Breakfast pics, geek talk, minor crisis

Went for breakfast again. Took some pics because... well, because I can XD



Mine :)



left: bro's, ahead: mum's



Mum explaining how offside works (World Cup soon) ^^

BTW, if you look at the file names, you can learn what breakfast means in German. Frühstück ^^

(Beware, geek stuff ahead!)
My USB-stick (Kuro-chan) now runs both Portable Firefox and Thunderbird. That way, I can take my bookmarks and email with me.
The only problem that's left is the fact that I can't type while the USB stick is connected. My PC only has two USB ports, and both of them are constantly in use (tablet + keyboard). To get that outta the way, I bought a 4-port USB hub.
I really wonder why I keep buying pink things. Hello, I hate pink! O_o

Yeah I know, I'm posting despite not having anything interesting to say. Maybe it's just me trying to distract myself from myself. From the fact that I'm no good after all. Crap crap crap crappy me. Shippai da yo, boku....
*looks at new Kai pics to get mood back up*
Never mind me...

Goleo

Speaking of the sovver World Cup...
Do you like Goleo, the official mascot?
A lot of people in Germany seem to think he's stupid or annoying or whatever. But I say he's cute. I mean, who could resist a seven-foot smiling lion that holds a talking ball? I can't ^^ Actually, I'm planning to get a small Goleo plushie to carry around while the World Cup is being held (June).
What I didn't get was why some said it's weird that he doesn't wear any pants. Does Donald Duck wear pants? Idiots. Probably it's just us Germans doing what we're best at: Being negative -_-

The official site has a nice gallery here.

Troll warning

I just read my flist and on cruel_sisters LJ, there was a comment by a guy named Magnus Becker. My jaw really dropped when I saw that. Some stuff about a journal against sexual exploitation and - which is most important - about linking back to him.
Now this is something I have to tell you about. The problem ios that if you're not German, you probably don't know about it at all. But I'm here and trying to be useful, so here's the story is short cut:
That guy is a troll. He's been disturbing the German weblog scene (and various message boards as well, IIRC) for a couple of years now.
He caused a major uproar on a German weblog hosting site called myblog.de in early 2005. I like to call it the "Kelly incident" (Kelly was the 15-year old girl he pretended to be). He created a weblog on there and pretened to be a teenage girl fighting against sexual exploitation. The thing is that his writing style the fact that it was a grown guy who was behind all the writing. But still it seems that a number of people fell for him and linked back to his blog, quickly getting it on top of the list of most read weblogs, which seemed to have been one of his aims. Well, to get more and more popular, he commented on every weblog and guestbook asking people to link back to him, staring flamewars with people who told her him to fuck off and finally got his ass banned from the place. I followed the whole story back then and read quite a lot about him so I know what's behind this.
Seems like he's reverting to other methods now. Like, Myspace and whatever comes in handy or is trendy at the current time. And it looks like this includes Livejournal as well. Plus, he's still running various sites, weblogs and whatnot. And I thought he was gone for good. How very wrong I was indeed.
My point is that he's only trying to get attention. Don't reply to anything he's telling you, merely delete his stuff and - most importantly - DO NOT link back to him.
The fact that he even switched to English to do the same stuff he's been doing for I dunno how many years just creeps me out like nothing else.
BTW, people who are capable of reading German can still read my detailed report about the 2005 events concerning Mr Becker here.
Off to report this on my German blog now. This disturbing piece of news just HAS to be spread!

€dit: *lol*, cruel_sister , you deleted that guy's comment faster than I could write ;)
