Talks, Cooling Problems, Köttbullar and Cooling Problems

This is obviously not my week (and also not ATLAS’ week) … ohh man!
I spend my weekend almost exclusively on preparing a talk for Monday … and finally still didn’t manage to put in much new stuff. Monday afternoon and Tuesday morning went into preparing a talk for Tuesday (which went much better). And then the whole sadness started … on Tuesday my DCS validation shift was canceled due to some cooling problem and today my DAQ observer shift was canceled due to another cooling problem … ohh man!
Ahh and Köttbullar … right, that was, besides watching Wall-E, one of the few highlights … having nice dinner at Jenny’s … hmm.

Wall-E

This one has been on my list for a while and I was a bit sad having missed it in cinema … but it when browsing through my local Geneva video rental thingy I found please to find out that its already out on DVD. So off I went … and it was definitely a good choice!
Another very nice movie from Pixar … these guys just know how to get it right.
Certainly worth watching … as usual!

A Clockwork Orange

This time I decided to go for a classic one … A Clockwork Orange!
Nice book by Anthony Burgess about some veck (guy that means) in his youth taking part in some weird rehabilitation program … but I don’t wanna write too much about the actual story … cause its definitely worth reading.
Just to mention that its sometimes a bit hard to read cause of all the slang words used throughout the text.

Lyon, Pickpockets and Room Update

Well … not much happaning besides work these days, as you might have guessed from the little number of posts during the last days … on the other hand I didn’t do much work on the weekendm which was supposed to be reserved for work … oh man … anyway …

On Friday I drove Heidi, Esben and Troels to Lyon, so that they could catch there cheap flight, and visited the town for the rest of the day … its quite a nice city (as I already noticed in 2005) … and again I didn’t spent enough time there …

Yesterday I spent quite some time at a police station since one of my friends got his wallet stolen while we were out for dinner … and after that we ended up in some strange pub … but obviously not strange enough to drive us out …

Today I was again working on my ‘new’ webpage instead of doing work … so the pressure (got two talks, a validation shift and the CERN Guide introduction this week) is increase … but again obviously not enough …

Anyway … for those interested I put up a new picture of my room in Geneva …<

House Warming Geneva

Just finished the cleanup of my Geneva House Warming … its been a very evening with some (as approved by others) very nice chilli and a couple of other nice stuff brought in by my guests.
Writing about the guests … they also put some colour on my walls, finally.
The guestbook wallpaper was filled with its first entries …
If you want to be part just come on over … all yours!

Thanks to all of you who brought some food or even an inauguration present …
and special thanks to pot lenders …
