Am I the only one who thinks that people should not be singing or humming at 7 in the morning?

It’s unnatural. I am just barely awake at that time, waiting for the coffee to kick in, and hearing someone sing “I’ve been looking for freedom” is not helping. I am not even awake enough for a proper rant, dammit!

This reminds me, we’re out of coffee at the office, which has to be taken care of ASAP. But looking out the window, the weather is not really making me want to go outside. Time to choose between comfort and addiction…

I just found this link thanks to a post on Kuro5hin: http://www.bobandtom.com/gen3/title_song_windoid.html This is by far the funniest song I have heard for quite some time

This morning, I found my first grey hair. Actually, it was not just one. More like eleven. That got me thinking…

I am now almost 27, which means I will be 30 in less than 4 years. And I am still waiting for the day that I start to feel like an adult. Yes, I have a job and my own place, but I don’t feel “mature”, I just like being silly too much. And as Bridget Fonda said in Singles:

I think time is running out to do something bizarre.Somewhere around 25, “bizarre” becomes “immature.”

That does not mean that I am irresponsible, but when I was a kid, it always seemed that at some nebulous point in the future, poof, you’re an adult.

But, so far, no poofing. But I am not really complaining, I like being not totally mature.

And to celebrate my first grey hair, the plan of the evening is the Season 2 DVDs of “Sex and the City”, a slice of young Gouda, and a glass of 2000 Rioja.

Cheers.

At the moment, this site is still running with the default templates and the Trendy Style Sheet, but at least it’s functional, that’s what counts. So in the near future I’m gonna

• come up with a design of my own

• check out if there are any neat hacks I could integrate

• learn to write better ;-)

After showing nothing but a boring placeholder page for, well, ever, I finally decided what to do with this domain. Especially after the hoopla I’ve been through when the domain was almost deleted because my registrar went broke and didn’t pay the bills. The new company, that took over all the old assets, told me, that the swiss NIC is very difficult to deal with, and the best way would be to let the domain expire and re-register it. Not really believing that, I fired up a mail to their helpdesk, telling them that I want that domain back, that I would pay all due bills and that I want to be listed as the person who gets the bills. That was around 9pm. At 9am the next morning, I got a mail saying, “No problem, pay us the 35 Sfr, and all is cool”. It was more verbose and businesslike, but that’s what it boils down to. They even have a webform, where you can pay by credit card, which I did because it’s the fastet way. And the next thing I did was change the bill recipient to be me. So now this domain will be mine at least till June 2003. But, to make a long story short, I decided to install MovableType as my blogging engine, because it looked really neat, is written in Perl and was a breeze to set up. And if it’s good enough for Wil Wheaton, it’s good enough for me :-)
