Cought him on a pit-stop on the 24th of december, quite close to the Arctic Circle…

yep, this is again the view from our current window - taken today at 10:20 a.m.

Soon we’ll be on our way to Lapland, visiting Joulupukki, THE Santa Claus himself. Or maybe he’ll visit us?!¿ …we’ll see.

Und jetzt noch kurz auf deutsch:: Ja, dies ist der Blick aus unserem Fenster in Vallila, Helsinki, Finnland - gerade eben um 10:25 aufgenommen.

Und gleich geht’s los Richtung Lapland, zu DEM Weihnachtsmann höchstpersönlich…

Na dann:: Frohes Fest!!!

PS:: bitte was muss ich da in der Internet-Zeitung lesen? Supermarkt im Prenz’l'Berg überfallen?!¿ Na, da hat wohl jemand seine Wehnachtskasse aufbessern wollen?! Wir offensichtlich Zeit, dass das neue Jahr beginnt und alle (noch) mehr Geld in die Taschen bekommen…

here come s a brand-nu wallpaper, this time in nine different resolutions, optimzed for regular 17″ screens, a Power Books and 20″ Studio Displays. Please feel free to download it from here …the third set

Update 2006: the Berlin-Wallpaper have finally moved to Bilderbook..

well…

this is my favourite WELTZEITUHR. It only shows the current time of cities, that are on the same time-zone as Berlin :)
I have no clue who actually did this modification - but i love it.

More about this matter will be posted soon…
Have a nice weekend! t_;_,_,___ _ _ _

UPDATE :: I just updated BILDERBOOK with a set of 117 pictures of our short trip to Budapest last weekend.
Enjoy browsing all pictures and/or send a picture by e-card :)

…………………….cheers! t…

finally finished the Kontula Spring Set …the third set of Desktop Pictures and Icons showing some scene from Helsinki, Finland. This time you can find some cute little concrete jungle called Kontula, which you can also have a look at - from this . And again I am not sure if it belongs to the MAC-ICONS or rather to the WALLPAPER section of the FREE-area :) but maybe you decide for yourself.

And just like the previous sets (which can be still found from the /free-area) it comes again in three sizes:: titanium-power-book-friendly 1152×768, 1024×768 and i-book-friendly 800×600 :) …together with tram-icons as well as car-icons, the BRAND-NEW bus-icons and a phone-booth…

feel free to download it, feel free to use it, feel free to enjoy it,
take it or give it as a gift… as long as you dont hurt anyone it should be fine.

greetings, t_;_,_,___ _ _ _

ps:: I’m still residing in Berlin, I just needed another 10-finger exercise…

:

1) This picture is actually some months old already. It’s a hand made screenshot of a wurst-cast-szenario:: a damaged Rammstein :) which is not only a german band name but also what i call these small black extra memory sticks that you may plug in to your favourite machine to make it remember a bit better what it was just doing… a RAM-brick.
After plugging in another 512MB, my t-board did not even remember who it was (and if:: how many?!¿)
So:: be careful if you want to do something _good_ to your favourite machine…

2) The other reason for this posting is that i wanted to spread the well of having a small script keeping selected domains from hijacking graphics, stealing bandwidth, funking up you logs’n’stats, misbehaving.

Here it comes::

The ! NO ! WAR ! PICTURES ! PROJECT ! is up and running…
go and post a picture (sorry, in german only - at the moment…)

UPDATE: the pproject is down.. for now.. because I had to move servers and databases and - i have to confess that I just -dropped- the data.

But I can enshure that I’ll post the pix on bilderbook

besides all these news about war-preparations, oil on coasts, rising taxes, UB40 on the radio - and all these small- and large-scale Wurst-Case-Szenarios there also seems to be some glittering sparkles at the horizont::
The [url=”http://www.gema.de”]GEMA[/url] for example just turned 100 (congratz!) and took the chance to underline the importance of the private-use-copy :) that we all love so much these days.

wow.

Thank you, Grand-Madame de la Musique-Business, have another nice 100 years, and please dont forget the self-made Ministars, the original artists and all the brave kids in their basements, garages and fox-holes, cursing, rehearsing, rockin and rollin…

Makes me wonder about the propagana of the music-industry, that already made even some close friends of mine think that the private-use-copy was already illegal. Bullshit :) comrades! Of cause you may still not steal music - but that`s a different game.
You may instead visit friends with your MiniDisco-Recorder or the Powerbook of your choice and have a coffee-session, just like it was in the good old times of compact tapes (you still have yours somewhere in some box?)

And besides this, i can only recommend you to let somebody repair your favourite broken device! YES! FINALLY! DO IT! Just go to go to your local electronics-dealer and ask him for a special offer for a maintenance session for your favourite broken device! Happiness might be guaranteed!
- And if you have a picture of your favourite broken device then please dont hesitate to send it to me :) and i’ll post it in a brand new BokenDevices-Section or so

haven’t updated this for a while - i know (and you know). well - but now i have this snapshot. Father and son going to the football match Herth BSC vs. Werder Bremen. The Bremen Team won - and i heard that it was one of the worst games ever - for Hertha and her fans. For me it was again some full-body screen-saving on a saturday evening… in the fog. For my darling it was a job with some worst-case-scenario-tendencies… taking pictures… but that’s a different story. Further more i can say that i also managed to update BILDERBOOK - with a set of pictures taken of the CASTOR-boxes in front of the Green’s party office in Berlin… Have a look…

something new (but old) in the /free section: a wallpaper that shows some crossroad from Vallila, Helsinki, together with some small car icons and a tram - for all your desktop adventures :)

i did these pixels already last year (!) for my Final Thesis - but only now, since it seems that i finally have somehow a proper HomeZone, i thought of “recycling” at least some of the work and make ‘em a nice DeskTop set…

you may download it either from here or from there].
