Helgar's page is down

Due to a hacker attack Helgar's page is currently down. Therefore the RSS feed has been temporarily disabled. She is investigating the case and working on getting the page back up and running.

Bug hunting

On Fiday and Saturday my father and I gathered the apples from our two trees. I cannot remember that we had so many apples on these trees since I helped to get the apples off the trees - which are each about 60 years old! We decided to bring them to a local company that presses out the juice from these apples - so we will have a lot of apple juice next week :-)

Of course those apples are pretty popular for beetles, spiders and bugs! One of those hunting spiders (the ones that do not hunt by building a web) jumped towards me when disturbed in her sleep in one of the apples. So it ended up in a lot of bug hunting. No, climbing onto apple trees will not fix your software!

One of those tuesdays

We meet every tuesday. We have a lot of nerd talk then, cook something and in general have fun. Yesterday "we" was defined as Tob, Buck, Helgar and Phil. And we had a lot of fun :-) We finally managed to order some Mozilla clothing. More geek shirts to come :-) and fixed up Phil's RSS feed. After fixing a couple of Linux problems on Helgar's and Buck's machines we had hamburger. Yeah!
We met at Buck's room. He lives in a student residence. Usually they have fast internet (like fast internet). But he exceeded the traffic limit for this week and so it was horrible slow... But since he is one of the admins he could fix that and then re-routed the traffic through the university VPN :-)

Tob demonstrated his new DV cam. Quite impressing what you can do with it. Hooks up to Linux just fine via firewire and then gives you a flowing video stream. Not like those crappy USB webcams. Great. But I feare some of our ... ehm ... discussions (aka geeky nerd talk) will be documented or will even make it to the public now. Tob also told us about the Evoke 2004 where he went (see earlier posting and his Evoke 2004 report). Pretty impressing was Amondo and of course some demos. Nice to view.

Helgar left pretty early so she didn't watch "Live after Microsoft" with us or hear Buck's and my discussion about general German politics. Oh wow, it was late then already... But finally we found some kind of least common denominator.

Medha was not there, he is right now in Indonesia (to be more specific he is in Jakarta) visiting relatives and getting sucked out by mosquitos...

So after all a more or less "usual nerd tuesdays evening" :-)

Done

I finally passed the exam about differential equations and numerics. Yes! Took ages and it took a lot of work for the last try but was rewarded with a good grade and so worth it. A special thanks to Arnd for even calling me on the phone short after the results were released.

Comment starter

OK, to actually have to comment on something here is a blog post.

To have some reason for this let me tell you that I got a cool shirt stating "this is not a geek shirt" in German language from the gang. I think I didn't mention this before. It's cool, and it's paradox, it's perfect :-)
