Lied

- Zur Melodie von "Six feet under" von Jeff & Maya Bohnhoff -

Ich saß in unserer Bahn nach Mannheim,
Fünf BWL-er leckten lautstark BILD-Schleim,
Ein Mädchen wurd' vor Wut schon rot,
sie jagt' sie fort und aß ihr Kornbrot,

und sagte

Wasser steigt und Boote treiben,
Mäuler mampfen, läuft der Reigen,
Seht ihr nicht den Preis der Fluten,
Deren Wasser fließt aus unsren Wunden.

Ich traf einen Mann im Frack,
Ex-Manager, heut' bei Attac,
Ich fragte, "hast du eine Lösung für mich?"
Er seufzte leise, "so lang schon such' ich."

und fluchte

- a Filk on "X as in Fox" by Cecilia Eng -

Once we believed in the speed of the light,
and experiments show that what we thought is right,
But we search our math for another sight,

'Cause we hope that the truth is in there.

When we measure the speed of something somehow,
we can only check against the distance, but now
we'll show that we get it from Maxwell', and wow!

We will know that the truth is in there!

First we take a sheet of charge at hand,

To the melody of Dawson's Christian from Duane Elms.

Jason Drowsy was a hunter known to cook a burning stew,
and he turned to be a pagan in the hunt of eigthy two.
Now that pagan was the finest cook of the royal twins
and the stew of Jason Drowsy smelled like sins.

In the hunt for the kings wedding, waiting for the royal son,
he then saw a regal steed who was equal to no one,
as the royal son came by him, and he rode out for a prize,
Drowsy knew just far to well whom he must slice.

No one talking saw the battle, though the guard was quick to leave,

Disclaimer: Ich bin nicht christlich und trinke kein Bier (mit Ausnahme von Karamalz :) )

Ich hatte nie was zu verbergen, schrieb alles offen auf,
und floss nur so durchs Leben, die Leiter schnell hinauf.
Ich dacht', nichts könnt mich stoppen, denn ich war ein guter Christ,
dann fragte mich das BKA, wer denn mein Brieffreund ist.

Nichts zu verbergen  
hab' ich gedacht,   
dann war'n sie bei mir,   
was ham die gelacht.   

Ich war total verstört, was woll'n die denn bei mir?
dann sah mich einer freundlich an, "wir woll'n ja nichts von dir."

Dieses Lied habe ich für Björn und Nue geschrieben, denn so ist ein Teil meines Lebens.

Ich hoffe, ihr habt Freude am Lesen, Spielen und Hören.

No music yet - but someday I'll get that recording...

This recording is part of the music podcast singing in the winds of time.

Refrain:
  I build my kernel and I strip it down,
  my programs only do what I need
  the tree is at my very core
  it's my whole world and it is my seed.

Today is the 25th birthday of the GNU project - the very beginning of the free software community we are today.

This is my small, humble contribution for the birthday celebration.

Happy Birthday to GNU (ogg vorbis)

Happy Birthday to GNU,
Happy Birthday to GNU,
Happy Birthday not Unix,
Happy Birthday to GNU.

Naturally this recording is free licensed.

I recently found the OpenBSD songs, and the artists say that they are part of OpenBSD, logically as well as license-wise. And OpenBSD is licensed under a three-clause BSD license which is GPL compatible - that means I can record and publish it here!

This is the OpenBSD 3.6 release song: Pond-erosa Puff, written about people who make something free and suddenly decide to go the unfree path.

Many thanks to all you OpenBSD guys!
Your license is a bit too weak for my taste, but damn, it's free - and your code is as good as your songs!

-Melodie partly from "Swing low, sweet chariot"-

He looked over squares, and what did he see?
coming just for driving him mad,
The rational numbers didn't fit for me,
coming just for driving him mad.

He looked over pentagrams, and what did he see?
coming just for driving him mad,
There was funny looking a cousin of me,
coming just for driving him mad.

He told his pupils, all the world is a number,
coming just for driving him mad,
And one of them said: "this one makes me wonder"
coming just for driving him mad,
