Outage sucks indeed.

Last Saturaday, I was on the wedding of a colleague of mine. We had a lot of fun. ;)
It certainly helped that besides the (sizeable) family all guests were computer scientists (software developers mostly that all studied at the same university), just like the couple. That works well as an ice-breaker, since you have a far better idea what your counterpart might be interested in. Not that we really talked much "tech".

I also got to see the 3D digital camera that my colleague had built. (Two cameras affixed to each other, connected via USB to take photos at the same time. Just required two similar model cameras, a hacked firmware and some brazing.). So the two must be some of the first couples to have 3D pictures of his wedding. ;)
 


Mustrum, I have to repost this for you..


The European Union commissioners have announced that agreement has been reached to adopt English as the preferred language for European communications, rather than German, which was the other possibility.

As part of the negotiations, the British government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a five-year phased plan for what will be known as EuroEnglish (Euro for short).

In the first year, "s" will be used instead of the soft "c". Sertainly, sivil servants will resieve this news with joy.

Also, the hard "c" will be replaced with "k". Not only will this klear up konfusion, but typewriters kan have one less letter.

There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year, when the troublesome "ph" will be replaced by "f". This will make words like "fotograf" 20 per sent shorter.

In the third year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible.

Governments will enkorage the removal of double letters, which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling. Also, al wil agre that the horible mes of silent "e"s in the languag is disgrasful, and they would go.

By the fourth year, peopl wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "th" by "z" and "w" by " v".

During ze fifz year, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd from vords kontaining "ou", and similar changes vud of kors be aplid to ozer kombinations of leters.

Und efter ze fifz yer, ve vil al be speking German like zey vunted in ze forst place....
