Das Erzeugnisprogramm Dezentrale Datentechnik

For some strange and irritating reason, the developers of Wordpress MU have decided that users of said product are not allowed to access their own web server using a web address beginning with www.

Fortunaltely, the system is open source so this amazingly stupid setting can be deactivated (comment out a few lines in wpmu-settings.php). It’s just that you have to remeber this change when you update the software.

(And I don’t think it’s a bad idea to use URLs without www, it’s just that it’s not up to the developers of WPMU…)

Last week, Apple announced the long awaited iPad. I guess I was a bit disappointed that it turned out to be a big iPod instead of a small computer.

I had naïvely been hoping for the iPad to be an open platform, but just like on the iPod/iPhone all applications have to go through the app store and be approved by Apple.

1. Moore’s law – The number of transistors that can be placed inexpensively on an integrated circuit is doubling approximately every two years.
2. Metcalfe’s law – The value of a communications network is proportional to the square of the number of connected users of the system.
3. Godwin’s law – As a discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1.
