Night before last: Pizza. Last night: Chinese. Tonight: Pizza. Oh, I wonder what tomorrow will have in store for me! #
Oh, also this time around my Kindle really arrived in Cologne and cleared customs. So… maybe tomorrow? Pretty please? #
There now are 3 tasks less on my task list. Woohoo! Gracefully ignoring the other 50 nagging items… for now. #
Today's the first day since I returned to Germany on which you can see your breath in the air. It's cold alright! #
So… the lights on the train just went off… it… just shut down entirely it seems. 10 minutes late already. Oh praise Deutsche Bahn. #
The engine on the bus I'm on right now sounds a LOT like Zoidberg… Whoobooobooobooooo! #
I guess it only makes sense that the train home runs late too – consistency, you know? They successfully span their crappiness all the way! #
Also I just discovered that an acquaintance (forgive the mistakes?) of mine is a real life troll. The internet "don't feed them" kind. #
Very disappointed in UPS that they still haven't managed to get my Kindle to me. Cologne really isn't that far. I'm slightly pissed. #
They had more than 7 hours! You know how far away Cologne is from Münster? 1:30h! UPS, this is NOT what I call "express!" #
Oh fuck you, UPS. First you're telling me the thing's out for delivery NOW you're telling me it's going through customs for the THIRD time? #
@EricWarnke I still say this is weird: http://twitpic.com/2jpzlf in reply to EricWarnke #
While the train was packed yesterday it appears that today it's almost entirely empty. Well, more leg room, whee! #
So apparently UPS finally delivered my package. It's about time. Tonight I DREAMT of the friggin Kindle… #
An Amazon representative was handing out free Kindle's and gave me and a friend like 4! I was very contend, needless to say! #
Ugh, I fucking hate fax servers. They're horrible. Telephony, faxes, crap! #

Forgot to buy this week's train / bus ticket in advance, so now I'm trying to sneak my way onto the bus. It's not like I wasn't gonna pay! #
Aaaaand I managed to "sneak" on the bus. He didn't even really look at my ticket. Guess I rolled lucky when I threw on deception. #nerdworld #
Actually it would've just been a successful roll, but whatevs. #
My laptop's screen's worth jack shit in sunlight. Notice how I don't even say BRIGHT sunlight. A well lit room's too much already. #
Today, my boss was in an almost eerily good mood… Maybe the birthday cake of a fellow co-worker contributed to this phenomenon. #
Found a PDF named "New Shortcut.lnk.pdf" on an official Microsoft Press Windows Server 2008 R2 reference book. That's weak. #
http://gizmo.do/9bW1U5 – How long ago are 15 years? People spelled it "on-line" back then. Crazy. I feel old for remembering Windows 95 :\. #
@muskrat_john There will be dead kittens. Possibly. Well, maybe it won't do anything. Who knows. I say nothing's gonna happen. in reply to muskrat_john #
@muskrat_john Why? 'Cause if it's still only just loading it's not modifying anything within the phone yet. in reply to muskrat_john #
@muskrat_john If it started the actual upgrading process I'd be very careful. Should be safe while it's just loading though. in reply to muskrat_john #
Oh Google Books, you amuse me. Had I known Karl Marx was into computers, who knows how my life would've changed? http://twitpic.com/2hto59 #
Holy shit I just finished Scott Pilgrim. Why didn't I read this earlier? This was AWESOMAZING! Mad props to Bryan Lee O'Malley! #
Holy shit I just finished Scott Pilgrim. Why didn't I read this earlier? This was AWESOMAZING! Mad props to Bryan Lee O'Malley (@radiomaru)! #
Just saw "Dinner for Schmucks." I give it a 4/10, really not my kinda humor. Not recommended. I did enjoy IT Crowd's Chris O'Dowd though. #
They used 2 G1s for phones though, that was neat to see. Then again I shouldn't have eaten that cheeseburger AND those nachos #latenighturgh #
I feel… kinda empty, now that I read all the Scott Pilgrim comic books. What am I gonna do on the daily train ride to work? #
Oh yeah, reading technical documentations is just as exciting! Oooh, Windows Server 2008 R2 licencing options you say? Who needs love then?! #
First batch of Kindle 3s are supposed to ship on Friday. Mine's in the 2nd batch, should ship Sept. 7th. I'm ridiculously excited! #
Feeling a little bad for having left quite early AGAIN… Whelp, boss's fine with it, sooo… #
@Katiucha That means it was probably good though :D. in reply to Katiucha #
@kfergy Mmm, yeah, right. That'd wouldn't be totally awkward at all. Whelp, Kindle should be there soon. Till then: Video games :D! in reply to kfergy #
Must… not… fall… asleep… It's only quarter to 7 and I'm dead tired >_<… #
Mmm, wheather's shit today. At least the first Kindles seem to have shipped yesterday already. Maybe I'll get mine earlier too :D! #
First meeting on workplace safety. I guess I'm the only one in the room who's at least mildly looking forward to this… for now. #
Looking at some of the pictures I took in Canada I can't sop myself from thinking about how much I wanna go back. Hint: VERY F'ING MUCH! #
Had the nicest chat with an old man on the bus. Now I feel bad for not having wished him a good day when I got off the bus unexpectedly… #
@granulac 'Scuse me? Spoilers for those who have (admittedly quite some) catching up to do? Next you'll tell me, say, Hagrid dies! (*cough*) in reply to granulac #
Either I have a mosquito in my room that just stung me twice… or I spontaneously had an allergic reaction to my bed sheets… #
@granulac True enough. Just more twists to look forward to. When I finally catch up I'll be all "OMG! That's what she referred to! WTFBBQ!" in reply to granulac #
@kfergy You could install Linux! You can do a complete install in under half an hour :D! You could try it and STILL install Mac OS after ^^! in reply to kfergy #
Look, I'm more than willing to pay for seeing Scott Pilgrim, but it won't hit theaters until November 25th here! Also it'll be a shit dub! #
Goodbye cruel world! I'm… just umm… off to sleep though, so if you can, please don't kill me yet? Sweet, thanks. Night. #
Yeah, on the downside it's still a Mac though, so… nothing gained really. #
@kfergy Yeah, on the downside it's still a Mac though, so… nothing gained really. in reply to kfergy #
Yay! My Kindle order status changed to "shipping soon!" Too bad it's on a Friday – won't get it until sometime next week. Still: Happy :D!! #
It's WEEEEEEKEEEEEEND – Yes! Hyper, hyper! #
It is only now that I have finally seen The Shining. And while it certainly is a great movie I'm not as blown away as I thought I would be. #
Next up: Total Recall, which I also have never seen before. Got myself 2001: A Space Odyssey too, might watch that tomorrow. #
Yes I'm catching up on the classics. Anything else I really ought to have seen? #
It appears Amazon / UPS managed to get my Kindle to Cologne already (speedy!). Alas: Customs people aren't working on Saturdays I fear. #
Ah yes, UPS screws with you as I expected. Only the data for the package is awaiting clearance, Kindle's still in Louisville, KY. #
As much as I enjoy the occasional coding session I don't think I'd be a good programmer: An hour for 25 lines of code isn't really great… #
Note to self: You cannot pull off the Emo hair. Also: Don't try it in front of a mirror any more. It's too embarrassing even for that. #

Don't you love that feeling when you KNOW there's something you forgot and you know it was important and you can't figure it out at all? #
The rain that's been falling all day long really didn't make me feel any less dismal or lonely… #
Then again it really set the mood for reading Scott Pilgrim volumes 1 & 2 for the first time ever. And I didn't start because of the movie. #
Monday's starting out great (not), hence I'm a really good mood (not) and I totally didn't just waste an hour of precious sleep (I did). #
So instead of 9 I show up at work at 11:30. Nobody will notice, right? Hey, I was working before! Just not at the office. #
Why's it even still slightly bother me when I see nobody's IMed me despite the fact that I was gone while "online" for like 2 hours… #
http://bit.ly/cojTCD – One of the few instances where I go "Holy fuck! Why are they screaming over 15 secs of 'new' footage? Such NERDS!" #
Needless to say I'm not much of a Star Wars person. It's good, granted, enjoyable sometimes, but most certainly not scream-worthy. #
Can't decide whether I want Scott Pilgrim to be shown at tomorrow's Sneak Preview in the cinema since I haven't finished the books yet… #
http://bit.ly/aYeLle This happened to me today. I swear. And yes, I was Sheldon. Yet again. I… felt kinda flattered! #
@Katiucha You look AWESOME in that new avatar of yours ^.^! #
Currently worried whether the Kindle 3's 6" screen will be big enough for comics / Manga. Incidentally that's a http://bit.ly/atZ3Qf ! #
"Setup is now installing the selected updates. This process may take several minutes." Do 90 minutes still qualify as "several?" #
Whelp… "I wanna go out tonight" turned into "Fine, I'm gonna read comics and watch arbitrary movies" – due to lack of available friends. #
13 hours of sleep later: I could stay in bed. Actually, I guess I might for a bit. #
The tubes have taken over your mind when you read "lolcat" instead of "local." #
@Amazon Sorry, but I'm not willing to pay $13.79 for a Kindle download if the paperback's $12.89: http://amzn.to/amXczX #
I just smacked myself in the head. Deservedly so. I made a very, VERY stupid mistake that cost me an hour to figure out. #OhTheStupidity #
Note to self: Some months in fact do have 31 days. Oh and there's 12 months, not only 11. Dumbass. #

It's a day just to my liking: No appointments, grey skies, quiet and some awesome things to do to relax (FF VI, Octopus Pie, etc.) #
So sad that The IT Crowd's already through with its 4th season… I would've watched so many more episodes! Well, until next year it is… #
@granulac Deservedly so! Both are amazing works of art that fill me with glee. OP just is my most favourite comic so you deserve the praise. in reply to granulac #
http://bit.ly/9JhU6U Is anybody else thinking Bulimia? #
Hm, I really forgot how much I liked getting up at 5 for work! … Wait a minute, I didn't like that at all… #
I am SO angry right now I could punch someone in the face. Hard. #
I think today's one of these days that you just want to end… #
@Katiucha Yeah, no… that's why I said I FELT like it ;). Actually, the day turned out to be pretty good after all :D. in reply to Katiucha #
Can't WAIT to get my Kindle. I'm especially eager to read comics / manga on it. Hoping the screen holds up as well as I think it will. #
Even with all its flaws, I still <3 my HTC Dream / G1. Really need to flash another rom though, current one's too sluggish. #
"Visual Basic for Applications" what a horrible mess. Why does a "While" need a "Wend?" What IS a "Wend" anyway?! #
Looking at the cloudy sky the first thought that popped into my head was "Damn JPEG artifacts, why don't you use PNG?" #webgeneration #
Some people… User comes up to me and goes: "When I login on different computers I see different symbols. Is that normal?" #NoPCforYou #
Dear Windows Update: Please die a horrible and slow death while lying in a ditch. Thank you. Yours, a pissed of occasional user. #
Went into a (very professional) shop that deals with printing. Them: "What's a PNG? I don't think we have the program for that." #
Whee, I'm now an official System Administrator! Look I'ves gots a name tags and everythings! http://twitpic.com/2dsiip #
Eating cold pizza while trying to restart the spooler server. Yup, the life of a sysadmin. #
While at the pub, I made a Triforce out of straws, molten together with the candle to the right – http://twitpic.com/2e35m1 <3!! #Zelda #
If I drank I'd be wasted right now. So very, very wasted. Drowning your sorrows in booze is no help though so I get to suffer the MANLY way. #
I'm veeeeeeeery frustrated right now, thanks to my colleagues that really make my life hellishly boring at the moment. Screw you guys. #
@kfergy Female escort, right? *Quickly takes cover* in reply to kfergy #
@Katiucha I miss you. Very much… #
@Katiucha Holy fuck what did I just watch… I don't even… in reply to Katiucha #
"I used to be undecided. Today I'm not too sure about that anymore." #

Time and space are a weird couple. Just now I wanted to go hike in the Rockie's thinking they'd be just outside as they used to be… #
Today's SMBC made me smirk. HYPOCUBE! http://www.smbc-comics.com/ind…..1957#comic #
Stupid effing Windows Server 2008 R2. I hate you. So much. I can barely put my frustration into words… #
My knee… It hurts badly… Stupid table, why'd you have to do that? #
We have a dummy patient in our database called "Otto van Testpatient." I wonder if there's a real Mr. Testpatient out there somewhere… #
It appears all the women around me are marrying. How late am I to the party? I'm slightly freaked out. #
Gah… The original Metroid tune still strikes unease in me… Just so… unsettling. A masterpiece of eerie music. #
And it's teh lunshbraek! Delicious pasta. No breakfast was had, so extra hungry. Also: 2008 R2's printer server is… pretty decent?! Wow… #
Pre-ordered a Kindle 3. Eager to get it… in… a month and a half or so. Stupid overseas shipping *sigh*… #
@kfergy Well, WE know who we are http://bit.ly/b5LQeE in reply to kfergy #
Weekend's ALMOST there, I can already taste it. No wait, that's blood I'm tasting… WhaEAAERRRGGHGHIIAUIRGH *Alien stomach splatter* #
@granulac I'm hoping origami / papercraft… Though I might be horribly HORRIBLY wrong. #
Ah yes… the apartment next door clearly has found new tenants. And I was JUST getting used to not hearing people moan every other night… #
I set my alarm clocks one and two hours too early respectively. What a shit start in tothe day… #

About to start my freshly flashed G1. Cyanogen 6.0.0-RC2 here we come! #
@kfergy If I get that film on DVD and find a picture I took while inside the building: I will. in reply to kfergy #
Tonight: Double feature sneak preview, open air. The good times abound. #
Yeah, no watching Bridget Jones's Diary really didn't make we want getting into a relationship any less. Good thing I had pizza with it… #
The options: 1) Buy new laptop, downgrade phone to older ROM 2) Buy new phone reinstall laptop OS. 3) Don't spend money on either. #
Thinking my co-worker might've driven home without me and there's no one left in the building. Mehp. #
@kfergy The fuck did I just watch o_O? in reply to kfergy #
There is one massively annoying cricket outside my window… Closing said window is not really an alternative. That lil' guy's got stamina! #
The cricket just stopped… Heavenly peace again. Maybe the reason he shut up is because he got laid. Or maybe eaten. I'd prefer eaten. #

Sure 4.5 hours of sleep are enough before evaluating a security critical network. Caffeine ftw! #
@Katiucha Aww… Get well soon! I'll send you some good thoughts :). in reply to Katiucha #
I haven't been up this early (6:30) in over half a year. It suddenly feels like the day stretches ahead of me, endlessly… #
@Katiucha Fun fact: Being "the nicest guy" gives you a free pass for "the friend zone" all year round – I appreciate the sentiment though <3 in reply to Katiucha #
On my way to a meeting, yet due the powerz of teh mobile intarwebs I'm not missing out on any social activities. Oh the magic of our days. #
Sleep tonight? Yeah, well, 4.5 hours should be enough yet again. I bet little sleep makes my headache go away, right? That's how it works. #
It's a really weird feeling remotely executing very work intense commands not getting any feedback… #
Holy fucking fuck! Major panic attack after having screwed up a production server. SO incredibly glad I fixed it before shit hit the fan… #
http://twitpic.com/25lbjq – mysql_query("DELETE FROM newsletter_recipients WHERE email='$_POST['email']'") How does that take fucking DAYS? #
@Katiucha Hey, if I have the time and money in 4 years, can I come visit you in Bazil for the World Cup :3? #
According to http://iwl.me I write like Douglas Adams: http://iwl.me/s/696f37bd I feel honoured! #
I'm awfully tired, despite the fact that I slept longer than I have in quite some time. It's warm and I don't wanna do anything. Ugh. #

Just deleted the ~2,000 news articles I haven't read since I returned to Germany. Fresh start it is. Hope I didn't miss out on too much. #
@Katiucha Quite fine thanks. Considering moving to London and playing Final Fantasy VI – what more could I wish for ;). in reply to Katiucha #
I found Terminator Salvation to be more enjoyable than I originally anticipated. Sure, it's no Judgement Day, but it's still fun though. #
I'm devastated in my devastatingly devastatingness that was wrought upon me when my team, yes, MY very team lost. #ger I am dissapoint. #
It really is becoming harder and harder for me to endure living at home. The wish, nay urge to move somewhere far, far away is growing… #
Note to self: When attending possibly "social" events always bring Nintendo DS / comparable. Go me for not talking to peeps. #
@Katiucha You're making me blush ~o~;… in reply to Katiucha #
Holy frack – it's Friday already and I didn't even notice? What's wrong with me… New episode of The IT Crowd tonight! Psyched! #

The IT Crowd and Futurama are back. Geeks of the world unite, the summer is saved! And what a comeback they made! So happy :)! #
Instead of "Splice" they should have called it "Jeepers Creepers: Origins" #
Oh cold broccoli-cream tortellini straight from the pot, why are you so delicious… #
@Katiucha Come visit me, I'll make you some :3. in reply to Katiucha #
Monsters vs. Aliens: Really not that great. Even though I saw it in 720p. Just… not that great. #
