It had english instructions, but only for a oven. So I just guessed. Microwave is so easy to use. Set temp, then set timer via a dial. It just starts. Ding, turns off. None of this programming nonsense heh. The food is so so, maybe it doesn’t have any of the preservative crap our food… Continue reading Just nuked my first frozen meal

Hangin’ with Martin
Last night I went down to Martin’s and watched a little German TV. Was quite amusing. We then watched some fan flicks like Troops and also Triumph. I then got my iPod and we shared musical tastes. I really am bummed Apple won’t let me put new music on my iPod without syncing my library.… Continue reading Hangin’ with Martin
Skypin’ Out
Last night I paid $10 Euro ($12.40 US) for 10 hours of Skype time. Because I bought $10 worth I got 2 free hours tacked on. Skype is a teleconference application that lets you call other computer users for free. It is best to have a USB headset so you don’t get feedback. You can… Continue reading Skypin’ Out
Martin as the drummer
There was a PhD challenge today. After the verbal challenge about 20 people marched to the statue of Otto Von Guering and did other whacky things. Martin was in costume and the drummer. It was quite amusing 🙂 I am trying to get some basic concepts down before I leave so I just watched from… Continue reading Martin as the drummer

Apple ships iPod with Video, TV shows
Is kind of a yawner but the real story is the TV shows, at a small 320×240 video size. I bought Desperate Housewives Season 2 Episode 1. It is 206mb in size. Then it took an hour to authorize my laptop to watch what I had paid for. It tells me I have 3 machines… Continue reading Apple ships iPod with Video, TV shows

As pointed out by someone on IRC, searching Tiger’s dictionary for “Democracy” yields the following. Guess this is what you get for using a free dictionary eh?
Steve in Germany – Day 14, part zwei
Sunday was awesome. I had brunch at Canopé, which was a buffet of german pancakes, meatballs, eggs, ham, etc, etc. Yummy.

That is an amazing piece of engineering and is essentially a big… Continue reading Steve in Germany – Day 14, part zwei

BrightSide display
If you are into new display technologies, check out the BrightSide. Be sure to read the entire article, or you can skip to the Demo using the popup menu. This is fairly impressive. At $49,000 it will take awhile to come down in price, but the theory behind it (literally) is quite interesting.

Saturday was beautiful! I’ll post pics in awhile. It was a bright, sunny day and I got out for an hour walk through the neighborhood to take pictures.

Friday! I’m settling in as I almost left my laptop at home. I headed in to work and spent the day updating records in our database.
