Last week I traveled from Brussels (B) to Lille (F) with the TGV. It's maximum speed is 574 km/h. Usually it travells with 320 km/h. Looks pretty cool when everything passes by that fast :) - even you don't feel it

Neusiedlersee - quite close to Vienna and a nice place to spend time on a boat. We enjoyed a very nice weekend next to water. - that gives an unbelievable energypush.

Since January I spent more than 65 percent abroad. Most of the time you can find me in Belgium. Some days ago Astrid and me stayed in Antwerp and Brussels for a weekend. If you're interested in ... you can find some pictures in the gallery.

That's something I wanted to publish since many weeks:
An unbelievable guy wanted to give me a fine 'cause I parked my car as you can see below:

Well you might wonder 'what's the prob?' Me too :)
I came there at the right time and we had a very freaky-funny-heavy discussion with lot's of audience within seconds ... He explained: "The start of 'No parking' depends on the point of view". Bravo, good job, man! I'd like to know what's going on in heads like this ... I never heard such an interesting story! It's always: START => END! The result: I left without a ticket and he stood there like a little child in front of a lot of people shouting at him.

This is where I'm sitting right now:

Nice, isn't it? It's the guesthouse of the packing company I am working for at the moment: 'Van Genechten' located in Belgium ...

I am really happy @ the moment as it seems that a very special research project of rob and me - running over the last 2 years - will be finished by the end of february: The eVoting readiness scale.
That's what I am doing here after my working day - writing the final paper ... ;)

You know that place? Well, if you live in Vienna you should do! If you live somewhere else you should go there. It's a pretty cool place for party, sports and losing 25 kilos within 2.5 months ;) - called 'donauinsel'. I made this picture on my first inline skating tour on 9th and 10th february. Yeah, the first 50 kilometers are done :)

Thanx to my collegues @ Comfin for 6 nice and exciting months. I enjoyed working with you. I am proud to know that very special person who developed a software that will conquer the world very soon. ;)

Just returned from "Haus"... We stayed at a very nice hotel called "Kirchenwirt". Back in Vienna - there's a lot of work (my best friend ;) ) waiting for me ... This weekend Rob and me are working on the e-voting readiness scale paper and there are tons of "Music 2 People" issues.

Wish you all the best in 2008!
