SplitBill revised
There is a new version of SplitBill out on the market.
Still it allows you to split bills amoung your friends or whatever, but now it also suggests an optimised transaction scheme. This way the number of transactions needed to even out the expences is reduced to a minimum (one per person in the best case).
The only drawback of this optimisation is the fact that larger amounts have to be transfered by each individual. Of course you still get the traditional calculation, so you can choose for yourself.
Things to think about …
Until June 14th you can watch HOME, the new film by Yann Arthus-Bertrand, for free online on YouTube … it features some really fascinating sights on our planet and rises some good questions to think about …
Hiking online
Since we had some troubles finding nice and well described hikes, and maybe also because I like adding things to my webpage, I now have a section on hikes.
Each hike comes with some information on duration, height and length, with a map and an elevation profile … the last and very nice hike I did on Sunday is also in!
I’ll try to add more over the coming weekends/months/years …
Happy Birthday WWW
Just about now, at 14:00, CERN and probably some more institutions and people are celebrating the 20th birthday of what is known as the WorldWideWeb these days.
In March 1989 Tim Berners-Lee handed in his first proposal for what was the basis of the WWW to his bosses at CERN.
The whole story can be found here and the original proposal is linked here.
Happy Birthday!
And thanks Mr. Berners-Lee.
