Less Common Browsers.

I recently had the opportunity to look at this page with an old NS 4.x browser and – it was not pretty. I checked this page in NS 7 and Opera 7 and there were only minor deviations from the intended look (in IE 6). The share of users with less common browsers is evidently [...]

Ladies & gentlemen, “tschwarz.blogspot.com” is now also “www.almostadiary.de“. You don’t have to update your links yet as I will continue using blogspot for [...]

Quote Of The Minute.

Gentle readers, I have introduced a new and exciting service, which I, in all modesty, decided to call “Quote Of The Minute…“. You can find it in the previously rather unused left sidebar on this page. Despite the column’s title, don’t expect me to update it every minute – that is, at least until I [...]

Language Tools

This is fun. I just checked Google’s automatic website translation tool. Let me just say that machine translation still has a long way to go… but anyway, why don’t you check out my page in French, German, or Spanish for a change? Just make sure to go back to the original afterwards should you actully [...]

Two Blogspot Ads?

Just asking – Am I the only one who sees *two* blogspot ads on this site whenever it is loaded. I haven’t noticed this on any other of the blogs hosted on their site. Please let me know.

Relaunch.

So I just hit the upload button and the new design is online. I hope you like it as much as I do. The table structure is a bit complex because of the blogger-ad above. So I hope everything looks as beautiful on your screen as it does on mine. Please note that the sunglasses [...]

In case anyone is wondering…

I haven’t abandoned this page ;-). It’s just been a bit busy. Moreover, I have been working on a design makeover which will go online later on Wednesday… it just needs some more finishing touches.

Life Offline / FAQs

It’s been a long time since I haven’t been online for almost a week. It must have been at some point in 1999, I suppose. So, at first, it felt a bit strange not being able to read my email or drop a note in this blog. But then I realized that it’s probably a [...]

Reminder to self. Info-Management

Information is great. The web is full of it. But so far I haven’t come up with a great way of organising and integrating all the stuff I find online and reminding me to check specific sites for news. I basically still do it manually every now and then. I wonder if someone else has [...]

For a small fee in America

I’m in SoHo and it’s raining. Earlier this afternoon I went to the New Museum of Modern Art, 583 Broadway. and it was funny. To me, most modern art is funny. However, the museum features an amazing bookshop. It’s very selective, definitely no Amazon.com – but it’s definitely worth a look. After the museum I [...]

Fool Cruel Gone One

UPDATE (26/01/2007) The songs has been published on my demo album Quarterlife in late 2005. Check it out here. I never thought I could write lyrics. But the above title tells you that I did. Still very pleased with myself. Seriously, isn’t it nice to discover a previously hidden creative side in oneself? Once the [...]

A New Hope.

Although I had not had a single look at this blog for almost two months, tonight I felt the sudden urge to change the template and make it at least presentable. The HTML used in the template I chose is somewhat awkward, so I think this page will get yet another look in a few [...]

Hello world.

Now I suppose that is the classic starting entry for any blog. But this is not just any blog, this one is mine. Over the recent months, blogging has become a wide-spread phenonmenon, and I have discovered some blogs to be phenonmenal context enriching sources of interpretation, knowledge, and sometimes wisdom. Since we all know [...]
