Short visit to Carinthia and work related stuff

So I visited Carinthia on the last weekend. Drove home on Friday morning, visited Graz for a break (mostly filled with coffee) and arrived at high noon back in Carinthia. Armin and Kathi fetched me and, as they got lectures on that day, we went to Klagenfurt’s university. I cannot describe in how many ways this university is different to Vienna’s Technical University. Not better nor worse, just different.

The evening was enriched by an Jester’s Licence concert in their rehearsal room. They were good as always, but I made the mistake on drinking too much of that red wine I brought and so the evening ended rather blurry. I remember discussing (as well as my drunken state allowed) with another listener that he earned way too few money for his translating work. It’s a shame that people do not think how much money their work will earn a company and price their services according to that.

The next day was spent in meetings (mostly with Hannes and Hannes), I used the evening to get up to speed with my current programming task at university.

As already mentioned, I (as member of a group of three) had to program some stuff for the ‘advanced object oriented programming’-class. I should change my mode of operation: waiting five month, doing absolutely nothing and then doing the work on the last two days just isn’t fun anymore. Needless to say I didn’t sleept much, but the gain for that efforts where a top score on the delivery. I only regret that there was too few time to study the theoretic part of the assignment, thus we had to delay the theoretical exam for a week.

In other news: I used much of my last month’s free time migrating our old web server to the new hardware. Hopefully this will be over soon (there’s still a mailman and two joomla/mambo installations left over..). I got a feeling of vapidity. It’s not that I’ve got no work to do (see the university assignments and server administrative work) but little time is left for work that I really enjoy. I still hope that this will change this week.

Oh, and this web site has now over thousend unique monthly visitors, I wonder why.

Here’s the selfless confession
Leading me back to war
Can we help that our destinations
Are the ones we’ve been before

Pearl Jam – All or None
