Yesterday I was watching “Sophie Scholl – Die letzten Tage” (English Text) in a cinema here in Essen. In my opinion, it was a very good story and I can recommend it to everybody with the slightest interest in the history of the German resistance during WWII. Unfortunately, there were only about 20 people in …

Freezing Winter
Back again. The weekend in Magdeburg was quite cold. Temperatures down to -10°C over the day and about -15°C at night made it possible to take some great pix of the almost frozen Elbe. Unfortunately, this is a rare opportunity, which occurs only every few years. But this time I was there and had my …
First days in Switzerland
Hello folks, just have some time to write my first experiences and impressions of Zurich. Working at my company is pretty cool, the atmosphere is (still) good and the people are friendly as well. Am still very enthusiastic and idealistic, but haven’t been on a project yet. Therefore I’m just taking some introductory courses since …
I am off to Switzerland…
Hello people out there, today is my big day. It’s 5am and I’m getting ready to catch my plane to Zurich. After 4 months of doing (almost) nothing and being rather bored, real life has me back and I’m going to start my job in a few days. This means I’m changing location and I’ll …
I was watching TV…
… and what came on was very strange Propaganda …ahm… I mean advertisement. The ESAG (For everybody who doesn’t know this very concerned – and concerning – organization: European Security Advocacy Group) tried to tell the German (And other Europeans – that’s the “E” in the acronym.) viewer how dangerous terrorism is. This frankly is …
New mobile phone…
I bought a new mobile – a nice Nokia 6230 – and therefore I got a new phone number. But since I don’t wanna be called by everybody on the Internet you have to write me an email if you wanna have my number. I’m looking forward to catch up with all of my friends …
Let’s try Debian…
Since yesterday I’m trying to install Debian. Have heard some nice things about it, but as usual it takes a while to RTFM. KDE 2.2 isn’t really the most recent piece of software and also a release date sometimes in 2003 is quite a while ago. Anyway. I think with a bit of reading and …
Back in Germany
From today on I am back in Germany. After a 34 hour flight from Sydney via Saigon and Paris to Berlin I’m pretty tired. Will fight my Jetlag now. Just read on if you wanna know the whole story… I flew with Vietnam Airlines and it was a quite disappointing experience. Though Vietnam Airlines was …
Long Journey
I will travel my last two weeks through Australia and therefore can’t find the time to add all the fabulous experience to the site. End of July I will head back to Germany. Hopefully, I will then find the time to upload some of the photos and some words about traveling to Canberra, Melbourne and …
Opera at the Bay
Yesterday, I was at the “Opera at the Bay” in Darling Habour. You can have a look at the Photos in the gallery. (Would be happy if you would rate the pictures you like or write a comment.) The weather wasn’t this great yesterday – it rained and it still rains – but during the …
