New Job

My (temporary) office Started my job unexpectedly early (Tuesday) and I only got a web- (and all other sorts of) account(s) today. Seems interesting so far, actually went to Goettingen by train today to hear a talk, so it was quite an adventure.
This is my temporary office; to the left is a Linux-PC (or to make Mr. Stallmann happy, a GNU/Linux PC), and to the right a Unix-terminal. As it’s an office for two people, there’s an equivalent set-up on the other side of the room.

More Snow

More snow [time-travelled post] This is the view from the DLR parking space near the building where I work onto the Braunschweig airport’s runways. The weather on the drive there from Hannover was abysmal (icy rain which froze up my wind-shield while driving), but I got here safely to start my first day of work – doing a PhD.

Virii and Spam for free

Could people please make sure that they a) don’t run any sort of stupid attachments and b) don’t have Sobig.C? I’ve gotten about 60 copies of that particular worm in the past week, and it’s getting annoying. The “usual” (if there is such a thing) audience is probably be well aware of that, but it never hurts to mention it anyway…
Incidentally, my GMX-account has surpassed the 5000 Junk-mails border (which is quite something in 3 months). 🙁
