Wired cakes and wireless cookies

Tuesday, March 22nd, 2005

And there I’m back and relaxed after that days of hard work. The Weeekend was full of nice events. I met my cousin, and there was long time no see. She now lives in a small nice flat in Muenster with a very kind cohabitant, named Caroline. I had a long talk with her about DRM and RFID, its political influence and the social problems ascending from it. Its been a long time since i talked that free and open to someone wthout hving to fear being misjudged as someone who only focuses on small problems making them more important thant they are. Its been very nice to know that there are still people out there in the normal world of insanity, who are wondering about those things and know about the problems coming along with technology.

Then yestersay i tried out the DLink Wireless Equiptment, I bought for a small price. I wodered if the reception range given by D-Link for outdoor use was really 300 Meters. I installed the Test equip at my window and walked away with my notebook along the street. I measured the signal with a Cisco Aitonet 350, having a Ping running and chatting over SSH. I was 330 Meters away when the signal got unuseable first. Later me and Dominik installed it on his roof and measured 470 Meters with working and useable connecions using the shipped Dlink DWL-650+. Thise Devices are Crappy but have a lot of power :) .

Today i’m going to visit my friend Carolin. She has birthday today and i bake a cacke foer her with all the stuff she likes. I really hope it tastes good. It was not much work but you don’t want to see the kitchen, when i worked there before. its like nuclear wasteland ;) . So i had a lot of ceaning to do. Additionally il cut a small cherry tree purch from our tree and plant it into a nice pot. I hope she likes that.

But that wil all happen after work, which is 4:00pm. Now it 9:28am and theres still a lot of work to be done.

See you all, things are getting better. Theres nothing to fear about, even if theres trouble, everything gonna be alright. I’m sure about that.

CeBit and all the things among

Wednesday, March 16th, 2005

If theres a god, whz doesn’t he prevent people not knowing anything and not willing to learn to got to gatherings like the Cebit? I was there sunday, together with Dominik, Michael, his father, who runs a TV-Shop and a coworker of his father. We talked to people who had interesting projects, gathered some informational materials and saw too many people, that were only aming on the goodies, the exhibitors gave away. Its terrible.

Among that Dominik and I donated some Euros to the Debian Project and got honored by Tolimar, one exhibitor at the Debian booth. He performed an accolade on me, by putting an debian lanyard keychain on me. I really like those ;)

Apart from the Cebit, not many things are happening, apart from me being irritated by all myself. I just feel not like being me at the moment. Perhaps I just miss the feeling of beig in love again or I am to resignated to really feel that. Its all work at the moment and much stress there, so my feelings hardly find any time to come trough… perhaps I start writing poetry again these days. Its been a while.

So be all well my friends, its time to leave. Its past 21:00 and i haven’t had lunch yet.
