Working in Rome

Yesterday I came back from a short visit to Rome, joining the ATLAS LLP workshop to get the 2011 analyses and myself started.

Besides the very nice workshop, we had a good time doing some New York Times recommended dining at Felice a Testaccio and Da Franco Ar Vicoletto and some sight seeing in Rome at above 25 degrees …

Just for the fact book: the meeting took place at Sapienza, being the largest university in Europe with about 147.000 students.

First visitors

After several weeks of setting things up and moving things around we finally had our first guests in our apartment in Copenhagen.

An old friend of Heike and me who was my neighbour in Kollegiegaarden (my dormitory  back in 2006) and yesterday Tina and Troels (my old supervisor and his girl friend) came by for dinner  and some foosball :)

Next thing is to inaugurate the Biergarten on the balcony along with a with BBQ :)

New weblog back-end

After several year and a few earlier attempts I will now try to migrate from my Blogger hosted Weblog to my own WordPress blog!

In case you registered the ATOM or RSS feed, you will have to change that :)

Phones and mobile phones

After quite a few good years with my broadband service provider (Hansenet), they finally started bitching around in the last few weeks holding back my mobile numbers as long as they could, ruining the good image. Meh … now they are history. If anybody needs a cheap prepaid mobile carrier in Germany I could recommend Simyo these days …

Besides that, and after the apartment is coming slowly together, I also managed to set up the phone connection there and both of us got mobile numbers by now.
Which reminds me … it’s really amazing, a normal SMS within Denmark costs about 1 Cent and a minute talking is about 8 Cents. Please let me know if you have a good explanation why SMS should be significantly more expensive in Germany!?

 

More moving …

As it is apparently not enough to move the apartment from Berlin to Copenhagen we also moved our offices this week. Though we only moved roomes on the save level in the same building. Now I am sharing the office with the two PhD students in our little Lundbeck Foundation group at NBI. The apartment, which is by the way coming along quite well, I am still sharing only with Heike :)
