Course Failure: Statistics

Yesterday, the final grades for Statistics 1 were revealed. To my surprise, about 14 students out of 63 had failed with a 5.0 and 7 more students nearly passed the course with a 4.0. For myself, I can be quite happy about my result, however it was quite shocking for me to see the lack […]

RSS Feed Updates

I had enough of the limitation of 65 words due to the partial syndication of my blog. The URLs to the feeds will remain the same, so please do not worry! But from now on, both the RSS and Atom feeds will contain the full and uncut content. However, certain feed aggregators might not display […]

Course Failure

Those people who’re named „student“ are usually considered to be competitive, flexible, motivated and highly-trained in their skills and soft-skills. I expect a certain level of knowledge if I compare myself with other students who are studying in the same subjects and thematics as I do in my study of International Management. But today I […]

Forgotten E-Mail about Chinese Names

About three weeks ago I’ve been quite interested to know some more information concerning Chinese Names given to foreign/non-chinese people. Since I knew Kevin was from China, I asked him per E-Mail on how these names were assigned and if this would result in some kind of standard method to transform my own name, Mike […]

Print DVD Advertisements

I honestly detest the new variant of advertising a product in a well-established market. Once the marketshare of certain newspapers and weekly magazines decreases, the editors prefer to introduce new methods of attracting their clients: Buy a magazine and earn a rich-media content CD or DVD. Usually, information technology magazines grant their readers the chance […]

Sessionhandling and Fast-Blogging

Of course I understand the importance of security measures, but normally a session expires after 30 minutes or 1 hour, or usually if you log off […]

Minor Error in account/overview.php

In general, many other phone numbers will exceed 30 characters… but I noticed upon entering my telephone number in account/overview.php of the admin interface that the number cannot exceed more than 10 characters. But unfortunately my number (without spaces!) includes already 11 characters, if I add the international area code for Germany „+49“, the field […]

Blog at Blogspirit via Email (Update)

Now it’s time to test this function – I haven’t ever done this: Writing a blogentry by sending an email to the server. The requirements are simple since I need to add an authorized email address which may send posts to the secret (!!!) email address created by Blogspirit. I hope it’s going to work, […]

How a morning can start so wrong…

… and turn out to be quite nice! University started on monday, and I haven’t felt it was eligible to push some thrilling articles about the daily student life into this blog. But today (Day 2) seems to turn out quite interesting. After having a long night with multiple fractional times of being awake, Kat […]

Fear in Flensburg

I received an interesting letter via snail mail last friday which officially denied me to participate in the Information Technology 2 course due to the fact that I’m according to their records in the second semester. But this has been a mistake by the Syddansk Universitet which is in cooperation with the University of Flensburg. […]
