On the occasion of the huge success of the Berlin Pirate Party in yesterday’s elections, here’s a little song text (to be sung to Still Alive from the game Portal):

Still Offline?

This was a triumph!
I’m making a note here:
HUGE SUCCESS!
It’s hard to overstate
our satisfaction.

Pirat-e Party
We do what we must
because we can!

For the good of all of us
Except the ones who’re offline.

But there’s no use crying over every lost vote
we just keep on trying till we run out of rum.

There are posters to be done,
and we print out our programme
for the people who are
still offline.

We’re not even jaunty,
We’re trying to be sincere right now.
Even though they tried to disdain
and trolled us.

And tried to divide us
and then patronised us
once again.
But we don’t care because we all
feel so happy we we won!

Now these votes all count up
to a nice round amount
and we won our seats
We are pwning the house

So we’re glad we got trolled –
’cause that’s how all the people learned
especially those who are
still offline.

Go ahead and troll us!
We won’t loose our peace of mind over that
Maybe someone else
will give you food?
Maybe those nazis
That was a joke! HAHA! Fat chance!!

Anyway we’ll have cake tonight
that’s so delicious and moist!

Look at me: still talking
when there’s still work to do.
When i look out there,
It makes me glad I’m not you!

We have web sites to be run.
There is politics to be done.
And there are people who are
still offline.

Like your grannie, she is
still offline

and all your friends, they are all
still offline.

And one day soon they won’t be
still offline.

And that’s your end because you are
still offline.

And then you’re dead because you’re
still offline

still offline?

still offline.

Hello all,

so I’ve finally come around to redo my web site. And tell you what: I had it with making my own content management systems and such – I just installed WordPress and thought I’d rather try to build on someone else’s work.

Now, there is still a bit of work for me to to transferring all the old data (including quite a bit that wasn’t on my own site yet, but rather spread all around the internet. So don’t expect too much too soon :-)

Ever got letter soup and don’t know how to clean it up?
