GUEST-BlOG!


yeah, since it seems to be quite in fashion to
have a guest bLogging, i thought i offer this
"privilege" to someone who is valuable for me too.
so here it is, the first guest-bLog-entry, done
by... lilo.
and here is what she has to tell the world:

snowboarding in kirchberg, tyrol


a four day holiday trip to kirchberg in tyrol with
zombiequeen, her sister and her sister's husband,
from the 20th to the 24th of february 2006.

day_01: we went to "wildbichl" to visit a zoo there,
but unfortunately the zoo was closed this day. damn,
we went there by car about an hour, just to see the
lynxes. bad luck. instead we ended up shopping in
kufstein, which was pretty ok.

day_02: yippieh, snowboarding on the "pengelstein".
it was quite exhaustive for all of us, since we all
had a massive lack of endurance and power. but it
was great fun.

day_03: this time snowboarding in "westendorf", but
unfortunately without zombiequeen, since she had to
do some stuff for the university. this day i had two
really bad falls, so (nearly) all my bones hurt.
that's why i set the last ski-run aside and took
the cable railway instead - much more comfortable.

day_04: on our way home we stopped at the zoo in
wildbichl again, this time it was really opened -
yahooo, we saw the lynx! especially funny and cute
were the coypus, the wild boars and the snowy owl.
the zoo itself is not really big (see the map here),
but it was definitely worth the little detouring.

thanks to zombiequeen (her elder sissy and her
elder sissie's husband) for all the fun and joy
i had during these days.

ITnT trade fair (vienna)


it was my first time to the ITnT, that was merged
from the exponet (and maybe some other exhibitions),
which i had attended 3 times so far. well, the fair
was not really very exciting - nor was there too
much new stuff (or maybe i just didn't look close
enough), except for a 3D-television that really had
a great three dimensional image and effect. i didn't
ask what this effect was based on, or what the used
technology was, i just enjoyed the shown demos
(only rendered CGI stuff, since it seems there are
no cameras yet that can record in 3d, but as
mentioned, i didn't ask for details). amongst the
280 exhibitors the big-players (in austria) were
there too, like SAP, microsoft, 3, one, i-node,
etc. but also loads of smaller companies. a pretty
big area was occupied by the hagenberg delegation,
like "Softwarepark Hagenberg", "FAW", "RISC Software
GmbH", "FH Hagenberg", "SCCH", "Hagenberg Software 
GmbH", "BlueSource", etc. They all said it was a big
success for them, so at least they had some profit
from this fair.

after i left the fair i took a walk through the
prater to get to the metro station. in winter this
is really a dreary place, especially if it's also
rainy, foggy and windy - i really enjoyed it.

visual impressions can be shared and enjoyed here.

valentine's day


since zombiequeen left for a trip to germany yesterday
i had to spend valentine's day alone (*sigh*). but i
got a really cool present - the guy from delivery
service  ringing the doorbell at 06:54 today in the
morning handing out a big package. uh, that was the
present zombiequeen was talking about already for days.
so i unwrapped it and got this really cool book by
hans ruedi giger - "necronomicon I & II"! wow, this
book i always wanted to lay my hands on, but the 
hardcover version usually costs about 99EUR, so i
always refused to buy one. now i have a paperback
version - yippieh!

thanks so much, zombiequeen for this really wonder-
ful present - i hope you enjoy yours the same way
as i do mine.

a few days in vienna...


thursday:
heading thursday afternoon to the railway-station, getting
a train to vienna. afterwards going to a farewell-party 
of a friend of my girlfriend at the club2. enjoying the
happy hour for cocktails, which ment i drank a lot of
healthy stuff (virgins).

friday:
been to the SCS (large shopping mall) and bought some
new miniatures from the alien movies quadrology (space
jockey [01/02]; new alien [01/02]).

saturday:
been invited to a birthday party of a friend of ours.
we met at the vegetasia, a chinese restaurant that offers
traditional chinese food but all created with tofu only.
so you have crispy chicken, duck, pork, ribs, etc. - and
it really looks like real meat, but it actually doesn't
taste like meat. instead it tastes like... hm... tofu.
nonetheless a real delicious experience i can only re-
commend. yeah, there are some pics here.

sunday:
a concert i've been looking forward for such a long time:
covenant + roter sand + client at the planet music. un-
fortunately i was not allowed to take my camera with me
into the concert hall - really bad luck. another misfortune
was the upcomming illness of my girlfriend which kept
her from attending the concert - again really bad luck.
the performance by covenant again was really superb. they
played all tracks from their new album "Skyshaper" (shape
it!) and loads of old fine stuff. Roter Sand was great
too, although unfortunately a bit short - maybe too short.
loads of well known songs too, and some (to me) unknown
stuff too. Client was a bit strange and i'm still not
sure what to make of this performance - maybe i just
shouldn't try to.


yow, this was an almost boring weekend. this is a rare
occurrence, yet i thought i share it here. hope no one is
disappointed...


valentine's day greetings go out to zombiequeen!
