June 2006

I told you a few days ago that I’ve bought some literature. However, the only thing I’ve read in the last days was a paper about operating systems (170 pages, approximately). I still have to write five tests or so.

As you can see on the left I’ve kept my promise and took some photographs the last few days with the new camera of my parents (Canon Ixus 55). Pretty neat thing, whereas I still wanna buy a DSLR. My semester ends in three weeks, maybe I’m gonna get me a little present.

The photo to the right has been taken with my Powershot A80 through my Tasco telescope (70mm, ~900mm focal length and a 37mm eyepiece, I think).

Of course I knew that Coupland’s newest book would be released here in Europe at the beginning of June. But I forgot it, somehow, completely.
Today I entered my favourite bookshop, had a look at the English books section and, tada, there it was: jPod. No 20 seconds before I bought it and went out of the store to get a coffee and start reading. And I have to say that I’m quite impressed. I’ve been impressed by Microserfs and it’s still one of my favourite books. jPod seems to be similiar, which is great, at least in my opinion.
