Giving praise to the Nokia E70 must never stop. Since it appeared on this planet in May 2006, it is the killer of all. As thebestpageintheuniverse says: "Your iPhone is a piece of shit and so is your face" compared to my E70, which could probably even revive Michael Jackson.

Here the grafik stolen from bestpage:


What I achieved today reaches a solid 1000 on my personal geekness scale. I bought joikuspot which is a - legen-waitforit-dary WIFI HOTSPOT for symbian os. Yes, it uses the builtin Wifi functionality of the E70 (rocking, eh? wifi in your phone 2006!) as a hotspot instead of a client. To be precise, as a wifi p2p connection.

Alas, I am now sitting with my Apple laptop here, my phone next to me and enjoying a zeroconf-like connection to the internet. No bloody bluetooth, no labyrinthesk setup of modem over bluetooth over serial over your grandmas bra. Just plain old "wifi network name, WEP key, GO". That includes you, my friend. next time you drop by and need web with your laptop but don't have one ready, I am there for you.

OMG OMG. I mean, the last years, all these days when we did street art and mobile clubbings, permanent breakfasts, etc - now with that access point - multiple people can upload shit to the web in parallel. everywhere. This was what I always wanted: a small battery powered device you put into a room, press a button, say "this room now got internet, welcome to the future". With no bloody WIFI UMTS usb dongle. Next thing, they will implement beaming for the E70.

Ok, but the reason for my enthousiasm is, that next, I am going to buy the amnazing http://www.eye.fi/. That is, a whopping SD card with Wifi client - get the picture? Take a picture, press "protect" on the cam, the SD card uses TCP/IP to connect to a service at eye.fi, which then uploads the pic directly from the fat32 filesystem of your camera to flickr. awesomeness, here I come...

Die Clubveranstalter meines Vertrauens, frohlocker.de, haben einen neuen mix gekocht. Frisch am start auf der Frohlocker homepage "Floorrocker"

Schon runtergezogen, versüßt mir das Arbeitsklima hier.

Ich bin auch tiefst berührt über meinen verfrühten Tod in Kaiserslautern, der von den Frohlockoren beklagt wurde:
Btw. ein leidiges Ding wäre da noch. Unser hochgeschätzter Discotiger und FrohlockerSuperfotograf, Freund und Ehemann, also nicht unserer aber einer der reizenden Ingrid, aslo nicht einer sondern der, einzige, versteht sich, ist verschieden. Aus Lautern verschieden. Lebendig begraben in der Tristess, Melancholie und bisweilen der Inzest verschrieenen Stadt Wien. Aber wir werden sein Andenken in Ehren halten und Ihn sooft es geht dort besuchen, um ordenlich clubben zu gehen!
danke leo für die lustige Zeit mit Dir, auf Wiedersehen, küss die Hoand!
Oh mei, oh mei, ihr habt ja leider mit allem Recht. Wäre ich doch nie weggegangen :-(. Die Party ist vorerst aus, die Sperrstunde hat angefangen. Jetzt wird geschafft und dick das Business gemacht, "go to work" ist das Motto des Tages und "we make money, not art". Aber holt mich mal raus, kommt vorbei und zeigt mir wieder das Clubben!
Wünsche euch Gottes fetten Segen und die frohlockersten Parties der Welt, euer, euch liebender, Partytiger.

We are now settled in vienna. Here are more pictures: http://www.flickr.com/photos/leobard/sets/72157620712684742/



Had my first day at my new job: being founder of www.gnowsis.com. went good.

still unsure about my identity, I really like being European, having stayed in Germany for five years and travelling to ~50 places opened my mind. So I pick: Auslandsösterreicher auf längerem Heimaturlaub. I will also keep blogging under the category "neue Heimat", which I started five years ago for germany.

Yesterday night we arrived at Vienna, back from exactly 5 years in Kaiserslautern. Today, on 1st July, the moving truck brought our stuff and the professionals carried it up to our new flat.

We went to Kaiserslautern on 3rd July 2004, here is the mo-blog post from back then (with pictures):

No pictures so far, I just bought "one internet" at the supermarket (hsdpa prepaid modem + 2gb for 54€, from yesss.at ok). Will read my mail tomorrow. Too tired to do more today, see you.

For Ingrid and me, a new adventure: Vienna... (although we grew up here, its a new part of life...)

Thats it! We escape from Kaiserslautern. On Saturday, 20th June 2009 we celebrated our last night-out in Kaiserslautern. We leave for good, we leave for Vienna.

Thanks to all the people who joined Ingrid and me at the party. Michael and Gunnar and Martin cooked an excellent mix of curries, pakoras, and other dishes. Henning and Maria brought icecream, Sebastian another dessert. Dominik and Nora brought salads, Jochen a nice tapas "rolled bacon with dates". And more. Everyone enjoyed eating the resulting menu.




I decorated and rearranged the flat a bit to accomodate more people and have a nice look.



As surprise cultural event, I decided to put up a street-bar. At 23:00 about half of the partygoers went down to the street and built a bar from 10 banana boxes (we have 70 of them around here for moving). On the bar we had chips, wine, and spirits.



It attracted the right people


That went really well, later on we put down the bar again and went to fruchthalle to watch some tango dancing and other things.



That got boring after a while and we got a tip from someone performing that the Urban Biwak should be nice, so we went on:


At this time, things get a bit blurry and not all stories must be told...


It all ended classically in Gusto, with a hard group of Gunnar, Max, Rinne, and me.


Thanks to everyone for making this the great escape, it couldn't have been better. I will miss you guys! See you in Vienna.
