as i came back after christmas i just couldn't stand the noise of a building side next to my window anymore. so i decided to move house. now i live a bit more up the mountains. from here i enjoy the most beautiful view over the city of barcelona and real quietness.
in order to make you all a bit jealous i put some pictures of my view from the terrasse.
it is not so far away from the city as it seems to be. only 25 min with the metro and i am in the heart of the center.
well i think that's enough showing off for the moment...
and by the way happy new year to all of you

finaly i managed to find the time to put some of my recent essays and works together on my uni-page.
if you're interested... there is not only theoretical stuff but also my first try on 3-d-animation.

not only a great film or a country that won the last wm in football....

the e-mail is 35 today! 35 years, who's thought about that? here some figures:

in 2003 30.000millons of e-mails were sent around the world

each "working person" gets about 21- 50 mails per day
one our per day we spend each day composing and reading our electronic mails, 15 minutes it takes us to delete and sort what we don't wont

orthographical we could do a lot better but don't care

90% have sent mails accidentely to people they don't know

so we have to ask ourselfs if that's where all the spam comes from...

(70% of all mail recieved by thoses "working persons" are spam) and than i ask myself: how old is spam?

(al figures according to 20minutos read in the metro today)

lesen in der metro,

nicht die eigene literatur,
vorzugsweise, die der mitfahrer,
die über-die-schulter-lese technik verwendend.

mischung aus stillem-für-sich-lesen
und fremdbestimmtem lesen,
mit dem vorteil, dass man nicht selbst umblättern,
oder themen wählen muss.

dabei kann man sehr gut über eine
fiktive urbane bestsellerliste sinnieren,
üben schneller in anderen sprachen zu lesen,
leseproben geniessen.

beliebteste lektüren in bcn:
der davinci code
alles von ken follet und isabel allende
umberto eco
klassiker wie der kleine prinz (das lesen vor allem ausländer, die die spanische sprache lernen wollen)
und zeitungen:
el pais, el periodico, metro und 20minutos

football's comming home

ein klassiker, fussball mit beamer, bier und ball (sorry, das 3. wort mit b hat mir einige probleme bereitet :))

yeah, die catalanen haben gewonnen und nicht zu knapp. wer wurde besiegt? na madrid. alle sind nun froh und glücklich, zumindest hier, und wir können uns wieder um die sachen kümmern, die das leben neben fußball noch zu bieten hat. (erst am mittwoch hat spanien gegen england gewonnen, die strengen sich ganz schön an, wenns um fußball geht.)
