Anniversary book: I've just realized that I wrote my first book 10 years ago this year. Wow - I am old. It was the second (yes the second) German language book on the subject of email and usenet news. Using UUCP back in those days. Lots of additional "good old" subjects are discussed in it - things such as Archie, WAIS and Gopher. Of course you can't buy it anywhere now.

Looxing around: I wrote up some first impressions on the Loox.

iPod firmware update: Well at least some good news today. Apple have released a firmware update for the iPod. From the description they seem to have done some work on power management.

West Wing quote: From one of the three episodes I watched last night. Information breeds confidence - silence breeds fear.

Good (?) morning Europe: Breakfast talk this morning was explaining to Christopher (8) what the night's developments were and how they differ from Jeanne D'Arc. How that came up? He plays Age of Empires and there is a campaign in there that.... Here in Paderborn, there is no change (as yet) in the security around the British barracks I ride past. In other news, a demonstration is forming in the middle of the city and I saw lots of schoolchildren headed there around 8am.
