Reichen 4 GB fuer eine Seele? Hängt vielleicht von den darin befindlichen Abgründen ab. Und wie gut lässt sich eine Seele komprimieren? Und wie oft muesste man Diffs sichern?

Jonathan Rauch writes in Caring for Your Introvert: Do you know someone who needs hours alone every day? Who loves quiet conversations about feelings or ideas, and can give a dynamite presentation to a big audience, but seems awkward in groups and maladroit at small talk? Who has to be dragged to parties and then needs the rest of the day to recuperate? Who growls or scowls or grunts or winces when accosted with pleasantries by people who are just trying to be nice? I´m feeling observed. I can do a lessig-style presentation in front of 200 people without any problems but in a bar i´m really quiet, i hate senseless smalltalking like hell. A text catching my thoughts at the moment.

... when you read "Cylon Tea" instead of "Ceylon Tea".

Da sage nochmal man könne mit militärischem Wissen nichts in der Privatwirtschaft werden. Es gibt jetzt von AXE ein Nervengift ... sorry, ein Deo das aus zwei Deodorantsprays kombiniert wird. Sprüht man sich mit beidem ein, erhält man ein drittes Deo. Beim Militär nennt man das einen binären Kampfstoff. Die Aufrüstung hat jetzt also auch chemische Kampfführung im Rahmen der morgentlichen Fahrten mit der S-Bahn erreicht.

I thought a little bit about the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games yesterday. Those scenes of 2008 people almost in synchronity ... it seems to be a german phenomenon to get remembered to one of our darkest ages by them.

Whatever you think about the chinese people, the ignition of the olympic flame was a cool stunt. But to hoist the olympic flag by soldiers was a little bit strange.

Ich glaube, ich bin zu ehrlich fuer diese Welt: Ich bin ohne Schmuggelware aus den USA gekommen, ich warte auch fuer einen 1mm Kratzer mit dem Einkaufswagen. Nur der Zugbegleiter (nebst einigen Mitreisenden) hat mich eben gerade wie ein Auto angeguckt, als ich für die Strecke zwischen Hamburg nach Oldenburg mit Umstieg in Bremen eine Fahrkarte kaufen wollte. Nebenbemerkung: Ich sass schon im Zug zwischen Bremen und Oldenburg.
Uns definiert so wenig als eigenstaendiges Lebenwesen. Integritaet beispielsweise. Ehrlichkeit ist ein Bestandteil der Integritaet. Vielleicht sollte man das nicht wegen 8 Euro aufgeben.

Good to be in Hamburg again. At the end it´s the most beautiful town in the world

Eine gute Freundin meinte heute nachmittag: "Jörg, wann immer du mal ein paar Tage in deinem Blog nichts schreibst, rumort etwas in dir". Hmm, ja ... mag sein ... so fuehlt sich momentan auch mein Hirn an ... aber ich weiss noch nicht, was da am rumoren ist ... ich habe zwar ein paar Verdachtsmomente, aber nichts stichhaltiges ...

While writing the article about the UltraSPARC T1 on the train ride back to Hamburg yesterday afternoon, i had an idea for a solution to save large amount of time a day. I think, anybody knows the problem: You are in a conf call, anything was said, but not by everybody ... or someone uses his slot in the "Misc." session at the end in an abusive way to talk about the books he or she had read in the past or what people he or she had met. Or news from the last vacation. You know, that timewaisting stuff ...
But the solution is sooo simple: The teleconf selector and multiplexor. In every conference there is a person detecting a stalled teleconference. This state is reached, when someone talks but delivers no important information. Now you can simple switch to the unstalled telephone conferences and hear it. I think four or five telephone conferences in parallel is a good compromise ... there is no danger, that there will be good informations in two of four conf calls at the same time. And even when there is this situation put one of the good informations in the GIB (good information buffer) for a delayed replay when there is no other good information..
This would really save much time.

Back from Toulouse ... i´ve used the two hours in the plane for writing some notes about it. I had a really good weekend. The inner city of Toulouse on Friday. Saturday i´ve visited Biarritz and San Sebastian. Sunday was filled by a trip to Andorra and Barcelona. I´m full of impressions now. And i was able to store only a few of them in photos.
Driving to the capital of Andorra by using the Pas de la Casa is especially impressive. You have an impressive view on the surrounding mountains.
Andorra la Vella was somewhat disappointing for me (in regard of the planed purpose). It seems that size of shoes above a german 44 are unknown. Cheap shoes are nice, but they should fit at least.
Okay, from there we drove to Spain and ahead to Barcelona. Barcelona is a great city, but i need some more time there. I saw only a minimum of the city (La Rambla and the Curch of La Sagrada Familia ... and a little bit of the harbour). At least i was able to buy my 13th Starbucks collectors mug yesterday (everybody needs a strange thing to collect).
I will post some photos in the next few days.

Ist jemanden bei der UnionInvestment Werbung im Fernsehen schon das unrealistische Weltbild aufgefallen. Die mit dem von der Wiege bis zur Bahre. Da gibt es ja auch das "der erste Kuss" Szenario. Nur, der Typ sitzt auf dem Fahrersitz eines Autos. Der Herr muss demnach 18 sein. Wer glaubt denn wirklich, das heute mit dem ersten Kuss noch bis 18 gewartet wird?
