Top 10 dot-com flops

This is a wonderful collection of the „supposed to be“ top ten dot-com flops. Who hasn’t heard yet of Webvan.com and its inspiring idealism which is found in many new ventures (usually done by 1st semester students), or didn’t we always want to order our Pets.com as fast as Kozmo.com was able to deliver the […]

Versprochen ist versprochen!

Irgendwie hasse ich diese Überschrift, aber ich habe es Katharina nun mal versprochen. Ich werde in den kommenden 7 Wochen bis zu ihrer Rückkehr etwas an Gewicht abnehmen. Zur Zeit bin ich auch gut dabei mit ca. 101.7 Kilo, und eigentlich plane ich pro Woche ein Kilo abzunehmen. Das ist schon gegen unserer kleinen Absprache […]

Arrival

I guess after checking United Airlines the flight arrived on SFO approximately half an hour ago. I’m curious how much time will pass until Kat will give me a call? ;) Airline: United Flight: 955 Date: Wed, Aug 10 Status: ARRIVED Aircraft type: Boeing 777-200 Miles earned: 5368 Departure ——————————————————————————– Airport: London Heathrow (LHR) Scheduled […]

Off and Away!

Katharina has left for California. I hope she’ll land safely at the airport! Now I wonder on how to occupy myself at the moment. Perhaps its time for some little snack – its already 2 p.m. and I’m hungry. Above this all, my mind is kind of numb after the long trip to the airport […]

One thing which disturbed me was the fact that I forgot to disable the variable for logging all events, and had to manually edit the config file to set this value to false […]

Kuschelzeit

Müde. Das sind wir irgendwie. Nach letzter Nacht mit der kleinen Abschiedsparty, wo Kat erstmal eingepennt ist und Mike die Gäste ein wenig vorzeitig verabschieden musste. Und nun sitzen wir schön im Bett angekuschelt mit uns selbst…. und unseren Laptops! Wenn jetzt noch jemand uns ein Frühstück serviert, wäre das kaum noch zu toppen! Es […]

Why I’m here and not in California

A few minutes earlier, anonymuis wondered in the comments why I’d stay here while Kat is going to start her internship in California. That’s quite the issue for me and a question I’ve been asked before. The reason why I will stay here back in Germany sounds quite stupid, but it is rather simple: I’m […]
