This should be the perfect time to quit smoking, shouldn’t it?
Before, I managed to quit smoking for 3 days in [...]

The photos of my journey to Tokyo back in 2004 are now fully uploaded on my flickr account.
Unfortunately, I only had a 2 MegaPixel camera at the time, so the quality could have been better.
In addition to that, I haven’t had a tripod with me, so especially the pictures taken by night are more or [...]

I’ve seen Tarantino’s new movie yesterday, July 21th, 2007, in the Cinemaxx (Raschplatz) in Hannover - what can I say? I am not so much a fan of the 70’s movies and their style, either, but this one is really - cuckoo.

IE NetRenderer: ipinfo.info/netrenderer/

I finally purchased a nice Samsung SGH-D900 mobile, so that I can put my old Siemens CX65 to rest.
I always wanted to have a slider!
Unfortunately, after installing the Samsung PC Studio 3 from CD, I couldn’t play any mpg-files any longer. The thing is: how do you find out that a mobile phone software [...]

I just deleted the categories

Commercials,
Interesting Stuff,
Life/Universe/etc.,
Sports,

because I think I do not need extra sections like that any longer (e.g. “Interesting Stuff” does not really say anything, does it?).
All but some exceptions can now be found in the “Around The Web” category where I have also put a lot of the “Miscellaneous” stuff.
