Seit Freitag besitze ich nun offiziell einen Abschluss als BSc (hons) Internet Applications Development.
Am Donnerstag fiel Familie Teschke in Southampton ein. Das Zimmer im Southampton Park Hotel war… ich würde es “seltsam” nennen wollen. Alle Spiegel hingen konsequent etwa auf Brusthöhe, so dass konstantes Kniebeugen erforderlich war. Über die Duschabtrennung konnte ich auch bequem hinweg [...]

In einem Anflug unerwarteter Langeweile und Frustration angesichts des Unwillens der Uni, meine E-Mail-Adresse zu akzeptieren, entstand dies.
Ich übernehme keinerlei Verantwortung, falls irgendjemandem davon die Ohren bluten sollten. Ferner wird es Zeit für’s Abendessen.

Vorhin trudelte eine E-Mail in meinem Postfach ein. Auf den ersten Blick enthielt die für mich irrelevanten Unsinn und ich war drauf und dran, sie als Spam abzutun. Doch da erblickte ich ein Wort, das mir die ganze Dramatik der Situation offenbarte:
Kornblume
In der Tat handelte es sich um eine E-Mail, die an die Besitzer des [...]

Last week I had my first, last and only exam at this university. I don’t really know what to think about it; it really depends on whether I actually wrote the kind of stuff Bernard wanted to read. At least we had the great opportunity to pick four out of six questions, so at least [...]

And now the DCiJ demo is history. It went surprisingly well. Mark had me enter a couple of bookings, checked a few of the details and that was basically it. I had really imagined it to be far worse. Makes me feel a lot better about the poster day as well.
Now I can move all [...]

Honestly? I have no idea why I haven’t posted anything yet. Even though I have such great news on my hands.
I’m free!
Last Wednesday I finally handed in all my remaining projects, which is to say DCiJ and Project 2. They’re gone. Forever. Now I can travel the world and see wonders no man has ever [...]

And finally the A&DD assignment, or as I call it…well, there are no words for it really and this is growing old anyway.
A&DD stands for “Advanced and Distributed Databases”. Apparently in year 2 there’s a unit called “AD&D”. Yet since I spent the first two years in Germany and not at SSU so many bad [...]

A&DD is history!
Lukas and I sat down for a couple of hours to put the beast together and now it’s all done and handed in and all.
One down, three more to go.

A little interlude of the recommendation-kind. People of Interwebland, check out Frederik’s final year project MAGNIFYARR (formerly YARR).
MAGNIFYARR Advanced Recommendation Repository is not only the smoking ruin of a recursive acronym but also “a project on personalized product recommendations. Currently MAGNIFYARR only supports books, but other products will be supported in the future. The users [...]

Be afraid, for now I give you: The DCiJ Assignment, or as I call it, “The Ugly One”.
DCiJ obviously stands for “Distributed Computing in Java”. Didn’t know that? No wonder you’ve got nothing better to do than reading this blog.
I guess the reason for this assignment must be that our lecturer fell in a coma [...]
