New Homeoffice Desks

DSC02591
250 kg heavy, high quality, made in germany, new desks, in my
homeoffice. Now my wife has much more space to fill up with batches
of books and papers.
For myself I enjoy the space and the clean desk, completely
opposite to my desk at work, I love the chaos there.
It’s really amazing how much space is left although all the
techie stuff is already installed (now 3 computers inside).DSC02592

For anyone who wants to take the offer, I bought the desks at
XXXLutz which give a 40% discount at the moment as they called it
birthday-special. When I talk to the salesman he didn’t know
why it’s called birthday-special since it’s always a
birthday-offer all over the year…
Those marketing guys… Winking))
…let’s just call it humu humu nuku nuku…

Finally, all my windows “not Microsoft Winking” are
renewed.

This time the workers did a real good job and also fix all the
remaining problems from my last window(s) de-installation.

Winking Man, I like that windows
de-installation thing Winking

Now, as soon as my budget will allow it, I can start buying my
final furniture. I’m quite happy now, except for the window
cleaning. 8-(

Eye Toy Kinetic

3097747106
Quit your fitness contract, buy Eye Toy Kinetic…

…you’ll get a virtual personal trainer and do various
funny, although exhausting training lessons, three times a
week.

For those of you thinking that they’re fit enough to do a
harder training, you can exercise freestyle.
But I promise you, you’ll sweat like you never did before
Laugh
Even Tai Chi or Meditation lessons, really can be a
challenge.

24inch monitor in full HD resolution from Dell

DSC02446
Now I’m happy with my new 24-inch monitor, which was a very cheap
offer from Dell for only 830 euros.
Thus always longing for a big apple screen, I had no chance to
resist. And the best thing is, it’s full HD capable on my Mac
mini.
And also it has amazing connection possibilities: VGA, DVI, YUV,
SVIDEO, Composite and Picture-in-Picture, Pivot and so on.Simply great, what an awesome investment.

Helicopter Rescue Training

DSC02433
Today, I had the chance to catch eye on helicopter emergency
excercise. At least, I guess that’s what I saw.Again and again, I heard a helicopter noise near the powerstation
next to my home.
So I picked my cam and did some shots, and a short video, but
missing a tripod shooting video on a flying object without any
stabilization looks ugly, so there’s no podcast
available.

The helicopter approached the roof of a building, threw some green
smoker on top, and then began lifting up firemen. Flying one round,
the chopper approached the roof again and the firemen was released
back to the roof.

Maybe he forgot his watch ? Winking
