Thanks to Tim I found a nice wordpress plugin called FAlbum which helps you including your Flickr photos in your wordpress project:
Note that it might take some customization. My sidebar was thrown to the bottom when I first installed it. Help can be found here. Although these instructions refer to a special theme, it helped me out a lot.

You have been looking for ages for a way to change the order of the accounts shown in the folderpane in Thunderbird? You want the “local folder” (which is called “Privat” in German) to be placed above all other accounts because it is your main account? You want RSS-feeds to be shown at the bottom?
Then use the “Folderpane Tools” which can be found at

Finally, my good friend Tim Engelhardt decided to start a comeback with a weblog (in German), after having no homepage at all for months (or let’s say years)!
Check it out and support it at www.engelhardt.be, as it is currently still under construction (in my opinion, it will grow faster as he might think).

I just happend to find bandnews.org, where you can select up to 100 bands. The service then collects news (via webrobot), and you can subscribe to them via RSS-feed. Registration with user name and eMail is necessary.
nfortunately, this did not work so well… I can only add up to 5 bands, and my RSS-reader (which is Thunderbird) denies the URL because it “is no valid RSS-feed”.
I have written a letter to the webmasters. Maybe they can tell me what went wrong.

Here is how you set up Thunderbird for viewing RSS-feeds:
With firefox, you can use the extension Sage.

Can anyone explain to me why - in Germany - only the gasoline price is shown with three post decimal positions, whereas any other price (like in the supermarket) shows the usual two? And why do they always end on a ‘9′? Does it make any difference at all if I pay 1,36 € or 1,359 €?
OK, one may say that it’s this psychological price threshold marketing whatever thing where one thinks that 1,99 € is much less than 2,00 €. But why with - I repeat - three post decimal positions and only for gasoline?
This has never made sense to me…

Before Pirates Of The Carribean - Dead Man’s Chest they showed two very promising trailers:
- Perfume: The Story Of A Murderer
Starts in Germany on September 14th. The book was written by Patrick Süskind. Unfortunately, there is only a German website.
- World Trade Center
Release date in Germany is September 28th as the website reads. It’s an Oliver Stone film starring Nicolas Cage, see the international website for details.

I just saw part II of “Pirates Of The Carribean” (original version) - funny, there is no “part II” in the English title like in the German one - instead, it is called “Dead Man’s Chest”… but yet it is a sequel, so one will automatically compare it to the first one.
I think it is a nice movie with some great special effects, but only Johnny Depp makes this movie worth seeing - I love this guy (figuratively)! The way he acts is unbelievable: like in the fist movie, he talks and moves like someone who is kind of drunk as a skunk with a sunstroke in a feminine way. It is a pleasure to watch that - actually, his way of speaking in that movie was the vital reason for me to see the original version. His voice in the German version really sucks.
Bill Nighy also acts greatly as Davy Jones. Funny - I could tell it was him just because of the eyes… OK, the voice was a second help…
And then there is Keira Knightly who really is a beautiful woman (and therefore also a pleasure to watch) - and in addition to that, her accent is really sexy. 
The story? Well, it didn’t convince me that much. It seems like a slightly altered version of the first one: the black pearl, dead people, a secret treasure, a rescue, love, a curse, blabla.
I heard that they shot the 3rd part right after they finished the second one, so no wonder there is an open end - and that we will see some of the characters again. But regardless of what the story of the 3rd movie will be like: with Johnny Depp in it, I will also watch that one. Thumbs up, Johnny!

I have always wondered what happens on the molecular basis when I slice bread or cut something into pieces. Clearly, the bread as well as the knife consist of molecules - and on a deeper level of atoms - and even deeper there are electrons, photons etc.
What one does is that one puts pressure on the knife, and then it “goes through” the bread. Cutting harder material sometimes requires another technique, like “sawing” for example, but the process on the molecular basis must be similar. The only difference seems to be the smoothness of the surface of the pieces after slicing/cutting. Like, when you use an iron saw to cut.. let’s say a nail… then the nail might look a little frayed… whereas the bread looks smooth after slicing, especially if one uses white bread… and if you break wood, it usually splinters and does not look smooth at all.
What is really going on there? It seems that I can seperate molecules by “pressing or rubbing other molecules” against them (slicing/cutting/sawing) or even with my bare muscular strength (breaking)! Isn’t that strange?
What happens to the molecules at the location where I slice/cut/break? Do I really split whole molecules, so as if they get divorced and then live on two other sides of the bread - each one damned to live a life as a half or to search for a new partner? Or do I just break up friendships (like groups of molecules, but each one remains an integral whole)? Why does the knife stay in shape? Is it because the molecules of the knife have a more powerful “electromagnetical relationship” that keeps them together even when they are “pressured”?
Slicing bread can really be an intellectual experience.
