On my never-ending search for the perfect desktop background, I discovered Stopped.’s wonderful Convergence set on flickr yesterday. So on my way home I used my crappy cellphone camera to take a few tunnel snapshots and turned them into what you see below with a little help from GIMP.
Hopefully I’ll bring my real camera next time… Feel free to use these images under the terms of Creative Commons BY-NC-SA 3.0.
Receiving the first spam comment after 7 days of operation I wondered about the global cost of spam once again. While google will provide a range of high random numbers (with a maximum of $200 billion per year) there’s also this little form that will allow you to compute your individual costs per spam. And by wasting the time to fill out the form you can increase your costs even further!
Unfortunately the form doesn’t cover spam filter tuning nor comment spam so it was not that much of a help after all.

I have been urged to release gpsopt – a broken little script to mess with your GPS track data. It can help if you want to visualize a really large track like, say, your complete holiday and your tool (e.g. Google Earth) cannot handle that much data.
Being fed up with my last-century under construction homepage I decided to switch to something that will:
- hopefully look good,
- be W3C standards compliant and open source,
- require less maintenance,
- and still provide some useful functionality.
So I chose to give WordPress a try and I really enjoy it so far.
