We did it. Nils and I actually took the trip every true aviation enthusiast should take once in his/her life. Well, at least should try to whenever around the area . Since any reader not absolutely visually impaired knows that I’m currently residing in Hong Kong, most of the more interested in aviation might [...]
Yes, I admit, it has been fairly quiet around here over the last couple of weeks. And since a few people were complaining about this silence I’ll use this first post of year 2008 to get everybody reading this up-to-date about what’s currently planned and going on. Hopefully all of you had a merry Christmas [...]
Yep, it’s been a while since new material appeared in this location but somewhat I didn’t feel like writing too much lately even though plenty of stuff to write about would’ve been available. I still didn’t write about my trip to Japan…shame on me. Anyway, today I attended the very last lecture of this semester. [...]
I eloberated quite a bit on the heat issues plagueing my notebook lately. Well, this weekend the situation worsened considerably up to the point that the machine crashed under the slightest above-average load. Working on it was not possible anymore effectively so I decided to call up the local Asus service office. Contrary to my [...]
As mentioned a few days ago I’m off to Japan tomorrow. So hopefully
nothing serious happens while I’m gone…especially concerning
AirlineSim. But my favourite admin and the other programmers will take care of any problems I guess
Unfortunately the payment of our flight to Beijing is still up in the air although we have tried two [...]
I spent most of my time working on a senseless assessment today. Senseless because it was, as so often, more or less a straight copy from the text book by assignment. I mean, why should I complain, this makes up a considerable amount of my grade in this subject. But it still kills any spark [...]
This must have been one of the most spontaneous decisions of my life: Tonight a buddy I met here in Hong Kong asked me whether I’d like to go on a trip to Japan. Four days in Tokyo, flight from Hong Kong on a Northwest Airlines B747, a typical Japanese Capsule Inn and a guide [...]
Last saturday I participated in an event which, if organized by a school or university in Germany, would probably lead to a medium-sized federal scandal. Okay, maybe I’m exaggerating a little bit…but still, I doubt it would ever happen: Our department organized a wargame. Since it sounded like fun and was (as usual) very cheap [...]
Yesterday we had a nice fieldtrip to Da Chan Bay, a container terminal in Shenzen which will commence operation some time around December of this year. We had our own chartered bus which brought us from the PolyU to the site. At the border everybody had to leave the bus and walk through a large [...]
Yesterday was national day in China and therefore in Hong Kong as well. While the original occasion for this holiday is the founding of the Peoples Republic of China the 10th anniversary of Hong Kong’s "return to the motherland" was also celebrated. Many thousand people including us went to the harbour to see the corresponding [...]
