...and I haven't even said something about Sunday. After all the rain, we were lucky with the weather - another nice trip. :-)

Can you believe that this was 3 weeks ago?
... that it was a really sunny and joyful day here in Germany. I hope the rain will pass soon.

Experience Abroad - in Dresden

Posted by
René Springmeier

in Other, Pictures at 02:52
10 years ago this postcard was used to attract students in Western Germany to study in Dresden, Eastern Germany. It reads "Students! Get International Experience in Dresden." Not only refering to their international cooperations, but rather the fact that Eastern Germany was still a foreign country to many Western Germans.

Next stop: Base System Peripherals
The information display inside the bis was suggesting a rather odd route for today...

Wilhelmstrasse in front of Neue Aula
This is way some people in Tübingen mark their "I was here". And least the first pair has been around for a very long time.

I am being hotlinked

Posted by
René Springmeier

in General at 22:21
A blog has been hotlinking one of the pictures of my old blog. Hotlinking means that the picture was all the time on my server, not on theirs. Of course I was not asked before, no appropiate credit is given and I payed for the traffic on my domain.










I have contacted them to negotiate a retroactive aquisition of a license to use my picture. We shall see how that is going to work out. In meantime, since my old blog was deleted including that picture, I uploaded a new picture, so that the article is still complete.



I have been tempted to use something really more provoking. ;-)

The new card

Bankcard
This is not the new card.
Finally I got the new card from my bank. The old one was still working, but had me worry the past months that this would suddenly be over.
