Lohn und Brot

Is it already 2 weeks ago, since I posted the last time? Man, time is flying... The thesis is growing slowly. Most of the time I spent with designing graphical user interfaces (GUI's). It did not really take so long, because I wanted to let it look perfect, but the GUI editor sometimes crushed the complete design. In between I wondered if my own GUI would stand the critics of my last thesis which was about user friendly GUI's. I guess, it would not pass, but since I am the only user, it does not even has to. It looks pretty cheap. But now it is working. The first test results are a disaster, but since I know why, I can already write things down in a new chapter.
Today I got my contract at Atos in Aken. I will start in beginning of February as software architect. It sounds pretty good: high chance for traveling around the world, cooperation with several departments in different countries, and insight into all kind of different projects. As far as I know, they are still looking for some people for the same job, because the team will be totally new. So, if you are interested in developing frameworks, give me a call ;-) You most likely can even choose between working in Brussels or Aken, if you like.
Because I will start in February, I have time to arrange things with Miun for my master thesis defense. All in all, things seem to go well without me doing a lot for it.

Old man

At the weekend I drove to Philipp in Dörenthe for celebrating his birthday. It took a while until I found his house, because as soon as the village starts it ends. Took a while to figure out that most of the houses around than actually in the village. However, after joyful and relaxed driving I reached my goal and met also Solène and Sebastian there. It was like time had never passed. We told so many stories and there are enough left for the next 5 days, when they are coming to Aken. It turned out that my moving out was not so urgent as the landlord told me. First it was a trick counting on kindness, because he told new renters a totally different story than me. However, with this story he scared the 3 guys off who wanted to rent the apartment, since they did not trust him anymore. I for myself think, he is ok, but I better do not believe in any surprising thing he tells me. All that counts is the contract. But I figured out that I have time to cancel my flat until October. Therefore I...

Back to the roots

After three weeks home things become more clear. I will work in Aachen for my master thesis. I gave it up to go to Brussels, since the company messed it up. First they talked about a possible real job with full payment. After more than one week waiting they offered me a giant project. I was happy. But they wanted me to do it for free during an internship. 7 months. No accomodation, no salary, but meal vouchers. When I said, I am looking for a real job, they said I would not be sufficiantly experienced. But for an internship doing the same job I was experienced enough... Luckily I had this very good opportunity in Aachen. The project is much nicer, too. So, back to the roots. Coming back to Aachen means also looking for a flat. Since my lonely year in Aachen and the amazing flatmates in Sundsvall I know, I do not want to live alone the next few months. Today I have my first appointments for inspecting flats. I even have some favorites, but I am a little bit insecure, since I did not sig...

Or are we dancers

My erasmus winter semester 2007 met in Sundsvall during the last weekend. Although I did not even spend 48 hours in Sundsvall it was toally worth money, time and effort to go there. I arrived on Friday evening, met the Spanish girls at Wayne's coffee, had dinner and then we awesomely partied in O'Learys. On Saturday we had brunch in the city, I visited Jonny and Marzena and joined the others later on for skiing near Sidsjön. Saturday evening we had a preparty at Johan's place and invaded later on the good old K århuset where I finally met Sebastian and Solène, too. It is quite funny to see the connections between the different erasmus semesters. After a good long sleep on Sunday morning we met again in the city for brunch, but only shortly, because the Dutchs and me had to leave at 12. They dropped me off at the trainstation. On the way we figured that I would only have 10 minutes between arrival of the train and closing of the check-in. When I had booked trains and flights...
