Ambient Techno is my Friend.

This Needs to Stop

Lots of activity. No really.

This place has been quiet. Although I've attended the Fluc re-opening, reported about the Netznetz Backbone-Grant Voting, helped with the Metalab bootstrapping, and lurked at the East Erh Egg.

Or in photos:

Both known and new faces all over the place. I finally got to meet Tina a fellow Metroblog author, who although doesn't jump in your face, somehow has an aura of enthusiasm about her. Teemu told me how much he loves Daniela's Metblog entries, I fought with Tim over RDF and I think Angelo is a good dancer ;) Oh and Philipp and me might collaborate with Esel soon.

Leo was visiting for a few days, and made me realise that we'll know eachother for 4 years not soon (time is flying fast, seems as if I'm not the über-kiddo anymore). He showed me the DFKI's latest Gnowsis results, and I have to say, this is far better than what he showed me until then. I'll happily test it once they release a version that's stable and usable.

And since yesterday, I'm doing some temporary hosting for music for robots. As far as they told me, they have ~100GB traffic per week. The logs will be interesting :)

Most of this you would've known in one way or another, would Ambient Techno is my Friend. be in the state I've wanted it when I started it as zine.niij.org. I've finally came to the point where I have the tools to easily get it there, and it's only a matter of weeks now (come on, the Donaufestival is rapidly approaching).

Also, I've rewritten my blog, with Aaron Swartz' web.py and Kid, will be online in the next few days, along with a 0.1 version of Siesia LF. And I'll be switching to my new favourite piece of server software, lighttpd, as soon as possible. But more on that when everything is done.
