Alumni Party

On Friday (28.03) we had our yearly alumni party. This year again Michi organized it. It was again a very nice evening, even when a lot of people left quite early.

There were about 70 alumni from "Computer and Media Security (CMS)" and "Secure Information Systems (SEC)". At the beginning we saw a presentation about news from our University and our organization, the HagenbergerKreis (Hagenberg Circle).

Nothing really new for me, because I'm still in Action. Yet so far I'm "just" an alumni for CMS and not for SEC. The only really interesting news came from Robert, our boss of those two degree programs. He was not allowed to say much, so I have just a clue what it can be. If it is like I think, it will become big ;)

After the presentation we had a buffet. And spent the rest of the evening with celebrating and talking. I like to see, because it is really interesting, what the other alumni become, in the economy. Such an event is always good for networking, especially at the moment.

For me this evening ended at 5 o'clock in the morning.

Michi can handle the organization of the party, but unfortunately he can't handle his camera *gg*. He made a lot of photos, but the memory card was broken and even recovery didn't help. So there are no photos at the moment, sorry.

Paintball and other kind of painful things

Hey my friends!

Last Saturday some friends and I where playing some Paintball at this field.
It's a really nice field in an old four-edge-farmhouse. They will expand it soon with the inner side of the farmhouse and one part to simulate house-fights.
We were 11 people, some I didn't know, but in war there are no friends anyway ;)

The field has everything you need, from a tunneling-system to a tower, everything there. Our opponents were some kind of campers, so they always hide behind the wall and wait for the others to come. I didn't care, so maybe that was the reason that we lost most of the time. It was really funny and it didn't hurt that much (except next day, but this was the "sport" not the bullets).

Ok, what other painful things.... hmmmm
Actually I over reacted, maybe my master-thesis could be a painful thing *gg*. Or let's say Latex is a painful thing, it will not do what I want it to do. I work now for days to get the document in the shape I want it, but it won't work. Hopefully it will work soon, because I'm already one step behind.

Last Friday there was also open doors day at my university. It was also a nice day, because I like to show people around and the things we do. Most of the time I spent in the biometrics lab, where I showed people how to use iris scan, fingerprint scan and face scan devices. The funny part at the face scan was, we used some pictures of celebrities to compare with our users. The result was sometimes really funny, for example a couple, both compared with Paris Hilton, ... the guy was more Paris Hilton than his girlfriend *ggg*
My result, I do not really look like George Clooney, neither Bill Gates..... ;( *g*

Yeah, I had also a job interview on Friday. But more on that in another entry.
