Sadly, the Wordbooker plugin, which published WordPress posts on Facebook and synchronised the comments, is no longer available. Its author seems fed up with over-demanding users, the changing Facebook API and didn’t enjoy coding it any longer. That’s a pity. Is there a comparable plugin? I don’t want to facebookisise my blog, as the official […]
Nothing much has happened here for quite some time – sometimes due to lack of time, sometimes due to lack of stuff to write about. But in mid-September, my provider disconnected my blog because of a DDos attack, which started to impacted their server.
Just recently, the Landesvermessung und Geobasisinformation Brandenburg (LGB) published the Brandenburg parts of the historic survey by Schmettau. The maps were produced between 1767 and 1787 at a scale of 1:50000. As an example, this is Cottbus and surroundings (link takes you to the Brandenburg-Viewer):
I have read about this, but hadn't watched it yet. I'd better left it at that – this video is really as bad as people say. 🙁 At least the role of the man is limited to passively ogling women…
Since a few days, there's another personal blog by a BTU researcher about the current university politics and Mrs Kunst's (and the ministry's) structure plans: btuinsider.wordpress.com. However, is in German only. Until now, it contains two critical articles (about too-fast implementation and about Mrs Kunst's math skills), but I hope he/she will write more! Update: […]

The EnergyMap project of the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Sonnenenergie e.V. (German Society for Solar Energy) presents the data that is collected as a requirement of the Renewable Energy Act. Sadly, the site is in German only. I'll give some pointers and translations to the interesting areas. The energy map (Energiekarte) shows the distribution of various […]
I've bought a “Bavaria Ticket Single” online. Afterwards, I was asked to take part in a little survey. Having time and being in a friendly mood, I agreed. But then, this rather weird questions pops up: Translation: Are you traveling with the Bavaria Ticket Single alone or with several people? alone group of two group […]
I've waited so long for this, and now I've almost missed it: there are some first results from the geoblog survey 2009. Lutz Geißler presents a summary on geoberg.de (and a shorter German version on geonetzwerk.org). Also, there's going to be a publication about it in a not-yet-known journal. It's interesting (similar to the first […]

The new geoblog survey is online this month. This aims at getting a better picture of the geoblogosphere, and to find out what's good, what's bad, what's missing. However, participitation has been low yet. So if you own a geoscience-oriented blog, take this short survey! The survey is open until 1st November.
When preparing my post on the human arm as a geological timescale I looked up the colours for my table from the ICS’s International Stratigraphic Chart. This colour scheme is in turn based on the International Geological Map of the World. The ICS offers both the “official” CMYK and the corresponding RGB colour codes for […]
