French Fries

Saturday, May 29th, 2004

I’ve gone on a bit of a download frenzy, since I’ve got nothing to do really. Among other things I’m downloading DVD rips of The Pretender and Will & Grace. I’m not going to keep them though. Why? For one thing, there’s serious artifacting throughout the Will & Grace episodes, but the one thing both [...]

Time to say goodbye

Sunday, May 23rd, 2004

The end of Friends was just a warm-up. Today was the day I went to say goodbye, to watch the end of not an era, but a legacy. And that’s just the one event that overshadowed everything else. If you know me or are from anywhere around Hamburg you most likely know already what I’m [...]

Fedora’s Box

Tuesday, May 18th, 2004

The decision has been made. Windows 2000 will be the last Microsoft OS to run on any machine I ever own. XP is a sad joke in my opinion, but with Longhorn, it gets even sadder. Instead of improving their Aqua knockoff, they seem to have made it even worse. And there’s the insane demand [...]

I’m on a wire to see your star shine

Thursday, May 13th, 2004

Hadn’t listened to BRMC for quite a while. Man, they are great. They are the only good band to play at Hurricane this year. Which is an improvement over the last two years, when it was all just plain shit, iirc. There’s a handful of bands there I wouldn’t mind seeing live, but who I [...]

The one where Chandler cries

Friday, May 7th, 2004

Yeah, I’ll admit it. I cried a little while watching the Friends finale. Of course it was during [spoiler]Joey’s and Chandler’s goodbye scenes, from when they were figuring out what to do about the fooseball table till the “awakward hug or lame cool guy handshake?” moment….[/spoiler] I’ll miss those guys the most. If only the [...]

So no one told you life was gonna be this way

Thursday, May 6th, 2004

I’d just like to point out to the rest of the world that tonight is the night the last ever episode of Friends airs. I don’t really know what to make of that. Even though I’ve pretty much spent my time bitching about new episodes ever since Series 9 began, it still is my favourite [...]

And now for the ladies…

Wednesday, May 5th, 2004

I’ve already listed the Top 10 guys, now I finally managed to come up with ten women I wouldn’t mind being involved with… ahem. It took a lot longer than coming up with the guys’ list, which I could pretty much rattle down in one go. Again, it’s in no particular order, except for Liz [...]

OMFG

Tuesday, May 4th, 2004

Some hackers once found a way to replace IE’s Trident engine with Mozilla’s Gecko. I don’t know if it was merely a proof-of-concept or if they went through with it and released their “plugin” (for lack of a better word). Now AOL, disguised as Netscape, brings you this. It might just be the end of [...]

Wanted dead - not alive

Tuesday, May 4th, 2004

I’ve been known to make stupid statements. But close to the German border, in the country of Bavaria, there’s a guy, or rather a bunch of guys who seem to think… I don’t actually know what they think. But they bitch a hell of a lot more than I do if they don’t get their [...]
