Everything has an end… only sausage has two!

CERN, Geneva

Awesome german idiom, isn’t it?!
Anyway… if you like it or not, a bit truth is in it!
Today is my last day of my CERN summer school stay… and what a coincidence, today the MySQL server broke down! Which means not much work for me…
Writing about sausage… I have to add, that we had a real nice German BBQ at the Prevessin BBQ site yesterday evening. It was also probably the last official kitchen parade of this year’s summer school.
Writing about summer school… I have to add another thing. Yesterday we finally got the official summer school t-shirts… and I have to say, that I’m a BIT proud!

p.s.
but every end is the beginning of something new…deep isn’t it?!
see you all again!

War revealed

CERN

Here we go… for those of you interested in War 1.0!

sourcecode
deckfile for 52 card game
deckfile for 54 card game

This version is using ROOT to plot the stats.
You have to have a proper ROOT setup to compile/run it.

Here are some example results.
setup: war -G 100000 -P 3 -C 54cards.crd -O war.root -R 1 -S 5
ROOT file
NTricks plot
Ndraws plot
Nwinner plot

btw
if enyone can solve the problem why player two always wins more games than player one… he/she’ll get a drink

CERN user

CERN

Woohoo! From today on I’m a real CERN user and not just a short term user… since my original CERN contract ended last Friday, I had to get a new contract (which was horribly difficult btw)… So my group decided to get me the “full membership”. Now I’m a valid member until I finish my degree in Copenhagen, which will hopefully work out… it looks not to bad!

CERN

<Yeah right… my supervisor just told me that he’ll get money so that I can stay for some more days in my CERN office to finish up my/our project… which means some more days in heaven! Even though the rest is mainly writing things up and dealing with bad bad c++ and python code. Anyway it’s great… And I will even have the time to concentrate on my work since the summer school is slightly fading off…
(greetz to all who have gone already)
