Still alive…

What else? Hmm, as I already mentioned, I’m trying to work my way through the programming I’ve got to do before being able to write my thesis on that software. Even though it’s frustrating from time to time because Ruby on Rails is always-evolving and many features needed for your application which you spent hours or even days on implementing tend to pop up as a new feature in the next Rails release, it’s also fun and interesting to play with that new feel programming. Completely different approaches, more focus on the actual application and not on the tools and frameworks you need for it etc. *sigh* Wish I would’ve started with that a lot earlier 😉

Nomiya

Wow, it’s been quite some time since my last post – sorry about that againz… Well, what did I do? Hmm not too much, actually, but I’ve been hella busy as usual 😉 First of all, Andi and me use the free time we’ve got to the max for exercising, running, spinning etc. but my stupid belly still looks like as if I was drawn by the “Gelini” guy. Secondly, there has been a lot of programming going here because I need to get some things straight for my thesis, eventually. And the deeper I dig into Ruby on Rails, the more I love it. Seriously, this might become the no. 1 language for designing websites in the next few years!

Today, I finally managed to test out the Nomiya, a kind of typical bavarian pub which features Japanese cooking done by actual Japanese chefs 🙂 It was soooo cool sitting there, having some very, very delicious Yakitori, Edamame, Sushi, etc. in that Bavarian-looking Boaz’n (which basically means pub)! I highly recommend that one! 😀 Ah by the way, Japanese restaurant-tips in Munich are always very welcome 🙂

Flu, grades, cold, back on the track (rails) etc.

Well, well… So much has been going on and I don’t really know where to start. Hmm… Might be because I’ve not been writing so much lately 😉

First of all, I got my grades. Okay, I was complaining and whyning a lot and to be honest, I was seriously not expecting too much. I don’t know how but I passed all exams and the grades are quite okay, actually! Yaay! 😀 So now, I can fully conentrate on the upcoming last semester with its four exams and, of course, my thesis. Wish me luck with all that!

But just as the last test was done and my stress-level fell I caught a mean flu which took me down for roughly a week already. I’ve still not fully recovered yet but it looks like it’s going to be over in one or two days. This is like so typical by the way: Just when the time’s here for me to relax, enjoy parties with friends, go to the gym on a more regular basis again etc. I get sick! D’oh!

Alright, what’s next? I’ve been using the time I had to stay at home and in bed to increase my Ruby on Rails knowledge. So it might have had a positive side, too. 😉 This is the language / the framework I’ll build my thesis on and I should finally start again to work on that for I’ve not been doing anything there since January…

Oh and my dear sister will be coming home from Barcelona for a couple of days this week! She’ll have her viva voce – wow! Then we’re going to have another Dr. in the family 🙂
