Since last week my former bank was “integrated” into the Dresdner Bank.
Look at the Website and you can already see why I am looking for a new bank.
This Website is just ugly, especially the Online Banking portal. The charges will be expensive. And the service is bad too :-(. The most hilarious, they are trying to force me to use their branch bank in Munich which is 400km from Vienna.
Since all banks suck, I am looking for the one that sucks less.
I will need a preferable cheap 🙂 giro and custody account with good Online-Banking Interface that works with Konqueror and Opera.

Goodbye Eastern Europe!
Just in case you have come to this site looking for a stocks advisory,
I’ll start selling my Eastern Europe funds tomorrow. The russian political situation does not look promising.
Another broadcasted concert
I should listen to FM4 on Saturday night regulary. Today they are broadcasting a concert of Dave Gahan, the voice from Depeche Mode.
He is singing tomorrow at the Gasometer in Vienna.
CD Garbage
Today I cleaned my CD boxes. Now my garbage can contains two dozen CDs with various magazin CDs with Shareware Collections, Internet browsers and of course Linuxdistributions like DLD 6, Debian 2.2, Mandrake 8, RedHat 7.1, SuSE 7, NetBSD 1.5, a BeOS 4 demo and so on.
I kept the more interesting ones like a SCO Unixware demo, a BeOS 5, and a FreeBSD 3.1 from 1999 (which I probably never installed, since the first one I can remember was 4.0). I have also kept the payware CDs like my “NT Workstation 4.0”.
Turn on the radio now!
Well I don’t think anybody living in Austria will read my Weblog in this hour, but just in case. Otherwise you have to listen to this Ogg-stream. FM4 is broadcasting a dZihan & Kamien (no I haven’t found their homepage yet) live concert. Great jazzy dancefloor music.
Powerpointlessness
The last post for today to complete this Bloggingday points to a nice article Killing me Microsoftly with PowerPoint by Julia Keller. I have laughed a lot about the Robert Frost presentation.
I discovered it while reading about a university course about Weblogs and Powerpoint (Sorry page is in German).
EUROphobie
RSS feeds are back again. le was guilty again. A not encoded Euro sign broke the XML-RSS perl module. Maybe I should switch the script to a less strict XML module, e.g. I found in my http log a python script that promises to manage every broken feed. While typing this topic I noticed that MT also has serious problems with encoding the Eurosign.
BTW the headline also fits to another news item from today. Jean Claude Trichet today replaced Wim Duisenberg as new governor of the European Central Bank.
How to enter Austria without visa
New 802.11g IOS for Cisco AP1200 Accesspoints available?
On Thurday Release Notes for IOS 12.2(13)JA appeared on the Cisco Website. It looks like this release finally includes support for 802.11g.
Interesting information from the Release Notes:
- Disable Radios to Prevent Unexpected Reboot When Upgrading System Software
- Some non-Cisco Aironet 802.11g client devices require a firmware upgrade before they can associate to the 802.11g radio in the access point
Unfortunately it isn’t available from the Download Center yet. Additional AFAIK 802.11g needs new antennas which aren’t available in Austria yet. So it will take some time until the tuwien WLAN supports 802.11g.
Knoppix is broken!
It is really b0rken 🙂
