Using WordPress Templates [UPDATED]

OK, I put some php-code in the sidebar template that shows the 5 most recent posts (see the counterstrike page), but so what? I noticed that this kind of list is quite a standard on most WP blogs, so I stop making a fuzz about it… althouhgh I was SO proud that I managed to write the php-code on my own… [This post was updated, the old content has been deleted.] … Read entire article »

Counterstrike – “Killergame” Or Not?

OK, in Germany the discussion about the so-called killergames – like “Counterstrike” and “GTA” – is still on… more than ever, especially after the tragic killing spree in Emsdetten. [Read this (German) article @ "Spiegel online"] No question, “Emsdetten” was a tragedy… I am unable to describe how I feel about something as horrible as that.

So I canceled every single account… it makes no sense at all. I have always been sceptical about these sites, and I actually never wanted to use them – I often said: “Please shoot me if I should ever be in need of such a desperate way to meet women”… OK, I tried, please don’t shoot me, I know better now… … Read entire article »
