Memes are generally not something I try to get involved with, but occasionally, when the idea of looking at the computer screen any longer and trying to concomitantly think of something original to say, being tagged by someone like Armin doesn’t sound so bad. So, here goes, a meme translated from German to English (which […]
Flying to London - €48
Having your German mobile phone search the internet for about five hours on an “International Roaming” rate - I dread to think.
Not being able to upload anything to your own site - annoying.
Discovering it was because the contract on my server ran out on Feb 14th - not really priceless, the […]
Memes. Evil, nasty things, we hates them, but as my brain is in recover from three hours at the dentist mode again, and more importantly shock from seeing the “this is the bill for the work we’ve done so far”, a meme is about as good as it can get today. It’s all her fault […]
Version 2.0 of Wordpress has been out for over three weeks now and I still haven’t got around to upgrading. I was er, watching for initial teething problems you see.

For some reason of late, I seem to be getting lots of links and readers from Berlin-based blogs. Nothing wrong with that, I hear you say. I’m in Germany, Berlin is the capital of the Fatherland, it had to happen eventually……
It started off with Broke In Berlin who has an obviously delusional commenter who admonishes […]
Over at the Shaperner, Mr. Nosemonkey is worried that the British blogosphere is cliquey and almost elitist.
Meanwhile Mark Holland notices how many of the top political bloggers went to grammar or private schools.
Coincidence? Or blogging reflecting society?
The fair and delectable (look, the shaved head picture has a certain, er, something) gigglechick has discovered podcasts and / or a microphone. In fact she’s discovered them with an apparently insatiable zeal. Those of us who find it a tad tricky to get to her open mic session in New York can now listen […]
That book thingie, featuring “writing from the rising stars of online journalism” and stuff will be, you know, like, “out” on Friday.
