Photography, Software and more…
I got my free Signing Stick this week, paid by the Luxembourgish government. I can now identify myself on public service websites as well as digitally sign all my mails and documents.
Unfortunately, I ran into a few problems when I tried to activate it on my Ubuntu machine. After a few tries and an unsuccessful call to the helpdesk, I finally got it to work. Here’s a small step-by-step guide:
I recently made a trip to Munich to visit Marc and Philip. I’ve never been to Munich before, so it was quite interesting. The photo gallery that I set up contains a few impressions that I captured during the three days that I stayed there. Among other things, I visited the Olympiapark, the BMW-Welt, the English Garden, the Garching Campus of the Technical University of Munich as well as several parts of the inner city.
After waiting about 10 weeks I finally got my brand new car: a Škoda Fabia Greenline (1.4 TDI DPF/59 kW). As its name suggests it is designed to be economical and environmentally-friendly. Its CO2 emissions do not exceed 109 g/km while only consuming 4.1l/100km (that is, according to the ads). Continue reading ‘Škoda Fabia Greenline’
On March 1 I went to the Stereophonics concert at the cosy Kulturfabrik. Even though I don’t know many of their songs, I really had a good time. My favourite moment was near the end of the concert when Kelly Jones, the lead singer of the band, performed “Maybe Tomorrow” solo. For a few seconds the entire crowd went silent and then rushed back into rapturous applause… fabulous!
Nodeems ech leschte Mëttwoch a mengem Kommentar “Souvill zur Informatiounspolitk zu Lëtzebuerg” kritiséiert hat wéi lächerlech ondétailéiert de Communiqué war deen de CASES-Service vum Wirtschaftsministère erausginn hat, ass elo och eng Reaktioun op politeschem Plang ze spieren:

An enger Pressematdeelung huet de Websécherheets-Service vum Wirtschaftsministère (och bekannt ënner Kéis CASES oder kuerz “Cyberworld Awareness Security Enhancement Structure”) haut matgedeelt, dass ee “renomméierte lëtzebuergeschen Internet-Site” mat engem Trojaner infizéiert war. Esouwäit näischt spektakuläres, esou eppes kënnt alt emol vir. Mee: Continue reading ‘Souvill zur Informatiounspolitk zu Lëtzebuerg… [2. Update]‘
… which is why I finally decided to update and replenish it, so go check it out. If you think any significant information is missing, let me know. The portfolio currently only includes only web sites and web based software. Details about other projects like spellchecker.lu are not in there yet.
Today I have finally received my Bachelor diploma. (Yeah!)
Just wanted to let you know. 
Version 7 of Internet Explorer has now been around for a few months, but many users still use older versions. Here are a few reasons why I think drastic measures are necessary to force users to upgrade. Continue reading ‘Webpages should no longer be developed for Internet Explorer 6′
CASES-Communiqué: Äntwert vum Minister Jeannot Krecké
Virun e puer Wochen hat ech iwwert e Communiqué vum CASES-Service an iwwert d’Reaktioun an der Chamber geschriwwen. Virun enger knapper Woch ass elo eng Äntwert vum zoustännege Minister Jeannot Krecké komm. Wéi ugekënnegt dofir hei e puer Auszich aus sénger Äntwert (ouni Commentaire, meng Meenung hunn ech schon an deenen zwee aneren posts ausgedréckt):
