… a good Christmas season so far.
First of all: I love this cap: http://www.engrish.com/2010/12/extra-chuuse-pleuse/
Then: I also loved this windbag: 
And finally: I really love it when I – eventually – get in the mood for the holidays! Merry Christmas to all of you (wow, this sounds so cheesy…)!
Yay, it’s a long weekend due to a holiday on Monday and the sun is shining! And I finally found the time to sort out the appartment’s budget with my flatmate. And I saw “Bob Ross and the joy of painting”. This is a very, very good day!
roughly 7 p.m. Returning to my hotel after the first day at the WebTech. Trying to get some sleep, but it just won’t work. I’ll never be able to fall asleep before midnight, I guess…
11:30 p.m. Getting up again, taking a shower, preparing myself for the night.
00:30 a.m. Taxi ride from Mainz to Darmstadt, where the headquarters of the “Deutsche Telekom” are. The taxi driver is a little weird and stinky, but friendly in general.
01:00 – 06:00 a.m. Assisting with the launch of the software platform my company has been working on for the past few months.
06:00 – 06:30 a.m. Taxi ride back to Mainz – Friendly, but weird and stinky driver…
07:00 a.m. Taking a shower and trying to fall asleep as fast as possible.
08:00 a.m. Getting up again after not having slept at all.
08:27 a.m. Rushing down to grab something to eat before the bus back to the conference comes.
08:38 a.m. Leaving the breakfast lounge / Running to the bus station.
…
09.00 a.m. Already at the first talk of the day 🙂
I’m attending the WebTech 2010 in Mainz – it’s a hybrid conference together with the international PHP conference taking place in the nice Rheingoldhalle right next to the Rhein river. Oh my… So many geeks in one place! And almost no women here! (and those few that are here… well, you know…)
Anyways, I’m looking forward to another two and a half days of interesting talks and new insights to technology and the software industry in general.
PS: I did not forget about the pics of my appartment, it’s just that I couldn’t find the time by now… (and, to be honest, not so much progress has been made since my last post on that topic…)
’nuff said! It was legendary! Thanks Stephan and Vera for the GREAT GREAT GREAT time I had!!!!
Because I took so long since my last real post, here are some facts and some pics! First the facts:
And now, some random pics:
This is just a small life sign because I don’t have Internet access at my appartment, because I’m too lazy to set up an Internet connection through my cell phone and because I barely have the time to write at all… 😉
The big move took place on Monday and I’m already “living” at my new place. Well, kind of. I managed to put the pieces of my bed together a few minutes ago so I don’t need to sleep on the floor again – at last. So far, the new appartment could rather be described as alpha version of living: no furniture at all because all the stuff is just lying around on boxes and disassembled pieces (just like my bed used to until earlier this evening)…
But aside from working my ass of at work, I spend as much time as possible setting up everything so you can soon come to visit and envy Christian and me 😀
Pics will be here, too (eventually)!
This is friggin’ funny: http://www.asofterworld.com/oq-display.php?id=22
Moving is always a great thing to do: You get to look through all your belongings and scan through so many memories. And when you’re done with scanning, you throw away all the useless stuff and only keep the good parts 
However, moving can also be a pain in the ass when you don’t have enough time (and money) to prepare/do everything…
And the worst part is yet to come: We finally have a superb summer season here in Munich and I was so looking forward to enjoying the sun as much as possible but I got bitten by some stupid animal. No big deal so far but the swelling and the itching just didn’t go away but got worse and worse every day so I went to the doc’s. He said it might be an infection with Borrelia… So now, I have to take badass antibiotics for at least 21 days and I must avoid direct sunlight!!!! WAAAAAAH 🙁
