Coming Clean

Perhaps you have already noticed some differences between men and women. During their evolution, which seems to be totally different to evolution of men, they evolved skills no man can every imagine. One of these skills is to find weaknesses. Do you know these situations? You have cleaned your room and your mother or girlfriend enters and finds immidiatly the only place you forgot to clean (behind the cupboard, on the doorframe etc.). Even if they don't search, they find these places in seconds. By doing this, they can show you places you have never known them to exist before! And today I saw a job where you can use this ability perfectly: the inspector.
Because Basti had his inspection today, he cleaned the whole flat yesterday night. I was thinking he is too serious, because Dennis and I are still living here and I thought Basti would have just had to clean his own room. But he cleaned everything, and the flat shines in light like never seen before. It was not that clean when we moved in. Floors, furnitures, kitchen, bathrooms... just everything.
Well, almost everyhting. Tody came the inspector. Because he is obviously no woman, this traitor on his own species had a list showing what to check in the flat. But he were not ably to deny his genes generally, because he needed a few minutes to find Bastis weaknesses. Basti left some dust at the lamp at the bathroom and had not cleaned the surface of the doorframes of the cupboards at the kitchen. After having diagnosted these things the inspector used the worst of all tricks.
This trick is such an evil one that every man looses at this. Because when a man cleans a room, he has a plan. The whole room is virtually saved in his head as a perfectly measured map. Because they do not enjoy to much thinking they develop an cleaning-room-algorithm which is something like "Clean every surface you can see". And then he cleans the room. After that the room looks fine, but this algorithm has some critical weaknesses which somehow men never can overcome. For example, something you should never do in such a man-clean room is to move something. Therefore: Don't move anything! No lamp, no carpet, no cupboard, no anything. Just leave everything where it is. This is an artwork, a picture, a something for dreaming of perfectly cleaned rooms.
So the inspector moved the oven a few centimeters forward pointing at the wall behind it which we had never seen before. And we said the same stupid thing every man says when this happens: "We did not know that we can move the oven!". We could also have said, that we don't know how to spell our names. At least the inspector seems to think like I do, because he gave Basti time until tomorrow (!!!) to repair these things. The spanish girls got only 5 minutes for cleaning the oven.
Concluding: this absolute serious cleaning session is worthless at all. I cooked my food a few minutes ago and the pasta overboiled...
I think, as a friend and to void addition suprises tomorrow, I should show Basti another place he has never seen before.

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 ...
