20 Years of BTX

Hachja, BTX - and its users. The candy-loving space cadets of the 80s

Devilish grin

Of course, people like us were active in mailbox networks (yeah yeah, those animal nets, first Fido, soon then Maus) and of course we didn't have any fancy pictures, no chats (ok, the Fidos had something like that, but they were hardly better than the BTX folks), no commerce and therefore it was all better.

AppleScript to open POPFile links from Entourage X

A small AppleScript that jumps to the link to Popfile in messages that were filtered by Popfile. Unfortunately for Entourage, I think I'd need to rewrite it for Mailsmith sometime. For that I'd probably need to know a bit more about AppleScript ... Here's the original article.

Dramatic Budget Situations in NRW and Berlin

At the WDR it says that even though the ruling will have no direct consequences for the state government, - please, what? So the state government violates the state constitution. But of course that has no impact. Weird. Well, if I look at the vultures of the Union who also want to run down NRW, then it might actually be quite good if it has no impact.

Ullrich: Poisoned Infusion Responsible for Tour Fever

Yikes. That's not good, stuff like that. But it's pretty crazy what performance athletes will do to themselves. Us ordinary folk find infusions disgusting and unpleasant, and they're having protein run straight into their veins.

Vuelta: Zabel leads Telekom

That's what I like about Zabel: there's no fatigue, no talk of giving up before things have really started, and no complaining – just hard and good work, great performances, and – almost always – a grin in interviews.
