Mit Strom-, Gas-Idealo und Rostock ins Weihnachten rein

Monate sind vorbei und viel ist inzwischen passiert. Zeit drüber zu schreiben findet man kaum.

Ein meiner Lieblingsthemen ist Städtereisen. Und so geht es in diesem Post um Rostock. Es wird nicht viel erzählt weil die Zeit das nicht erlaubt, aber einiges wird's erwähnt.
Eine sehr schöne Stadt. Es lohnt sich auf jeden Fall hinzufahren..im Sommer würde ich sagen, weil man dann die Chance hat, sich in die Wässer der Ostsee zu baden. Man braucht nur 20 min im Auto bis zu Warnemünde, einem Ortteil Rostocks.

Für einen kürzeren o längeren Urlaub könnte man zB im Hotel Citymaxx übernachten, das nicht weit vom Rostocks Zentrum liegt.

Und nachdem man überzeugt ist, dass Rostock eine echt gemütliche Stadt ist, kann man sich auch überlegen, ob man da für eine längere Periode wohnen will.
Bevor man diese Entscheidung trifft, muss man sich auf gas.idealo.de die Gaspreise in Rostock und Umgebung anschauen und checken ob der Gaspreis günstiger in Rostock oder Warnemünde ist als da wo man zurzeit wohnt.
Wie das folgende Foto zeigt, werben die Stadtwerke Rostock mit Ostsee-Strom, Fernwärme, Erdgas.


Hier sind zwei Links die man noch dafür verwenden kann: Gasanbieter in Rostock und für diejenigen, die keine Wohnung direkt in Rostock sondern in Schwerin finden, kann man vielleicht die Gasanbieterin Schwerin vergleichen.

Der Titel dieses Posts ist "Mit Strom-, Gas-Idealo und Rostock ins Weihnachten rein". Über Rostock wurde einiges geschrieben.
Was hat aber Weihnachten mit einem Strom- und Gaspreisvergleich zu tun? Das Team vom Strom.idealo.de, bzw. Gas.idealo.de hat sich was Schönes zum Weihnachten überlegt und zwar ein Spiel, wo man einige coole Sachen gewinnen kann. Darunter eine Spielkonsole oder ein iPod. Die Vorraussetzung besteht drauf, einen Beitrag auf einem eigenen Blog über strom.idealo.de und deren Weihnachtsidee zu verfassen.

Falls man doch kein Strom.Idealo Weihnachtsgeschenk gewinnt, kann man unter Idealo die Preise für diese Produkte vergleichen und vielleicht lohnt es sich, eins davon selber zu kaufen.

Internship Report & Projekt Work

A very stressy period. No motivation to write, to jogg, to sleep.
But in 3 weeks everything should be over.

Part of the tasks needed to be done in this period was to write the internship report. And I did iiiiiiiiiiiiit. Felt pretty good about it. Could have write more. :d
Tomorrow will pick up my certificate from the company and submit it together with the report on monday to my uni.

This internship report represented 'just' a break from the project I am currently doing. Now back to writing it. I need to submit tomorrow a draft. Buuuuuut.. apparently I have some problems in matching the content to the structure.

Ahh. The projekt work is about developing visualizations and interactive learning elements for the introductory course to mathematics at an academical level.

My (new) album

I went through my friends' blogs to see if they also don't have time like me to write and ran into a post Mtx wrote sometime in March.

And this is my result:



Very cool.

PS: I've just noticed i took instead of the last random quotation the first one. I stick to my 'mistake' coz i think it suits better. The last one would have been '[..]"thank you," that would suffice.' Or am i wrong?

Wen

Wen?!
Wen interessiert's?
Wen interessiert's was?!
Alles!
Was Alles?!
Das ich kurz davor bin, alles aufzugeben.
Ach was. Das war es?!

Manners in jogging

What do u do when u meet somebody u know while jogging?

Imagine u are out jogging and in front of u at around 100m u see somebody u know, who is coming towards u, also jogging. How do u react? What do u do?
Salute? He/She is still too far to say something. U cannot shout cause u r running so u cannot do both at the same time.
U smile? For how long?! Will the other one see u?
U stare? Stare like.. an idiot?! For how long?!
The first 50m u can pretend either u didnt see him/her, u got distracted by some ppl walking their dogs or u look down in the idea that u were trying to avoid stepping in some dog sh.. ( she/he will understand!! )
If u decide to wait till u get closer to him/her and then start a sentence what sentence do u choose?!
'Hey. Going home already?' 'Hey, almost finished? I started later today/ Couldnt wake up earlier.' 'Hey. When did u get here?' 'Hey, still doing some laps? How many?'....... Anything u might choose will sound silly. And anyhow u 'force' also the other one to say something, so also his/her training is ruined.
Besides that u might not finish the sentence and need either to slow down, which isn't recommended cause u should keep the same pace otherwise u get tired, or to keep on running but turning a little to finish the sentence.
.. or wave? wave and smile? ..for some seconds when u are at 50m away from the other one and then look straight ahead and continue jogging.. ?!

Din colectia.. lucruri utile

Am fost si eu ca totul omul, ca e trendy, WE-ul trecut la Ikea, a 4-a oara cand pun piciorul in acest hipermarket. Vroiam sa imi cumpar o lampa pentru ca in camera mea nu prea e lumina in timpul zilei si acum ca stau 2 zile pe sapt akas vreau si eu sa am impresia ca e zi afara.
Si ce mai vroiam sa imi cumpar.. ahh.. un termos ca pliculetzele de ceaiuri de mi le-am adus din Londra de revelion (ahh am fost acolo, chiar tre sa povestesc.. well, cand timp pentru asha ceva?!) nu merita irosite pe o canutza de juma de litru.
Ahh si un ghiveci mic pentru planta de am 'ciordit-o' (dar era in scara blocului si avea destule subramurele.. nu o sa se simta!!) o sapt in urma. Cum nu am gasit la Ikea un ghiveci minuscul am tras o fuga si la Bauhaus-ul de langa. Acolo peste ce dau? Peste aceasta tanti. Tanti?! Hmm..puei tanti ar trebui sa fie ca sablonul se cam potriveste. Dar pretzul?!?!?! sau numele?! 169€ Schwimmerin. Deci toti in cor: schwimmerin?!?!?!
Si deci intrebarea ce m-a izbit in momentul acela a fost: la ce..se foloseste?



Apropos a fost prima oara cand mi-am cumparat si eu ceva de acolo. Da!! Spre mirarea multora, pot sa ies din magazin si fara sa cumpar ceva. Ahh primele dati parca am mancat ceva pe acolo. Bunicica mancarea, dar obsesia mea pentru mancare sanatoasa ma impiedica sa ma entuziasmez mai mult.

Auf der Suche nach..

Wie kann man Mathematik / Informatik / Neue Medien u. Technologien ( ...3D Animation... ) mit interkulturellen Kommunikation verbinden ?

Hilfeeeeeeee..............

[later edit:
"Welche Rolle können die neuen Medien in interkultureller Kommunikation spielen?"
"Wie kann Informatik zur Entwicklung der interkulturellen Kommunikation benutzt werden?
"Intercultural communication needs a support to allow the different parties to converse. When the network expands, an organized logic ( math ) is needed"

bla bla bla.. ein Mathematiker braucht etwas Konkretes!!!]

It is said that mathematicians have the eye made for perfect shapes, aligned objects.

Dont you want to just cut the trees from the right side so that they have the same shape like the ones on the left side? Or just to push them a little bit backwards to be on the same level with the other ones on the left.

Talents Part 6

but this time, not mine:

08++

Another year is behind us. Thought a lot in the last 2 weeks of what i should be grateful for and..how. It was an intensive 2008, lots of hard times, lots of good moments (which i hv no idea why they aren't so clear in my mind.. at least clearer than the 'bad times'), lots of up and downs, lots of decisions.
But 2009 planed for me other trips, other trials to see if i can climb/have the right tools to go through the walls that will appear in front of me (seen or unseen).

To summerize the last weeks of Dec/ beginning of Jan:
- my Bday
- some parties (gossip-type)
- 3 1/2 months in Berlin
- Christmas party @job
- 1 week @home[Bukarest] on Christmas
- 1 week @London on New Year's Eve

Lots of stories..few time to tell them..

To avoid any misunderstanding or unpleasant situation write 1st the message, then choose the person you want to sent it to.. not other way around !!!!!

Talking about insights.. (Berlin Wall)

..i found an original present for my best friend: Painted pieces of the Berlin wall in a small black frame.

--
In order to remember this moment will mention a conversation i had with one of my work collegues, while 'picking up' the shapeless fragments from the wall.
He wanted to give me as a present on my bday some pieces of the wall (terrible cool!!!!). But... he was the only one who thought of it as a good idea, cause he got an answer like: 'What do u mean take some pieces from the wall?! Let's buy some.'

ahh.. buy them ?!?!?!?! :))

My music

A song that one can easily listen.. in an infinite loop:
Sad Robot - Pornophonique


Another song that i find ok, as through my veins flows a latin blood, is:
Dejame vivir - La Mari de Chambao

From a B to another B...

No, the post isn't about relationships, but about 'my towns'. Living for almost 24 years in a B city, 'passing' for 2 years through an H city ( more exactly HH ) i got to another B city. From a capital city to another. ;-)

Sei multi, sei kulti, sei Berlin!
