There are linen sheets on my bed, it is Summer! more photos from trafal
It is Summer. This blog is taking a break.
What does that mean?
I love to write. I also love to write this very personal blog. It is that I just do not find myself in the personal-blogging space very often these [...]

I summarise the 2008 Birankai Spring Camp in Labaroche in one word: stress. It was my fourth year, and as every preceding year, it was different from all others. Three of us travelled for two hours from Berne to Labaroche on Saturday the 12th and returned on the 19th. In between I must confess that [...]

Thanks habi for the links. Great conversation was to be had on all fronts last night at Desperado as already mentioned by David, however grid computing is something that I forgot to mention and that is being worked on rather seriously these days in order to handle the mammoth amounts of data being produced by [...]

One look at my calendar for the next months and I am wondering where the 52 hour day is, and when will they find a cure for the need to sleep!
To air out my intoxicated brain I went for a walk today after I caught up with sleep. Just left the house and started walking [...]

It is Friday morning and LIFT has one more day and night to go according to the plans. I just woke up at one of the nicest addresses in town in a flat where one can easily get lost and am all happy that on my third year attending this conference I finally made it [...]

Thanks to a friendly email from Sarah I got a reminder that BarCamp Zurich is coming up on Saturday. I will have to disappoint the local firemen and not show up to something that would greatly honour them with my presence (cough… cough… yikes! who thinks up these wonderful form letter invitation formulations?) and head [...]

I am here in Zurich with a group of fantastic people looking into what blogs do and do not do.

Three months down the road in 2007, there is not much that I can conclude beyond my own perception, other than that change is taking place. Change is change, and I have taken it to call that these recent changes are good and leave me refreshed, although I would not generalize that all change is [...]

Had a short chat with my brother after I sent him the link to the video of my presentation at Lift07. Mind you, a video that took me days and several tries before I could watch it myself, at least in parts. It was a presentation that I was not happy with, [...]

I was told about this exhibit by Joan Schenkar now in the midst of giving her biography of Patricia Highsmith its last buffing. I am interested in it from the perspective of looking at a writer’s life and her work. I always wonder why is it that some of us [...]
