The year is just a week old and I already learned a few things. A very important part of the car is the ignition/induction/spark coil, which seems to be a major problem in the cold season, since they sometimes get wet through fissures and restrain the car from starting. First-hand experience, ‘nuff said. Be all [...]

Die liebe Werbung… “Dazugehören – mit Rotkäppchen Alkoholfrei” Aaaah so, wenn man keinen Alkohol trinkt gehört man also nicht dazu. Und daher muss man nun sich und seine Umgebung anlügen, um akzeptiert zu werden. Oder hab ich da was falsch verstanden? Super Werbung, muss ich schon sagen. Dank Sektimitatplörre mitten drin statt nur dabei… im [...]

Wo wir es doch grade von Alice hatten. Es gibt da ja noch diesen kleinen Provider mit dem hübschen Luder (mit dem es angeblich so viele “machen”), mit dem außer Brad Pitt fast jeder Probleme hat (dem Provider, nicht dem Luder). Selbst scheint es dort auch an der Sprache zu hapern. Laut Fernsehwerbung kann man [...]

While playing around with my subversion repository it occured to me. If “female” is a branch (codename: Eva) of the “male” trunk (codename: Adam)… but was never merged back… “male” must be the latest stable version of the project human. This unstable version status of the female branch sure explains a lot. Oh sure, it [...]

Today they served mammoth skewer (Mammutspieß) at the cafeteria. They came from jurassic meat and the hunting spear was still in it. To make it clear, the skewer was almost double the size of the plate, nearly as big as the tray, and full of meat. Truely a man’s dish. But makes you think. Two [...]

Yes, it’s true. They were trying really hard. I barely survived… They tried to starve me to death… tricky bastards. I’ve been to the Christmas Market in Strasbourg. I was hungry. I wanted something to eat. And what did they offer? Crêpes, crêpes, crêpes, more crêpes and of course crêpes. Don’t get me wrong, crêpes [...]

While listening to the Sunscreen Song (Baz Luhrmann – Everybody’s Free (To Wear Sunscreen)) it came to me… The bible must be right in at least one point. If every generation fantasizes about how everything used to be better and how good it was back in the days and if we follow this path back [...]

Someone uttered a question regarding my current header image. This is a photo from the gentlemen’s lavatory at my university. Then again, gentlemen’s lavatory might imply that this is something different or better than your average men’s room, which it isn’t. Last year, the restrooms underwent renovation. A few days, after the rooms have been [...]

Right now our super high tech coffee machine is being decalcified. Perfect moment to monitor the withdrawal behaviour of some caffeine-addicted co-workers. We are just a few people on the floor at the moment, but every few minutes I can here someone walk to the door of the room, where the machine resides, open up, [...]
