Who knows – maybe I’ve just found a topic that’s worth writing about…

It all began some months ago when we were discussing our favorite movies – and realized that everyone of us hasn’t seen at least a few of them yet. So we decided to start a list with all these “Films everybody needs to know”. But I should mention as a waring that this list is biased and just reflects the strange movie taste of my friends and me.

Last Friday we finally started with the first DVD session to watch “Mystery Science Theatre 3000″ and “Eric the Viking” – which I both watched for the first time.

I’m not giving the rest of list to you, as this is still “under contruction” – aka we still have to agree on some of the movies

Film	Year	crazy?	classic?	good?	notes
Erik the Viking	1989	9(10)	7(10)	7(10)	-
Mystery Science Theatre 3000	1988	12 (10)	7 (10)	6 (10)	completely nuts

It’s done! The big party of Carsten, Robert and me to celebrate our 90th birthday at the Knautschzone is history and l’d just like to say: It was great to party with all of you – and I hope you enjoyed it the same way as I did!
If you missed the party it’s your own fault. The party’s been a huge success and I can only summarize it by saying: If you still can remember what happend at the party – you probably haven’t been there

Even if I still haven’t got the time to start blogging about some interessting things, I’d like to give you a short update.
A couple of days ago there was a small change in the technical part of my blog: Ich changed the wordpress plug-in for multilanguage support. Now it’s a lot easier for me to just write a few lines in more than just one language – and additionally to that everybody can see in which languages a post exists.
I’ve been looking for a plug-in that I can use so easily for quite some time – maybe this is the reason why I’m so glad I found jLanguage.

After a way too loooooong time I finally competed again in a Triathlon. Everything was great: the weather, the fun as well as the result. But again by now I can only point you to the official homepage until I find the time to write something from my point of view. Hang loose!

… for the 10th time the “Next Generation Kinder- und Jungendtriathlon” took place in Aachen. Until there is a more detailed report from me take a look at the official hompage.

Let’s see how it feels to be a triathlete (again) – as in “you’re only a triathlete if you’re doing triathlon”.
It’s been way too long since I last jumped into a lake for a little bit of swimming, went cycling and finished the job with a fast run… but I’ll find out again, as I applied for the Stockelache Triathlon 2007.

… I’ve been to Sweden again and it was just coooool! If you’d like to find out more about the SOF 2007 you can have a look at the official homepage, maybe this helps you to fill the gap until I’ll write a few lines myself.

Hello everybody – I’m still alive, but as I don’t have much time blogging there are just a few “headlines” for you the next couple of weeks as a proof of live.

I will try to start to fill these headlines one by one, but don’t expect too much from me, as there are a lot of more important things than blogging.

One thing I’d liked to start for the last couple of months was writing my blog in German and English.
Right now I’m still sort of testing how to do it best. There are a couple of wordpress plugins that seem to offer some sort of multilanguage support – but until today I neither had the time for this sort of thing nor found any of the plugins’ decriptions convincing enough to give them a try. Gengo might by now be approriate to my needs and as it’s compatible with the current wordpress version I decided to just try it. What’s allready working: You get displayed the postings in the language according to your browser’s configuration (at the moment either English or German) or in the blog’s default language (English). Maybe I’ll start trying out some more gimmicks in the next few days.
So stay tuned and (maybe) enjoy my blog in German and English from now on.

[Update: 2007-07-20] I recently found out about jLanguage and I think it’s a great plug-in, so I switched from gengo. I think it’s the perfect solution for my needs, as it just offers what I was looking for: A very simple way of providing multi language support! And it even has got those tiny flags out of the box! I’m impressed so I can only recommend jLanguage.

Only a short notice for you: There will be no more posts on this page until March – as I’m preparing for an important examination at the moment.
