2012-10-12 Fixed a bug in mycolorize-r.sh
2012-10-03 Some old pages have been removed

2012-08-05 Updated netstat.php: Now more KISS, more IPv6, and flushing
See also the new list of changes.
2012-08-03 Old defunct literature database removed
Since the early 2000s, I had a small searchable literature database on-line, listing books and short comments mostly about system theory, modelling, and philosophy. The list hasn't been updated since many years, the code doesn't work well anymore, and focuses shifted, apparently. So, I figured is was time to say goodbye.
It was available at http://www.fam.tuwien.ac.at/~schamane/cgi-bin/literatur/, and archive.org captured a bit of it.
2012-07-30 New version 2.05 of autoreply_deferentially.rc

2012-05-08 Public mUps code and related pages removed
mUps (short for mUlti-Purpose Text Database System) was a set of PHP files that allowed to set up a simple database system that worked on plain text files, offering basic CRUD functions. The code was publicly available and licensed under GPL. In May 2012, I removed the public pages, basically because I consider the code to be of minor use for anyone (except myself). Besides, it does have significant design flaws. Archived pages are available thanks to archive.org.
2012-04-01 Verfassungsklage gegen Vorratsdatenspeicherung
2012-03-02 ChooSE: removed Scroogle + Yauba, added DuckDuckGo + StartPage
Unfortunately, Scroogle (link to Wikipedia entry) had to give up. Yauba didn't stay up long. DuckDuckGo and the ixquick-powered StartPage look promising.
Added 2012-03-14: An interesting thread on StackExchange's IT security forum: Why would someone trust DuckDuckGo or other providers with a similar privacy policy?

2011-05-04 Add the Internet Archive Wayback Machine to your Firefox search engines (updated 2011-06-12)
The Internet Archive's Wayback Machine changed its search interface, so that the search plugins as provided for instance by mycroft.mozdev.org don't work anymore. The above is a quick and dirty hack to re-enable the searches. Note: When searching for a URL the http:// is required.

2010-10-02 Re-Alpine 2.02 has been released
2010-09-01 Prof. Karl Karrer, M.D., renowned Austrian cancer researcher, passed away 2010-08-27 at age 87 Professor Karrer was born in Kufstein, Austria, in 1923. All his life was dedicated to cancer research, especially small cell lung cancer (SCLC). He was among the founding members of the IASLC.
In Vienna, Austria, he helped to establish the Institute of Cancer Research where he held leading positions until his retirement. As a chairman of the The Lung Cancer Study Group of the International Society of Chemotherapy (ISC-LCSG) he ran an international randomized study with the largest patient data pool at that time.
In 1996, Professor Karrer was elected a member of The New York Academy of Sciences.
His main scientific objectives were the role of surgery for cure followed by chemotherapy, and the importance of pTNM staging of SCLC.
