  • Tweakin’ the new blog

    I saw, that Teitans Paraphrasis seems to be offline currently. Teitan, what’s up? And does "Löschblatt" have any deeper meaning?

    Well. The new blog is going not so bad, I’m still in the process of re-styling the site to look not that similar to the MT blog at first sight, but keep its usability.

    The main page is almost finished for now, just some style tweaks left.

    What I still want to do is to enhance the archive pages to not only list the posts alone but also some better navigation on the left.

  • Car repaired… almost

    Today I’ll finally get my car back from garage. It was delayed another day because the mechanics "didn’t want to fix it in a hurry".

    But if they took that much care of it, why didn’t they fix my right-hand mirror? "…overlooked…"

    Well, I’ll get a new one the next time I have to show up for service there. I hope, they remember that by then.

    Odd. I’m sitting here at work, and let my girlfriend take up the car although she’s the reason why it halted beside the road in the first place. But I believe, this just was bad luck in a terribly bad week for us all, and so I trust her. She also surely takes a bit more care now while driving, but I don’t want to say that she drove dangerous before, far from it. But this just has to look strange from third person view 😉

  • This and that

    Saddam’s an OutKast: Hey Allah! (updated 2013-07-14) If you like the current chart-breakers Outkast with their song "Hey yah!", you’ll surely like this one.

    My car is still apsent one more day because the garage got already-damaged replacement-parts and has to reorder them.

    And I corrected an old post from me, which directly connects me with my employer. As I don’t want this because of job security, I modified the name of my employer, so that it should be safe for both sides now.

    Today’s "Hit the Bush" Bush still defends Iraq war on CNN.com. At the core, Bush now says he attacked Iraq, because Saddam only "was able to" produce WMD. Well, then now he has to make war on almost every country on earth, because even less experienced scientists can build WMD’s with the power of (some) money and the internet. Surely, everyone knows a report on a TV channel where the reporters get their hands on dangerous materials.

  • Week roundup

    This week was really strange. I told you about Monday to Thursday last post and now I want to make a whole week:

    • Friday: This morning, one of our customers system was not working again. We quickly brought it up again, before the customer recognized. Once again, a software component which we removed long ago but is still existing in outdated installations was totally disfunctional. One small fluctuation in the database and this crap runs crazy.

  • Tough week

    Wow, this week is really tough.

    • Monday: Several client systems have outages, peak had been four weird acting or down databases (at four customers) at the same moment.
    • Tuesday: Again two outages at two clients. One gave us a error-report, which has to be resolved until Wednesday noon, to prevent us from paying bills. To make the day successful, my car somehow hit the ground besides the street and I’m not (completely) mobile until monday evening. Insurance and mechanics are working on the case 😉
    • Wednesday: The error-report could be closed half an hour before we had to pay penalties. This afforded much of work from all of us and the re-surrection of long deprecated systems, because the customer has a very out-of-date version running. But we managed it in time, which I didn’t expect.
    • Thursday: They turned of our internal network-phone! I have no network-connector left near me, where they could plug in a default hardware phone, so somehow I got a Bosch DECT Phone. Don’t let you fool by the image on the link, on my phone “BOSCH” is printed instead of “Tenovis” on the phone, but the hardware is exactly the same. Perhaps Tenovis is or purchased Bosch. The mobility is a bit greater with this compared to my 2,5m headset line on the computer, but the speech quality is much worse.

    Today’s "Hit the Bush" differentstrings has a posting about how G.W.B. influences the ‘Iraq Intelligence’ Commission. It’s something helpful for a president who’s trying to get re-elected.
