Berlin court bans storing of personal data - ouch. On the one hand, of course commendable when the amount of data is reduced that is left behind everywhere. Detailed log files from web servers that in the standard settings of many installations sometimes run for a year or longer - that is already bad in terms of data protection. On the other hand, a flank for warnings will certainly be opened again: anyone who has their web statistics publicly accessible documents their IP address collection via log file. It will be interesting to see what comes out of it.

Pandoc - also an option. A Haskell program (hey, I've been looking for an excuse to despair at Haskell again!), which translates between various structured languages. It can convert Markdown to S5 (which shouldn't be particularly difficult, as S5 is normal HTML), but also various other formats. I like Markdown, use it for example in my blog software.
Slides with S5 - Cognitiones Publicae - that's really a nice little toy. S5 and Wiki integrated - and it looks like it's also quite good. Maybe I should set up a PHP environment (i.e. an isolated padded cell in the high-security wing) again.
