Christopher in Eckernförde

31 May 2003

Perfect weather today on the Baltic coast. After going to the beach and the harbor, Christopher and I left Mama in Eckernförde for her class reunion and took the train back home. We’re back home, but exhausted.

Bridge Day

30 May 2003

It was a mistake going to work today, after the Ascension holiday yesterday. I should have taken the day off like most people. The office wasn’t just empty, but seeped in a mood of doom and gloom, as next week we start on reduced time… ‘Kurzarbeit’. My department will be working at 80% across the [...]

Blogging in German

30 May 2003

As an experiment I’ve reactivated my old antville weblog to do some posting in German. I imagine that my posts there will be a lot different than what I post here, since I won’t have to write a paragraph of background information for a 4 word punch line.

Pick One of Three

28 May 2003

steffanie has the answer for overcoming language barriers in weblogging. Simply learn another language… and blog in it!. She’s Swedish, and she’s blogging in Swedish, English and German. So maybe she’ll now learn Polish as well?

Mostly Useless

28 May 2003

I’ve nevered considered myself to be a ’serious’ weblogger, and have never really considered weblogging to be a ’serious’ activity. It’s just a hobby… it’s fun, I’ve met some great people online, I’ve had some good (and some not so good) discussions, and it’s a easy way to post baby pictures. But it’s message, not [...]

Please Don’t Not Smoke

27 May 2003

To follow up on Smoking for Health Care, it’s being reported today that the proposed €1 cigarette tax will not be imposed all at once on January 1, but will instead be introduced in stages of 40, 30 and 30 cents. The government otherwise fears a drastic drop in cigarette use and an impact [...]

Blog Cred since August 1999

27 May 2003

A number of folks (well, ok, two) at BlogTalk referred to me as a German blogging pioneer. It made me feel old, but it did earn me a number (two) of beers. My blog cred may not go back as far as that of Rebecca Blood (April 1999), who gave a keynote in Vienna, but [...]

Waging Peace

24 May 2003

Saturday in Vienna… a beautiful sunny morning, and we’re sitting in a dark hall with our notebooks. The title of Rebecca Blood’s keynote, Waging Peace: Using Our Powers for Good, sounded boring but her point was actually pretty interesting: that we tend to fill our blogrolls with blogs that think and write like we do.

Blogging Around the World

23 May 2003

The second set of presentations is somewhat more relevant and interesting. Presentators from Iran, Poland, and Spain are explaining about the role of blogs in their countries, which are more social, communicative, and friendly than the world the technologists were talking about this morning. I know which world I’d rather be a part of.

Sitting In The Back Row

23 May 2003

As promised, I’m in the back row at BlogTalk, wearing my dead fish cap, next to a power outlet so I can fire up my little ThinkPad. And the WiFi seems to work.

I’m skeptical of most of the points brought up by the panelists so far. How can bloggers internationally maintain any sort of meaningful [...]

Off to Vienna

22 May 2003

So I’m off to Vienna. I’ve never used my wireless network card away from home, so if I don’t post again until Sunday, you’ll know I didn’t get it work. I’ll be flying with Heiko, and I hear that Haiko is picking us up… that’s HIGH-ko and HEY-ko, and I hope I don’t get confused.
