The guide is definitive. Reality is frequently inaccurate.
This and that
This article is work in progress and will be updated along the way. Last update: Sep 6th 2015 – problems, problems.
For some time (before dropdropbox) I thought about replacing dropbox as my primary cloud storage. Instead of choosing another provider like Google Drive or Wuala I decided to try owncloud.

Usually blog posts here are about software development or are just update announcements for software I’ve written. This one’s different, because it doesn’t deal with software, development or the like.
What I recommend here are documentaries which I found to be absolutely outstanding and eye-opening. I’m talking about the British film maker Adam Curtis who made several films for the BBC.
For me his most impressive work is All Watched Over By Machines Of Loving Grace
– a three part series about machines and power. The first part for example connects seemingly unrelated events and persons like Ayn Rand, Bill Clinton, the Asia crisis and the rise of Silicon Valley to a greater narrative about how ideas and structures evolved in modern society.
His movies are also filmed differently than most documentaries you know – more like an audiovisual mash-up without loosing the focus on the content.
Fortunately all of Adam Curtis’ works can be watched online on thoughtmaybe.com (which by the way is a great resource for documentaries):

The films are in English, subtitles are available in Spanish and French.
Also don’t miss the other features, especially The Trap
and The Power of Nightmares
.

Some small things:
The RSS feed is now being delivered via Feedburner so you can now also subscribe to updates via email if you like (see the button on the page footer). If the feed makes problems, notify me..
And you find a “print”-button there also – which by itself is not soo interesting, but I finally integrated a print stylesheet..
Yesterday the Magic Mouse arrived (yes it’s one of the worst photos ever made, I know) and to be honest, I was somewhat disappointed in the first place.
Design is great, the material feels very good and the concept is really really cool. But there are some annoying things – most of which can be solved via additional software. Continue reading “Apple Magic Mouse”
Japanisches Restaurant in Düsseldorf – schöne Erklärungen von Wikipedia auf der Wandtafel, sogar die “[Bearbeiten]”-Links wurden 1:1 kopiert.
Seen in a japanese restaurant in Düsseldorf – good explanations from Wikipedia on the wallboard, even the links for editing content (“Bearbeiten” in German) were copied.
