Spring is back again in Salzburg

Mild temperatures returned to Salzburg after nearly 6 months of snow. We used the sunshine to give my hammock from Costa Rica a try in the park of Hellbrunn Castle.

my current research toy

Even though Sony finished the develepment of Aibo I find it cool :)

I'm Volleyball Champion!

My team PSV Salzburg became champion in the volleyball league of the province of Salzburg, Austria. I have to admit I only played the last two games because of an injury last autumn and my trip to Costa Rica, but never mind. It's also not such a big deal because there are only four teams in this league (and two of them are PSV teams) but nevertheless it sounds good :)

Going to Canada

I'm going to Canada by the end of April. Together with Wolfgang and Christoph I will be travelling round Nova Scotia and then from Halifax to Montreal. We will attend CHI 2006 and have a research in progress aka poster presentation there. *yipieh!*

server & lomo problems

It's so annoying. I just finished my Costa Rica online web album but the webserver of our university where I'm hosting my website doesn't work *grmpf*. I also scanned some action shots taken by a lomo camera (see weblink). I borrowed the camera from Regina for this holiday, but it got broken at the end of the journey. I'm very sorry for that and promised her to replace it.

back from Costa Rica

It was ABSOLUTELY fantastic! Lena (our communication officer aka Lt. Uhura), Robert (technician aka Scottie), Lorenz (pilot aka Cpt. Kirk) & I (navigator) had an ABSOLUTELY fantastic time in Costa Rica (as well as few days in Nicaragua and Panama). I will put a few more picture and some anecdotes online in the photos section in the next few days. Saludos!

master's degree finished & holiday

Monday was the day of my final exam for my master in communication science. After long discussions about my admission, 2 terms of studying, 1 term writing my diploma thesis and a month preparation for this exam it's over. I feel relieved and look forward to my holiday in Costa Rica together with Lena, Robert & Lorenz. I'm just happy :)
