Default Template

Leave a reply

As SixApart has announced their new pricing scheme for MovableType 3 (which I incidentally read about on the WordPress Dev-Blog), I am quite glad I didn’t install MovableType.
The “fear” of a multitude of default WordPress templates popping up in many places may be well-founded, but I moved before that 😉 (and plan on changing the template eventually — I still need to integrate some static pages (vStrip / Wavelet Kompressor most prominently) — the same goes for ev1l.net which replaces the stolen log0.org).

Moving is (NOT) fun!

Seems like the server move has happened… Still are things very preliminary around here (and knowing myself will probably only get better very slowly), and most content is still offline.
In any case, I’ve gotten rid of Strato, which is reason enough to celebrate. Email probably is (was?) flakey, so apologies for that. Not that the 183 virii that got bounced care…

Gunslinger Girls

I have finally taken the time to watch the last four episodes of this show, and it is one of the very few series I have seen recently where the ending perfectly suits the series. It has a sad undertone — which is evident throughout (by concept as well as by execution) — and quite cleverly avoids the mistake of having to have a “big bang action finale”. All throughout, the artwork is very good and pays huge amounts of attention to tiny details.
Recommended, but beware of the leisurely pace.

A septocycle At the hotel were some of my colleagues and I play squash (which doesn’t kill my joints as much as it used to after I had gotten proper shoes) we found this “septocycle”. Didn’t know things like that existed…

Hellboy / Dawn of the Dead

If you’re looking for a (properly) scary movie, I can very much recommend the new “Dawn of the Dead”. I’ve also seen “Hellboy” and found it to be well-entertaining, but as I have never seen the comics I cannot really comment on the conversion.
