New address
Former flatmates, and any of you who have ever sent me anything via snail mail, will have learned that I suck royally at checking my mailbox. Combine that with a year of hopping between apartments, and I decided it was time to fix that by buying a virtual office. Now you can send stuff to me at the following address, and it will be automatically scanned and emailed to me so that I will actually see it more often than once every three months 🙂 There are lots of these services available, but I’m using ClevverMail, a local Berlin based company since they can provide me with a local address and are affordable for those of us who receive minimal amounts of mail.

DeutschlandHere is a postcard I sent to myself to test out the service. They did miss the “t” and “e” off of “testing”, but it at least arrived and I can see what it is. You can see the original PDF they sent me here.

Islamic flag burning
It’s not often you stumble across a web page explaining how to burn an Islamic flag, and then find your name listed at the footer of the page. This happened to me this evening …

Drunk Google
Go home Google, you are drunk. I viewed the page https://www.google.com/work/search/products/gss.html and got the German language. I couldn’t read some of it, so I changed to a UK based IP and the page wouldn’t load. So I tried a USA based IP and I got the following.
Basing languages off of geolocation is mind numbingly stupid. Don’t do it.
Update: I just noticed there is a select box at the bottom of the page which lets you force the language selection to whatever you desire.

The Dear Leader’s mouse
So it turns out that the Dear Leader Kim Jong Un uses exactly the same model of roller ball mouse as I do.

The Pink Giant
Beelitz-Heilstätten is the unfortunate location where the “Beast of Beelitz” went on a killing spree over five years, eventually killing a total of five women. She was eventually caught masturbating at the hospital and arrested. She was also nicknamed the “Pink Giant” due to her size and propensity to steal pink lingerie. Since 2009, she has undergone hormone treatment for gender reassignment. She is still in prison to this day.
These are some photos I took whilst at the now abandoned hospital recently.
