Neues vom Nordkap

19.09.2003 15:40

Maybe I should change the name of this blog. I am sick of all these people in my referers searching for "Nordkap" and "Wohnmobil". Can't they think of more exiting way for passing their holidays? wo 's funny bookmarklet,suggests "Neues vom Nraokdp". The bookmarklet is nice, but it has still some bugs, since it does not always leave the first and the last letter of a word in its position as is required by the study. Anyway this might work for languages with short words such as English, it certainly won't in German. Just imagine to track a word with, say, thirty letters. I personally would not spot "Nordkapstrasse" in this string: "Nsksdarrspoate" Well that's maybe why Germany got such a bad score in this PISA business.

About

My name is Magdalena Luz. I grew up in Switzerland. I studied physics at Humboldt University Berlin, where I used to live in "Nordkapstrasse" (North Cape street). That's how this blog got its name. After a short intermezzo in Copenhagen, DK, I live now in the amazing city of Wuppertal. This is a place the wild, wild West of Germany, built on 7 hills, (which is really the only thing it has in common with Rome) It is populated by the strange species of homo germanicus occidens communis, also known as 'gemeiner Wessi'. And even with her it is light years away from ever being like Berlin.
