exam
if you wanna see what exam i prepared for the class today, then click on the image below, and you can download a 132kb-pdf. the first image is the result of this, but had to bee redrawn multiple times, because it was just too difficult the way i wanted it first…
minimal porn
check out this page if you want to see some awesome (and only + 18 :-) minimal flash art! [via bit.ch and flagr.antville.org] and yes, i know porn is a no-go, but nonetheless i thought’s it’s funny!
tomorrows plans
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!)
more tattoos and stuff like that
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.
???
if you guess right on what i’m working at the moment, then i pay you a beer next time i see you: 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.
apple really rocks!
hello windows! (itunes for windows too) say hello! (record stuff with you ipod) cheese! (transfer a lololot of pictures to your ipod)
panorama
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..)
20 vs. 90 minutes
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.
blogspam
well, amir shure loves my blog: he posted 5 comments on all my last entries and wants to sell me some viagrainfo; well gfy amir! (listen to fword.wav on that site, it’s really funny!)
good and bad news
the good news: my bike is back! after that it has spent a day somewhere, Mr. Wuthrich called at work this morning and told michel, that he found my bike in front of his shop. so it seems, that somebody managed to open the lock on my bike, drive from my place to mr. wuthrichs coke machine and left it there. what a twerp, stealing a bike for less than 5 minutes. but hey, i cannot complain, it’s back and in mint condition, nothing happened to my baby :-)
