It was a surprise for me: Simone moved in this evening. Welcome!

When your mind’s made up

I saw this scene some weeks ago during the Dublin Culture Night and it just came to my mind again. Diesen Beitrag weiterlesen »

Dun Laoghaire

Yesterday, Natalie, Tom, Chris and I took the bus 75 from Tramway Court to Dun Laoughaire. It took ages, but I think it was worth it: the port is beautiful, includes a yacht club (Tom: „St. Tropez in Ireland“) and you have an awesome view on Dublin bay:


Downside: the town itself is rather boring.

First CA in SDEV

Donnerstag, 16. Oktober 2008, 20:08 Uhr von Felix

Yesterday, we had a closed-book CA in the Software Development class. The task was to implement some basic I/O and functions that did some basic calculation with arrays of doubles. Three of the functions were very similar and after half an hour I was basically done – 90 minutes before we had to hand in our source code.

The other seemed to be still working. I read the instructions and specifications on the sheet again. And again. No, everything done. I did not dare to leave that early – a dilemma. Some minutes, which I spent with code clean-up, slight refactoring, documentation, later, I still seemed to be the only one, who was finished. Okay, let’s test, monkey-test. Still about 45 minutes to kill. Hm, boring. I uploaded my work on moodle and left.

Later, I found out that Stefan and Lukas/Klaus had a similar problem. Each of them was finished and did not want to be the only one, who leaves reeeally early, as well. Wasted time. Next time we’ll probably agree on some secret code noise: Diesen Beitrag weiterlesen »

Day Trippin‘

Donnerstag, 16. Oktober 2008, 18:06 Uhr von Felix

The next weeks should be fun: I just signed up for the trip to the North that is organised by the International Cultural Society (InCuSo). We’ll leave Tallaght on the 25th and plan to see Belfast, Bushmill’s Distillery, Giant’s Causeway, Derry and Lough Erne in the following two days.

This coming Saturday, I’ll meet Chris, Tom, his girlfriend Natalie, who’s here for some days and Lukas/Klaus. We’re going to take the bus to Dun Laoghaire (pronounced a bit like „Dun Learie“), which is at the Southern end of Dublin bay, and plan to spend another nice day next to the sea. Maybe we’ll go to Bray, which was praised by my house mate Peter this morning, too.
I hope that the pain in my left knee is gone by then…
