Five Colours in Her Hair

Would a wonderful day. I went to bed last evening earlier than usual and woke up one hour before my alarm clock. I forgot the article specification at home, so I had to rewrite it once again. I've chosen "Solving limited rationality with knowledge engineering" as a quite general topic. I specificated some sub topics as general techniques, expert systems, agents and decision support systems which could likely be too much for an article of 20 pages. I also introduced UML as descriptive language. Because the thing, that annoyes me at most in Decision Analysis is, that people from different sciences like philosophy, sociology and ecology give their prose descriptions, but everybody writes in his own technical terms. Furthermore, literal descriptions are just imprecise. I hope, I can make it better with UML as graphical description.
After lunch we sit in the sun next to the river like approximatly 99% of the remaining students. I borrowed a book from the library and for one hour Philipp, I and the cute dog enjoyed the sunshine while reading. Well, after a few minutes, reading was too boring for the dog so it prefered the shadow of the tree than our company.
Since 5pm the blue sky has been covered by thick clouds and the air "smells" like thunder or at least rain. Nevertheless, some brave fellows have initiated a barbeque at 7pm. I hope, swimsuits won't be necessary...

Back to the places you will be from

The last day in Sweden went pretty well. After the morning I was finished with everything I had to fix. I brought back all my books to the library, picked up my copies of my diploma thesis, picked up the last stuff from my office, said good bye to Aron, changed my address at the Skatteverket, canceled my bank account and was back at Nacksta before 2pm. At 7pm I've been at Norrmalms and helped Marlies and Annemiek baking appelflappen . But I was rather useless than an effective support. Especially at half past 7 when my last Friends episode in Sweden started. The last for me. Since 8 I was sitting in the basement waiting for people. I do not know exactly when, but I think the first arrived at 9. And it was really nice. And I got the nicest present I could imagine. Well, I could not imagine it before! It is a memory game with pictures of all student from last semester. No picture is twice, so the game is about finding two different pictures of the same person. It even has a box title...

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...
