weather chaos NR.1 - 2007

I think words can't explain what is happening right now right here. Weather is so crazy. Yesterday we had 16°C and today I can't reach my home by car because the roads are blocked by snow and broken trees on the street- so i had to walk. Here are some pictures. They were taken between 9:00AM and 04:30PM in chronological order.

See how fast chaos is:

I will post some pictures tomorrow to show you how the chaos goes on.

Form 16 to 0


Snow.
Yesterday afternoon it was enough to wear a T-Shirt now you need a lot more. It snows again. We have a temperature difference of 16°C between yesterday and now! Weather is really scary sometimes!
When I left home this morning it started to rain, but now it is snowing. It snows like crazy. Snow even starts to cover the streets and plants outside.
I wanted to put summer tires on my car this weekend- I am glad that I didn't do so.

I hate the weather...

mail me python!!!

It's there!!! - the book I ordered.
"Object oriented programming with python"

Ok, sounds boring, but for me it is something really great!
I staterted playing around with smtplib. Finally I managed to wirte mails using my own console application! It looks so cool when you're writing mails in a console window.

Green on Black - I will posta screenshot here soon!

Maybe you think this is very uncomfortable, but in fact it is lot easier and faster than using any complex applikation with a great gui and lot's of cool, but never used, functions. This thing I wrote simply writes mails. First it ask you for your email, the recipient's email and the subject. Then you write your mail text press return twice and that's it!
Every thing runs in text-mode. It looks something like this

>FROM: webmaster@the-engine.at

then...

>TO: webmaster@the-engine.at

then...

>SUBJECT: TestMail

and finally...

>MESSEGE: This is my testmessege..... may the force be with you!!! lg salendron.

and that's it!
What do you need more? Ok attachments! This will be a bigger challenge, but I think I will be able to implement it, but first I will implement a client for recieving mails. I am so excited! I love playing god for 1 and 0.

ring ring.... What's your name?


Why is it...

Ok image your telephone rings. What is the first thing you usually say to the one on the other side?

"Salendron...." - Exactly your name!
Maybe you say "Hello! Salendron...." - But this doesnt really make a difference!

It looks like the "ring ring" is something like a synonym for "What's your name?".

Maybe this happens just in my country - I don't know, but today it was the first time when I realized how strange this is.

uhuuu.... uhuuuu.....

No, I am no owl or big foot or a bear called bruno, even if some people think so. I told them that I was doing some photos in the wood this weekend. HDR-Experiments.
They started joking around. Sometimes I do some strange things., like making noises like "uhuuu" at work. Don't ask me why - I am a strange person.
So they told me that it is very dangerous for me to go into a forrest because maybe a hunter wants to shoot me because he thinks I am an owl and when he recognizes that I am not he may think I am big foot because of my big feet and when I tell him that my name is Bruno he might shoot me because he thinks I am a bear.
Great!

salendron the inventor


First of all - I do not look like this!

Yesterday I was called "little inventor". I tihnk it was sarcastic. I like sarcasm.

...I am no inventor. I am just a bit megalomaniac...

I hope I find one.

they are comming (BACK)!

Remember this? Right! This is a Commodere C-64. One of the first PCs.
But, what happened to the company Commodore in the last years? In fact, I don't know, but today I found an article in which it said that Commodere is planning a comeback! HighEnd gaming PCs! I don't know much more about it, but the official homepage - http://www.commodoregaming.com/ - is really funny!

my personal war

We are the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no great war, or great depression. Our great war is a spiritual war. Our great depression is our lives. We've all been raised by television to believe that one day we'll all be millionaires and movie gods and rock stars -- but we won't. And we're learning slowly that fact.

- Tyler Durden -


It might sound strange, but fight club was a movie which gave me a lot of things to think about. Ok it was a crazy movie, with a lot of surreal strange and funny things, but there is bad taste of truth in it.
I have never been in any really great trouble. I mean something life-changing. I never did something big. Big like something that changes history! I live my life and my biggest problem is the rushhour on my way home!

There is no challenge!

--- listening to Salive 800 ---

Got yourself believing in something
Got myself believing in nothing
And man you're going down
Make yourself a God
I know who you are

--- END LYRIC ---

Sounds like speaking to myself.
Today a colleague gave me the biographie of Linus Torvalds. I just read a few sentences - it's funny - but in some way it frustrates me. This freak from Finland really made it. He changed the whole IT-World with his idea. I slowly begin to feel to old to have such an outstanding idea to change anything. - But I think I am to megalomaniac to stop trying.

me and the olsen twins


Ok, they aren't really the olsens. In fact they aren't even twins, but I use to call them like this, because they are looking like twins - not like olsen - absolutly not like the olsens, but I forgot their real names.

It is shocking to see how long you can go to the university studiing informatic without knowing any about IT basics! Helping them with the easiest things is really frustrating.

damn.
