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.
10.04.2003 - new digicam!
01.04.2003 - new server!

oh yes, and 2 Mbit on the desktop are nice, too. Thanks Anthony ;-)

06.03.2002 - Great Linux firewall

22.07.2001 - vacation
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!

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.
