Yesterday the "fool jump" took place here in Weissensberg. Below are some impressions.

• Keine Scherze: Punkte fürs Telefonieren und Falschparken, Zur Kasse, Bürger [stern.de]
• ByteTorrent, 800% faster than BitTorrent [Don Park]

Read this article about the serious origins of April Fool's Day. 

I like it as a search engine. But that does not mean, I love it in the real meaning of the word. Yesterday (!) just a few hours before the end of the ASP-Conference at Munich/Aufkirchen I was surprise the following to see as I opened my browser to visit a interesting site:

I recently found the reason for that effect, but dunno how I get the file on my machine. I scanned today with McAfee and Ad-Aware without any success (happy about that, but does not answer my question). The reason was a file in the Google program folder named ggext1.dll. If I just remove the file (reinstallation of the googlebar does not help), the effect goes away.

Then I saw that picture at google.com:

 

and received some links of other bloggers from Dare Obasanjo: Jeff Key or also Julia Lerman and now I have the idea where it comes from   But it was really unexpected yesterday (not valentine's day) and I would like they would only modify their own site and let my machine and applications in my hands...

... and after that meal having a beer from Germany make you happy...

Found via Daypop Top 40: the Gender Genie. After applying some tests with blogs I read it seems to be use the Random() function. What a joke

Rarely so laughed: found on Carnage4Life this Matrix Reloaded Review (taken from here). Meant not the post, but the translation provided by Altavista Babel Fish. Here is the original:

"This movie is a pillowcase with soda cans inside that beats the living mule-fuck out of you but you're all like, 'Bring it on honky tonk' because the beating feels like summer and Halloween and Cheetos at the same time. This movie is Mad Max's shotgun-gun from ROAD WARRIOR, only it shoots ass-kicking only at jocks. This movie is tits!"

and here is the funny german translation:

"Dieser Film ist ein Kissenbezug mit Sodadosen Innere, das das lebende Maultier-bumsen aus Ihnen heraus schlägt, aber alle Sie wie sind, ' holen Sie es auf honky tonk ', weil das Schlagen wie Sommer und Halloween und Cheetos gleichzeitig glaubt. Dieser Film ist Schrotflinte-Gewehr wütenden Maximums VOM STRASSE WARRIOR, nur er das Esel-Treten nur auf jocks schießt. Dieser Film ist Tits!"
