Forbidding the internet
The green party and the Linkspartei failed both to vote off that new rule.
But how about Canada forbidding hyperlinking:
http://www.cbc.ca/technology/story/2010/12/07/hyperlink-supreme-court-defamation-libel.html
Even if its not a real crack down, someone wrote at Slashdot:
"You simple make something very common illegal and then you don't enforce the law.
This way you make a lot of people criminals and you can cherry pick whoever you want to go after.
It is a very common way to get rid of the whole inconvient equal to the law thingy.."
And in Germany we have the instrument of 'Abmahnung'

Heilpflanzen sollen verboten werden
Jede(r) von uns benutzt im täglichen Leben Heilpflanzen in Form von Tees,chinesische, ayurvedische Mittel, Kräutermischungen etc. Dies soll alles verboten werden! Lest selbst:
Ab April 2011 soll das Gesetz für Nahrungsergänzungsmittelund Heilkräuter (THMPD - Traditional Herbal Medical Product Directive)EU-weit durchgesetzt werden. Das bedeutet: Die auf Teemischungen basierende Kräuterheilkunde wäre dannwahrscheinlich um die Hälfte der dort eingesetzten Kräuter beraubt, da es wenig"wissenschaftliche Forschung" über gebräuchliche, einheimische Kräuter gibt und diese dann ohne aufwändige Forschung keine Zulassung als Arzneimittel bekämen. Fast alle chinesischen und ayurvedischen Heilpflanzen und ein guter Teil dereuropäischen Heilpflanzen sollen mit dieser EU-Novelle verboten und aus dem Handelgenommen werden.
Die Gründe liegen auf der Hand: Die Pharmaindustrie hätte die Naturheilkunde"Schachmatt" gesetzt und könnte diesen wachsenden Markt für sich übernehmen. Jetzt sind wir alle gefragt und können noch Einfluss nehmen. In Deinem, Ihrem, Eurem und unserem Interesse BITTE diese Petition unterzeichnen,um dies vielleicht doch noch abzuwehren . . . *Bitte an alle Freunde und Bekannte weiterleiten, damit die Liste möglichst lang wird. Stichtag ist der 11.11.10. also es bleibt nicht mehr viel Zeit.
* * Man muß sich auf der Seite vom deutschen Bundestag registrieren* *
https://epetitionen.bundestag.de/index.php?action=petition;sa=details;petition=14032
und die Petition dann unterzeichnen - es dauert nicht lange !Hier noch ein Link mit sehr guten Infos bitte durchlesen !!!

Wonderland Wednesday
just attendend the Wonderland Wednesday meeting, first time for me in 3D chat for years. In the 90s we created a lot of artistic multiuser VRML worlds and had meetings via Blaxxun servers. After they went down there was silence but I kept looking for open alternatives, to create surreal multiuser experiences. Finally the open source Open Cobalt and Open Wonderland are good enough so I guess I will start to use Wonderland, also because I program Java but have a vague idea about Smalltalk, on which Cobalt is based.
New experience for me was the usage of voice chat, back in the 90s we had not the bandwidth for that fancy stuff, just text chat to communicate.

Alan W. Moore in Hamburg
Alan W. Moore, art historian and retired artist, speaks about the “House Magic” project. This “bureau of foreign correspondence” (himself) is a years-long project dedicated to explaining the movement of occupied social centers – besetzten Häusern mit politischen Richtung aka “Centro Sociale Occupato Autogestione” (CSOA) – to a U.S. audience. The first show was produced by the visual arts collective at ABC No Rio in NYC last year, and included “wallpaper,” stencils, banners, videos, books and dossiers from the internet. Later shows of this mobile archive were in Chicago and Philadelphia. Moore's research trip this summer has taken him to London, Madrid and now Hamburg. Auf Englisch mit some Deutschliches interpolation. With pictures.
Tomorrow 20:00 he speaks at Unlimited Liability (Norderstr. 71 ug) about "New York Art Gangs, post-'68"
--"Artists' groups do not make objects so much as they make changes"--
Beginning with the Arts Workers Coalition in 1969, NYC artists formed groups to advance their agendas and ideas. The arising of the Soho district, Gordon Matta-Clark, P.S. 1, Artists Meeting and Art & Language New York, Colab and punk art, Political Art Documentation group, and Group Material comprise a trajectory or lineage of politicized artistic practice. Today sees a resurgence of collective formations in the USA, and also a consideration of collective practice in itself. Alan Moore was a critic, video artist, and member of Colab, ABC No Rio, MWF Video Club, and hangs out with 16 Beaver Group. He is doctor (without medicine), and teaches when he can afford to. He is in Hamburg researching for "House Magic," an information project on European occupied social centers.

Am 29.04.2010 ab 19h ist der EINSTELLUNGSRAUM e.V., www.einstellungsraum.de, in der Jupibar des Gaengeviertel. Anlass ist das Releasen unseres jüngsten Kataloges, dem nämlich aus 2009.

Sharde space ist ein holländisches Verkehrskonzept und bedeute "gemeinschaftlich genutzter Raum". Die Jupibar des Gaengeviertel an der Ecke Speckstraße und Caffamacherreihe nutzen wir nun gemeinsam mit den beteiligten KünstlerInnen und Gästen, um diese Broschüre, die 2010 im Hyperzineverlag erschienen ist und vom EINSTELLUNGSRAUM e.V. herausgegeben wird, öffentlich zu machen. Es gibt eine kleine Leseaktion mit Brigitte Engel-Hiddemann und das, was die Jupibar zu bieten hat. Wir freuen uns auf interessierte Gäste. Die benachbarte Ausstellung in der Speckstraße von Silke Peters und Kimberly Horton "Unter diesen Umständen" wird zeitgleich geöffnet sein.

Icon Midi controllers
Their I-Stage and I-Creative are most destinct, I wonder of the quality and wether the leds can be controlled via Midi to give optical feedback, would be cool for stepsequencers!
They also offer a MackieControl clone called QCon for 500.- €, only downside: only 1 of the 9 motorized faders is touch sensible.

reverbscapes with Csound
Elektron +Drive memory upgrade
I dont like to make advertisement for free but as a Machinedrum owner I was curious, here is the text from Elektrons collapsed site:
The +Drive divides a machine in 128 Snapshots, which allows for thousands of patterns, sounds and songs to be stored internally and more or less instantly recalled. The +Drive also makes it possible for the Machinedrum SPS-1UW+ MKII to host over 6000 ROM samples. The Monomachine SFX-60+ MKII can be loaded with more than 8000 DigiPro user waveforms.
A Machinedrum Snapshot can contain up to 128 patterns, 64 kits, 32 songs and 8 globals. If the Machinedrum is a UW model, each Snapshot also contains a sample bank. A UW MKII sample bank consists of 48 ROM sample slots. A UW MKI sample bank consists of 32 ROM sample slots.
A Monomachine Snapshot can contain up to 128 patterns, 128 kits, 24 songs and 8 globals. In the case of the Monomachine MKII, a Snapshot also contains a Digibank consisting of 64 DigiPro user waveforms.
Either load a completely new Snapshot or a single Machinedrum sample bank/Monomachine Digibank. When loading a new Snapshot, all data will replaced by new content. Loading a new sample bank/Digibank means all other content of the current Snapshot stays intact. Load times for both options are just a few seconds.
The +Drive gives the enormous advantage of having thousands of patterns and kits available. Change Snapshots during a live performance for a completely new session. Load a fresh Machinedrum sample bank or Monomachine Digibank and experiment with new sounds in your currently active patterns and kits. A +Drive opens up a world of new possibilities.
All Machinedrum and Monomachine models are possible to upgrade with a +Drive. When you buy a +Drive, you will receive detailed instructions how to send in the unit for the upgrade. Shipping back to you after the upgrade has been carried out is included in the price.
Elektron Octatrack at the Messe
http://www.production-room.com/korg/korg-monotron/
Elektron presents their Octatrack which is a 8 track sampler/sequencer with realtime timestretch and warping, someone said already its Ableton in a box.
http://www.musicradar.com/news/tech/musikmesse-2010-elektron-octatrack-prototype-video-241309
Their website collapsed but interesting was a note about socalled +Drive which gives more machines in Monomachine or Machinedrum, sounds like a softwareupdate but not sure for now.
