Getting Things Done

Yes, I know. I didn’t blog for some time now. Sorry!

I stumbled across Getting Things Done today. It’s a self-management method invented by David Allen. As I’m currently having my term’s exams (again ;-)), I didn’t have the time to take a closer look. Although what I read about it looked quite promising.

OpenCola

We had your monthly Linux Usergroup Fulda meeting yesterday. As always, it was nice. ;-) Simon brought some presents for us: Homebrew OpenCola! It’s a recipe for mixing the popular soft drink. The best thing is: It’s under the GPL!

Get the recipie here ...

Visited Hamburg

I’ve been visiting Hamburg for two days (Sunday and Monday) lately. It was great. It’s been a while since I last visited the city. (I think it must be about four years or something) Surprisingly not much changed, at least the at the places I visited again. I’ve also had the chance to meet Christian, with whom I’m working on nightwish.com for some time now. Together we went to see, among others, Tarot at the Earthshaker Roadshock. I really enjoyed it. The venue (Markthalle) was quite small but yet very nice (okay … the air conditioning sucked) and the bands rocked the stage. Can’t wait to get there again. :-)

Microsoft is Dead

I just finished reading this article by Paul Graham. It’s quite interesting so take a look at it!
