English Man in NewYork

During the sunday I staid at home trying to revive from saturday. Monday morning I went to university just for realizing that my lesson is on tuesday. But I staid there and worked on my second AI assignment. For those who are interested: it is about the wolf-sheep-cabbage-river-problem. Wolf, sheep, cabbage and farmer are at one side of a river. The farmer has a boat and wants to get every creature to the other side of the river, but the boat can only hold him and one creature. How should he solve his problem while the wolf would eat the sheep and the sheep would eat the cabbage if the farmer is not with them (don't ask me, why he takes care of the wolf...). As with the robot-exercise before, the story is just bluff. The solution for this problem has to be found with a breath-first-search. And because I was upset with C++ I used Java this time, because I know the libraries and datastructures. At C++ I would have had to implement lists by my own (according to a pattern given by the lecturer). Because I switched to Java I've been able to finish the program in short time. I hope, he will accept it. On thursday I will have my fourth lab exercise in AI (the third is homework, based on the second; I hope I can reuse the java program). And suprisingly it will be in VisualProlog! That's quite cool. I am more familiar with Prolog than with C++. And you usually do not have to think about datastructures and so on. You just have to conzentrate on the algorithm. I guess, this will be more fun than the former assignments.
The winter is quite warm. The snow is melting, but during the night we received a new centimeter. But because it melts during the day and freezes again during the night, you have ice everywhere. Today it is not that bad, because of fresh snow on it, but yesterday it was sometimes difficult no to fall.

Aller guten Dinge sind drei

On Friday we had a party at Norrmalms. And because the party room looses power at 12pm everybody had to bring candles. Cool idea. In the morning I felt a little bit dizzy. I guess, due to Matt's Whiskey-Coke. At a Whiskey-Cola by Matt Coke is only used for giving the Whiskey a slightly darker color. On Saturday we have been to Kårhuset the first time since weeks, because Marcolino, Thomas and Jens were working there for the first time all together on one evening. And surprisingly the party it was very good. First we conquered a private party at the upper floor. It was meant for some Swedish students, but they were already drunk and not caring about who enters the dinner room. And they had a cool Live-band who played only good rock. They stopped at half past 1 and the last two hours we sticked to the usual dance floor who did not have the usual annoying Swedish chart music. I cannot recall what they were playing, because most songs I did not know, but it was funny. Somehow, this se...

First week

Now it has been almost a week since I came back and I remember why: because of the summer. It is the most beautiful season here. And I tried to take advantage of the weather. I got a new bicycle for I changed my small blue one with Anna's big yellow bike. Funny, it is the same modell as mine in Germany - just bigger. My first ride was to Sidsjön two days ago to have a picknick there. The day after I repaired the brakes and today I bought a new lock and oil for the chain. This evening it rained and tomorrow shall be the ugly weather, too. I want to try to use the next sunny day for a small tour. Probably the road along Sidsjön out of Sundsvall.

Ankle parade

What a weekend. Friday I watched "The Ring" with Christian and Maritha. And for getting down after the movie we watched Scream3. Saturday was a soccer-tournament in the Nacksta sportshall. When we entered the hall and watched the other teams we realzied immediately "Damn, they know how to play". So we started straight away we tactical plans. "Ok, first, with which foot do you shoot" - "Right" - "I as well right" - "Right, too" - "Don't know, I never kicked a ball before"... We were definitely the team with the most fun. We laughed so much. More and more werid tactics arised. From playing in a circle, so everybody can shot with the right foot, to Eileen's scare-tactic which should not explained in detail here. After three matches we were out, but we won at least the second. During the second game in injured somehow my ankle. I have no idea when and how, but I skipped for that reason the last match. The girls h...
