Being back in Ger­many, I think now my friends in Aus­tralia (or Ire­land, or else­where) are more inter­ested in read­ing this blog… Hence, I’ll be writ­ing it in Eng­lish from now on (or at least for a good while).

Any­way, sorry it took me so long to get back into writ­ing. I’ve been hanging out, relax­ing and just felt like doing noth­ing I didn’t have to for a while. But I’ll let you know what I’ve been up to (roughly).

My first import­ant thing back here was to give the present­a­tion that goes with my Dip­loma Thesis (remem­ber, that “Algorithm Devel­op­ment and Test­ing for Four Legged League Robot Soc­cer Passing”). I pre­pared it in the last two
over in Aus­tralia, prac­ticed it twice over there and had the real run through here.

For­tu­nately everything went really well, my Mac­Book Pro didn’t ran­domly shut down (actu­ally, it hasn’t been doing that for a good while now — must have been one of these firm­ware updates…) and I man­aged to answer the numer­ous ques­tions people poked at me.

Speak­ing of the people, thanks for show­ing up! The sem­inar room was pretty much filled, I was ser­i­ously sur­prised! Well, may be they just came for the 60 odd muffins I fixed :-)

For those of you inter­ested, I did a video record­ing of the present­a­tion. It is fully iPod com­pat­ible and can be down­loaded here. More infos on the talk here.

Is a light year one in which you gain 50% less fat?
