Yesterday was another ChaosMeeting of our little group at the Herder Gymnasium Nordhausen.
The presentation of Markus about the "Artificial Intelligence" was skipped and we
talked a little bit about MacOS X and the free software project
Celestia.
A funny story about Celestia was that it is really difficult to zoom into space. That's why
Pascal watched five(?) minutes into black space and waited for Sol. But Sol was gone long time ago
because of the high time value.
Another difficult thing was to find the
Cassini orbiter in our
Milky Way.
We think it's even not
implemented in Celestia, but if you find it, please send us a screenshot.
If you are interested in Celestia (a free space simulation that lets you explore our universe in three dimensions), you can have an additional look at the screenshots on its website.
And now: Good night everybody and enjoy your weekend!
Hello out there.
Today the domain wikipedia.de was closed, you can access the german Wikipedia only via
de.wikipedia.org now.
The reason of that is a "legal issue" because of a Wikipedia article.
An article
about Tron in the german Wikipedia execute a conflict between the family of Tron
and the Wikimedia Foundation Inc.
That's why they closed the domain wikipedia.de
The main point of the conflict is that the german article about Tron includes his full
personal name. The family don't want the Wikipedia to publish the full name of Tron.
You can have a look at the edit war
of this article.

Blogs from some CCC members about this issue:
It's 03:24 MEZ now, and I am listening to Chaosradio Express 013. Chaosradio Express was live from the 22. Chaos Communication Congress with an interview with Jacob Appelbaum.
"Episode 13 of Chaosradio is yet another interview with a speaker at 22C3: Jacob Appelbaum. In a very intense and personal way, Jacob reports on his experiences visiting Kurdistan (Iraq) and the post-Katrina times in Houston and New Orleans this year.", -- http://chaosradio.ccc.de/cre013.html
It is a really nice show with a lots of information about the Iraq and some backgrounds about the Congress. Go forward and listen to it, too!
