Times of Ignorance
Yes, I finally did it. On Tuesday last week I finally took the last step to reach independence in my life and to accord the tax authorities some of my valuable (and hopefully incredible high and unmeasurable) income. You probably guessed it already: I finally officially registered my Diploma Thesis at my University.

And then a hero comes along
Those of you who tend to read my blog on a regular basis will probably know that I usually play Dungeons & Dragons (3.5 edition). Usually means that we normally meet at the Saturdays on the weekend with 5 people at about 8 p.m. Unfortunately some of my mates cannot resist the pressure of reading sourcebooks over and over again. Therefore we do not start playing (and rolling dice) before 10 p.m.

Moreover I’m not quite sure how to handle media files with the new WordPress library, especially images. That’s why I tend to continue usage of the NextGen Gallery. Continue reading
