Football Fun

Being at home, sick with some damn infection, I created my first YouTube movie.
So I present to you a collection of the finest moments the Austrian national football team had during the European Championships 2008.

My apologies to the unknown guy who first came up with this kind of parody (starring the Swiss football team) and to our national football team who, despite clearly being the by far superior team on the field (as every Austrian football expert noted), lost their first match against Croatia 0:1. Life ist not fair. Get over it.

Mac OS X 10.5.2

osx1052.png

The latest update to Mac OS X is out. This time the update has been eagerly awaited by me. I am currently installing it, but from the change log it looks promising:

  • Updates Stacks with a List view option, a Folder view option, and an updated background for Grid view. [Thank You!]
  • Addresses legibility issues with the menu bar with an option to turn off transparency in Desktop & Screen Saver preferences. [Not so much an issue for me, but lots of users complained.]
  • Adjusts menus to be slightly-less translucent overall.
  • Fixes an issue with deleting messages located in the Drafts folder. [Interestingly, I experienced this bug lately.]
  • Fixes an issue in which the body of email messages with certain MIME structures may not be displayed. [Thank you. No I can read my GULP mailings again (without reverting to viewing the raw message source)]

If this holds what it promises, my current issues with 10.5 are pretty much solved. Thank you, Apple.

Cup and Plate

Maria found some interesting looking old dish in her mother's attic. Unfortunately, the plate does not match the cup. So, if by chance anyone has a cup that matches the plate, or plate that matches the cup that's no longer needed, please contact us or leave a comment. Thanks!

Badonkadonk

Quads are pretty lame - after all, everyone and their brother-in-law already have one. So, if you really want to be cool, you'll have to drive a Badonkadonk Land Cruiser/Tank (with a 500 Watt sound system). Sold at Amazon for $19,999.95. A bargain for something that looks like it comes straight out of a Star Wars movie.
