I'm scared ^H^H^H happy ... ;)

  (Thursday, February 22. 2007)
Don't get me wrong I am really looking forward to work in Paris but until NOW I don't have any information where I have to go. I won't have internet access in my apartment beginning tomorrow morning. I don't have tickets for planes nor hotel reservations. I am not addicted to the Internet - I can stop any time *shiver*! EVERYTHING WILL WORK! :D

There is only ONE good thing actually! Because I will leave Germany and take everything with me I cancelled my GEZ membership. The GEZ is the German "GebuehrenEinzugsZentrale" and is a Mafia HH^H government institution to steal your money for TV and Radio stuff you don't use.

New external 400GB USB2 harddisk drive

  (Friday, February 16. 2007)
Da ich seit mehr als zwei Jahren fast ausschliesslich mit meinem Notebook arbeite, dessen Festplattenkapazitaet (60 GB Platte) aber relativ beschraenkt ist, und ich nicht zuletzt die Notebook-Platte etwas schonen moechte, da sie in den vergangenen zwei Jahre einiges mitgemacht hat, habe ich mich dazu entschlossen mir einen neuen externen Speicher zu besorgen.

Ich habe mich letztendlich fuer eine 400GB USB2-Platte von ChiliGREEN entschieden, da ich bereits gute Erfahrungen mit den ChiliGREEN Platten gemacht habe und ich mir dem Kosten-/Leistungsverhaeltnis sehr zufrieden bin. ChiliGREEN bietet auch Platten an, welche sowohl einen USB2- als auch einen LAN-Anschluss bieten (eine einfaches NAS also), was mich zuerst auch gereizt hat, allerdings habe ich mich dann doch zu einer reinen USB2-Loesung gegriffen, weil die NAS-Loesung bei gleicher Kapazitaet logischerweise teuer ist - mir die Kapazitaet aber wichtig war - und ich vor hatte die Platte mit Hilfe von Truecrypt zu verschluesseln.

Welcome Vista - Goodbye Windows

  (Tuesday, February 6. 2007)
Peter Gutmann wrote a nice paper called "A Cost Analysis of Windows Vista Content Protection" in which he describes the Windows Vista's built-in content protection mechanisms and the considerable costs which are caused by these protections.

I'm going to quote several interesting sentences of his paper:
Providing this protection incurs considerable costs in terms of system performance, system stability, technical support overhead, and hardware and software cost. These issues affect not only users of Vista but the entire PC industry, since the effects of the protection measures extend to cover all hardware and software that will ever come into contact with Vista, even if it's not used directly with Vista (for example hardware in a Macintosh computer or on a Linux server)

One month to go!

  (Thursday, February 1. 2007)
Okay now it is only one month to go! I need to realize that I will leave Germany and start a new life in France...
I am in an ongoing French learning course and hope to understand the simple sentences I will need to survive in France. Luckily I have friendly co-workers who are already helping me with different things.

I found someone to be the next tenant of my apartment who will buy all my stuff like closet, desk, double-bed etc. This is great because I was afraid to get no money for it and only trash it ...
