Progress in Human Geography

Glaciers are key icons of climate change and global environmental change. However, the relationships among gender, science, and glaciers – particularly related to epistemological questions about the production of glaciological knowledge – remain understudied. This paper thus proposes a feminist glaciology framework with four key components: 1) knowledge producers; (2) gendered science and knowledge; (3) systems of scientific domination; and (4) alternative representations of glaciers. Merging feminist postcolonial science studies and feminist political ecology, the feminist glaciology framework generates robust analysis of gender, power, and epistemologies in dynamic social-ecological systems, thereby leading to more just and equitable science and human-ice interactions.

Hostel-Betreiber aus dem Grunewald in Berlin: Entnervt von „Sozialindustrie“

So etwas wie ihren Grunewald gibt es in Homs oder Aleppo nicht, hatten sich Neil und Gülnur Nadarajah im Spätsommer 2015 gedacht – und ein Experiment gewagt: Sie boten an, 40 unbegleitete minderjährige Flüchtlinge den Winter über in ihrer Waldherberge unterzubringen. Das verschaffte ihnen einen Einblick in „die Abgründe der Sozial- und Flüchtlingsindustrie“, wie sie es nennen.

From Agile to Anarchy

TM1 development has undergone a subtle evolution over the years.

As a relatively early adopter (I still refer to TM1 as an Applix product occasionally, and I remember the original version of TM1Web) of the technology, I’ve watched this evolution with interest, and feel what I have been doing with Flow, is an attempt to bring that evolution full circle and get back to those early glory days.

32c3 gated communities

Obwohl ich verschlafen habe, gab’s um kurz nach halb zehn noch Tagestickets – Daumen hoch. Bisher gesehen: den Openening Event, „The mummy unwrapped“ und jetzt „NSA-Untersuchungsausschuss: Zwischen Aufklärungswillen und Mauern aus Schweigen“.

xyz „ohne Programmierkenntnisse“

Ich bin mir gerade nicht sicher, ob ich die Aussagen von Softwareherstellern, man könnte ihr Werkzeug „ohne Programmierkenntnisse“ einsetzen, verfluchen oder willkommen heißen soll.

Verfluchen, weil: das Versprechen ist uneinhaltbar. Willkommen weil: ich darf das dann aufräumen und werde dafür bezahlt.

Native IPv6

Yay, we have native IPv6 connectivity now! I just called the service line of my provider. While I was on the phone the agent said „Yes, I am sure to activ…“ buzz buzz buzz – line was cut when she changed the setting.

Small problem

Well, I got into the habit of playing minecraft. I did an automatic wheat farm that is creating so much wheat I’m having to deal with the excess, same goes for the potato farm.

A real problem seems to be my portal based gold farm. Since I built everything around the spawn chunk, the zombie pigmen spawned by my zombie farm will hang around indefinetly, which isn’t a problem in the overworld, but kind of gets problematic on the nether side of things:

Due to extraordinary success of my pigmen spawner, the guys decided to have a cocktail party in the nether that got out of hand.
Due to extraordinary success of my pigmen spawner, the guys decided to have a cocktail party in the nether that got out of hand.

It’s a bit hard to get those unwanted party guests to leave without cheating. So to add method to the madness, I shall create a piston mob trap and crusher to get these guys to drop the gold nuggets they carry around.

If I get those endermen to leave, that would be a definite plus!
