WikiLeaks founder cleared of sex allegations – Yahoo! News
What a surprise!!!! But actually from how bad it was made, you can see, it wasn’t made up by the FBI or the CIA but rather by amateurs.

two cantors at Berlin’s Rykestrasse Synagogue
Rykestrasse Synagogue – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wikipedia says it’t Germany’s largest synagogue. I was surprised to read this. I had not thought so.
This was another rather enlightening time at the synagogue. Will have to go their more often. Two cantors and a choir, perfect. Pulled me away from rather sad things happening around me.
After the concert those sad things started getting hold on me again, but only slowly.
I received another rather nice e-mail from one of the Haskell book authors (JG), that I had asked recently to be a trainer with my Haskell courses in Berlin, and that was rather enjoyable as well. We will see, how much demand there is for topics like Haskell, Scala, and GAE in Germany. If there is, than have a look at my specific web page in English resp. in German!

an event scheduler – my latest perl helper
The need for a new helper script in Perl arose recently. I called it JHschedule_courses.pl.
I wanted to create weekly events,
- given a start date,
- given the number of weeks,
- given the offset of the registration deadline,
- and given the offset of the end date of that event.
The output of JHschedule_courses.pl would be
- the start date within any such week,
- the respective registration deadline,
- and the respective end date.
This output would serve as a here document to a loop within a shell script, which in turn also uses an XML template (as another here document within that loop) and which would create an XML structure for any such event as described above, but obviously with some constant text included. The entire XML structure would (after some tweaking) get uploaded to a calendar system.
I was pretty sure, I could achieve this functionality using Steffen Beyer’s Date::Calc (esp. Add_Delta_YMD), which I have been using in variouses contextes for many years now. And now it’s done. Thanks a lot to Steffen Beyer! Do you have an Amazon wishlist?

how to convert a rectangular image into a square one using a command line utility?
Most of the images I download from LinkedIn or Xing are not square ones. But I want to make use of them in my Google Mail address book, which allows me to select a square sub-section of those rectangular images. I know how to transform rectangular images into square ones using Gimp, but that takes far too many manual steps. I would actually prefer a command line utility. Can anybody help?

SUSE Studio: Build openSUSE 11.3 appliances now
The interesting topic here (for me) is: how to build appliances for AWS? And apparently SUSE and AWS use incompatible versions of Xen. But sooner or later they are going to solve this.
