Even though it’s quite straightforward to realise, I’ve uploaded an algorithm2e module for LyX (> 1.6.0) that adds support for the algorithm2e class (instead of algorithm).

Maybe it’s useful for some of you out there.

Back in 2005, we decided to use Subversion scm for the source code management in the Carpe Noctem project. This decision survived the last four years but based on what we experienced during this time – we even managed to somehow blown up our repositories –, the team decided to switch over to git after the World Championships 2009. We’ll have to see how things work out now and if people manage to come to grips with the new system.

Today, I tried to merge some changes for the new Spica version. As I maintained a separate repository for this purpose, I wasn’t sure about how well git merges these data. Surprisingly, it went just smooth. Only about eight simply conflicts needed to be solved. This resulted in my first lightly more complex git tree. Looks interesting in gitk :)

During the Hannover Messe I gave an interview to somebody I actually don’t remember anymore. Some guys from the organisation or the sponsors or whatever, whoever. Yesterday then Hendrik came across a video on YouTube where a short part of this interview is shown. Horrible to see myself talking… :)

Oh, it’s so true: Page 3, The secret life of a researcher.

This morning, Renate (the secretary of our lab) broke in on me with this birthday cake. That actually was the perfectly the right choice as I love these sweet and Gummibär-like things :)

My Birthday Cake :)

Here’s a more close-up view… Thanks a lot all of you, even though some of you have never seen me before :)
