Some people really don’t know how to create hyperlinks it seems to me. I recently got a request to explain it and that’s why I will do it here (in short) for everybody who has problems with it.
Basically it is very simple. You can install the W.Bloggar and write postings through this tool. Then you only need to press a button and the link will appear automatically. In a similar way you can use Blogger, there is also a button (looks like a chain?) in the “create a posting” screen. But if you want to do it manually, here you are. (For more information please google yourself. You will find enough pages which explain it.)

If you use this code your page will be opened in the same browser window:

<a href=" URL">Text to be displayed</a>

for example: <a href="www.got-blog.blogspot.com">Gerolf’s Blog</a>

If you use that code your page will be opened in a new browser window:

<a href="URL" target="_blank">Text to be displayed</a>

for example: <a href="www.got-blog.blogspot.com" target="_blank">Gerolf’s Blog</a>

I hope the answers will satisfy you, if you still have problems just drop me a comment.

This is actually more to my classmates: If you are interested further in computers and internet and certain topics spoken about in class, I want to recommend you the Öffentliche Ringvorlesung “Informatik verstehen” offered by the Martin-Luther-University Halle. Unfortunately some of the interesting topics are outside of our deadline to write the term paper but maybe you would still be interested…

The full program is directly available as PDF (and in colour) when you click here.

Further information about the single lectures you get at the Fachbereich für Mathematik und Informatik.

What happens next Ein Blick in die Zukunft

I feel being prevented. That computer! But anyway it was my fault why it is broken now. No! Ha! Of course I will not tell you how I did it! However it is still not fixed. I thought of sending it in but to everyone: Become an Acer technician! You would get €80 per hour! And everyone would come to you because it is impossible to fix it yourself. I didn’t want to pay this of course. So I was asking the biggest computer shop in town to repair it. But they didn’t accept it and had sent it in too, with the only difference that in addition they would charge something for - don’t ask me - labelling it maybe. So I left with the advice to try it in other shops. That’s what I did by phone. But I found no shop which accepted to have a look at it. They were all - as it seemed to me - scared to take notebooks. They are so small that you easily can break something and do worse than anything good. Well, I seriously wondered why in their advertisement in the yellow pages was written NOTEBOOK REPAIR!

Despaired I called a friend. He is much into software development if he knows a hardware guy. Yea, he does. I will meet him on Friday. But already yesterday I thought of another solution… if maybe has published in his blog how to open an Acer Travelmate 800. It seems to be impossible because the case is still sticking together although all the screws are out.

But I miss my computer a lot! I wondered how can I continue blogging? Aren’t we bound to our computers? No emails, no blogs. Terrible. Yes, terrible! A few months ago this sentence had been: “No emails. Terrible!”. But this month it is “No emails, no blogs. Terrible.” That is an interesting change if you re-read the first entry. Thus, so far I would say I have “extended my horizon”. Blogging became somehow a part of my (contemporary) life which is comparable with email, chat, VoIP.

The “desire” is even that big that I found a way to post another entry despite still not having my own computer. And actually the general growing computerization and mobility made it possible. Everybody has a computer and the internet is widely accessible. If you have no computer just go to a friend, your parents, your job, there you would surely find one.

This time I owe it to my girlfriend that I am some sort of “online”. It is not the own computer, no WBloggar, Feedreader and other personal tools. But still I can use it to upload my posting.

It seems not to be important if in our “mobile society” one individual member is broken down. There is enough capacity provided by all the other units. Sending emails, blogging and all the other internet use is not limited to the “elite”, those who own the hardware, but actually accessible from everyone and -where.
- Fortunately!

Sorry... I can neither comment nor blog at the moment. My computer needs a repair. It should be fixed by the end of next week I hope. (Incredible how expansive the customer's support is!)
