Stéphanie now has a homepage: folly.dk! Please go check it out…
If you do, then pay especially good attention to the section with Wallis German — you might be aware that Switzerland has no less than four official languages (German, French, Italian, and Romansh) but the German they speak is very different from what Germans speak. It varies a great deal from north to south, and the Wallis dialect is supposed to be the most difficult of them all. Go see for yourself… :-)
As Stéphanie and I were just about to have dinner tonight, our water tap broke! I was pouring water in a can when the upper part suddenly fell off…
Needless to say, I was quite surpriced/chocked and it took me several seconds to realize that I could stop the water from hitting the cubboards by simply turning it off… :-)
In the end no big damage was done, just a bit of water on the floor. But we’ll probably have to have the tap replaced anyway :-)
The newest feature on our Planet is post statistics. Every time you make a post you earn 1 point. The total score within the time horizont of the Planet (the latests 15 posts within the last week) determines your order in the list of faces at the top.
The score will probably also determine the size of your face one day…
Suggestions for a better formula is of course happily accepted — patches against the SVN repository is accepted even more happily :-)
In case you haven’t noticed… the new planet is up and running. Find it here: http://mgeisler.net/. The content on that page actually comes from http://daimi.au.dk/~mg/planet/ via a mod_rewrite proxy request. This is because I gave up on making the code work on the Python 2.2 installed on my site…
I hope you like the new overview of recent activities. Of course one should be able to jump from the preview down to the full post, but this will have to do for now. If you have an accound on [DAIMI][], then feel free to checkout the code from ~mg/SVNHOME/planet and implement this before I do :-)
