I study computer science at the Humboldt University of Berlin. I also have a homepage there, where you can find some study related content such as some talks and notes, and a little program called htmldu that lets you determine the size of a website including images etc.

Links

Here are some links to sites or articles that I found useful, funny, or worth reading.

Software And Programming

Joel on Software

Joel Spolsky writes about software development. Contains several chapters of his book User Interface Design for Programmers and many articles with quite some insights into how to organize software development, how to meet deadlines, how to interview job candidates, how to (not) motivate people, how to get things done etc.

How To Write Unmaintainable Code

You are writing code in a company and want the people who come after you to need years to make even the simplest changes to your code? Then you should perhaps write unmaintainable code. Beware, if you overdo this even you won't be able to maintain the code. Find out for yourself if the author is serious about that. You might also be interested in How To Code Like A Newbie if you want to masquerade as someone young and inexperienced.

The Top Ten New Mistakes of Web Design

Read what you don't want to do on your websites.

Debian GNU/Linux

If your are looking for a powerful GNU/Linux distribution which is free and easy to get, install and upgrade, made by people who love their distribution more than your money and is open for your participation, then you should definitely try Debian.

Humor And Fun

Funplex: Ahmed Anvari's Fun Selection

A lot of funny jokes, texts and images. There is also a truth section with more contemplative content.

Funny Pictures Collection

Contains collection of funny photos, comics, cartoons and animations.

Lachschon.de: Huge Collection Of Funny Pictures

Another huge collection of funny photos and comics. The site is in German, but many pictures are funny even if you don't know German.

Silicon Art - Images On Computer Chips

See how computer chip designers have immortalized themselves with creative microscopic expressions on their chips. Chipworks has discovered these writings and images for you with their optical microscopes.

Start doing the things you think should be done, and start being what you think society should become. Do you believe in free speech? Then speak freely. Do you love the truth? Then tell it. Do you believe in an open society? Then act in the open. Do you believe in a decent and humane society? Then behave decently and humanely. - Adam Michnik
