Created a yahoo account the other day, so I could plonk some holiday shots on Flickr. After 29 photos I was told I'd used up all quota. Yay. Didn't even get around to actual holiday photos.

The search is on for non-flickr decent gpl gallery software.

daily / berlin

After a nine-hour drive from Nijmegen, we arrived in Berlin last friday evening. Some accidents along the way had caused traffic jams. Ugh. We were kept company for some of that by a an Estonian truck, which was moving the DJ Bobo Roadshow :-)

We went by way of Enschede. The center there is unrecognisable now. completely redone. The area that blew up with the fireworks factory 5 or so years back is nearly completely rebuilt. looks all shiny.

For our Australian viewers: along the autobahn there were enourmous windmill-parks and we noticed huge flocks of birds being sucked into them on numerous occasions. The aussie government has made the right decision to not build a wind-farm.

TV TowerBerlin is in the middle of preparations for ther soccer world cup. The center of town has gone mad. Road blocks, large pink soccer balls (yes, they painted a large pink soccer ball on the former eastern TV tower).

Yesterday we had a more or less guided tour by car. Joao took us past the best sights (the museum island, Brandenburg Gate, Eastern Gallery, the embassies, the Reichstag, Unter Den Linden etc). Pretty :-) Had a perv at Einsteins/Schrodingers/Heisenbergs head at the university where they used to study.

We spent the evening planning a revolution, which we will accomplish by throwing bananas at the neo-nazis in a particular suburb here. Or perhaps that was the shiraz talking ;-)

Woo! Did my routine check of the Internet ADSL2+ status page today and noticed that they're (finally) upgrading the North Melbourne exchange.

24000/1000 plan pre-ordered.
