Eigenwerbung
Happy Birthday to me, Happy Birthday to me, Happy Birthday, dear ego, Happy Birthday to me. 
Immer wieder schön von Jahr zu Jahr zu berechnen, wie alt man doch ist. Und nächstes Jahr werd ich schon ein Vierteljahrundert. *schauder*
Wird endlich Zeit für die erste Million.

Andy's recovered
Finally! Andy has recovered from the dark side of music and seems to finally be listening to *good music* again.
That's even worth a single blog entry.

Credit card signing in an artistic way
An article about How crazy would I have to make my signature before someone would actually notice?. The author complains about him signing credits card with any random signature without facing any problems.Wicked thing. Those are the times where I feel lucky to not possess any credit card. A very funny article to read!

E-Plus offers GPRS-Flatrate for new PDA
Finally! Heise Mobile reports about a new PDA which will be offered for the german mobile-communications provider E-Plus.
This is the first step towards kicking UMTS out of business. A flatrate-GPRS service for usual cellphones would really kick ass, I would even seriously think about paying 20 Euro a month. Now their PDA isn't really what I'm needing and not looking that good:
I guess I'll have to wait for some serious PDA with all that funky gadgets from today and then be able to really surf wireless with my Notebook from all around. As long as WLAN isn't widespread (and cheap) in germany, that seems to be the only alternative.
I'm curious about what Andy will say about this, as we're both already E-Plus customers and using their GPRS-contract.

Wie gewinnt man das Herz eines Mannes?
Ist vermutlich schon total alt, abegriffen, oder was auch immer. Aber ich seh's zum ersten mal, und musste schmunzeln:

Flash: Prince of Persia
Eine kleine Zeitreise, gute 10 Jahre zurück. Ein kleiner Garvin sitzt vor seinem heiligen 286er und dem Monochrom-Monitor und spielt ein Spiel. Gelegentliche Aufschreie und Wutattacken verraten den Suchtfaktor des Spiels. Es geht um einen kleinen Perser, der laufender- und hüpfenderweise den Weg durch ein Backsteinlabyrinth sucht. Das Labyrinth ist, mal hier, mal da gespickt mit fiesen Stacheln und herunterfallenden Platten. Und Schwertkämpfern. Und das Spiel ist sauschwer. Dafür ist die Steuerung und die Animation der Figur für damalige Zeiten erstklassig.Man sieht, das Spiel hat es mir damals richtig angetan. Derzeit fiebere ich der Neuauflage (Sands of Time) entgegen und hoffe, dass daraus ein richtig gutes Spiel wird. Heute fand ich bei Moe's Blog (wo ich schonmal einen DHTML-Lemmings Klon fand) ein Link zu einer Flash-Version von Prince of Persia!
Die Animationen der Figur sind echt original von der alten Version, nur grafisch noch was aufgepeppt. Ich bin echt begeistert, was man nicht alles nettes mit Flash machen kann!

Rabazz.de Mobile SPAM
While I was walking around a little park in London, I suddenly got a call to my mobile phone. As no caller-id was transmitted, I thought it could be something important and decided to answer the call. As with international roaming calls, I have to pay for any call form germany to my mobile actually, so this was really a decision I had to make.
But guess what call I got? Some recorded voice telling me in german, that I have to take advantage of that GREAT NEW internet community by E-Plus, where I could - and that was exactly where I immediatly hung up the call. This really got me started, so I was thinking about what just happened. Has SPAM already advanced that much, that great (in a sense of 'huge', not 'good') companies use that? I have never ever received a advertisement-only call to get me into buying or visiting anything! And I never expected my first spam-call to be even a recorded one! Holy Zeus!

Flash: 3d-styled Page
I've just seen the URL to a personal 3D-Flash site in Tom Sommer's Blog.It's really a visually great looking site with nice effects. Even though loading takes *ages* in highband-mode even on DSL. So don't try this at ISDN-home, kids! Still the time is worth waiting for.
