endofphil: Experimental Physics
http://endofphil.blogspot.com/2009/06/experimental-physics.html
The diary of a soul trying to hold down a job, play football and take the rubbish out. All at once. Sunday, June 14, 2009. The former right-back of Torpedo Entenhausen is trying to learn physics, and has hired me for private tuition. He is paying me in food, which suits us both fine. Or "How could you test this law? So yesterday, after a bout of mathematical problem solving, I tried to change matters. We did the following experiments, first in his garden, then in a children's playground:. As a demonstrat...

The diary of a soul trying to hold down a job, play football and take the rubbish out. All at once. Tuesday, March 10, 2009. Torpedo Entenhausen 1 - FC Porno Villa 0. My philological studies have satisfied me that a gifted person ought to learn English (barring spelling and pronouncing) in thirty hours, French in thirty days, and German in thirty years. So, the pitch. Is it playable? Yes, HE is playable". Well anyway, the pitch (male) was playable, and the defence (female, but consisting of four males) o...

The diary of a soul trying to hold down a job, play football and take the rubbish out. All at once. Monday, September 22, 2008. The Ballad of Reading Goal. Edit 9th Oct - The Video of the match keeps getting pulled, but the Video of Chris Kamara is much better. Unbelievable Jeff! I just wanted an excuse to use that oh-so-clever headline. It's quite scary how many google hits suggest that Oscar Wilde wrote a poem. About Reading scoring a goal, or about someone reading Goal Magazine. Guess the next number?

endofphil: Fire Moths
http://endofphil.blogspot.com/2009/07/fire-moths.html
The diary of a soul trying to hold down a job, play football and take the rubbish out. All at once. Sunday, July 05, 2009. Juggling with torches in the dark last night, I felt a little brave. I'd managed to burn a few arm hairs, and gain a soot mark on one arm. Then came the moths, and I felt not quite so brave. They were flying around and between the columns of fire. I read some of your posts, mainly the Torpedo ones. I enjoyed them a lot and had a couple of laughs. I hope you continue. You such a silly...

The diary of a soul trying to hold down a job, play football and take the rubbish out. All at once. Wednesday, April 29, 2009. German Police in Sense of Humour Schock. I am in a good mood today. I have an extended job interview with an IT company tomorrow, and took a Salsa class last night. When I'm in a good mood I try to make boring situations as fun as possible. Good again after your month-long absence! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. No more) Mr. Nice Guy.

endofphil: Dance if you wanna dance.
http://endofphil.blogspot.com/2009/05/dance-if-you-wanna-dance.html
The diary of a soul trying to hold down a job, play football and take the rubbish out. All at once. Thursday, May 07, 2009. Dance if you wanna dance. My professor in Erlangen spent several years persuading me to get out of the laboratory more and take dancing classes. At the time I was too fascinated by the beauty of quantum states to bother with things like music, rhythm, movement and women. Two nervous breakdowns later, I decided to give it a try. Back to the dancing, I found an Italian Erasmus student...

endofphil: February 2009
http://endofphil.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
The diary of a soul trying to hold down a job, play football and take the rubbish out. All at once. Saturday, February 28, 2009. There was a time when being called 'Sir' was a time for respect. Damsels in distress, holy grails and all that. After living in Germany for a while, it appeared to be an anachronistic nicety. Now it is a short and polite form for 'Rich useless fat cunt'. Take, for example, Sir Fred Goodwin. Or Sir Allen Stanford. My husband has turned into a right sir. I hope he has some loving...

endofphil: January 2009

The diary of a soul trying to hold down a job, play football and take the rubbish out. All at once. Friday, January 23, 2009. By yesterday the procedure to stop my bike was quite complex. Pulling as hard as possible on both brakes achieved only a negative third derivative of distance with respect to time. If you understand this, you will also understand the Bild Zeitung headline on the German economy this week "Growth shrinks" (originally "Wachstum schrumpft"). Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). I used to be bi...

Capsoff Keyboard Contest - GeekShare. Dec 19th, 2006 10:15 pm. I need your help! The Capsoff Keyboard contest. Is coming to a close, and only a 125 vote have been cast! It's a great competition that just hasn't drawn the attention it deserves. Last month, I entered a design of my own. As a late entrant, my keyboard design hasn't had nearly as long to accumulate votes as the other designs. You see my entry along with an explanation of the design at: http:/ capsoff.org/mdkb:pipedreamergrey.

endofphil: A new job
http://endofphil.blogspot.com/2009/06/new-job.html
The diary of a soul trying to hold down a job, play football and take the rubbish out. All at once. Thursday, June 11, 2009. I managed to do it. In the past 12 months I sent out 6 job applications. I kept trying to up the rate to at least once a week, but never managed it. I got invited to two interviews, so I'm rather surprised that I found a job. I've decided to keep the details of the job out of this blog in order to give it a decent chance of working. Labels: Looking for a job. Looking for a job.
