edition selene presents viktor rogy reading on thursday 29 march 2001 at the viennese antique shop "buch & wein", schäffergasse 13a.

rogy created the infamous poster showing the ministers of the austrian extreme-right coalition with hitler moustaches and mirrored swastikas. however, i hope this is not his whole opus...

what a fucked up day in the end... i was not allowed to vote in vienna although every citizen of the european union may vote in elections like those for the viennese council 2001.

another person i do not recognize at all was registered as inhabitant of my flat and to be eligible voter instead of me. who knows about the viennese record sections (no computers!) will not doubt that this can happen quite easily. but i admit, such things make me a little bit nervous in this potato print democracy called austria.

at least the results are alright. a little kick in the blue bum and its black hole. however, just very few people did vote at all... "rise of the civil society" – as if!

...and then i was totally busy until now so i could not go to a little come-together i was invited.

mark lycette is coming over from down under to europa (lille, that is) and i would like to meet him in france but i cannot.

i am tired.

"many computer applications interrupt the user with silly questions, require the user to explicitly specify obvious selections, fail to remember even the simplest of things, and make inane, unnecessary statements. here are a few examples...

okay, okay: now i did watch "gefangene, die mit tesa vor dem mund in ihren zellen stehen und 'hmp! hmp!' machen"... it's an intense movie and i agree with jürgen wimmer that it is the "biggest package of unfiltered sadism and extreme violence" in german cinemas at the time.

i also agree that it is not a perfect movie. but since my attitude towards it was quite negative in the first place (mainly because moritz bleibtreu), i was quite surprised of all actors and the mise-en-scène. i also liked the images of the characters and how they changed during the escalating experiment.

the biggest mistake for me however, is that the plot misses the point of the original experiment's intentions: to prove that anyone reacts as his social position expects from him. no matter if one is an under- or over-educated person, power seduces and rears its ugly head.

sometimes i have to go the hard way for getting the clue: reading my solution for radio userland not rendering urls to complete hyperlinks in my radio blog as rss-box i understand that this is not sufficient, anyway. in the rss box still the urls appear as is and that's useless... now i have the choice: complain about why ru does not render urls in rss files neither or shut up and do the links manually?

more about my rss-box script: it can display other rss-boxes as well, e.g. dave winer's macintosh news or my "handsome" radio blog. currently, the rss files have to be in version 0.92 format (which does not seem to be a lot – but support for 0.91 is targeted).

btw: the rss-box script is done in rebol, a scripting language i am able to do complex tasks in a simple way (i am not a scripting pro).
