Two things nobody ever thought would happen …

Apple switching to Intel processors and Debian Sarge finally being released ;-)

Edit:

And one more thing I didn’t think would happen just yet: A line for the ladies’ room on a technical conference (and that wasn’t the line after the keynote speech where there are lots of media reps and other non-tech people). Admittedly, it wasn’t a very long line compared to the one at the men’s room, but still ;-)

Musical Baton

I just got passed the musical baton from three different people at once ;-)

Update: Guess that makes four ;-)

Total volume of music on my computer: 10 GB

The last CD I bought: I guess that must have been a used copy of “Joyride” by Roxette (yeah, laugh at me, I’m still a big fan of Roxette and that was the last album I only had on tape *g*).

Song playing right now: The Road to Mandalay by Robbie Williams

Five songs I am listening to a lot:

Who’s next: Blogcat, Akkana, Kill_X, Dana

Happy New Year 2005

A Happy and Peaceful New Year to all of you!

If you know me, you’re probably aware that I can’t leave my hands off the camera when there are fireworks, so here is a photo, taken about half an hour ago :-)

Earthquake

We had a 5.4 magnitude earthquake last night, the epicenter was about 100 km away from Stuttgart. I was about to go to bed, so I noticed the quake immediately. The LRGB website showed the earthquake data without any delay, including an automatically generated press release, but it still took radio stations about 20 minutes until they managed to broadcast the news! Good thing, radio stations are not the only source of fast information any more :-)

[EDIT] Links are all dead by now, but here’s the plot I saved …
