The Boys Are Back In Town

More than three weeks have passed since my last post. As noticed I was at Germany over christmas, but most of the three weeks I was working for university. As result my Organisational Decision Making course is now finished and I passed it with distinction.
My journey home started on thursday afternoon, where a storm in middle Europe made flying difficult. People were only allowed to go in small groups to the plane, so nobody fell from the stairs while waiting for the one infront of him or her. Sitting in the standing plane was also interesting. The plane, essecially its wings, were shaking a lot. And while speeding up the plane felt like making two short jumps to the right hit by the storm. After this very interesting flight we landed at Skavsta where it was suprisingly snowing. As the rest of Europe Sweden also has a far to warm winter. At Skavsta were 4 degres, but it was snowing. Because I have bought my retur-ticket for the shuttle bus last year on my way to Germany I was lucky to get the second last place at the bus while others had to wait for their tickets. After having arrived at Stockholm I just had to wait a little bit more than one hour for the Ybuss to Sundsvall at 9pm. This time the bus was almost empty so I had enough space for my legs. Most of the time I was reading while the bus was driving through a dark but beautiful winter landscape. The last hour I slept. At 2:15am I arrived in a snowless Sundsvall. Instead of snow it had huge ice plates all over the floor. And I realized that there are no busses at night during the week. Because of this I had to walk with my luggage and it took one hour to arrive at Nacksta. It was cold (-4 degrees) but I did not feel it. And I made a lot of noice because of the wheels of my coffin.
A long trip like this still feel unbelievable to me. I traveled 1500 kilometers for arriving at the only house in the world I have a key for (at the moment) to find one particular flat with one particular room just for me. I cannot describe it, but I need some time to realize that I arrived.
Having arrived I drank a lot and ate a little bit. And slept until half past 11. In the afternoon Phil and Ulrich visitied me for learning Predicate Logic. This course is hard, I don't get it. And I don't really understand why. During the lessons it was very easy, but now I don't get a clue.
In the evening I plugged my new external hard drive to the RSA-computer at the living room. Now we can watch the movies recorded with onlinetvrecorder in the living room on the big monitor. We did it yesterday. It's almost perfect. We need a better sound system, but right for the moment, it's fun at all.
While we were looking "television" we recognized the slight snowfall outside. It was not snowing much but until midnight the ground was covered. Now we have a few centimeters of snow here. Even if it is a warm winter, it seems to be good enough for a little bit of snow. And the river is still frozen. A few footsteps even proof the ice being strong enough to hold one freak.
At saturday we met with Rueben at the library at 11am learning until 3pm. It's better now, but I still need exercise. There is one day left until monday. On monday we will see.

Friday Night

Wednesday and thursday where only university days. My robot can walk now from A to B and reacts properly to simple obstacles. But he has a problem with bigger obstacles. Those, who are interested in it: I covered the pathfinding algorithm from the algorithm for Bresenham-lines and added some simple reactions to obstacles. But I think I have to redesign it, because of the big-obstacle-problem. He needs a memory where he has already been on his path and he needs to calculate the path before he starts to walk on it. On friday I did nothing special. I phoned StuBo for moving to 16B, I could only speak on a recorder. Better luck next time. I also contacted my home university for some bureucracy stuff. I guess this will never end until I would leave Germany. Not that I plan to do it (I hear the rumors arising again). But I hate this German behaviour first to think about rising for denying service. For my financial support from the state, I need two applications from the university. But the d...

Vi ses

Almost a week past since my last entry. So it is time for a summary: Weekend: At weekend we got visitors from Östersund. I enjoyed meeting my friends again. We visited Sundsvall, cooked together and ate and drank. Weekend past to quickly for me. It was far too short. But next weekends will be revivals, too. Week: The week started annoying. Bureaucracy everywhere. Damn annoying. But at least i got a contract from Mittuniversitetet for my master, so i will stay enrolled here until end of january 2008. Now i have to tell Aachen about my plans. I hope they won't try to stop me. I would like to make my diploma there as well my master here. This week is the first week with free days. Tuesday and Thursday are/were free for me, because i had no lessons. But i still wonder how quick time passes. I remember my last year in Aachen and i did so many things on one day, always working, always in a hurry, but here... i don't know. At the end of day i just can count a view things i did during ...
