Marijuana Causing Cataracts

new couch idea! Hot or not?

In my last conversation with Alex and other Olli from neighboring Blog "Pedestrian2Pilot" - of course on the couch - I had a spontaneous thought. When I asked him if I should put this idea in the blog for discussion, everyone agreed: "Absolutely!" And now I'm curious what you think of it as a blog reader. I ask for your honest opinion and constructive criticism.

Olli ( me yes even in the Bahamas as a "guest" host ), yesterday made me spend the night right on his couch. The offer for the guest bed, I knocked out thanks, I was with my "professional reputation" but does not agree. The photo by the way on Sunday morning (today) emerged "zumseL" has shot of me and "The Couch Surfer after work" comments. ;-)

It was not the first time I was wondering what topics or content I could publish here on the blog, without it in a description of banalities, or simply the "Gesülze" ends. I succeeded in the past not always sure. But I have always tried ...

But now the idea: it has the working title "Sunday talks on the couch." It is important that I at least once a month talking to various people in Germany or elsewhere leads the world on a couch. Time there is no limitation, thematically no restrictions. Whether a Ice-owners in winter, an activist of a controversial organization, the postman, Pastor, unemployed, immigrants, scientists, or perhaps one or the other "celebrities" - the possibilities are numerous.

Ideally, I spend the night with my conversation partners (as in unusual places) as a couch surfer. In a pinch on my own (perhaps inflated) couch that I would create for this purpose. My hope is to develop a similar level this interesting discussions, as I almost always led to my project trip.

Here in the blog I will summarize the meeting. Illustrated and, where appropriate, by video clips. You should have a blog readers the opportunity to participate actively in the planning yourself. By me about your proposals and wishes. I would also report in advance of my next hosts, so that you can tell me what questions you would ask.

Well, first is first an idea. An idea that is still growing. Almost every hour I can think of new things relating thereto. I look forward to your feedback! Hot or not?

I wish you a pleasant start to the week!

Adjusting A Ffurnace Flame

Couch thought

Aitutaki (Cook Islands)
This question burns me a long time under the nails. Now at last I may publish them along with the images. But before I do that, I read a passage in a book that brings me to another thought at first. I call it simply the "coffee-thoughts".



Auckland
"The Flashback creeps in like a sneeze. I feel how it starts in my head like a beehive to vibrate. The ground under me is as soft as cotton wool and it seems like I'm sinking in it. Everything around me fades, I get a tunnel vision and I am no longer capable of things sight to really. "


Dubai
These words do not come from me. But they reflect what I experience often when I am sitting on the couch and think. Suddenly, I return to the past and try to search deep inside me, why I have done something. Or why I have not done anything have.

Beijing
It would be inappropriate to compare the experiences of the author of the top line with my experiences. Daniela Matijevic is a friend of mine from Osnabrück. In her recently published book "The hell I could have lived," she says about their traumatic experiences as a medical soldier while deployed in Kosovo. A courageous step. For I know it will not please everyone in the Force, making it much more in her book brings to language.

Washington DC
And exactly that, I am also aware, I think to myself as I read through their lines. I understand that not everyone understands the concern my frankness on this blog. The skepticism I have encountered in many places. When family, friends, others blog readers. I have often wondered whether it makes sense to outline my personal and project life here in detail. And if so, how deep should I go into detail here? Well, I would lie elsewhere on the "famous" bed, the expectations would be in my audience quite different. He expects the soul striptease from me. to find a basis for psychological help - and rightly so.

Johannesburg
Here is something different. Here it is less about the psyche of the blogger or reader. I decide for myself what I want to give of myself and what is not. The bar is not stuck with me particularly high. A fortiori, when I look at the development of the internet.

Keywords: Facebook. If one bears in mind also the fact that the "transparent citizen" is also of previously state because no "rumor" anymore, help it one in the decision. Me at least. I'm just the "glass" Daniel Wear and yet even with this. (My ego extroverted just jumps for joy in me!)

New York City (Manhattan)
secrets And I can keep still. Basically, there is only one taboo that I do not want to break here in the blog and elsewhere: to discredit people.

Now you ask why he tells us this now? Because it is an elementary part of my world of thoughts "on the couch" is.

Tanzania
If I have learned one thing on the project trip, then there is the fact that in open and honest discussions of the couch at least plays an important supporting role. Proof of this are my countless conversations with some strangers in all countries. We knew they take few hours. But the "talks" on the couch were almost always in proportions who trusted in their openness and honesty in conversations with people very reminiscent. About the life partner. Or the best friend. Some intimate things have been mentioned. flowed in one case with a host even the tears. Something happens to you not with strangers at the sales counter in the bakery or in the cinema (even with popcorn and cola). At least the probability is for it to zero.

Los Angeles
Since I was allowed to make these experiences, I am convinced that the couch for me - not only because of their journey - a deeper meaning. It is not just a sitting or sleeping. It is the platform for open discussions. And only through openness to creating trust and closeness. In order not to be too philosophical, try I bring about my person to the point: I would like to build this closeness and trust to those people with whom I get on the couch to talk. And succeed! Of course, everyone for themselves who ensure that trust not to abuse. Ultimately, this approach serves

but an automated selection of competitors. True to the motto: "I am! ! Who does not like me so, I must avoid "

Hong Kong
The more I think about it, a request comes in to me: On 2 December I had a talk with my potential new employer. No, I am now not suggest him a hearing on the sofa. But it would be an idea to set up a couch in the office. Or more (you can see, the job does the already quite good. What is missing is the "Otto" on the contract). Just a thought.

Sydney
Where we are in the actual reason why I wanted to write this entry. As I once again around the "bush" around talking. One year ago, I wanted to ask this question here. And if you make it Believe it or not, so far I have avoided the nearly infinite realm of concepts on the Internet to search for the solution. I once a selection of photos from my couch looking out on the trip and posted here. Or it means "couch" or "couches" or even (based on the majority of espresso), "Couchman"? As long as I'm still not sure, I probably fall back on the term "sofa". Or it would even rightly called "eclipse"? Who knows ...

loving greeting from my "seat",

SharePoint 2010 - The hidden Site Column Template

The introduction of SharePoint 2010 Templates with Visual Studio 2010 makes it easier to develop for SharePoint considerably. Create, edit XML files by hand and is due to the various templates for almost the past or at least reduced to a multiple. One thing I was looking in the last few days but without success - the Site Column Template. At least in Visual Studio it will be shown in any dialogue ... Attempts

I did it with an empty element: as follows





The contents of the metadata ( SharePointProjectItem.spdata) looks:





The trick - the type of generic element on Field change and adjust the deployment Scope:





The result can be seen the basis of the icon (to open any Visual Studio solution and close to visible):

Do Bodybuilders Wax Or Shave

Goodbye, Berlin's couch ...

I'm back. On a couch. Actually the title should read this blog entry yes "From the couch to the office", but the past few weeks, but are rather different than what I hoped for.

few weeks ago I was still asleep on the couch of a friend in Berlin and I made a pilgrimage from there to my new office in Berlin-Mitte. A new apartment I have now found, in the immediate vicinity of the office (by the way the photo shows the view from my bedroom window). And a couch is also available there. The idea of couch surfing would therefore continue to live here. Had! For the idea, to live and work in Berlin, I have now passed again. The ugly culmination of a turbulent year. But I look with hope to a future that I will in future make in my home town of Osnabrueck.

few months ago I decided to work again as a team. Was bumpy to work everyday as a single fighter in Brazil. The business risks can not be predicted. I also work with colleagues was missing, the shared development of ideas and their implementation. That's why I've tried to find a new employer. In Munich, Osnabrück and Berlin. reached shortly after my accident in Thailand me Commitment of the PR agency to receive me as a manager with the team. The business model I liked. The colleagues. But in recent weeks turned out quickly that my fellow directors and I'm not quite to "same wavelength" lie. So we pulled the ripcord. But there are also trial periods.

Maybe it was the fate that I go home again. In the vicinity of my son, my family, my friends. Well, at least I come from January 2011 to my new job in a reputable agency Osnabrück. And I look forward to.

is a pity that after such a short time again in the new apartment must move out. Because I have a very nice roommate and the apartment was located directly on Alexanderplatz. And the couch is maybe convenient! Speaking of coffee, I must be the same now the pictures of my sleeping quarters look out of the trip - for the next blog entry. Where the sofas are playing all over the world namely a supporting role. Let me conclude

align it a nice greeting: thanks very Rita at all those who have given her a glimmer of hope with their comments. I have it translated into English and sent contributions. She says they have read every single comment and attention they've been very pleased about it. "Please say thank you to everybody, "she writes me. I'm of course very welcome to ...

SharePoint 2010 - Incorrect layout of standard controls to upgrade

The problem

After the upgrade of a SharePoint application from 2007 to 2010, some default SharePoint Controls not displayed correctly. As an example, the PeoplePicker Control :




As can be seen clearly on the one hand does not the font is missing and also the frame. A look at the IE Developer Toolbar or the source of the generated HTML code reveals that the default SharePoint CSS class forms.css is not referenced:





The solution

In SharePoint 2010, the forms.css involved appear explicitly in your own page layouts. In my case I have to the Default Master Page made:
< SharePoint : name CssRegistration ID = "form style sheet registration" = "forms.css" runat = "server" />


The CSSRegistration Control SharePoint gets the language-specific CSS file from the layouts folder automatically:




The result

A correct layout :

Please think of Rita!

Dear blog readers,

this time I am writing to you because of a heart issue. Actually it is much more than that many of you have in the past few months of Rita (the shoes in the video by the way they paid with their own money) read, heard or knows them photos from my blog.

I have recently learned that she is seriously ill. I would like to take this opportunity to not go into much detail, but it is a very serious illness. Now a (perhaps unusual) request to you: Can you take you in the coming days, a few seconds or even more time to think of Rita? You include in your prayers? Or let her "come" in a different way of positive energy?

Although I now tend not to the spiritual power of such collective "solidarity" believed, I now believe in one thing: It's definitely better to pay someone a positive thought than simply helpless and perplexed the to let time pass.

And who knows, maybe it will help a bit! An attempt is always worth it!

Thank you for understanding that I use this blog for this cause. Many of you will understand but can ensure that Rita is a very important part of my project "Extreme-couch-hopping" and life.


have this occasion I also decided to publish the first three paragraphs from my book here - after Rita has played in launching a major role

"Rio de Janeiro, in December - a trip around the world also. however one thing that I had been underestimated. But that's over now.

I'm lying on a futon on the floor in an apartment in Barra da Tijuca, a district of Rio de Janeiro, as I notice the light that makes its way through the half-closed curtains. I blink, look at short, take my hand in Clock. 9 clock in the morning. A long night is behind me. There were many long nights in the past 78 days, but this time I wake up not alone on.

Every city has a tick. Any character that exists in no other city, someone has written. If that is so ever, I believe it is their people. Sometimes this city reminds one only of those. You get the feeling, the smell in the streets here as there, the people in Paris dress kinda like in Auckland and somehow all have the same nose as in the Bahamas. When I on my last leg in Rio opens the door, my hostess, I am puzzled: Rita could be confused with anyone, that was certainly "



way. The book I would like to publish early next year, we are working currently. a possible manifestation of. A publisher is found. that later on this more. In addition, I report soon about my new role in Berlin.

However, this contribution now is Rita. Although they will not read these lines probably wish I told her all the strength to defeat the disease. My thoughts are always with her ...

Windows Mobile 7 - Small Mindmap to overview

I want to deal in the near future with the development of Windows Mobile 7, I created a small mind map with the (for me) most important facts. Because of the many innovations it was not easy to filter out for a brief overview of relevant information.

Psd In Varicose Veins

(Do not) Fly Emirates?

Some readers will assume now that I want to make my displeasure with these lines of an airline air. It is true but not the heart of the matter. Let me say this: The following passages are a lesson of why you should really take ALWAYS the fine print in contracts concluded under very close scrutiny. Otherwise, you happen what happened to me recently in Bangkok: The unexpected deep reach into the purse.

What happened? The first time for a very long time, I am the "Star Alliance" untrue. The reason: In my recent return from Brazil, there were problems with my luggage. Lufthansa transported me though (belatedly) to Germany, but my bags were first on the track. can happen. After three days, a courier brought the missing luggage and the shock was great. My backpack was very dirty. can happen. The big bags are torn off the feet and the skin was worn. That can happen . We note in writing of the damage on the receipt of the courier, who in the words "reports the Lufthansa then at you because of the compensation" adopted . I would probably still on a corresponding call waiting, if I had not been reported after less than a week at times polite, the service hotline. The friendly voice on the phone told me that I probably should not hope for any compensation because I was supposedly reported a day late. I should your written report by mail. Said and done.

answer came. Friendly - but not quickly, but more than four weeks later:
"Dear Mr. Hopkins, thank you for your patience
since your messages of 26 and 27 July 2010. For the long processing time, we ask you to apologize. We regret that your baggage to your flight on 13 could take in July 2010 only belatedly received. For you for this inconvenience, we ask you to formally apologize.

If you also had to determine damage to your case, this is very unpleasant. The question of liability for baggage is governed by law. We are liable as carrier if we are proven liable for the damage. Only the immediate written notification to the airline on the day of receipt of the luggage is acceptable. A message for the employee of the delivery company is not sufficient. According to our records, we also need the part of the delivery company of notification for damage before. (...)"

What can I say? I initially thought that it was a bad joke. But a letter from the attorney procured a positive decision. So I decided to travel to Thailand not with Lufthansa, but instead to take the Emirates . Granted, the ticket of the Arab airline, was also significantly cheaper. If I had only more accurate but the travel conditions studied. I would not so much annoyed over the alleged lack of readiness for policy at the Emirates. More on that.

As reported here , I had the bad luck that I had an accident at the start in Thailand. No question, I had to return home earlier than planned. My host put me on this at the airport in Bangkok, where I lectured at the service counter with obvious wounds on the face, neck brace and a number of medical documents my concerns. The friendly staff member said that a transfer is certainly not a problem. In my case, she could imagine that the airline would rise because of the accident no cost. But she had the operation to 'headquarters in Frankfurt " send which would then decide. She would call me then. She did a few hours later. The News that I had to pay almost 270 € for the transfer because I have a special ticket, in which the "goodwill factor" do not grasp. Only my pain reminded me that I am in reality and are not dreaming. She had actually said and thus began an odyssey through the service departments of the Emirates. An over 20-minute - and therefore very expensive - call to the Emirates phone hotline in Germany was unsuccessful. They wanted me to confirm anything from the conversation by e-mail, "runs everything with us over the phone" , so the information. However, I was able to persistent questions by e-mail customer service to find out. I have described my situation and was quite quick answer:

"Dear Mr. Hopkins,
thank you for your email. We understand your current situation, however, you purchased a ticket, which is subject to restrictions, and you had accepted with final completion. These restrictions, among other things include non-open return of the ticket. Below is an extract of these restrictions:

PENALTIES

CHANGES

ANY TIME CHANGES NOT PERMITTED IN CASE
OF REISSUE / REVALIDATION.
waived FOR DEATH OF PASSENGER OR FAMILY MEMBER.


can be the ticket for any booking changes enumerate only to a higher open return fare. Unfortunately, this change fees actually at EUR270.
We regret very much that we can make for you in this unpleasant situation here is no exception. "


Well, my only regret is that I once again was sloppy and had not read the fine print. Anyway, I have the matter over with a "wink" completed for me and sent a final message to Emirates: "(...) thank you for your (albeit regrettably very unsatisfactory) response. I will now throw not safe from a car to as "dead" a Ausnahmegnehmigung to obtain. (...)"

Well, I have learned from the incident in any case a lot of lessons. Sun "goodwill" is a very elastic term. Most important, however, Daniel, ALWAYS read the fine print. In that sense, I make myself even now on his way to visit an apartment in Berlin. I will write about later by the small print in the lease. Oh yes, I was in Berlin! What Daniel does there at all? Also follow the latest news about this soon ... ;-)

Ritetemp Thermostat Manual

only an intermediate level ...

This time I'll spare you the sight of a pictures of me. However, I have reverted to "old forms", apart from the still fresh scar on his forehead. I had recently promised that I report on my recent couch surfing experience. Well, actually there's not much to tell.

After it for me, even for health reasons was no reason in and day out still remains in the north to kill the time and day out in an apartment and not have the opportunity to have a longer trip, I moved to Bangkok. The Plan: Book of here as soon as possible for an earlier flight back home. More on that later. At first I had considered myself to look for a cheap hotel for a few days, but something inside me screamed for a new couch surfing experience. I was looking

me out in advance so the internet a few candidates, and hoped for an answer. Been signed by five couch surfers are reported only one: Eve. The pretty stewardess had been able to collect as many experiences and have not heard recently from her boyfriend on the Internet platform couchsurfing.org . "A great idea that I wanted to try that too," she told me over the phone. However, they warned me that it was a week professionally to move all day and can get very little care of me. No problem, I said. I had to recuperate a little bit anyway, and it lacks even the power for bigger trips.

But actually it turned out the that I got from Wednesday to Monday morning only to face a full five minutes. She had taken a second home near their workplace with her boyfriend - so I have the least understood. I was in her - admittedly, very nice - set in a beautiful apartment condominium facility with me alone. Unfortunately, the Internet functioned not as good as I had hoped. Could not even work properly. When Couchsurfing it is my opinion not only a good guest to be, you should host at least a little time for such a "project" with you. I was too polite to say it to Eve on the phone directly. Instead, I told her I was in the vicinity of Khao San Road have found a cheap guest house with internet access. It was for my work and future planning more convenient for me. She apologized still nice that they had no time. That was it.

Dear friends, if you want to couch surfing, then makes sure that your host "sacrifice" a little time you can. Otherwise makes the whole project in my view makes little sense. Where there remain cultural exchanges, discussions, common typical meals?

I therefore a suitable air-conditioned rooms have found. Klein, not to say tiny, but it serves my purposes. From here, I dedicate myself mainly of correspondence with the airline, to represent my situation. However, insisting on the transfer of the high costs - ".! Accident or not is in this case there is no grace", I had these days on several occasions to listen. But on this issue I will report in more detail once I've re-enter their home ground. In the remaining time I was looking in the shops a few things for Rita's birthday. Not so easy. And I feasted on the Thai cuisine. Fried bananas are with me here, especially at a premium. In addition, I prepare myself well before my new job officially on for me first November starts (more about that in a later post).

Today I'm going to my camera take in hand (which was here until now very little used), and perhaps put one or the other interesting subject. Let's see what offers itself to me so. Anyway, I'm

been here all on my own. And I think this will change in the coming days until my departure any more. I have two days time the evening married to the Khao San Road, but honestly, this is not my world. At each corner is approached by young girls, or so-called ladyboys looking for quick sex with male tourists. Or of young men who want to make one a very good offer for a hotel or a nightclub. People like me learn very quickly here, friendly but to issue rejections.

Finally I go into a kind of pub, sit down at a table and watch the road. And I drink a bottle of beer. But the longer I sit there, the more I notice the other guests. Many German (or at least western European) men, much older than 50 or 60 years old, actually holding all of them with a strong beer belly and either women or young boys in her arms. My bottle is half full. I let them stand and draw me back to my tiny room. There, the world seems to be still in order. Somehow ...

In this sense, see you soon ...

And for the english readers (sorry, is automaticly translated by google - I had less time this morning ;-)):

Why Isnt Bigfoot On Monster Jam ?

book: Test Private Methods "Masterminds of Programming

look outside the box!

Those were my thoughts when I ordered this book. Except a few in the vocational school trip to Java and C I program mainly in C # NET environment -. So one reason to look outside the box once to see what else is there and why it exists.



In the book "Masterminds of Programming" is all about, the inventors of various programming languages in Form of interviews to pierce with questions:

  • For whatever reason they have created a new language to life?
  • see Where the future of this language?
  • What makes the development of a programming language by developing a software?
These are typical questions as to each inventor made. It is interesting that not every language is used for the reasons of which it has emerged.
the book is recommended especially also because the authors are familiar with the different languages and are the inventors of each targeted questions. This brings Diverse and interesting answers with them.

The following languages are covered:
  • C + + ( Bjarne Stroustrup )
  • Python ( Guido von Rossum )
  • APL ( Adin D. Falkoff )
  • Forth ( Charles D. Moore )
  • Basic ( Thomas E. Kurtz )
  • AWK ( Alfred Aho, Peter Weinberger and Brian Kernighan )
  • LUA ( Luiz Henrique de Figueiredo, Roberto Ierusalimschy )
  • Haskell ( Simon Peyton Jones, Paul Hudak, Philip Wadler, John Hughes )
  • ML ( Robin Milner )
  • SQL ( Don Chamberlin )
  • Objective-C ( Brad Cox, Tom Love )
  • Java ( James Gosling )
  • C# ( Anders Hejlsberg )
  • UML ( Ivar Jacobson, James Rumbaugh, Grady Booch )
  • Perl ( Larry Wall )
  • Postscript ( Charles Geschke, John Warnock )
  • Eiffel ( Bertrand Meyer )
Conclusion:
This book expands the horizon of a software developer! It not only shows that popular programming languages exist, but also for what reasons and with what objectives.

Can I Frame A Puzzle In A Normal Frame?

"nightmare in Thailand" - "Nightmare in Thailand"

This time written in two languages:

Here I sit. Late at night. I look out the window of an apartment in the 22nd Floor of a building in Bangkok and hope that my rib pain quickly disappears. In recent weeks, but nothing really went as I had hoped. And I'm flew to Thailand to complete the book on my couch Hopper trip. To finally draw a final line under the project. But I can not write a page. Instead, "rest periods" and other "disappointment". But there are also good news. I'm beginning but once again all over again ...

So it has not worked out as I had hoped in Brazil. I simply the market for public relations experts in Rio de Janeiro overestimated. The acquisition was very slow, plus I've always supported Rita in their projects. Finally I pulled the ripcord and decided to fly back to Germany. To take care of my customers there to strive for new goals, spend more time with my son. No question, the departure from Rio was very difficult. Rita is still part of my everyday life, has a special place in my heart. However, the focus of my daily life is mainly on my career. To what has filled me in recent years repeatedly with success: the feeling of really needed to be and feel professional respect. In fact, it now looks so that I will devote myself from no later than November new level responsibilities. The only question is in which city. If there is a final decision because I share them to you at this point with you. In any case, an eventful future waiting for me.

But should I go first with my current, rather miserable, able to grapple. I have therefore decided to fly to Thailand. It should be finished my book, so I can then fall with "free mind" in my new role. Well, as it looks, I probably still got to complete as a hobby project plan for the workday. As the publisher but with decision leaves much too much time (now is four months past), I have decided to publish the necessary lines in the self-publishing. Lo and behold, it hardly a day that I live with this new decision, as I flutter in a short period of two e-mails from publishers in the mailbox. See my project exciting and asking "politely" if I had already found a publisher. Well, who have now read my sample and I'm expecting a few days. But there is nothing that prevents me from writing.

What keeps me from writing, I call today the "nightmare of Thailand". I come On the first day in Thailand and become kind of an old friend (he had taken me as a loyal blog readers already in the past year as host) being received. It's late in the evening. Almost overnight. His wife, he and I drink in the hotel lobby or a drink before we leave in the night. Where can I get even, unfortunately, not as it is not clear whether the dogs call me as friendly as the hosts welcome.

The next day we continue to have an apartment in which I will mainly work for the next almost 5 weeks. A very nice room, with all the amenities: air conditioning, refrigerator, balcony, hot showers, and, and, and. I'm really looking forward to the visit. In the evening, however, makes the unknowable hoped. With my rented bike I'm going to the proximity to a kind of karaoke bar. I'm meeting a lot of nice people. Among other things, a thai student who speaks excellent English. We can approach the evening calm. Over a long period it is enough for just two beers. I say goodbye to the round and get on your bike. That's the last thing I can remember. I wake up until hours later in hospital again. Severe pain. Later I learn that the police found me. I was front and unconscious at high speed against a Wall down. The bike was out of the helmet split into its component parts. I suffered some "small" fractures of the skull and laceration on my forehead and the head had to be sewn with seven stitches. In addition, physicians would miss me a neck brace. You might just call a spade times: by the time I was completely in the A. ...!

My plans are out. The golf I can remember. It initially followed twelve days, I mostly lying in the hospital and later spend in my apartment. But I've had bad luck in the same apartment complex, live police officers, who take care of my business and my landlady again And answer questions. So I have found, for example, found that it can be very good that you gave me secretly in the bar poured drugged the drink and I'm only just disappeared earlier than expected. It was not the first time was that an alien has been deprived in this way its travel budget. But this scenario remains a guess, no one can prove it. So I must continue to assume a tragic accident. Perhaps the diplomatic way to avoid further trouble.

Well, my head has now cured, only a few scratches and a very light blue eyes are still visible. Only the best in cracking ribs give me in between some worries. Good thing I have a large selection of pain medications on hand. Thailand's pharmacies was simple thanks. And I am no longer in the northern part of the country, but in Bangkok. Here I am preparing to speak before my trip home and already working on new ideas. Tomorrow I'll probably can again begin to write longer texts. The book will grow so voraussichtlcih from tomorrow ... In Come

I am again this time with a couch surfer. For this purpose, but more in a later post. About my Facebook page I try to keep my friends and acquaintances as possible in real-time updates. Which is not always that easy, because the Internet connection is unfortunately not so reliable. But I can manage.

I close now time to this article. In my next article I report on the organization of the home. Whether the airline umbucht me easily on an earlier flight. And on further meetings here in the land of smiles.

best regards from Bangkok,
Daniel

This time the words in English for foreign readers (please excuse the mistakes, I wrote it very fast):

Here I sit. Late at night. I look out the window of an apartment on the 22nd floor of a building in Bangkok and hope that my rib pain quickly disappears. The last weeks nothing really went as I had hoped. And I flew to Thailand to complete the book on my couch Hopper trip! To finally draw a final line under the project. But I can not write a page. Instead, "rest periods" and other "disappointments". But there are also good news. I'm beginning but once again first I start with the beginning...

So it has not worked out as I had hoped in Brazil. I simply overestimated the market for public relations experts in Rio de Janeiro. The acquisition was very slow, plus I've supported Rita in their projects. Finally I pulled the ripcord and decided to fly back to Germany. To take care of my customers in Germany, to strive for new goals, spend more time with my son. No question, the departure from Rio was very difficult. Rita is still part of my everyday life, has a special place in my heart. However, the focus of my daily life is mainly on my career. To what has filled me in recent years repeatedly with success: the feeling of being really needed and the sense of professional esteem. In fact, it now looks so that I will devote myself from no later than November new level responsibilities. The only question is in which city. If there is a final decision, I'll share them with you at this point. In any case, an eventful future is waiting for me.

Nevertheless, should I go first with my current, rather miserable, situation. I have therefore decided to fly to Thailand: It should be finished my book, so I can then start with "free mind" into my new role. Well, it looks like I have to complete the well for a plan but as a hobby project for the celebration evening. The publisher needs too much time with his decision (now four months past), I have decided to publish the necessary lines in the self-publishing. It is hardly a day that I live with this new decision, as I received in a short period two e-mails from publishers. They know about my project and were asking "politely" if I had already found a publisher. Well, now they read my sample and I'll wait a few days. But there is nothing that prevents me from writing.

What keeps me away from writing, I call today the "nightmare in Thailand". I arrived on the first day in Thailand and was kindly welcomed by an old friend (he had taken me as a loyal blog readers already in the past year as host). It's late in the evening. Almost overnight. His wife, him and me just had a quick drink and then said good night. I couldn't stay at theirs place, because unfortunately it was not clear whether the dogs call me as friendly as the hosts welcome.

The next day we continue to have an apartment in which I will mainly work for the next almost 5 weeks. A very nice room, with all the amenities: air conditioning, refrigerator, balcony, hot shower, and, and, and. I'm really looking forward to this visit.

Japanese Rape In The Bus

Review Lake # Party



Now it is just over a week ago that the lake # party was on in Kreuzlingen - highest Time for a Review!

Location:
The Sports and Cultural Center in Kreuzlingen tricorn is only a short walk from the station Kreuzlingen-port, making it ideal to reach by public transport. The center itself offered enough space for sessions, meals, entrance etc.

Sessions:
The sessions have convinced me of the keynote to the raffle. The keynote of Golo Roden with the theme "ALT.NET" provided an ideal Started with further sessions, which are employed in part, of course, with the same subject. Unfortunately, very interesting lectures were in the agenda, which were held parallel. Thus it took before each session a difficult decision.

Organization:
was in the organization is in my view, nothing to complain about - the agenda was met, everyone got something to eat and we even arranged almost exactly to any person a prize at the raffle at the end ;-)

Food:
coffee, croissants, cakes, fruit ... and I could list more. At the snacks in between there was absolutely not with me and lunch tasted good.

Price:
One might also ask for double or triple the price, the price / performance ratio would still be true - there is not more to say!

Conclusion:
Microsoft could still cut a piece of Seesharppartykuchen, compared to the Tech Days 2010, this event was worlds better. I would be happy to create in the future, a calendar entry with the name "See # party to.
Long story short: Highly Recommended, keep it up!

Scorpio Man Ignores Me

Döner kebab is not the same

My first "bed hoppers" experience by month, of course, deserves a brief review here. Not least because it was once again a big surprise for me. or how to maintain the Palatine say "Bärmesens" - -

I am so devious to Pirmasens. An important professional appointment was on my agenda. But this time I'm in the ramp is not looking for a hotel for my accommodation, but for like-minded people who would accept me for two nights with him.

Well, given the relatively small size of Pirmasens (40,000 inhabitants) and the less privileged location of the town, was the list of the couch surfers on the platform of couchsurfing.org possible short. But I was lucky: Sarah and Steffen responded to my request. I was her first couch surfers, "who else comes after Pirmasens," they write. Moreover, "we try to in a High German, we have our own dialect in Pirmasens so that someone else is not so easy to understand." I can only confirm.

The two are so nice and get me for my nine-hour train ride in the evening. We now have a good Wire to each other. And as I consider it a matter of courtesy, keep to show gratitude for the hospitality, I invite both one right after I arrived for dinner. Steffen and Sarah go with me to "Forsthaus Beckenhof" , which is idyllically situated in the heart of the Palatinate Forest. Well, about the quality of the food can be contentious. I'm tired now.

Later, it is a serious difference to my last project. For the two nights in Pirmasens me as a guest room. Although the two have a couch, but this time I do not need to insist on return on this. For me, a very unusual bed hopping. ;-)

The next morning starts early at seven clock. I leave with both the house and have breakfast "classic" at a known fast-food chain. Since there is finally one hour free internet access. An argument that draws me. Since my appointment will take place but only by 13 clock, I used the time to stroll through the rainy Pirmasens. Was done quickly and before I here on individual "sights" reports, I recommend reading the rather Wikipedia entry about the small town .

evening but then the cracker! I have a craving for a kebab. We left on to "Ibo's Grill Room". From the first look at the menu I have to trim. "Ibo" offers there a "vegetarian kebab" in Well, I should but sometimes explain a how work is to remember:.. Originally kebab was just mutton or lamb meat used today - at least outside of Turkey - veal or beef and poultry such as turkey or chicken usual. In "Ibo" is not a lamb. Only chicken and (here it comes) PIG! I gasp, I can not but believe that I'm in the Turkish Restaurant and a Gyros spit rigid. I am so surprised that I only sometimes alternately incredulous look on the map and the tables. "Are you serious," I ask the man behind the counter, which obviously is of oriental origin. ? The doner is in fact a gyro "He says:" Our kebab is made from chicken, but the gyro I also tastes very good! "I have to laugh. Can not believe at this moment, what I see with my own eyes.

Steffen and Sarah show up surprised at my reaction. "All the kebab here in the region offer pork. This is normal here. "No, normal is not it! And I explain both that in Osnabrück certainly search in vain for a Turk, who will sell them gyros. Nevertheless, I begin to have doubts. Is there actually more hotdog vendors in the Republic to break with their religious rules and traditions, as I have ever dared to dream? I promised Steffen and Sarah, make this a question about this publicly: there with you in the region such Turkish restaurants?

If not, then drive to "Bärmesens. Gyros has tasted the very least!

Dentitex Toothbrush Heads

My mustard on

Golo Roden added "test private methods" a journal written on the subject. This conclusion is particularly me the following notice:

conclusion can yet be said that the problem of testing private developers primarily code is concerned, do not proceed to the TDD . This is not surprising, as TDD-savvy developers to write the test first, and only then the code: Private code can thus only by refactoring of already existing and tested code arise.
I develop for a few months himself with TDD (a comprehensive review and how my life has changed by developers in a subsequent post) and am of the opinion that so does the problem with to test private methods automatically. For me this result to 99% for the refactoring step, plus a small example:

is to implement a method that returns me via people ID the full name of a person.

Step 1: Test method


Step 2: Implementation


Step 3: Refactoring






As you can see here, are the private methods developed during the refactoring and now mitgetestet automatically.
I am aware that in this example, the private methods are a bit exaggerated perhaps, I could access it directly in the GetFullName method of the repository on the first and last name. But I wanted to prove that TDD leads to cleaner architecture and private methods are automatically mitgetestet ;-)
