Two Weeks Holidays
Okay. I’m off to Italy for two weeks now. I will be offline most of the time but constantly check my emails, so if there is anything important just mail me. I’m back on Saturday the 25th of August.

Alright. No posts for quite a long time. But just because the blog was pretty dead that doesn’t mean that nothing is happening. In fact I’m working hard on a couple of things I cannot announce yet. Unfortunately my notebook harddisk once again broke which is somewhat annoying. Looks like this summer is more expensive then all the summers before :) Guess my next notebook will be a macbook pro.
Oh. And in the new python documentation (which btw needs your help) you can now comment on keywords on pages too:

Alright. I’m back in Austria and once again my arrival in my home made me feel somewhat patriotic :-) Although we had much fun on the trip it’s a great feeling to come home again. The next weeks will be quite busy because of various changes in my life (the most obvious one is that I’m not a pupil any more)
I was sure that i will be able to use most of my spare time for my projects and myself but as it turned out two days ago the newly gained freedom has some major disadvantages too. There’s quite a lot of legal stuff I have to cope with and new opportunities I have to consider and probably take. In one of my last posts I wrote about myself being offline for two weeks — that’s just partially true. I’m back in Austria but I will be offline because biking from tomorrow.
Other news: I will buy a guitar in the next two weeks, and because my harddisk once again broke in that darn notebook I want to buy a mac book as soon as Leopard is out. Expensive summer.
Finally I’ve made the Matura :D I got a “Guter Erfolg”, I would have got a “Ausgezeichneter Erfolg” if there wasn’t the huge amout of spelling mistakes I made in my written German exam. But I’m happy nevertheless.
Especially the oral Matura was just awesome. Because I wrote a so called “Fachbereitsarbeit” in computer science i had one written exam less than normal. So I only had English, Maths and German as written subjects and Religion, English and computer science as oral subjects. So as you can see darn simple matura, especially because in Austria you can choose one out of two general questions and a special question out of your special subject you worked out the weeks before the Matura.
My topic for the computer science “Fachbereichsarbeit” was security in web applications and apparently my presentation was that impressive that I got some applause which was a very, very cool experience. I had one of the last exams and usually the teachers and the examiner are already so bored that nobody listens to your ten-minute talk. It’s a really cool feeling that you were able to somehow impress the persons in the room.
I still don’t know the final results but I know that I got a “Guter Erfolg” which is the second best result you can get.
Plans for the next two weeks: Off to Ios with friends :-) and relaxing. So basically off from Sunday the first till Friday the 13th :-)
Yesterday I watched fracture with friends and it was stunned. The plan was watching Oceans 13 (which I hopefully will do in the next week) but because one of us promised a colleague to watch it together with him we picked this movie — more or less by chance. The movie was really good in my opinion. The characters are authentic and the story is straightforward but nonetheless astonishing.
