Konaktiva

Yesterday and today I visited a fair at the university where companies introduced them-selves! I had a nice conversation with Diehl which was in the news the days before because some people thought that such company shouldn't be invited to a university ground because 1/3 of them is part of the defence industry... Anyway they are searching for physicist in there non-arms-industry parts! Most of the stuff inside a Bosch dish-washer might be from Diehl. And most of the wires insides a Pentium IV is also from Diehl... But after all the first day wasn't so good as you can see at the first pictures in the body!

1st day So the first day only ended with around 19 ball-pens ( maybe some more I already used ), a bunch of notepapers, a small car and two thinks I forgot: a yo-yp and some mint-goodies!

2nd day The second day started alone because all the others just thought to chill at our "fachschaft" ( physicist student chilling room ;) ). So while grabbing a pen from the "Bundesamt für Wehrtechnik und Beschaffung" one of the "entertainer" started talking to me :) But the conversation wasn't boring at all because I never thought of the advantages of being an "member of the state" ( beamter ) because you can't get fired and stuff... BUT when I talked the others that there are beanbags the overrun me to get there! After the first run I went to our cafeteria where I got some bags filled with other interesting stuff g And I talked to two more companies! The first one produced piezo-motors and the second one was IBM ( they made this computer .) ) and it was quite interesting again. You wouldn't believe how less of your knowledge after 5 years of physics you'd need... At least IBM and Infenion would take advantage of your skills! However, my total prey of the day is shown on the right :) As you can see I tried to lay the pens and stuff of the Konaktiva that way that you can see the companies! Only two pens are different. That are the pen's of a stand which told me I'd have enough pens... ( Stupid *holes :) ) So I'm full of pleasant anticipation for tomorrow ( in 10 hours g )

Ana Johnsson - The Way I am

Favorite song: "6 Feet Under"

Ana started her career in a swedish girl-group 2002 but found soon out that she wanted to do rock-music! So this is her new ( and first? ) album!

Why I hate patents...

An American law firm McKoolSmith just bought several patents on computer stuff which would include the principals of RAM, online games and 3D-Games at all! At the moment they are suing 19 computer companies like Acer, Dell, IBM etc.! Just imagine what happens, if they win! "It's the end of the world as we know it" are singing people all around the world reported the channel R E M. ;)

Vergewaltigung der deutschen Sprache

Was gibt es momentan nicht alles für Seiten, die über den Zerfall der deutschen Sprache zum Ausdruck bringen? Zuletzt bin ich auf deppenleerzeichen gestoßen. Dort geht es um die zunehmenden Trennung von Substantiven ohne Bindestrich. Eingeführt wurden diese der Seite nach, von Marketing Experten, welche einen Spruch aus Amerika falsch übersetzten. Anstelle das Produkt von anderen Produkten abzusetzen, setzten sie einfach den Produktnamen vom restlichen Teil des Wortkonstruktes ab. So entstehen interessante Sachen wie: Opel Partner ( Opel Astra und Opel Vectra kenne ich, aber den Partner muss mir noch jemand zeigen... ), Voll Milch, Western Klassiker oder es werden Mädchen für 3,99 zum Verkauf angeboten, während Jungs ausdrücklich vor dem Schild ausrutschen sollen!

Mit freundlichen Grüßen

mailinglist...

Yesterday my friends and I changed our main communication from IM and SMS to an email-mailing list!! So we're not following the mainstream which had a mailinglist first and then changed to something like Instant Messaging ;)

I'm wondering everyday more what people did when there was nothing like the internet or SMS... You might answer the phoned each other but since it's far more work I guess they didn't phone everybody everytime which might have destroyed some relations...

But on the otherside our society produces way too much stress these days! People don't wait a day for your answer because you HAVE TO answer immediately! Plus you have to be reachable everytime everywhere which is really annoying when you got a job... Let's see where the path of civilisation will take us!

btw. today I got a strange hair cut and way too much wax in my hair...
