This is where I live. (The page may be somewhat out of date)
This is a community page for my friends and me. Includes
news, events and a gallery. (Content mostly in German language).
A list of links to my friends that can be found in the "me" section
of this page.
culture
Plinko is Jenni, Heather, and Bertine. It's also 404lab,
creamedpeas, chocolatemussolini, bertine and runawaytruck.
This is a creative project, diary, whatever - too bad there's
no rss to keep me up to date.
This is Jenni of plinko.net. Although I deeply mistrust
people who consume tofu-based meat replacement products,
or use words like "superawsome", it's quite good.
Quote: Not pretty is an effort to reclaim the role of the
antagonist, to show no one is ever always right or wrong,
no matter how well intended. While the whole point of the page
is to dwell on one's shortcomings, these are well written stories.
This is about a house/tech house event that my friend Patrick and
I run semi-regularly at a student club in Karlsruhe. (Content in
German language).
Not another blog. The girl can write, and I like her view on life.
Tired of spam as you know it? Now you can have it read to
you by a friendly computer voice round the clock. Including
nice background music.
online services
A very good, large German-English/English-German dictionary. They
also have a Mozilla sidebar and a "bookmarklet" that allow for quick
access.
An encyclopedia based on a WikiWiki software. Every user can
contribute to the encyclopedia, and all content is available under
the GNU Free Documentation License. Some areas still need a little
work, but it is already quite vast and often suprisingly in-depth.
software
Chances are you already know the mozilla web suite. It is
essentially the same software as Netscape, contains an excellent
web browser and email client, is free software and under constant
development. I recommend it to view this page.
This free software has essentially the same features as the
Microsoft Office suite, without the price tag. It still lacks
some of the polishing that the Microsoft products have, but it's
very usable and is able to read from and write to
Word/Power Point/Excel/... files. The comercial retail version,
StarOffice, includes better spell checking and more clip art.
This is for all who are missing their *nix tools when working with
the Windows operating system. This includes almost all common
unix tools, from the bash shell and the TeX system up to a fully
woking implementation of XFree86.
