I'm not dead...
…but digitally handicapped. In case you're wondering why I don't post here. It currently seems like all my stuff somehow breaks.
My hard drive died earlier this week, so my main computer isn't usable currently.
My EeePC has weird WiFi problems which seem to be driver related. Any help would welcome.
Ah and my government completely lost its mind, which isn't keeping me from posting yet, but makes me so angry that concentrating is somewhat hard sometimes1).
So, instead of doing anything useful or posting here, I spend my spare time with watching TV or playing Playstation 3…

no link here, I'm so sick of this whole thing that I don't want to look for and read about the whole bullshit again – just ask in the comments and one of my reader will probably explain
1Cheer up ... I had trouble with my NAS and compensated with finally finishing GTA IV on my xBox 360 ... yes, I'm a MS fanboy ... so hate me ;)

2So what's up with this government thingy? :) Sorry, had to ask ;) Cheer up! I'm wasting most of my time with my PSP instead of doing whatever productive off-work. You're not alone! :D

3It all began with the the ministry of family affair, which discovered the "war against childp*rn in the internet" (as election campaign subject).
So they forced most of the ISP to sign a contract about internet filters. The filter lists are confidental and are created by the BKA (similar to the FBI in some way), without anyone else's controll.
After that a law was pushed through. The law itself does not include the the term of "childp*rn" anymore. It's a more general law to filter the internet for german users.
While most of the politics still recall the intended use, others are going straight forward to gambling ... The game's just begon.
(That's it in very short form.)

5What annoys me the most is that all experts agree that this law will *not help* one single child affected by child pr0n, will not get the bad guys prosecuted, will not affect the main distrubution channels at all and will make finding CP on the web even *easier*! o.O Either they are completely mental and just plain stupid. Or it is true and they really only introduced this law as a pretext.
