I see some explicit irony in the fact that a professor cant decide who to pick to hold a presentation about the decision making processes. So since, I don't have internet right now anyway, I might as well make the post-sketch.
So while he is figuring this small issue out I guess I might just as well take care of the blog. I recently started watching the big bang theory. The plot is cheesy, however it's funny enough too watch, despite the horrible laughing-background-noises. I mean seriously, they should at least take the effort and record some new laughter sounds. As a engineer and geek, I also can relate to the issues and brought up topics quite well. Interesting enough though - I often feel like "nooo this is wrong, physics doesn't work this way!". Also the series causes me to start reading about quantum physics just for the hell of it (also watch Battle star galactica).
Goddammit now they are arguing about the definition of a word that describes decision process classification types. Why did I ask why he calls a photo a descriptive model for decision processes - now I was stuck in a discussion if a photo can be a decision making process model or is a model overall.
Talking about decisions, the series has the mean downside of mocking the engineer for not having a P.H.D. and just being a master, which is sorta offensive towards me (less offensive then the fact that he is a perverted, failing, womanizer due to some reason). I do envy though the friendship that is going on in the series. While, I do have some geeky friends with similar interests, somehow they are either far far away or we never manage to get together, because only some want to hang out with other, know each other or even like each other. Which is sorta sad, the environment shown in the series, is pretty neat.
Aaaand here we go again, "but if we're in Wismar, you cant sell a million of bread chunks, so the formula is a parable". This guy always has to argue during the last minutes of a lecture? Classic, though he's sorta right, the break even point model is overly simplified it cant be ever a linear function and we're not in bachelor anymore to oversimplify things, especially consideri... Oh cool, this guy is playing torchlight 2 in front of me - I really gotta get this game.
I also find it very fitting that the most (IQ-wise) clever character of the series is displayed as a OCDing, crazy something. It seems like sanity is a common price for intelligence, either that or happiness. Crazy enough, this is more of an observation, then a emo-thing, since I can't complain about most things right now. Now I just wish deciding upon a new tablet (I still weep for my old one) would be easier, since I still havnt learned anything about a proper decision making process, since the time was spent on discussions on the decision what criteria is most important for a decision making algorithm...
Oh finally it's over, now I just have to pick where I'm going to eat today...

Romania
Romania is a strange country.
Strange is being used in all of it's contexts and meanings at once. I've yet to see such scatter of both good and bad madness at once in another place.
You might walk down a street in Bucarest, obeserving the different architectures coming from different times and countries next to each other - because Romania battled in a lot of wars and got invaded frequently afterwards - looking at the rich and nice state of mansions there, being built right next to a completly ruined and overgrown house, next to a electricity lampost, with hundreds of tangled elecricity wires, of which half is broken and riped in pieces.
You could see lifesized replicas of famous houses, done out of marble, that are inhabited by hundreds of gypsies who still refusre to pay for power and water (and obviously get none). Also you could spot the same hundred gipsies chasing eight policemen, while being armed with swords and clubs.
The statistics about Romania are also incredibly strange. The country has a very high percentage of incredibly gifted kids, but also a scary high percentage of uh... "less intelligent kids", even the president itself mentioned: "romanian schools produce idiots".
Talking about presidents. During the last vote, the amount of fake votes and the "techniques" employed would make the russian 140% look poor in comparison. Foreigners were allowed to vote: in each city once or mroe. Dead people were being caught voting. etc. etc. Funny thing is that the last vote about if the suspended president should return or not, was ignored, becuase each size had equal ammounts of invalid votes.
Romanians have a very distinct look, (same as most nations), but they also dress a lot more wilder than I'm used to seeing in Germany and even Ukraine, Ireland or other countries. If you think you've seen short shorts, no you havn't. If you think you saw high heels, no you havn't either. And if you think that red green, is too contrastful and colorful, it for sure aint.
The stores offer a variety of interesting things (interestingly, the shirt i liked most, that was hanging all over the window and store, was a "Promotional item" they were not wanting to sell). The streets have more pharmacies and banks then you would ever expect. (you will never ever find a crossing in bucarest that doesnt have at least 5 different banks in sight).
At the seaside (which was awesome btw, including bars, beach and water, but watch your purse!), you might run into a restaurant selling selfcaught fish (yes, with boats, no they dont catch fish with bare hands), which is delicious and very affordable too. However you might get surprised to see that the fish has actually green bones (as in grass-bright green, not just "slightly green"). It'll still be very delicious and most likely you'll be completly consumed by it, until you discover a log hanging from another log on a string, with the caption "Mobile chair".
There is a lot more one could say and quite some more things I will say, but for now I'd prolly just sum it up, that it's a adventure. A nice one too.

Gym
Finally dragged my lazy ass to the gym and got a new subscription.
A trainer suggested to work out a good plan for me, so after taking some data it turned out:
Apparently I'm:
Overly underwatered - my body is only 40% water, while 55-60% is normal
Hypertonic - 130-140 blood pressure is normal for me, also my heartbeat is too strong
Hyperstatic - My chest area+back+shoulders is overly strong in comparison to my arms
Too "mobile" - aka weirdly flexible and stretchy
Also have like the lowest alcohol and coffein comsumption they saw in data since ages...
oO, now i feel like im sick - /goes to grab a beer

(Lack of) Purpose
This blog, was allways aiming at targeting very specific audience (more like a single person). Still, asuming that due to whatever circumstances, you - improbable, yet theoretically possible and unknown to me reader found this site, here are the" highlights" of this strange place.
1) Time planing purposes. I'm just going to blog down whatever plans and progress on my plans I have, since I'm otherwise not exactly capable of making a prioritized timeline... probably still wont be.
2) Casual selfdiscussions on various topics, involving long range relationships, friendship, silence and selfcensoring and other topics, you usually avoid reading about.
3) Progress of a mediocre programmer on a project most people would call a chanceless timewaste...
4) A bit of typical comments on (online) gaming, movies and books.
5) Gibberish and typos en mass
