And remember, it's spelled S-a-s-c-h-a, but it's pronounced "Luigi."

Sascha Stoeter

Welcome to my homepage.

You may remember me under such names as Luigi and Sascha Stöter. While looking all cheery, turns out an umlaut can become a real retardant when venturing foreign lands.

Everybody Needs an Editor

Sarah has started her own English-language editing company Refined Word. It's based in Switzerland (so your secrets are safe), but operates world-wide.

Gmail SMS Notifier

Living in Switzerland prevents me from forwarding new Gmail messages to my mobile phone as an SMS. Local cell phone providers don't assign email addresses to the number. A small Python script gluing libgmail with the Skype API on a Mac using PyObjC makes it possible. It needs a lot of work (hey, it's my first Python script and it's late), but the basic functionality is available. Thanks to Jaanus and his code that got me started. Download the script and run it as python GmailSmsNotifier.py -h to obtain usage information.
