Thanks to all who remembered …

Thanks for all the good wishes and such things …
Even though I am not in Berlin these days, there will of course be a party! Most likely I will make up for it in July, maybe August!
For those in and around Geneva, there might be one next weekend … details will follow.
Those who forgot, will have their chance to compensate by bringing large and expensive gifts ;)

1234567890

Just in case you missed it!
In the very second it is 1234567890.

And for all of you that don’t understand: it’s CET UNIX time!
1234567890 seconds since midnight of January 1st, 1970!

Woohoo … Party!

Nevermore

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
`’Tis some visitor,’ I muttered, `tapping at my chamber door –
Only this, and nothing more.’

more …

You may ask yourself why? It’s Edgar Allan Poe’s 200th birthday today!

Julefrokost and Heike in town

Another year … another Julefrokost (or Christmas Lunch, if you prefer).
This time the first one (at least for me) outside of Copenhagen, but since most of the young guys, from my time at NBI, are at CERN these days not much of a change …
the menue was (too) great and big as usual … fish, fish, fish and pork, pork, pork … and of course a lot of alcohol … after all its a Danish Christmas party ;)
A lot of fun that was even increased by the fact that Heike was around for the weekend (unfortunately only for the weekend :( )
