Guranga!

I did not realize that gamers were being tageted thanks to the latest killing spree in the US ... I do rather much enjoy the turn slashdot reader took blaming JC,, i suppose if you aren't blaming Marilyn Manson you have to find somebody else.

The net connection at cern rocks

Well, I just downloaded the ubuntu cd image in 1.5 minutes, that is an average rate of 6Mbps. That was pretty cool.

Tripping to Europe

Well I get to spend most of the summer this year working at CERN in Geneva. I arrived last week Wednesday after a relaxing 20hrs on various planes and in various airports. In the meantime I have not only found an office and a computer to write this message from, I have also moved into a small appartment in the village of St Genis-Pouilly, France. I have started stalking up on wine, cheese and beer, and have even managed to successfully feed myslef breakfast this morning. It lacked pancakes, I will have to get some pancake mix on the way home today.

Aside from working I am also planning to go visit my sister in Hamburg (Last week of May) and my friends Aleks and Caroline in London (First few days of June). I am going to try out some three way combination between ryanair and easyjet and hope that I will make it to Hamburg, London and back in one piece :)

Now I think it is about time for a coffee break.

Best Scifi of all time?

Well the BBC just conducted a poll of 300 people to find the top 10 SciFi films of all time. It seems that Serenity came out on top, even above Star Wars, just to show that Fox is run by morons. I hope that they will get back to producing Firefly, but for now we'll just have to read comics ...

And is it just me, or what happened to KAAAAHHN!!!!?

Best Lab Ever!

Wondering about the hallway in our basement I found a lab that way too exciting to belong in the basement of a physics department:

Futurama

Futurama truely is a great show. I've been whatching it a lot recently, here is one possible reason why one could argue that Futurama is in fact directed at science geeks:



Ohh No! Does this mean that dark matter tastes like hot koolaid?

Procrastination

And I thought I had too much time on my hands.
