Hamburg – Pick Up My Car

Sunday, my mother and I took the night train to Hamburg and next morning we had a transfer to Bremerhaven. There I had to deal with the plates and the insurance for the car. Due to good preparation in advance it took only few minutes to get a 5-day-pass. With plates and insurance we headed to the freighting company, where I picked up my car. Unfortunately, it has one scratch, which hopefully can be polished. It was amazing how many cars every week get imported. This week around 20 ships arrived. In summer it was 180. Unbelievable how many took advantage of the good exchange rate. After the process we stopped in the city centre of Bremerhaven to have a "Frigatellen-Brötchen", which is comparable with a burger. It is really delicious! With a full belly we could start our journey back to Hamburg.

We arrived at our Hotel around 6 o clocks in the evening – we stayed at the Marriott in the middle of the city – Thanks to Alex! After quick shower and relaxing, we started to look for a dinning place. After endless walking, I asked for a restaurant and we were lucky. We were recommended a great place with typical local food. I had "Labskaus" and my mum had some fish with mustard. After some drinks at the hotel bar, we fell in our beds for a long nice sleep.

On the next day, we started our hardcore sightseeing-tour with a harbor-tour by boot and afterwards a tour with a bus. This compared with a lot of walking in between made us hungry and tired – the question is when I am not hungry?! ;-) We really enjoyed the city, because the sun was shining but it was chilly. I don't want to mention all the details about the city, because I think it is more about the atmosphere, which makes it so impressive. Of course I have to mention the "Reeperbahn" as one of the most famous party miles on earth, but as it was Tuesday and freezing it was not much going on there. The clean and shiny streets, fleets and bridges make Hamburg one of my favorite cities. On Wednesday we visited the museum for local history, which showed us the development of the city. Our last point on the sightseeing list was a Russian submarine.

At 8 pm, I had to drive my car to the train to get it transported in the rear of it. My mum and I had it comfortable in the front in a nice bed. Yes, you are right. One moment I was thinking of staying in my car, but with freezing temperature it was an easy decision. :-D

Google Sync


Microsoft has Exchange Server and Apple has it's Mobile Me. Both are great applications to sync wireless your calendar, contacts and mails with your account. Both are pretty expensive and not worth to pay for it as long as you don't have a business or a company pays it for you! Now my favorite company came up with something for free.This is the reason why I love this company so much!

iPhone Firmware 2.2.1 is out

For everybody with an iPhone, 3G or 2G, since few days, the firmware update 2.2.1 is out. It is just a small update to solve some bugfixes and stability of Safari.

Small Guide for jailbroken iPhones. If you still want to use your inofficial Apps like I do, I can recommand you this guide.

1)download "APT Backup" on Cydia - it is a small App which saves the downloaded Apps from Cydia in a directory, where iTunes syncs it on your computer. That means, that all your programms can be installed after a restore or update easy by clicking restore in "APT Backup". So basically you just have to install this app. So install it and run backup.

2) sync with iTunes

3) after successful sync, you can use the update button to install the update. Everything should stay like it is, except the inofficial apps and cydia, and take approximately 5 min.

4) Now you can run this app, which puts Cydia on your iPhone. Here is a link: QuickPwn for Win

5) Install "APT Backup" on Cydia and run restore to get your apps back!

Good Luck with it! and enjoy your precious!

(This guide is for everybody with an Iphone from an official provider or OTB unlocked)

Never Eat @Schloss Hartberg - Gschü

Two weeks ago, Laky, Madlene, Nadine and me had a dinner at castle Hartberg (Schloss Hartberg). It is a nice restaurant with traditional styrian food, which is run by the family Gschiel. It was my forth time, I think, for me to have the delicious food, but finally it will be the last visit ever. I knew before that the female boss, who does the service tend to be drunk and do not behave like a waiter should behave, but the food was always good and if you don't have anything to do this day, it was always worth to wait. But after this Tuesday it was enough! She was really unpolite and never stopped by. She always treated us like dumm people and we felt like not being welcome! Another couple had the same feeling like us and paid after the appertizer, because the female boss didn't come to pick up the dishes. They did the right thing, which we were planning to but finally we received our food without long waiting time, but never received more water. Moreover we were charged for tape water eventhough we had a bottle of wine! I am also sure that she charged us more for the samon. My baked eggs were salty and I got a bad rude answer from Miss Gschiel!

I really can tell you! It is not worth to go there! Food is good, but the owner will destroy your dinner with their drunkiness and rudeness!!!

Save your money and cook something on your own!!!

Best Regards

Games & Beer

Last four days were full with beer and fun. All started with Mondays work out with Uli at Hotel Paierl in Bad Waltersdorf. Afterwards, we headed towards Gleisdorf on a snowy highway. We started with Hefeweizen beer right away and stopped drinking close to midnight.

Tuesday evening I continued with some Ottakringer during the game-session with Fiedi, Hubert & Andy. We played Puerto Rico and we had to give Andy two victories, because he still had toothache from his surgery earlier this day. ;-) I was not pleased with my performance - once last spot and a good second place! Next time I definetely will do better!

Yesterday, I had an interview with Prof. Eschenbach, who will take care of my final thesis. My topic will be "St. Gallener Strategiekonzepte von Ulrich bis Malik". Before I started to read, I had to drink more beer with Gong and Bendesch @Stylez. And after arriving in OW, you can image what I did @Hooters with the guys - of course some more beer!!! :-D So, a lot of beer these days.

Today, it's time to do some sport!

I will now head out for running! Remember the scenic running track in NPB.

English is a nice language

Yesterday was a good day. First I received information about my tax laws classes, where I had the exam beginning of January. I successfully passed the exam and still have the chance of getting an average. The other good thing was my management control exam. It took longer than 2 hours and I have a good feeling about the result. Now I have one week off - J. Next Wednesday I will meet Prof. Eschenbach for a first interview about my final thesis. In February I also have my last classes. From 9th till 12th I will take the logistic classes BLP 2 in only one week. That’s really fast! It is during the “Winter Uni”, which is for students who are really ambitions or need to catch up with the curriculum. I don’t know to which group I belong, but I rather take the course in one week and have everything done…

At latest, you have wondered why I changed my language to English, but I felt like all my friends at home except my family is not paying attention to my blog anymore, because they are in touch with me over the phone or meeting with me face to face. So now I changed my mind and want to address my friends all over the world.

So I say hello to everybody all over the world!

Der Onkel frisst sich durch die Präsentationen

s
Da ich zur Zeit auf Job/Praktikum Suche bin, besuche ich fleißig die Recruiting Events des zBp's. Gestern stand Roland Berger Strategy Consultans am Programm. Die Präsentationen sind nicht nur reine Recruiting Events, es werden auch aktuelle Themen diskutiert und man lernt die Mitarbeiter des Wiener Büros besser kennen. Nach jedem Event gibt es ein Buffet mit Brötchen und Getränken. Alles im Allen ist es ein interessanter Abend. Es war meine 3. Veranstaltung die ich besucht habe, und immer taucht dieser Onkel auf. Er ist mir schon letzten Juni aufgefallen, wo er sich mit Brötchen vollgestopft hatte, damals bei Shell. Letzten 2 Wochen war er wieder anwesend und hat geschaufelt was das Zeug hält. Aber er sticht nicht nur durch seine Ess-Qualitäten heraus, sondern auch durch seine dummen Fragen während der Präsentation. Auf die Aussage von Booz&Company Mitarbeiter über die enge Kundenbeziehung, fragte er ob sie die telefonisch erzeugen?! Wir haben uns totgelacht!

Bine hat Beckham! Ist ja nix! Er ist der wahre ONKEL!!! (Es ist der Typ rechts neben dem "Sträfling")

Prison Break discontinued after season 4

Alles hat mit Season 1 angefangen und hätte dann auch enden sollen. Mit Prison Break ist US Sender Fox ein Meisterwerk gelungen. Jedoch hat die Serie von Staffel zu Staffel an Reiz verloren. Daher war es nur mehr eine Frage der Zeit, wann sie eingestellt wird. Nun ist es offiziel. Nach Season 4 wird es keinen Michael Scofield mehr geben... Es lebe Season 1

iPhone 3G & Jailbreak - Must Have Apps




Ich bin der totale iPhone-Fan. Was ja die Mehrheit von euch wissen. Seit kurzem bin ich auf das iPhone 3G umgestiegen. Zuerst wollte ich ja nicht, weil laut diversen Foren keine wesentlichen Verbesserungen vorgenommen wurden, jeodch stimmt das nur zum Teil. Das Gerät selbst schaut ja ziemlich ähnlich dem alten, wobei mir das alte mit der Alu-Schale viel besser gefallen hat, jedoch liegt das neue viel besser in der Hand. Ein großer Bonus-Punkt beim 3G ist, dass der Lautsprecher viel besser ist und man problemlos den Gegenüber hören kann. Ob der Empfang besser geworden ist, kann ich leider nicht sagen. Hatte bisher keine Probleme mit Orange, mein neues Netz. Auch wenn ich ein offizielles iPhone mit Orange-Lock habe, werde ich weiterhin den Jailbreak durchführen. Jailbreak heißt, dass man nicht von Apple authorisierte Programme installieren kann. Seit der AppStore einführen, spielen diese Programme, welche über Cydia installiert werden, nicht mehr so große Rolle. Jedoch gibt es ein paar die nennenswert sind. Die möchte ich hier kurz mal vorstellen:

1) BiteSMS
Sieht auf den ersten Blick aus wie das Standard-SMS Programme und wird auch gleich bedient. Jedoch kommt es mit paar Features. Einzelne SMS können nun gelöscht oder weitergeleitet werden. Sehr nützlich wenn man versehentlich an den falschen Adressaten schickt. Desweiteren kann man Kontakte mit Nummer , GoogleMaps Position oder Smileys einfügen. Sehr nett ist auch der Landscape Modus. Auf dieses Programm bin ich in den USA gestolpert, als ich für SMS 20 US ct gezahlt hatte. Hier hilft nämlich das Programm auch. Man kann über Paypal credits kaufen und via Internet (also WiFi) versenden. Dann kostet die SMS nur mehr 6-7 ct in die ganze Welt. Dieses Feature brauch ich jetzt nicht mehr, wo ich 1100 frei SMS pro Monat habe. Dennoch war es in der Vergangenheit sehr hilfreich.

2) IntelliScreen
Ein Programm das diverse Features auf den Lock-Screen holt. Kalendar und neue SMS sowie E-Mails können ohne starten der einzelne Programme rasch gelesen werden. Kostet 10$ und zahlt sich aus, wenn man es von vorigen Handys gewohnt ist, seine Termine sofort zu sehen.

3) Winterboard
Ein Programm um das Summerboard neu zu gestalten. Soll heißen man kann das Aussehen der Icons oder Hintergründe individuell anpassen. Kleine Spielerei also!

4) SBSettings
Ein kleines Programm um rasch auf Flugmodus, WiFi aus oder 3G aus zu gehen. Ein Streichen über der Taskleiste am oberen Rand aktiviert das Programm.

5) GriS
Damit lässt sich der Google Reader Account syncronisieren. Somit bleib ich am iPhone mit all meinen RSS immer uptodate. RSS ist eine Kurznachricht, kann aber auch den kompletten Artikel beinhalten, die von E-Mail Programmen oder Internet-Explorer gesammelt werden kann. Somit muss man nicht mehr auf die einzelnen Seiten gehen um sie auf neue Nachrichten zu überprüfen. Meine Liste an RSS: alle Blog-Einträge, diePresse, Wirtschaftsblatt, iPhone-Homepages,...

Probiert sie aus! Wäre euch dankbar, eure favorite Apps im Kommentar zu posten.
