Das Buch Wer mitmacht, hat Recht!

Happy New Year from nrrd.de!

The nrrd.de core team (housetier and hadez) has met in Berlin for the 25th annual chaos communication congress.

We’ve been planning on re-orienting and re-launching nrrd.de and affiliated sites for well over a year now and finally managed to allocate some time to work on this together.

Here’s a small glimpse into the future of nrrd.de:

• ‘das buch’ will be separated a bit better from the blog content
• nrrd.de will be re-purposed for blogging
• we’ll launch the nrrd affiliates network
• new design

We’re still looking for contributors!
If you think you can contribute content to our -isms (tech-ism, urban-ism, style-ism, social-ism) you’re more than welcome to help.
If you have no clue what what the -isms are, just wait for one of the next blog posts to explain it in more detail.

More information will be posted here as it becomes available.

We can be reached on irc on irc.paranode.net #breaks or mail to housetier@nrrd.de and/or hadez@nrrd.de.

Some days ago I was asked by Tim Gerundt, the new project maintainer of NOCC Webmail¹, if I want to actively help out the project as new official developer.

Yay!!! I agreed. \o/

After I finally got internet via UMTS to my new apartment and I got the connection routed to my VMWARE, I am ready to start. Thanks to trash for the help with service tunneling.

Upcoming additions to NOCC¹ will be:

• LDAP contacts
• Bounce function
• Search feature

Who thought that the days of the command line have been counted, might be wrong.

In the days of iPhones pooping popping up on every website and impressing the crowd with an unique user interface, Alex Faaborg, who recently joined Mozilla as User Experience Designer, wrote some interesting things about it on the mozilla blog.
I use the Mac application Quicksilver myself a lot – the combination of command line (or as geeks refer to as “CLI” – go and look it up yourself) and GUI is the most powerfull I’ve experienced so far for the shorter commands. For longer commands I tend to go back to the terminal (started with quicksilver of course).
