apple mouse after you have bought a real one for your Mac.
30.08.2003 - small MP3 player
with 256M, it is just right to be taken everywhere. I wrote this bash script to recode my
MP3s from 160k to 96k for this player.
15.08.2003 - yummy!
10.08.2003 - Nixie clock project page started

10.05.2003 - beware of these capacitors
those sukkers killed my server.
09.05.2003 - as seen on TV
no comment.
on sat my new server died. Just froze or rebooted. After buying a new Shuttle board and a 1.7 Celeron, I examined the
old board. Apparently it suffered from a known problem: shitty capacitors
spill their electrolyte all over the place. Not a good idea in a server. Check out the mess they made on the pictures.
new digicam! | 10.04.2003
I replaced my HP618 with the wonderful Pentax Optio S. Now this is an amazing piece of technology.
new server! | 01.04.2003
all my domains moved to a new server. The old 486/66 has served me well in the last 4 years, but now it's time for a Celeron/800, 512M, RAID1, and latest RH8.
nixies are alive! | 09.02.2003

wiring the new apartment | 20.04.2002
I just moved in to Anthony's apartment. Now we're wiring it, 2 ethernet cables to every room (including kitchen), the projector and the dolby digital system go to the living room. Now we only have to find the time to watch any of the 438 TV channels the DVB receiver offers...
oh yes, and 2 Mbit on the desktop are nice, too. Thanks Anthony ;-)

First days at ETH | 05.04.2002
I'm now back to Zurich and ETH, and I'm really excited about all the stuff we're gonna do in the next months.
Great Linux firewall | 06.03.2002
Today I tried fli4l, a great one-disk linux firewall solution. Take an old 486, strip out everything except floppy drive, network card and isdn (or DSL) card, edit 4 config files, boot from the floppy disk and you have a nice firewall.
Got myself a PhD position! | 18.01.2002
Europe's got the Euro | 04.01.2002

Leaving Frankfurt | 21.12.2001
Today I'm leaving Frankfurt. The project at Commerzbank is over. I really enjoyed the last 9 months and earned myself quite some money. Berger Strasse, I'll miss you.
I'm back! | 30.07.2001
My vacation is over. Yeah, it's only been one week, but I liked it a lot. If you ever happen to be around, be sure to visit Amrum, a nice little island south of Sylt with beaches like in the Carribean. See the pix section for details...
vacation | 22.07.2001
I will be on vacation until 30.07.01. As all good last-minute offers are already gone, I will spend one week in Husum, North Sea. Prepare for some pictures when I'm back!

my first real job | 21.03.2001
Last week, I finished my studies at ETH Zurich. I now proudly call myself Dipl. Phys. ETH! Without any time to get bored, I already started my new job today: I am working as an IT consultant for Commerzbank in Frankfurt. We are doing source code analysis and are trying to squeeze out all bugs in the transition from DEM to EUR.
