Shlomo Sand’s Wikipedia page under Chabad attack
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shlomo_Sand – see the history of this page
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Shlomo_Sand – see the history of this page
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Debresser – Rabbi Dovid de Bresser, a member of the Chassidic movement Chabad
- I assume de Bresser this way (in his thinking) is adding credit points on his way to eternal happiness – he is fighting a religious war against a scientist

watched tonight “Midsomer Murders” The Ballad of Midsomer County (2015)
- http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3782714 : “Midsomer Murders” – The Ballad of Midsomer County (2015)
- http://www.springfieldspringfield.co.uk/view_episode_scripts.php?tv-show=midsomer-murders-1997&episode=s17e03
- watched it over the Internet, but I got asked not to tell the website (in public) – so that it does not get shut down – I doubt …, but still …
- I looked up a couple of words / expressions, and here they are:
English German bleach Reinigungsmittel nt buffoon Kasper m to be elated at [or by] sth über etw akk hocherfreut sein knapsack Rucksack m punter Kunde (Kundin) m (f) ghoul Mensch m mit schaurigen Gelüsten scrubber Flittchen nt pej fam to scorn sb/sth jdn/etw verachten -
now I understand, why Facebook urged me to name my “close friends” – they started buzzing me for every single post of my “close friends”
It hurts a little, but in Facebook terms I now drastically reduced the set of my “close friends”. I do need my silence.

I got around to update my CV and circulate it a little
- http://Hayek.Berlin/Jochen-CV.html
- the HTML indentation is a little flawed, should be easy to revert the stylesheets occasionally
- the mean focus is always on the Word files – they are there – in English and German
- now that I familiarised myself again with that task (and whatever is involved), I shouldn’t lose that fast again – it’s important nowadays to update ones CV rather timely
- with regular updates you also make sure, your toolchain is operable – what a hassle it is, to fix a broken toolchain, if you should actually work on an urgent update!!
