Censorship in China censors the world

... OK, not completely ;-)

But there was a misconfigured DNS-server of the Chinese BigCensorFirewall which produces problems in the USA and Chile...

Virtualbox USB in Ubuntu Lucid

Although Lucid has replaced HAL you'll still need it to use USB in Virtualbox.

Interesting how interesting...

a 6b in free climbing can be!
Because the local climbing center has been bulging this evening, Martin and I found a free place between some 4s. I've been really surprised how sophisticated this 6b route is.
From now on this will be my favorite in this range ;-)

Music MP3 album download more expensive than CD buy?

I'd like to download the new Wallis Bird album "New Boots" and pay for it.
But the CD costs in Media Markt and at Amazon 9,99 EUR and 7digital claims 10,99 EUR for the download.
Apple sells the downloadable album in iTunes for 8,99 EUR. Well, cheaper, but I don't accept that value by comparison to the CD price.
Won't these guys become wiser?

Innsbruck in whiteout

... or the winter is back ;-)

After some weeks with sun, temperature raise, birds' twittering and colors of spring this morning you see snow again.
It's currently snowing. Sidewalks and streets are white.
