2008 is coming to its end. I finished my diploma sucessfully and I´m very happy with it. After 6 months of hard work I will take a break for about 2 weeks. Before I do that I wanted to thank some people who helped me to realize PICOL and the documentary animation “The history of the Internet”. For the programming of picol.org I want to thank Christoph Leva and Taro Franke who now finished their great website petsicon.de. And of course Kay Märthesheimer and Andreas Münch. For the animation I want to thank Steve Taylor (Speaker), Matthias Grübel (Music) and Karla Vesenmayer (Translation). And thanks a lot to my professor Philipp Pape who mentored my diploma. Thanks a lot to all of you!
I wish you all a merry christmas and happy new year.
