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.

Mijn nederlandse week (deel 2)

I skipped work on Friday. I would have been the only one at work and I had already finished every lonely job the week before when my supervisor has been sick. I made some shopping and recovered in bed from Queensday. In the evening I went out with Ulrich. In the third pub we met two friends of him and continued with them our pub tour. I finally get to know the locations. It is quite embarrasing. As Ulrich kept asking me "What have you done all the years, if you do not know these pubs?", I really asked myself how I could have missed the basics. Well, I never has been in Aachen in the weekends and during the week I studied. Two sides. The combination of both started in Sweden. But now I even have an idea what to show people who would come for a visit to Aachen (just call me). While I've been in the Netherlands my bike has been brought to Aachen. Finally. I was planning this since the first week I got to Aachen 4 years ago, but I always wanted to keep the bike at my parents ...

MFG

I think, I had a first day that is usual for a first day in computer business. Of course, I was 20 mintues too late, because the village of the company was surprisingly bigger than one street and I ended up somewhere in nowhere. Luckily Micha could pick me up. What a start. Next getting a card at the entrance. I am not in the system, so I get a one-day entrance card. Maybe tomorrow I am already registered. Afterwards I met a lot of people, learned a lot of names. At Atos you call each other with the first name (not so usual for distance-loving Germany). And now I have an idea why they hired me. I think I met 50 people, but they had only 10 different names. Maybe they hire people because of their names. Almost everybody seems to be called Wolfgang, Peter, Stefan, Michael, and - of course - Markus. Getting to know a lot of people also means to learn about a lot of different projects. And a lot of technical terms I never heard of before. Until 12 my head was full of technical terms and cr...

High Fens

During my morning translation shift I got mail from INCAS about a hiking trip through the High Fens in Belgium. The High Fens are unique marshlands at the border between Germany and Belgium. The hiking trip was announced to be 25 km, guided by ranger through a restricted area and with the requirement for a second pair of shoes, because the first one will be uncomfortable after having crossed marshland and a river. That sounded exact like a trip I would like, so I studied Monday morning at home in order to be on time at the registration board. INCAS is something you can compare with the International Committee in Sundsvall. They organize trips. They have their office in the same building as the Internation Office, and they are sponsored by the international office of the RWTH Aachen ad well as Fachochschule Aachen. But in contrast to International Committee in Sundsvall INCAS offers are for all students. Not limited to Erasmus students, Free Movers or national students, but they are f...
