Chiperoni ku Basel

  • Chrischona = done

    A small feat to celebrate in my personal blog: I jogged uphill from Riehen to St. Chrischona today at a slow and leisurely pace. The first part was tough, but about half way between Riehen and Bettingen I started to feel better. I guess the endorphin production kicked in.

    Despite a setback due to flu, my regular training is paying off. Just like the message on the Ovo packaging: Never give up. Concepts which apply to other areas as well…

    While running I was constantly writing and re-phrasing statements for this blog post… Something fellow blogger Persillie calls mind blogging. For me it’s one of the added benefits of running: mapping out ideas and reflecting on experiences and dreaming; mixed with lots of fresh air and movement.

    I’ll try to re-run this route once in a while. And there’s also the Chrischonalauf to consider.

  • Next Level Parzival

    Here’s a blog post to encourage you to go see “Next Level Parzival” at the Schauspielhaus in Basel. I saw it yesterday evening and can recommend it.

    If you’re a bit like me, you’ll read the Wikipedia entry on Parzival afterwards.

  • Flickriver

    Scrolling Ad Infinitum:

    I discovered a new Flickr tool called Flickriver…
    It loads all images into one long html page, i.e. you simply scroll down to view all pictures for a tag or group:

    Canon ImageBrowser to FlickrUploadr:

    BTW, I’ve found a shortcut how to add photos from Canon ImageBrowser to Flickr Uploadr. In the ImageBrowser, open Preferences and add Flickr Uploadr to the list of external editing applications. Once you’ve added it, you can send images to Flickr Uploadr while in preview mode using Edit > Edit with Registered Application > Flickr Uploadr.

    Alternative to Satellite:

    I stumbled across lumis Gallery. The concept is similar to Satellite, i.e. you can host photos on Flickr and reload them on your own server within your own layout. It seems to have more features…. It requires PHP 5 and a Flickr account.

    Today’s personal faves:

  • Postcard from Basel

    Print it out and send it home:

    I took a couple of spontaneous snapshots in St.Alban. Mostly stuff I see when I go running along the riverbanks. Like this graffiti. Or this analog sms.

    BTW, you can see my recent Flickr pics on black.
