New Commenting Policy?
In the recent weeks, I have gotten quite a bit of not-quite-but-nearly-totally-spam-that-duisguises-really-well. As a result, I removed my DoFollow plugin. But I don’t really like that solution. I think I might change my approach and make a new commenting policy rule. A quite simple one at that: Every comment that uses some kind of product [...]
WordPress Themes have to be GPL (Thesis etc.)
Well, my comment at the Thesis blog is “awaiting moderation” for over 2 weeks, so I guess it won’t happen anymore. Unsurprisingly so, I might add. The folks at Thesis are apparently, essentially, doing illegal things. The only reason why they can do it is because nobody sues them. First things first: WordPress themes are [...]
NaN votes for Obama!
The US citizens have their voting machines, us here in Switzerland have our big media. Since they’re so much more professional than us bloggers (yep, they are, I have the links to prove it, in German), I’m sure they can tell us the current standings when it comes to the US election? Of course they [...]

It went remarkably smooth, considering the horror stores I read (link German, click the links in that post for more) – as a matter of fact, everything seems to work as it should again. I’ll take this opportunity to list [...]
Google Chrome Roundup
Here goes the second round of my Google Chrome review, mainly consisting of links to news and discussions. Chrome Phone Home Maybe you heard (I hear it was even on TV?) that Chrome loves E.T. and likes to phone home. Yes, it does, but not that much more so than other browsers: Google’s Matt Cutts [...]
Google Chrome
Google Chrome is what must be the most written-about browser, ever – it’s hard not to write about it in your blog, peer pressure and all. Announced just Monday, and in blogs and big media alike from the moment it started. It is special though, admittedly, has several unique approaches that make checking it out [...]
Circumventing Google’s Monopoly
I just wrote this as a comment as an answer to a post on Meinungsfreiheit.li about the Google monopoly – and I think it might fit here too. His point was that Google is collecting data from everywhere, about everyone, and while that’s well-known for some time, there are working countermeasures too. The Problem A [...]
