Bad luck on Good Friday

Today, my Philips 170B TFT screen unexpectedly ceased working and I doubt I will see a spontaneous resurrection on Easter sunday ;) At least its three-year-warranty is still valid..

cu @ cebit :)

i’ll be at the cebit (hanover.de) from mars 19 to 21.

* if you happen to be there too, please notify me via mobile/sms: (deleted).
* if you want me to take some pictures of a particular device that is shown at cebit, just add a comment to this entry (notifications about must-see events or gadgets are welcome too :). i’ll post the pics on this blog.
* if you’re a friend of mine and you want me to buy there sth on behalf of you, just tell me so and i’ll see what i can do.

i’m im’ing now ;)

icq: 196122009 (thanx to stephan for tips). ids of other im providers will eventually follow. i know that i already have a msn id (iirc “h2o_ch”) (“thanx” to windows xp product activation), but i did not use it so far (i guess it’s not supported with my current im client). i also set up an icq account long ago, but unfortunately i don’t remember its id/credentials (r.i.p.). further, as soon as i got my powerbook i will create an id for the aol im (as this is supported by ichat). btw the powerbook will be shipped with mac os x 10.3 “panther” included :)

currently, sim doesn’t work as expected yet (my server-side contact list isn’t available and i doubt i can be contacted at all). might have to do with my firewall. beg your patience.

[update 20031013: it was a client problem. now i’ve rebuilt sim from cvs sources and it seems to work fine]

meeting.bloggers.zh.ch

a cool idea and for me as a “newbie”-b/change/whatever-logger yet another premiere :) i’ve learned about window-less (no typo ;) offices, multiple organ and server failures, different views on the matter of blogging and other things. of course we had some lively serious discussions too. all in all a nice, spontaneous evening with a bunch of amusing, open-minded folks. i’m looking forward to meeting you (and next time hopefully more) apostles again, irmgard, alma, ingo, sascha, martin and ben!

(note: as this was a blogger event i think blogging about it is ok. if however you have any privacy concerns, just drop me a line (mettlerd at numlock dot ch) and i will remove this entry)
