			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have a mobile phone and a landline. Unfortunately, it costs more money to use my landline to call mobile phone numbers than using my mobile phone. However, for calls that might last a while I prefer using my landline. Thus I had to search for some cheap offers and I found some:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.austriaphone.at/">http://www.austriaphone.at/</a> offers a rate of 10 cent/min to Austrian mobile phones and it might also challenge my current favourite for calls to Germany, namely <a href="http://www.telediscount.at/">http://www.telediscount.at/</a>. Both companies are also present in the UK: <a href="http://www.abroadtel.co.uk/">http://www.abroadtel.co.uk/</a> and <a href="http://www.telediscount.co.uk/">http://www.telediscount.co.uk/</a>.</p>
<p>Surprisingly I found at <a href="http://www.billiger-telefonieren.at/">http://www.billiger-telefonieren.at/</a> that I can call the <a href="http://www.telering.at">tele.ring</a> network for only 7 cent/min using tele.ring as a call-by-call provider. billiger-telefonieren.at (also <a href="http://www.billiger-telefonieren.de/">.de</a>) and <a href="http://www.tarifecheck.at/">http://www.tarifecheck.at/</a> offer a good way to compare call rates for a given time and destination. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yesterday we went to Linz on a departmental away day. There we visited the <a href="http://www.aec.at/en/index.asp">Ars Electronica</a> center &#8211; a &#8220;museum of the future&#8221;. </p>
<p>This exhibition is a great playground. You are allowed to touch (almost) everything, to try everything out, to participate and to &#8220;change&#8221; the exhibition in that way. It was great. I was also very interested in all the different User Interfaces presented. I&#8217;m not sure but I do not remember to have seen a single keyboard in the exhibition although the visitor constantly interacts with computers. However, the aim is that the visitor forgets about computers. I am sure there are plenty of industrial applications hidden in this museum but I mostly thought about the children&#8217;s room of the future <img src='http://www.miarka.com/wordpress/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  .</p>
<p>During the exhibition I had to think about a few people: <a href="http://www.cs-ed.org/blogs/mjadud/">Matt Jadud</a> and the <a href="http://www.cs-ed.org/blogs/cscs/">CSCS</a> (cool stuff in Computer Science) group at Kent, <a href="http://www.cs.kent.ac.uk/people/staff/jcr/">Jonathan Roberts</a> (who is interested in Visualisation) and <a href="http://www.jibble.org/">Paul Mutton</a> aka Jibble, whos <a href="http://www.jibble.org/shakespeare/">Shakespeare social networks</a> project was exhibited, too. I think all of them would be very interested in this exhibition. I strongly recommend it to you.</p>
