Google Mail And Redirections

September 27th, 2010 | View Comments

I must admit: I do not like eMail software that has to be installed any more – neither Thunderbird nor Outlook nor any other software that is available. Why? Because I like the interface of Google Mail a lot. No matter where you are: you just need a simple browser and you have access to all your emails with a very sophisticated, browser based technology that is permanently updated and improved. [Well, it seems like an automatic BCC functionality still hasn't been integrated - that's fine, I do not need it any more...] To backup my emails, I use Thunderbird Portable, because the full version would need to be installed properly – and I do not like that, as I said earlier. With Thunderbird Portable, just add your Google Mail … Read entire article »

Sony Vaio – Stop The Noise Petition (VPC-F11M1E)

September 15th, 2010 | View Comments

Am Anfang diesen Jahres habe ich mir im guten Glauben, ein Markenprodukt zu erwerben, ein Sony Vaio Notebook der F-Serie (VPC-F11M1E) im Media Markt zugelegt. Leider musste ich dann erfahren, dass dieses Notebook ein grässliches Fiepen abgibt. Also habe ich es im Media Markt wieder umgetauscht. Aber leider fiepte auch das zweite Gerät.

An Evening With “Rue Royale”

September 9th, 2010 | View Comments

Last Saturday, I had the chance to attend a “private event” at a friend’s house: Ruth & Brookln Dekker aka “Rue Royale”. As you can read on their Facebook site, they label their music “Indie-Acoustic-Folk-Pop”. Although that evening a PA system was present, they ended up playing completely unplugged: acoustic guitar, metallophone, shaker, bass drum – that was it. After their show, I had the chance to talk to them for a little while – they are some really nice people. Photo taken by Tim Engelhardt. Ruth and Brookln, what can I say? I loved it! Thanks for a wonderful “cosy” evening and all the best for your future career! “Rue Royale” on Facebook: www.facebook.com/pages/Rue-Royale/21996735616 Official Website: www.rueroyalemusic.com Twitter: twitter.com/RueRoyale MySpace: www.myspace.com/rueroyale Their music is also available through iTunes. … Read entire article »
