Champcars: Todays Champcar Race in San Jose is not broadcasted live this week but tomorrow the 1st Aug. at 23:15 CET on Eurosport.

Yesterday we took a little trip to Detmold to visit the Hermannsdenkmal and do some Geocaching nearby. The statue is pretty impressive, over 50m high, and on the top of a little mountain. It was built in 1875 to be a symbol of Napoleons demise and the unity of Germany, which was at that time a mosaic of 38 sovereign states. After this flash of history and a nice view over Detmold we turned our attention to seek Hermann’s Cache (GC8C41) and found it rather quickly. For everyone who is into adventure sports and such, there is the Teuto-Kletterpark where you can climb from tree to tree over ropes and wooden platforms.
After this we drove to Detmold’s airfield to get the Luftsport Cache Detmold (GCH0QB).
Was a nice afternoon trip, very interesting.

Gestern war der erste Freitag nachdem der “Peking Express” zuende gegangen war. Ich habe die show verfolgt und fand das es eines der gelungensten Formate im TV seit Jahren ist. Es ging darum als erstes unter 8 zweier-Teams von Moskau nach Peking zu gelangen, mit nur 2€ pro Tag. Als Zuschauer habe ich mich immer gefragt, ob das jetzt alles so echt oder gefaked ist. Anja und Mark, die Gewinner, geben auf Ihrer Website viele interessante Eindrücke und Antworten aus erster Hand. Besonders interessant fand ich die FAQs.
RTL plant leider keine 2. Staffel, obwohl in Belgien die Show sehr erfolgreich schon in der 2. Staffel läuft. Am besten jeder schreibt eine Mail an die RTL-Zuschauer Redaktion und beschwert sich. Wäre echt schade wenn das Format stirbt.

I just stumbled upon this site with templates for Blogger blogs. Looks quite nice.
BLOGGER TEMPLATES :: A template for my blog

I just saw that IBM gave it’s Notes.net forum a nice facelift. They put some tabs in to switch between different views, search and forum news.
Notes/Domino 6 Forum

Another handy tool I found for Firefox users: Now there is a search-plugin for the Lotus Notes Forum. Just search for “Notes.net” or click here.

I just redirected one of my domains to my blog. Now the address for the blog is simply www.hesspoint.com. That makes things easier and also once I probably switch my blog the adress stays the same.

This might be my last post here at Blogger. I really like the plattform, but I need categories. I actually can’t understand why Blogger is denying its users such an essential feature. I event wrote a mail to customer service but no response
It would be really cool if some of you could actually write them email to and bug them. Maybe they realize how important it is. Use this contact form.
Anyway I gotta get back at writing my master thesis…
