News Archives: Year 2006

For everyone who doubtfully watches the overwhelming position of Google and Microsoft in the world of information control, there is a nice flash movie out there that you should really watch. Take yourself about 15 minutes and enjoy Epic 2015.

I feel really bad: I didn't change the picture on the Home page for more than a year. This is now done. I hope to do this regularly now. I also created a small archive of all pictures that were once published on this page.

I'm providing you a new service: The five latest news and message board postings are now available as RSS-Feeds. Please feel free to use them (Feed for the news and for the message board) to stay up to date with Schwicky.net.
These feeds will replace the newsletter which has never really worked.

To all X-Files fans out there: I received so many E-Mails asking me when I would put the transcripts of the remaining episodes (seasons 7 to 9) online that I couldn't resist anymore... The six first episodes of season 7 (Hungry, The Goldberg Variation, Sixth Extiction, Sixth Extinction 2 - Amor Fati, Millennium, Rush) are now online. Enjoy!

I opened a new page called "Meet the Schwickerath's" which is supposed to become an open forum for exchange, meeting and finding people called Schwickerath. As of today, it's in a draft form, no real content and more of a placeholder. If you have suggestions on how to realize this project, feel free to contact me so that your ideas can be incorporated.

There are many enjoyable places around Langnau where I could spend all my time. I've put a few snapshots at your discretion in the gallery.

Today, it's SysAdminDay. Take care of this day and thank your sysadmin for everything she or he does in order to keep your computer, your network, your printer, your e-mail, your internet radio and so on running smoothly.

It's the President, stupid and The hunt for the Lame Duck is open are among the best quotes I've heard so far about the US Congress elections.
I'm really glad to see that the USA have a working democracy that allows the people to sanction political decisions which they believe to be wrong. In addition, I'm relieved that the majority of American people have realized the errors of the Bush administration and have allowed the Democrats to now better control the decisions of the White House.

I wish everyone out there a happy new year and hope you can enjoy the few free days left from this holiday. Let 2007 be even better for each one of us.
