Ever since I got rid of the feature to let anyone quickly comment on my entries, which I did because I was getting thousands of spam comments, no one has posted in my comments section. I had changed it so that you had to sign up with TypeKey, which isn’t too hard. But apparently no…

23 Hours of Panic
I had just abut finished cleaning last night, when I noticed that a new beta version of MovableType is now available. I decided I would upgrade to it in a little while, until I saw that one of the “32 Favorite Features in Movable Type 3.2” is “Easiest Upgrade Ever.” There’s even a short flash…
Cleaning
I’ve been cleaning all day. Well, that’s an overstatement… You know me! But I’ve done quite a bit today, including washing and then hanging up a bunch of curtains, cleaning two windows, mopping about every floor surface in the apartment, taking out a lot of trash and cans, and cleaning the toilet.

The Last Week
I’ve reached the last week of my stay in Vienna this summer. I’m really looking forward to get back to the States and, after another four weeks of waiting, starting up in Syracuse again. These past few days have been pretty good. Kerstin’s back in Vienna, and her presence improves Vienna ten-fold. I went to…

A Little Too Close to the Beef
I actually got my appetite back this evening. Too bad I lost it shortly after. I found a frozen brick of beef gulasch and heated it up. Unfortunately noticed shortly after the first few bites that there was a piece with a capillary sticking out of it. Thus my appetite disappeared again. My mood is…
Wake Me Up When August Ends
I wish the damn summer would end already. I’ve been experiencing summer for something like nine weeks now. The past week was great, a story best told by the 84 photos taken during it. Friday night ended on a confusing/depressing note for me though, and I ended up pondering about my life until around five…
