Just when I thought I was safe from allied WWII bombs, it seems that my in-house supermarket has been invaded by the cast and crew of some sort of movie production.
Let me know if you can spot a German ‘celebrity’ or have some insight to share on what they are shooting. I wish you all a wonderful week-end! :)
It’s now official where and when the Plone Conference 2008 will be held. The winner is Washington DC and the dates are October 8 – 10 preceded by two days of Plone training sessions, and followed by 2-3 days of sprinting.
Congratulations to Alex Clark and the ZPUGDC!
I’d like to openly disclose that I voted for the DC proposal, although it would have been more convenient for me personally to attend a conference in Europe. My vote this year was for a change of continent.
I hope I will be able to attend and see you there!
What many of us have been waiting for is finally here. flickr.com has finally added video sharing features. At this point, the video features are only available to pro subscribers (paying customers).
The new video service looks highly integrated and it is a snap to use. Personally, I’m comfortable with the 90 seconds and/or 150MB limit – at this point in time. So far I find the compression, audio and colour quality very, very good. All in all a very nice addition to an already great service.
To try out this new service, I’ve uploaded the last minute penalty shot and goal for 1.FC Köln vs Gladbach.
It looked like 1.FC Köln was set to lose the match, but thankfully the game ended 1:1 with the equalizing penalty in the 90th minute.
Yellow is not only the colour of easter; it’s the polar opposite of cowardice. Zefrank just started something called ColorWars 2008 on twitter (I loved his shows, by the way) – now, let’s all play.
Do you know Tibet? You should. Get involved and support the freedom of speech and expression of Tibetans as well as every other human being.

Join Team Yellow on twitter – We are all humans and we all have a right to be heard.
Yesterday on the 3rd of January a British bomb (Image) of the “zehn Zentner” (German) type from World War II was found near my apartment in Cologne, Germany. As they were defusing the bomb, I was evacuated from my apartment complex and had to stay away for the night.
They managed to defuse it (German) during the night so I could move back in on the 4th. Many thanks to the insanely brave people of the bomb squad!
Have a look at some images of the situation as I was evacuated.
