It's not a blog, it's a feature

A picture tells more than thousand words ...

Thank you Ronaldinho for your brilliance and thank you Werder Bremen and especially FC Barcelona for a thrilling soccer evening

by the way: take a look at the amazed faces of the Werder Bremen players where the ball is ;)

In the deep winter - how can it be? Very easy, go to your local cinema and watch the movie Litte Miss Sunshine. The independent movie is great, with a very positive message letting you smile most of the time and causing fits of laugther. At the same time it is a subtle critique on the american society and the beauty mania.

Go and see it to have a really nice evening and all the time you have to push your car to start, you will think of the movie - I promise you!

Did it happen to you that some detail in Micro$oft Windows seems like the programmers never ever used their program themselves because it is not practical. And then take open source products - they are developed by people who use that program every day and think - "Maybe I can add a feature here or make a detail easier to work with".

Don't believe me - I have two examples for you:
- Open Office: I decided to use Open Office instead of the Microsoft match and then I thought about what tool to use to be able to convert documents to pdf format. There is no need for it - Open Office contains the feature as part of it, just a simple click on the pdf icon and there is your ready-made pdf file.
- Linux FTP: I thought about what program to install for a ftp upload and then I found out that the standard file explorer Konqueror or Nautilus has the feature to upload files to a ftp server.

I would be nice if you can add also an example how you benefited of how practicable open source can be.
