Nazis in the modern age
Wednesday, January 26th, 2005Another week, another blog. Work is going really well. I’ve learned so much about multithreading and asynchronous IO in the last month that it isn’t even funny. :holyshit: The toolkits at my disposal are unbelieveably mature and have been evolved for over a decade. Even so, we are always adding to them and improving them. I can’t imagine starting a new toolkit from scratch after what I’ve worked with. 
I’m excited to go to work every day now, for every day brings a new challenge and exciting challenge.
Right now, I’m sitting on my couch, on my laptop, watching a documentary on Auschwitz. This week is the 60th anniversary of when the camp was liberated. I’ve never been to that camp, but I have been to the first camp, Dachau, in Munich and a work camp Hohenschwangau, just outside of Hamburg. Camps like Auschwitz could only exist outside of Germany because of the atrocities that took place there. The camps I saw were no picnic, but there were nothing compared to mass extermination camps of Poland.
I still hear people talk about Germany as a country of “Nazis” to this day. I know it’s a joke, but I find it very ironic that these people who believe in the forced spread of democracy in modern times call the peaceful modern-day people of Germany Nazis. /rant
A month or two ago, I made some changes to the site to make it search engine friendly. Since then, I’ve taken over 600 search engine hits per week and over 200 human hits a week. Most people are searching for stuff about Europe’s tourist attractions, so they end up on our blogs or in our galleries. It’s interesting to see all of the hits in the log. :dunce:
