Patient's MRI experience vs. what it could have been (allthough sequences can sound different quite easily).

Acutally, if someone could perform a FLAIR or EPI, please let me know! THAT would be fun! :)

Visualizing music

All of a sudden, I got interested into classic music (because of goat cheese, but that's a different story). I don't know if this is apparent when you're able to read notes (sadly, I am not), but I really appreciate this visualization:

Bach

Ja, da nimmst du ein Toastvollkornbrötchen und machst des warm. Unten Rucola drauf, Ziegenfrischkäse, dünne Tomatenscheiben. Deckel drauf und reinbeissen! Verliebt bist du da, sag ich dir. VERLIEBT! Des isch europäische Esskultur mit Allem - und vom Feinsten. Ja, da kann so ein dahergetriefter Wabblwecka mit 'ma USA-Fähnle oben drauf net gegen anstinken. Garnet! Des freut einen so, da fängt man schon an, die 9te Sinfonie von Beethoven zu hören. Ohne Drogen. OHNE DROGEN, mein Freund! Des sag ich dir aber! *wildmitdenarmengestikulier

I am a machine.

Slowly but surely I am more and more convinced that I must be a machine. Also is twitter.com. I try to sign up at twitter since days now - using the audio captcha. I am not able to pass it. Even I am able to pass it on the issuing company's site. But not on twitter. But maybe they just have a programming error in their code. Who knows.

Microblogging is for micro thoughts?

Maybe microblogging (twitter) is a solution for staying more in touch with people. Regular blogging just takes too much time because you want to write down many thoughts. But is microblogging suitable for longer thoughts? I really doubt that! Maybe it's just an instrument to waste energy (storing the information and reading it as you follow too many people) and time (the reason is obviously connected to having followers). So to say, microblogging is likely to just increase the world's total information entropy (most times). Maybe this would change if we all started to write stuff down huffman-coded...

I should go to bed. <- I could twitter this information <- and this <- and... ok, enough.

Years of science and finally we are able to play the Tetris Theme on... Tesla Coils. What an achievement :D

Anzügliche Produktnamen

-mcb has added a post:

Es gibt so ein paar Produkte, die haben seltsame Bezeichnungen. Ich glaube, ich sollte mir eine kleine Schachtel ins Regal stellen, in der ich all die lustigen Namen mal sammle.

Lustiges Produkt heute: So ein Plastiknubsie, den man an die Stelle an der Wand klebt, an die sonst die Tür schlägt und eine Macke hinterlässt. Na, wie heisst das laut vom Hersteller aufgebrachter Prägung? Na, na, na?

Die richtige Antwort wäre "Bumsie" gewesen. Und die kleine Schwester von "Bumsie" heisst "Bumsienchen".

Was es nicht alles gibt...

And I do not talk about some damn religious sects here!

I talk about certain convenience food products and their ingredients. It was obvious that "Sausage Goulash with noodles" must taste awful and - oh big wonder! - it DID! Damn advertising gifts of the food industry. Poison that comes in little half plastic half paper and some aluminium foil cups - a chimera of the modern packagin industry.

Oh, THIS is what rubidium looks like with oxygen

2 a.m. and still working.

Preasure test of our optical pumping cell that is filled with helium, nitogen and some xenon and 1 g of fluid / vaporized rubidium.

6 bar of preasure.

A tube breakes.

The rubidium is spilled out of the cell by the 6 bar preasure.

Rubidium gets in contact with the air - and does what normal Rb is supposed to do in this situation (BURN).

Burning yields smoke development.

Smoke development is detected by the in-room smoke detector (yay, who thought that might happen).

Turning off the gas preasure takes some time, then calling the technical site support guys that they sould not react to the fire alarm.

Giving them the fire line number on the phone - and being told that this line is not connected to their central but directly to the fire fighters'.

And being told the alarm cannot be stopped anymore.

A few minutes later having about 3 or 4 fire brigedes and the police in front of our little facility.

Having 3 fire fighters in our little room asking if rubidium is dangerous (well, shouldn't THEY know this better?).

Not having slept that night.

Seeing all important people the next day (our workgroup leader, Company's Medical Officer, Safety Inspector, Radiation Safety Inspector, another Safety Inspector)

Getting home earlier due to lack of concentration and work (not having slept since 30 hours).

Deciding to drive to girlfriend.

Car battery was broken down.

Calling a few guys that could give my car a jump start (Thanks again to Mr. S.)

Recognizing that the on board electronics of my car had one of their bad 5 minutes and having disabled the servo steering (normal way to get around this: tread car like a computer - Have you tried switching it off and on again? ;) )

Not being able to do that due to still uncharged battery leads to a very power consuming unparking maneuver.

Arriving at girlfriend's place a few hours to late but being happy since then :) (not having slept for 36 hours).

Why, how and what

Ipernity visit status

I hate it. Quite a lot people have reported a few months ago, that they only get "anonymous visits". At the moment this also happens to me and I start asking me, if almost anyone has switch on this "privacy feature" of not showing their visits to the pictures they've watched.

I mean, come on, why do you click the pictures at all if you do not want its creator to see you??! Or ist it just hits that come from search engines... really out of IP, so to say?
