Lyon, Pickpockets and Room Update

Geneva

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

Family & Friends, Geneva, Switzerland

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 …

What a weekend!!!

Berlin, CERN, Movies

This weekend I was back in the city of Berlin … and the weekend was BIG and exhausting!
I started out as black hole on Friday’s Halloween Party, continued as a guide talking about the LHC and stuff for about 5h at the Weltmaschine exhibition on Saturday (after just 4h30min of sleep), watched the new Coen Brothers movie “Burn After Reading” (which was amusing as usual) and had some very nice ‘price on request’ filet steak at Escados Berlin (hmmm tasty).
On Sunday I restarted with another 5h of talking about the LHC at the exhibition and had another nice dinner …

The end of an odyssey

Family & Friends, Geneva

Its done! After an almost three weeks long odyssey of trying four different drill machines with all sorts of different drill heads I finally managed to get all the wanted holes into my walls this morning!

Apparently my walls are made of super solid rock and only the forth of the drill machines could handle this situation. Thanks to everyone that took part in this odyssey by offering a drill machine.
And special thanks to Julie for offering the one that actually worked ;)

As a result of this I can finally have a house warming :)
