23.01.2005 - What a piece of crap
browser comparison
for some stupid reason, I installed IE 6.0 under wine on my Linux machine. Then I used it to have a look at my website. All validated XHTML and CSS, clean and simple. Now check what this pathetic shitty bastard made with my layout. How can 90% of all people use this bullshit?

no comment.

mobo mobo mobo
on sat my new server died. Just freezed 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.

10.04.2003 - new digicam!

I replaced my HP618 with the wonderful Pentax Optio S. Now this is an amazing piece of technology.

01.04.2003 - new server!
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.

09.02.2003 - nixies are alive!

In the last days I built a nixie clock. Radio controlled and all. As soon as everything is finished (case, software..), I will provide schematics, the PCB layout and the microcontroller software.

20.04.2002 - wiring the new apartment
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 ;-)

05.04.2002 - First days at ETH
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.

06.03.2002 - Great Linux firewall
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.

18.01.2002 - Got myself a PhD position!
Starting April 1st, I will work in Günter's nonlinear optics group at ETH towards my PhD degree. It's about circular optical microresonators for smaller and faster optical switches and filters.

04.01.2002 - Europe's got the Euro
So they've really done it. We have the Euro. Apparently my job at Commerzbank has not been that bad as they're still alive. Only minor problems throughout Europe. Greatest currency conversion of all times. Wow!

21.12.2001 - Leaving Frankfurt
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.

30.07.2001 - I'm back!
My holidays are 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...

22.07.2001 - holidays
I will be on holidays 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!

13.07.2001 - site finished
DADUKE dot ORG goes online!
The new layout is finished and going online today. Hope y'all like it...

07.07.2001 - LinuxTag in Stuttgart
Today I visited the LinuxTag in Stuttgart. Apart from all the booths, I attended ESR's talk on the Open Source community and CmdrTaco's keynote. Very phunny both of them...

21.03.2001 - my first real job
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.
