Next Vacation Destination

I must admit, it’s pretty cool, to see pictures of Monaco, you just browse to Monaco. How intuitive!
The first time I visited Panoramio, I wasn’t really impressed with it: it had the Google Maps Javascript application embedded in every page, which slowness-effect just annoys you on a Gigahertz computer. And every time you click an image you navigate away from the current page, loading another page, with another JS-bloat, argh! [And here I am with a cool answer to this problem, but I'm just sitting on it!]
But then, even something as simple as that can be bought by Google. Geez, I wish I had thunk of that! 
INSERT INTO `amazon`.`wishlist` (id) VALUES (SELECT id FROM `products` WHERE `name`=’Aston Martin DB9′);
Can’t believe how much I am online…
- Go to work: boot up, start the IM client formerly known as Gaim.
- Go home: boot up, same procedure, sit in front of the computer the whole night.
I should get a phone with a flatrate data option and a mobile messenger… hah.
After all the bullshit Ferrari’s done to McLaren last year, it was great to see McLaren winning the race and Ferrari getting it all fucked up…
Bad luck for Kovalainen having the safety car just before he stopped for fuel, but what a great move against Alonso 3 laps from the finish, I think Ron Dennis enjoyed it too.
What is it with MySpace and other sites’ insistence, that because I visit them from a German IP, they should supply me with the German interface? It’s so f-ing irritating to read profiles in English and then having German words and thinking “What now? Oh wait that’s a German word.”.
Can’t they respect the browser’s setting of preferred content language? They probably think “Users are too dumb to be able to set that!”. Well fuck you for disrespecting your users!
Serves me right for visiting MySpace…
