Well although it would cause me much pain to regale you all with my tale of woe upon mistakenly entering the first class section of the Deutschebahn, I will refrain from doing that. Instead I have decided to impart some of my worldly cooking wisdom (if I may call it such) and give another installment of foodage. Read More
Hey everybody. So I know, I haven’t updated in a while. This is due to 2 things. The first, nothing traumatic (well, not *too* traumatic) has happenned in the last week or so. The second is I have been ridiculously busy preparing my seminar. This, I could get around by posting about math. But to really be useful for my preparation I would have to be faithful to the spirit of the talk. And not only is the target audience professional mathematicians, and not only are they mathematicians working specifically in the same field that I work in, they comprise some of the absolute best in the world. That’s really why I am here in the first place… so I figured that perhaps writing in that way would be, um, how should I put this, boring enough to be fatal. Confusing enough to be insanity inducing. Perhaps in the future I will write one with a large disclaimer, but please, unless you really are interested, do not read it, lest it drive you from my blog for all eternity. Read More
Ah so yes indeed I was able to get inside last night. Now one of the things I like to do is cook… don’t laugh it’s true. So the question is, what do you do, when you like to cook and are faced with a miniscule completely unknown kitched, and food, where you have no idea what it actually is? Read More
Ahh so I figured my next post would be in one of the following categories:
- Ugi tries to do something, needs to speak German, hilarious consequences (I have plenty of candidate stories for this)
- Ugi explains the rest of the photos and videos on photobucket
I did not think I would ever have any other posts like the first few, about having something incredibly lame happen and somehow surviving. With weird people providing comedic relief…. at least to those who were not fortunate enough to have this happen to them.
Well… this post will be on this exact thing. I mayaswell put this here: LANGUAGE WARNING! Read the rest of this entry »
Well, I don’t have much time at the moment, some other things are happenning (obviously material for a future blog post!) but I will briefly write an epilogue to the night I had in the most recent post, on the adventure with the BVG. Read More
Although I have made some amends with the BVG (Berlin Public Transport, Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe), on my first evening in Berlin we were not friends. Not friendly in the slightest in fact. But before I began that trip I had to somehow make my connection at Frankfurt in zero minutes… a mean feat ;). Read More
So in fact I am at my office in the FU Berlin, and of course there are plenty of stories about my adventures getting to this place… including how the handle of my luggage snapped off while navigating the dangers of the Berlin public transport system, which are few, but when lugging around 40kg of luggage with a broken handle, and having to take 2 buses and 2 trains, without being able to read anything, the dangers become much more apparent.

OK, I promised and so it shall be. I have forgotten my forum password for some reason and the system is blocking my login attempts so this is going to be even more random than originally intended. Read More
As I have recently criticised a hand posted by my blog buddy Mirage, I figured it only fitting that I let him do the same. While I’m at it, since this is on Cake, I figured a Cake update could be a good idea as well. Read More
I figured it was time to write something in the blog. I apologise, I have been trying to keep things up to date. I will write an update (I promise!) sometime soon. In the meantime, here is a rant. Read More
