BlogCast - Pilot Episode needs YOUR suggestion

... published November 19, 2007

BlogCast - On AirFor those of you who don’t visit Webmaster-Source a short information on what the hell I’m talking about in the headline:

Matt at Webmaster-Source started a new project which adds to his blog. This project is a podcast about blogging and webmastering as these podcasts are quite rare. After searching for a name and volunteers for his podcast he choose BlogCast as title.
I don’t know how many other people volunteered to be a guest in his podcast, but I do know that I received the honor to be his first guest in the pilot episode. I guess this is the right place to say thanks to Matt!

Back to the headline

It is easier and faster to quote Matt right away:

What Do YOU Want Us to Talk About?

Marco of Ruelicke.net and I will be talking about a blog-related topic on the upcoming pilot episode of BlogCast. The only problem is neither of us have decided on a topic yet. :D

So, here’s my question for all of you: What do you want us to talk about?

Is there something that you want to know more about? Leave a comment, and we’ll consider your idea.

Of course you are welcome to leave a comment on my blog, but it would be a little bit easier for us, if you also leave a comment at Webmaster-Source.

Argument at school ends in stabbing

17-year old injured after confrontation at vocational academy

Halle/MZ/jam/Ruelicke.net
Ambulance in front of the Blindow-AkademieA 17 year old female student of the Blindow-Berufsakademie was seriously injured by an 20 year old male classmate after a confrontation at the private school. As police spokesman Siegfried Koch said, the victim suffered from multiple cut and stab injuries at body and face. Also, the offender has to be treated at the hospital under observation - he has taken sleeping pills additionally to alcohol, after his own statement. It is still unclear what led to the bloody confrontation.

The principal of the Blindow-Akademie heard the screams of the 17 year old girl from the corridor in the school, so the police. “As he wanted to help her, he found her lying and bleeding in front of the entrance. The offender, who was standing next to her, had a firearm and a knife in his hands” said Koch. The police reacted to the emergency call at the vocational school at 13:00 local time with a large squad. The officers were equipped with bullet prove vests and machine guns. Koch justified: “We take such emergencies very serious.”

Yo, what’s up man? - Not much…

Yet another week passed with this blog being very quiet. So let me explain why I was so lazy had no time to write any kind of article.

Vacation

Happy Holidays…

…or vacations, which ever word you prefer.

This week I had vacations and I tried to enjoy them. I didn’t really succeed, but I didn’t fail either:
Originally I intended to stay away from the computer as much as possible, just to get some distance and to prove once more that I’m not computer or gaming addicted. At the end it turned out that I spent some time at the computer, mainly playing World of Warcraft and working on the homepage of Thorsten Kramer.

My vacations also helped to come up with some more ideas for articles, so stay tuned for them.

That’s all for now, I need to write some articles, if you excuse me…

Wait!

I almost forgot something:

Matt at Webmaster-Source announced that there will be a Webmaster-Source Podcast coming soon. He is currently looking for a title for said podcast and he is looking for a blogger willing to give an interview through Skype (or talk about some blogging-related subject). So have a look, maybe you are the one with the perfect name for the podcast…or you are one of those “on-air” with the podcast. (Yes, I told him I would be up for it.)

As I’m already talking about Webmaster-Source: Thanks, Matt, for having my blog on his list of “The Coolest Web Designs On The Planet“!

Goodbye, my loved Aladdin

... published October 7, 2007

Aladdin in 1999Dear Aladdin, rabbit of mine.
I knew you since 1999, back then you were so little, I feared I would hurt you when holding you in my hands or on my arm.

The day we met the first time was a great day. The sun was shining, the sky was blue, it was warm…a perfect Easter day and of course you were the best Easter gift I ever received.

Since then we developed an interesting relationship. Although you didn’t hate me, sometimes you were like a fury to me. Maybe not during the first days…but after a year or so you found it funny to try to bite me. You needed to taste a human, didn’t you? You also scratched me, but after all, you always enjoyed it when I pet you or when you got your food…

Aside our special relationship we had a lot of fun…if you had no fun, then I had some…like that one time we went to your yearly check at the vet. You tried to escape while we waited in the waiting room. You jumped out of the basket we used to carry you around. As you landed on the floor-stone you learned that you will slip on there, making it very easy for me to catch you again. Well, the others people laughed about that, as did I although I was surprised by your move…
Or the first time we had you at the vet. When we learned that you are female although another person said you would be male…

In the last few years we kinda prepared ourself for the day…the day which will sooner or later arrive, no matter what we do.

Today, about eight and a half years after we first met I got a call from my grandparents. My grandma told me that you and grandpa are at the vet because of a serious wound. I grabbed the keys, jumped into the car and drove to the vet. There I saw the wound…I don’t want to describe it…but I knew that it was bad.

We waited about an hour for our turn, just to receive the bad news. It is not possible to cure the wound as it was discovered too late. I wish you would have “told” us about that injury earlier because then we may have been able to save you…

The vet told us that there is only one option left and so she went ahead, narcotizing you to free you from the pain…

Everyone in my family are missing you. At least I know you don’t have pain anymore…yet I wish I could have been together with you for a longer time…

Thank you for the 8 1/2 years of fun, tears, fears and love.
Goodbye, Aladdin.
Goodbye my loved rabbit.
Goodbye, I love you.

Rest in Peace
Aladdin in 1999

Time is an evil thing…

... published September 19, 2007

Time is an evil thing especially when you have a lot of ideas for articles but not the time to pretype and to publish them.

I‘m trying my best but school takes up a lot of time right now. I just thought I let you know before you start to worry…
