playland

Weekend is WordPress playland here at the headquarters of Chiperoni.ch. I upgraded to the latest version of WP 2.0.5 and started playing around with the Tarski and Simplr themes. Quite undecided still. Will probably return to the previous design any time soon. Here’s the current Tarski setup: And Simplr: Also included is the usual WP… Continue reading playland

Jeff Wall interpretation (kind of)

This Lisbon street scene reminded me of the Jeff Wall show I saw at the Schaulager some time ago… http://www.schaulager.org/de/popup.php?pfad=archiv/jeff_wall/intro Only that in my case it’s a snapshot…. instead of a careful composition.

Mau tempo

Just got back from a beautiful, long weekend in Lisbon. It was great. Fairly warm. Although everybody was talking about “mau tempo”. It rained a lot on Sunday, but no problem for this northern light: I had all of my rain gear with me. Plus this kind of weather was great for a city trip.… Continue reading Mau tempo

TV Sunday

I just zapped into the making of Vitus on Swiss TV: Die VITUSmacher A film I really enjoyed. If you get a chance, go see it esp. in dialect… It’s raining cats and dogs in Basel. I hope this rainy weather will not result in floods and landslides in the mountains. Yesterday I saw War… Continue reading TV Sunday

trying out Google Desktop

I’m currently evaluating Google Desktop. And I must say so far I’m fairly impressed… There’s little things like opening up the corresponding email in Outlook 2000 which blow me over. The install hasn’t affected performance. But this is only day 2… I’m going see how it goes for the next couple of weeks.

experimenting with WordPress plugins

yesterday evening I started playing around with some WordPress plugins I’d found. SlimStats This Day I made a small code change in wp-config.php. Everything was working fine… I thought. But this morning I got this error message (please skip the next paragraph if you’re a wp/PHP geek, you’re probably going to throw your hands up… Continue reading experimenting with WordPress plugins

On a clear day you can see the Alps from here. I walked to Reigoldswil and then… Continue reading chip update
