Thanx to all who remembered my birthday and shame on those who didn’t but should… btw this is a picture of the birthday cake I got from Heike… made in my new shared kitchen, which is getting more social day by day… even the gangster on my floor were painting eggs yesterday, thanks to the initiative of Heike and me…
yeah… old people rule ;-)
Kollegiegården
Last weekend I finally moved into my new room at Kollegiegården, the dormitory I mentioned before. Nice room with shared kitchen and bathroom… and the dormitory has a pool room, a bar, a gym and a laundry which you can check/book via the local net… cool isn’t it!
Anyway here’s a first glance… more cam be found in the pix section.
btw it’s
Tagensvej 52.1.121
DK-2200 Copenhagen
Ny Cykel
After another cold walk through Copenhagen last night I finally managed to get a bike (see picture) today. Since the price for parking in or around the city doubled since last time, it is even more necessary to have a bike in Copenhagen. After checking the good old Kvickly (where we got the bikes last time, and a cheap lock this time) I ended up buying the bike at Bilka onestop in Scandinavia’s largest shopping centre field’s, in the south of Copenhagen.…
btw since this is a weblog I will take some more pictures with my webcam in the future… which is concerning the quality a bit like lomography.
About time- and washing machines
Another great day is about to end… and?
After browsing the depths of CERN storage for suitable data I had the possibility to listen to a talk about the GRID. I got to know that dealing with new databases with sizes of not even Petabytes should not create any problems, computing power will never be a problem of non scentist… and that the GRID will never really help normal people :-( like the WWW did…
The I was listening to a (serious) lecture about timetravelling… yeah right timemachines and stuff. I even learned how to build one… jealous? You just need a wormhole (which is OF COURSE not a black hole) and an appropriate neutron star or if you prefer a black, at least sth very heavy. Bring it in the right position (look at picture, it’s selfexplaining) and of you go…
After all that leading edge science I felt a bit overqualified for my next mission…
The Vasketeria… not a place to eat, it’s a laundrette!
The place to meet people… bullshit!
The only one I met was a fat sweat dripping man, sneezing all the time… and it only cost 5 eur to get almost dry washed clother (please regocnize the irony)…
Starting to feel home…
Great… just before I left Berlin some of our neightbours seemed trying to rebuild the house a bit… they were laying parquet or sth in the middle of the night. It’s just fantastic…
And guess what happened this morning… damn!
Which was especially bad since I came home at about six in the morning and they started at about nine… I’m lovin’ it!
To explain the late return… I was on my first “master-thesis-done-party”.
Which seams to be sth very big over here…
We had great fifty-people-three-course-menu-and-a-lot-of-alcohol-
brought-from-cheap-Germany-drink-as-much-as-you-can-party… I enjoyed it a lot (still not having any alcohol, for those who might ask)… Even though I was feared of the fact, that they might expect me to do a similar one???
