Where do you come from?

with one comment

I just found a nice tool that shows us where we all coem from: ClustrMaps.
This is my visitors-map:

Locations of visitors to this page

Did you find your spot?

It looks like a nice feature, but it’s a shame that the map is not nicer and bigger. Do you know a nicer one?

Ahoj,
– Till.

iPhone dead, here comes Android

with 2 comments

HTC Magic

HTC Magic

So that was it: my iPhone is dead. A tiny, little bump blocks the on/off button and it permanently goes on and then goes off and then goes on and then goes off and then goes on and then goes off and then goes on – got the pattern?

What’s next? iPhone again? No! Battery sucks, it’s slow (ever tried to open the contact app with 2.500 addresses in it?), the keyboard w/o keys is not for my fingers… But it was also really nice: The UI is top, it’s the most beautiful phone I ever had, it had great apps (fun as well as information as well as productivity). But it’s time for a change.

So now I wait for vodafone to finally bring out the HTC magic. And I am soooo curious: Will it be as nice as the iPhone to use? Battery life???? It doesn’t have a physical keyboard – which I would prefere, but anyway.

I’ll keep you posted and will let you know my first impressions as soon as I hold it in my hands.

For the one that already have an Android-Phone: What Twitter-Client? What Facebook-Client? What other must-have-software?

Have a nice evening,

– Till.

Tills Praha Places

comment - kommentieren

On multiple request, now, here, publicly published…

Many people asked me “Where should I go in Prague for that occasion?“. It’s true that I visited a restaurant or two during my 4 years in Prague – but why do they all ask me…??

Anyway, since I collected some addresses, remarks & hints, here they are. But please bear in mind:

  • The list is old. and it gets older every day. I left Prague end of 2007, and nothing had been edited since. And even then many places were already outdated.
  • I did not test all the places. I tried to keep track of what I had visited & tried myself and what I had found in other reviews.
  • The list is not all about recommendations. It also holds information about places I always wanted to visit – and some I never did visit.

Anyway, I would be happy if it helps you. If you find errors or if you want to recommend an outstanding place, just let me know and I will update the document.

Here is this famous list.

Ahoj z Mnichov,

– Till.

Layoff-Tracker

comment - kommentieren

Heute hat mein Freund Seymour mich auf eine Statistik aufmerksam gemacht, die ich bemerkenswert fing: Der Layoff-Tracker von TechCrunch.

Hier habe ich das Schmuckstück mal embedded:

Ist doch unglaublich, wie viele Leute pro Tag (!!) entlassen werden!! Das geht auch den Jungs vom Spiegel so (ganz unten). Da kriegt man es dann doch bissi mit der Angst…
So, jetzt muß ich weiter arbeiten um meinen Arbeitsplatz zu sichern ;-)
Schönen Tag,
– Till.

SlideShare, tut wie es heißt

comment - kommentieren

Bin heute über einen netten Service gestoßen: SlideShare. Die Idee ist genau wie man es erwartet: Du stellst Slides ein, und andere können sie sich ansehen. Du sharest sie eben…
Auch um Slides anzusehen muß man einen Account haben, aber der ist frei. Auch das Einstellen von Slides ist frei. Slideshows können sowohl öffentlich als auch privat sein. Auch ein paar Tags kann man mitgeben.
Zum Testen habe ich mal meine Liste von Prager Locations eingestellt. Ist zwar keine Slideshow, aber nachdem SlideShare auch PDF’s verwursten kann, war das ein gutes Test-Objekt.
Wer also wissen will, wohin man in Prag zum Essen und Party machen geht hierher.
Bonne soirée,
– Till.
