Trip to the USA: Day 4

USA-Reise: 4. Tag

Time Zone

I changed the time zone of my page! I really like the new feature that enables me to flip my homepage when it’s still yesterday in California, but today in Germany. We’re nine hours ahead!
(If you want to know how this works, have a look at Manila Newbies.)

Today: Day 3

Heute: 3. Tag

Zeitzone

Gerade habe ich die Zeitzone meiner Site geändert. Bisher bezogen sich alle Zeitangaben auf die Uhrzeit in Kalifornien, die der deutschen um neun Stunden hinterher ist. Jetzt kann ich endlich meine Homepage vor neun Uhr morgens flippen – falls ich dann schon munter bin…

Identity Crisis

Duncan:

Andrea had an identity crisis yesterday and couldn’t tell the difference between herself and Crusoe . Never mind Andrea, Dave is trying his best to make you famous!!

Thanks for letting me know. The correct link, ouf course, is

http://www.google.com/search?q=Andrea&num=30.

Dave is trying to make me famous? Lemme see…

He says:

Andrea’s Weblog documents the trip she and Andre took to the US last year. As usual, San Francisco looks prettier viewed through the eyes of a tourist! I forget how beautiful my hometown is, thanks for the reminder.

Oh, and thanks Jeremy, for featuring my weblog today!

Today’s Featured LinkBack Page: Andrea’s Weblog, where her journal of her trip to the Western US is causing links.

Right. And Dave’s link to Day 2 is causing many hits!

Here’s the second day of our trip – with photos!

Google search

Duncan Smeed:

Talking of Google try a Google search for Crusoe. Guess what was in the top ten of the search results today?

Duncan’s site is number nine. I tried and searched for “Andrea”, and two pages of my site show as numbers 11 and 12!

Am I famous now? ;-)

André is back!

He says it’s much colder in Germany than it was in California…

April Fool’s Day

Seems like I missed a good one yesterday: James Vornov:

I’m afraid that Alwin Hawkins is making a mistake in leaving nursing to develop for Manila. He should try to get into Userland instead. My new job at Userland will be planning the first rollercoaster and the funhouse. If you didn’t already read Scripting News today, Dave Winer announced that UserLand has always been a code word for his true intention to open a theme park like DisneyLand for computer geeks. He thought WinerLand would never be a marketable name, so UserLand it is. For some reason, Dave thinks my training in psychopharmacology will be an asset to the theme park development. We’ll be meeting to brainstorm on this next week.

André says it’s supposed to be “WienerLand” instead of “WinerLand”.

Our trip to the USA

Beginning today, we (André and I) are going to post the journal of the trip to the western U.S. from September 2 through October 1, 1999 – which started exactly seven months ago! Here’s the first day! Of course, there will also be photos on the following days. (We didn’t take any on the first day of our trip.)

Day 1

Reisetagebuch

Ab heute werden wir (André und ich) das Reisetagebuch unserer USA-Tour posten, jeden Tag einen Tag. Wir waren vom 2. September bis 1. Oktober 1999 unterwegs, sind also genau vor sieben Monaten gestarted. Hier ist der erste Tag! Natürlich gibt’s auch Fotos dazu. (Am ersten Tag allerdings nicht, denn da gab es noch nicht viel zu fotografieren.)

1. Tag

André ist wieder da!

Er meinte, das Wetter sei in Kalifornien viel besser gewesen als hier…

April fool’s day makes everyone change his or her profession:

Zannah aka /usr/bin/girl:

I’ve decided to give up the internet and become a nun.

Alwin Hawkins:

I am leaving nursing and becoming a full time Manila developer, programmer, and writer. I’m going to earn a living from the Internet. Heck, even Dave Winer does it – how hard can it be?

Dave:

Ohhh. I’ve had it with the Web. Last week I warned you about this. I quit writing DaveNet, but apparently that wasn’t enough for some people. You know who you are! So just to show how my feelings have been hurt today is my last day doing Scripting News. I’m also thinking about pulling the plug on all the servers here. I’ve had it with PacBell! They suck too. You know who you are! Losers. You’ll miss me when I’m gone!

Okay, folks, I’m going to become an astronaut. I’ve wanted to be an astronaut since I was in third grade!

Mathematics and education

John Marden says:

Andrea’s essay on math is done. I tried to read it, but I guess I don’t remember my German as well as I thought. I’ll have to wait for the translation.

You won’t have to wait for a long time… I’m already working on it!

Oliver Breidenbach seems not to have any problems with my German…

But it seems my essay is not quite what he has expected. Oliver, I could have been bolder, but this it the last Schein I need so I didn’t want to risk it. I guess it’s bold enough for my professor, anyway.

LinkBack

I joined LinkBack. You can find my LinkBack page here!
