“Withdrawal symptoms — possibly including headache, irritability, an inability to concentrate, drowsiness, insomnia and pain in the stomach, upper body, and joints — may appear within 12 to 24 hours after discontinuation of caffeine intake, peak at roughly 48 hours, and usually last from one to five days, representing the time required for the number of adenosine receptors in the brain to revert to “normal” levels, uninfluenced by caffeine consumption.”

This is pretty much what i experienced during my first days of lent (no coffee, alcohol, sugar, and meat). Now i need less sleep, am more aware and MUCH better at multi-tasking.

I do miss a good coffee, though.

FYI: BILD is the tabloid equivalent to FOX news. So no, we do not want Greece to sell those islands.

Get your business plan read: crunch it to one page

Nice one. Looks like a summary that is fun to read and gets done what a summary should do: make things easy to understand and, well, summarize.

I love weekends.

Sun, 07 Mar 2010 16:58:37 +0100

Not necessarily because I’m off work, more bcause of the thrill of starting every day with “what do i want to do today”.

I try to get everything duty-related (bills, admin stuff, gym, phone calls) done during weeknights so i can doodle around come saturday. I would never have the leisure to do stuff like setting up my workshop, reading meaningful amounts of books and magazines, enjoying a sunny day and time with Isabelle if i wasn’t disciplined during the week. Even if that meens stressful evenings.

Of course, work and stuff like that is on my mind, but I have much more time to actually think through things that need to be taken care of. From a distance, you can actually see the big picture everybody keeps talking about (and usually leaves it at that, talking). Also, when I goof off making stuff, cooking, or reading, I tend to have the best ideas. Thankfully, ideas are quite important in my day job.

We just spent an awesome afternoon exploring a park in Cologne that we haven’t seen before. Just us, the sun, and a good time. A nice café afterwards, now on to reading and maybe some gym time later - before heading out for our anniversary dinner. Maybe that’s why i love weekends. I see more of Isa.

“Linux-Betriebssysteme gibt es kostenlos als Download, als Beipack-DVD auf PC-Zeitschriften oder im Handel als DVD-Pack mit Handbüchern ab 15 Euro. Die Stärken solcher Systeme: Sicherheit, Ausstattung mit freien Programmen. Schwächen: Geringes Spieleangebot, Lücken bei Gerätetreibern, umständliches Verfahren bei der Installation weiterer Programme.”

Mein Kollege Christian hat eine Übersicht zur Problematik der deutschen Fusionskontrolle bei VC-Deals.

As hardly any VC deal has been sent to the competition authorities for approval most of the big done deals are null and void. Hence, under German law the VC never became the owner of the shares. The shareholder agreement is just as null and void as the transfer or issuance of new shares to the VC. In return the VC can only require the target to re-transfer his investment. Good luck with…

Postmaterielle vs. Konsum-Materialisten

Postmaterielle vs. Konsum-Materialisten:

katriin:

“Deutschland sucht den Superstar” und “Unser Star für Oslo” sind die aktuell populärsten Castingshows. Es geht um Musik, aber mehr noch um zwei Milieus, die gegeneinander antreten. Oben schweben in soziodemografischen Wolken die “Postmateriellen”: liberal, intellektuell, sozial aufgeschlossen, ohne Existenzsorgen. Sie misstrauen der Verführbarkeit durch Geld, verlieren lieber richtig, als falsch zu gewinnen, und wollen sich nicht verkaufen. Weit drunter liegt das Milieu der “Konsum-Materialisten”. In den Worten der Soziologen wollen sie “Anschluss halten an die Konsumstandards der Mitte als Kompensationsversuch sozialer Benachteiligungen”. Kurz: weniger Bildung, weniger Chancen, dickeres Auto. Bohlen ist ihr Schutzpatron.
