I have nothing to say, really.

Fuck off.

Week 3

Don’t tell me I didn’t warn you – in fact, most of the days were so uneventful that I don’t even remember them now, just a couple of days ago.

Alfred App

I have (finally?) switched from Quicksilver to Alfred. Since I just use those as application launchers and mostly ignore their advanced features, the change was completely transparent to my daily workflow. In fact, someone could have changed them for me and I would probably have not noticed. Except that Alfred yet has to close itself at random times, something that Quicksilver was prone to do to lately.

Moo Facebook Cards

I got my Facebook Moo cards. Fun!

Alcatraz

I have given Alcatraz a chance – it’s the new TV series by J.J. Abrams and has the pretty interesting premise that the last batch of prisoners on Alcatraz somehow vanished in 1963 and now return one by one, going back to being murderers. The first two episodes weren’t bad but nothing too special – I’ll keep watching, in the hope that the “murderer of the week” type of episodes weave a nice mythology arc.
Oh, and it has Parminder Nagra who I’ve liked since Bend it like Beckham.

Oh, and Sam Neill.

Or: The nerds are back in town

As someone who snaps out of the zone pretty easily working two weeks without any real distraction was a pretty good thing which ended on that Friday when they came back. 1

Ladies

I don’t know.

I bought Onigiri again and fed one to my sister, who was crashing at my place, as she tends to do when she goes to her courses in Düsseldorf.

The Minecraft bug bit me again, so I basically was digging around on our server all day.


  1. And as I said in my inception post a couple of weeks ago: it’s nothing personal, I just prefer to work in solitude, with random breaks of socializing (which does include proper meetings, not just watercooler stuff) in between. (See also.

50 Moo-Karten für quasi umsonst

moo.com, die grandiosen Visitenkartendrucker meiner Wahl, bieten im Moment eine Aktion an, bei der man ein 50er-Päckchen Visitenkarten gratis bestellen kann. Zwar ist dann ein kleiner Hinweis auf den Karten, daß diese von moo.com stammen, und die Versandkosten trägt man auch selbst, in meinen Augen ist das aber durchaus vertretbar.

Mash-Up

Ganz wunderbar: Mooplr, ein Mash-Up der APIs von Dopplr und Moo.1 [via]

  1. Sagt man eigentlich noch Mash-Up? Oder sagen das nur noch Marketingfutzis ohne Ahnung? []

MOO-Visitenkarten

Es ist ja immer ganz süß, die MOO-Karten zu verteilen, ab und an ist es aber Zeit, etwas klassischeres zu haben – und auch da wird MOO in Zukunft helfen. Yay. [via]

Moo!

Sehr hübsche Idee: (Relativ kleine) Visitenkarten mit Flickr-Photos. Als Flickr-Pro-Mitglied kann man 10 Stück umsonst bestellen. Habe ich gleich mal gemacht und werde berichten. [via BoingBoing]
