LHCb & Dvorak & Betting Game

Today I had a tour of the LHCb detector and the associated electronics and computing parts (thanks to Gareth). Not quite as big as ATLAS but still very impressive!
I’ll put some more pictures in the gallery

In the evening I followed the invitation of the CERN Concerts Club and listened to some Dvorak, Gershwin and Mersson music in the CERN main auditorium.

And last but not least … after some complains, the betting game on my webpage has finally got a new and more reasonable mode for evaluating rugby games ;-)

World Cup Gamble and Patriotism

Tough weekend… four results that almost nobody could foresee!

The german female gambler being in the lonely lead at the beginning of the weekend (my lovely girlfriend) got caught up and my good friend from down under was actually right with his public announced bet on the Brazil game (even though he completely failed in the other ones)…

But I like the “patriotic” “Go Pacific!!!” attitude…
