There it is. I had to wait for a few weeks for the flat pack. The new Lenovo X300 is flat, indeed. But even if many reviews compare it to Apple´s MacBook Air, it feels like it is bigger and heavier a lot. I migrated today from an Thinkpad X60 to the new X300. The…

I have been at this place more than 20 years ago. I traveled Morocco with an old VW Bully. 20 years ago we drove down to the south over the Atlas mountains to the dessert. Back then we saw all the King´s cities – Fez, Meknes, Rabat and of course Marrakech, which was one of…

Pause. Ruhe nach dem Sturm der letzten Wochen und Monate. Für kurze Zeit geht es in eine andere Welt. Wer mit mir plauschen will, kommt auf einen Thé á la Menthe zur Djemaa el-Fna oder in unser Riad. Alle anderen müssen sich ein paar Tage gedulden.

That will raise many unwanted questions for us…

Google Docs now allows you to view and edit your documents offline, without an internet connection. To do all of this, Google Docs uses Google Gears, an open source browser extension that adds offline functionality directly to the browser. Good news.
