Das Fernbusexperiment
Habe jetzt mal diese neuen Fernbusse ausprobiert. Auf der Hinfahrt waren wir gut 40Minuten zu spät und mit der Anreise zum Abfahrtsort erst in die andere Richtung, waren wir auch erst eine Stunde nach Abfahrt wieder näher am Ziel, als von unserem Ausgangspunkt aus. Die schnellste Verbindung ist es auf jeden Fall nicht. Da ich aber auch schon Abschlussfahrten hatte wo ich 2Tage mit Reisebussen unterwegs war ist dies nicht unbedingt ein Problem.
Der Preis ist dafür schon ziemlich attraktiv. Ich frage mich noch immer wie die Anreise zum Abfahrtsort mit dem ÖPNV €7,40 kosten kann und dann die Fahrt mit dem Fernbus nur €18,00!?! o_O Das steht doch in überhaupt keiner Relation.

Ein überraschend gut funktionierndes und dazu noch kostenloses WLAN ist schon ein ziemlich gutes und starkes Argument für mich.

Die Fahrer waren total unterschiedlich. Einer hat beim Fahren mehr telefoniert als alle Mitreisende zusammen, die anderen überhaupt nicht. Einer hat auf die Gurtpflicht aufmerksam gemacht, bei den anderen gab es gar keine Informationen. War aber auch ganz interessant zu lauschen worüber sich die Busfahrer so unterhalten haben. Scheinen nicht unbedingt die besten Arbeitsbedingungen da zu sein und die Zufriedenheit der Mitarbeiter auch nicht die beste, so dass es da nicht unbedingt konstante und zuverlässliche Verhältnisse immer gibt.

Interessant war es auf jeden Fall, ob ich es wiederholen werde wird sich wohl erst zeigen.

I'd like to know that, too. You won't be able to download software from Google Play, for one. That's harder than it sounds:

I recently reactivated my old Nexus One to serve as UPnP server attached to the stereo, so I can play music from my phone. It had some quite old custom ROM on it, and the Android Market app from those times behaved rather strangely. I could use it, and searching the store did produce some results, but only very few, and no UPnP apps.

So I tried to find an alternative store to download a UPnP app there.

No chance.

I searched quite a number of stores (not Amazon, though, because I don't want to buy there, either). Not a single UPnP app anywhere.

I ended up flashing a more current ROM and Google apps, just to be able to buy a UPnP app (or even download a free one).

I'd guess that you'll probably lose access to any apps you paid for in Play Store, but I'm not sure.

We need more war machines
This is a really bad move of the german government. Germany's attitude towards worldwide trading of war machines is so hypocritical. #GermanWeaponsForTheWorld

What will a country - that has somewhat of 17000 islands - do with such huge and heavy tanks? How should these get used to defend the country? o_O This is so ridiculous! So either it is for the sake of wasting money or to use it for purposes that other governments were already concerned about and rejected to deliver tanks for.

I was a gopher developer (you can probably find me as an attendee at gophercon).

Gopher and WWW existed side-by-side for a couple of years. The advantage of gopher is that you could just point it at a directory and it would serve up the contents. WWW had hyperlinks withing the content - but it was harder to create HTML files with links in them. Most people couldn't be bothered to edit files for little perceived gain.

The reason gopher died was the day Mosaic was released with Marc Andreesen's new <img> tag and images were rendered by Mosaic inline. Gopher and the CERN linemode browser needed to spawn an external process to view images in another window. Mosaic showed them on the same page with the text - the first TCP/IP application to do so. It was like reading a magazine with glossy photos, except it was online. This was the game changer. Within *one week* traffic on our gopher server went from thousands of hits per day to a handful. The WWW server went from a handful of hits a day to thousands. The change was that dramatic. Gopher literally died overnight. It wasn't due to WWW. It was due to one little tag, and a dev team that knew the Motif toolkit and the Windows API inside out - to be able to show you inline images cross platform. In my office, jaws dropped.
