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.
Another two ‘interesting’ movies … the first one, ‘Clockwork Orange’ directed Stanley Kubrick, was certainly special. Even though I read the book, I was still kinda surprised. I guess you either like it or you don’t. And even though I liked the book, in case of the movie I would fall in the latter category.
The other one, ‘Be Kind Rewind’ … well, it has its jokes, but … after all another low class comedy.
Due to my recent illness I completely forgot to write posts about some of the movies I have seen recently …
We started out with “Bladerunner” … a classic by Ridley Scott with Harrison Ford based on the book “Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep?” (see previous post) by Philip K. Dick … old (and one always has to get used to it again) but nice movie …
Next one was the “The Bucket List” with Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman as two old guys at the end of their lives trying to do as many of the things they always wanted to do but never did … unfortunately kinda lame movie …
And the last one was “L’ Auberge Espagnole” … a movie about some strange economics student and his Erasmus year in Barcelona … unfortunately not really to recommend, just as the previous one …
Well, sometimes you’re lucky and sometimes you’re not … let’s hope we’re more lucky with the next one …
Just patched a little Greasemonkey script to unlock the full features of Deezer!
Which was until they locked all songs in Germany my most favourite web radio.
Now we’re back at that point … ;)
Here you go:
// ==UserScript==
// @name Deezer Version 2 Unlocker
// @namespace Enables disabled songs on Deezer
// @description Enables disabled (grayed-out) songs on Deezer. This script replaces the GeoIP location with French, but leaves (most of) the actual Deezer application in English.
// @include http://www.deezer.com/
// @include http://www.deezer.com/*
// @include http://deezer.com/
// @include http://deezer.com/*
// @include http://*.deezer.com/*

document.getElementById("flash").innerHTML = document.getElementById("flash").innerHTML.replace(/geoip=DE/g, "geoip=FR");
document.getElementById("player").innerHTML = document.getElementById("player").innerHTML.replace(/geoip=DE/g, "geoip=FR");
document.getElementById("focus").innerHTML = document.getElementById("focus").innerHTML.replace(/geoip=DE/g, "geoip=FR");
Just in case you missed it!
In the very second it is 1234567890.
And for all of you that don’t understand: it’s CET UNIX time!
1234567890 seconds since midnight of January 1st, 1970!
Woohoo … Party!
