well, then welcome saft and pithhelmet on your system :-)

tomorrow i give two double lessons: in the first i’ll make an introduction to electrostatics, with use of the van der graaf-generator , it’s one of the “reallyreally-fun-experiments” in physics…. in the second i have an exam with the class (and i’m more nervous than they are, because it’s my first exam as a teacher, i spent 10 hours (no joke) editing it!) i’ll post some more tomorrow (or actually today, because it’s sleepytime already!)

if you’re interested how it feels to get a massive tattoo on the back, then Keith’s Koi-blog is for you to read. Funnily enough i found this on boingboing and some days ago i talked to him on IAM :-)
and related to other news , nina is now officially in zurich. we spent a really nice day together, went for a long walk and had one of the feared nemesis -cakes in the restaurant ma marzilibrucke , where she also works. but this perfect day with her does lead to me having a sunday evening blues, which is not too bad, because i still need to finish the lessons i hold tomorrow morning, so this keep my mind off blue thoughts.

ps; and now i go to the cafe kairo
update: ah, well then! (this should be a link to habi.bild.li , but the upload did not work, i wrote chris about it…) explanation: it had much too much people there and i could just listen to michu slamming, then had a drink with renzo and came home.

do you remember that I’m on the search for a good panorama stitching software
for the mac?
well, it seems like i’ve found the tools for the trade.
the well known panotools
from helmut dersch are some excellent freeware-plugins for adobe photoshop. as i do not own a legal copy of this monster-piece of software i was on the lookout for more.
PTMac
by Kekus
is a front-end to those scripts, which helped me to make this image in something like 3 minutes (after emailing the author(s) of the software because i couldn’t get a panorama out (–> do not optimize on a partial panorama…):
nonetheless the software has a price-tag of 50$ so i’ll still need the 13 days left on my trial period to decide if it’s worth it. but it seem like, because you can generate panoramas of all flavors (spherical, cylindrical, etc.) and export it to all kinds of files (quicktimeVR, .jpg, some bizarre java-viewer formats and so on..)

from next week on:
and i already feel lonely.
explanation: nina has to finish her studies (pharmaceutics) in either zurich, basel or geneva and she chose zurich for obvius reasons (the ETH in zurich is very renowned).
i stay here in bern for the moment. so we stop living 20 minutes apart, which makes me kinda sad.
