Just returned from a week in Bucharest at the ‘ATLAS Exotics and SUSY Joint Workshop’, which took place at the Ministry of Culture and had its conference dinner at the slightly oversized Palace of Parliament, depicted above. The latter holds some interesting records, e.g. as the world’s largest civilian building with an administrative function, the world’s most expensive administrative building and the world’s heaviest building!?
Anyways … the workshop was nice, the dinner was nice, my talk was nice ;) and Buchrest certainly interesting … which reminds me of an equally interesting article on Bucharest I read this week.

RaspuinoDart v0.1
I recently finished the first steps of my little Arduino-Raspberry-Dart project called RaspuinoDart. Once I added the data-base backend it will appear on Github and more features will appear slowly after (hopefully).
Once again …
… we failed in getting a LEGO model of LHC experiments through the LEGO Ideas review.
After failing with my mini ATLAS model in 2014, yesterday LEGO finally rejected Nathan Readioff’s LHC micro models as well. Looks like we have to come up with yet another idea/design to finally reach our goal ;)
Sous-vide surprise
As mentioned before, I recently received and successfully used my new Anova Precision Cooker. Now, I in fact own two of them. As I had some trouble with the initial order/delivery, the Anova support team – after kindly and quickly solving the issue – generously suggested that I should keep the initial unit as a gift (thanks a lot again).
So I’m looking forward to yet more sous-vide fun in future :)
Sous-vide Christmas
Last weekend I finally had the time to fully test one of my Christmas presents …
a sous-vide precision cooker by Anova.
After an initial test of creating perfect poached eggs last week, I made a fantastic short loin roast yesterday. Looking forward to so much more :)
p.s. sorry for the lousy picture (taken with my phone) and the food pron in general
