2009-10-14T18:34:00.002+02:00

I started this blog to learn more about the possibilities and limitations of mobile blogging. By now, I know enough.

Take care!/Anders - moving to Twitter (http://twitter.com/aweijnitz)

Scenic view Munich

2009-03-03T17:28:00.001+01:00

The pictures on oktoberfest.de tell of a different Munich than mine. Mine is limited and not as gemütlich. Weather is however mild and the birds are singing. Not too bad i guess.

Machines - Anders: 1 - 0

2009-03-03T10:29:00.001+01:00

Standing in line, waiting for help. Preserving blood pressure. Humbled.

Devil's right hand

2009-03-03T10:19:00.001+01:00

Most likely among the most incomprehensible piece of machinery in wide use today. Makes you want to do bad things. No wonder there is a long line at the manual service desk. No one uses this...

Long day ahead

2009-03-03T05:51:00.001+01:00

It's early. It's dark. It's freezing outside and I'm still fighting the remainder of a terrible cold. A good day for traveling...

Waiting for the train

2009-02-18T22:48:00.001+01:00

Arlanda Express. Going home, after a day in Oslo.

Neat web terminals, Oslo

2009-01-21T16:51:00.001+01:00

Leaving Oslo Sentralstasjon, I found these neat internet access points by Flytoget. They certainly carry a Nordic air.

Not fresh

2009-01-13T19:50:00.001+01:00

COPENHAGEN AIRPORT - Who likes a urinal that doen't flush? Personally I prefer them clean as well. This one didn't match either requrement. Not fresh.

Christmas rush, Bromma airport

2008-12-24T09:32:00.001+01:00

Thinking that the 24th must be a nightmare for travelling, I want to the airport early. Bromma is a small city airport, mostly serving domestic flights and Brussels. I guess the majority of the traffic must be business related, because the whole place is more or less empty today. Coming here I initially even thought that the place was closed and that I had missed some important piuece of information. Good I got herein time, so that I can practice the virtue of waiting... Merry Christmas!

Concert

2008-12-10T20:55:00.002+01:00

Decent act opening - I are Droid. Johnossi headlining.

The show is over

2008-10-30T20:28:00.001+01:00

Het Paleis, Shiphol. Waiting for my flight, enjoying a Duvel beer. Going home!

Heavy metal

2008-10-30T12:49:00.001+01:00

Walking around the Ifra premises gives you a good understanding of the enabling technologies of the publishing industry. It spans from specialized software to print and bundling machinery and everything in between. The amazing thing is that it is all collected under one roof and on display. It's like walking around in a Discovery channel program about the news and magazine industry.

Wide audience

2008-10-30T10:15:00.001+01:00

Ifra attracts an industry wide audience, but I was surprised to learn that even other species take interest. This pidgeon was browsing the stands in the print machinery section (Hall 8) this morning. I guess you learn something new every day.

Last day. Breakfast

2008-10-30T08:46:00.001+01:00

Last day of the show. Yesterday was good, albeit busy. I hope I get some time today to go through my mail at least. Things are stacking up.

Stones on fire

2008-10-29T21:07:00.001+01:00

The lobby of the hotel I'm staying at wants to be a livingroom, with couches, books, magazines and a TV. For some reason they also included a partition of fire, featuring burning gas, filtering through stones. Fancy, but it does take away some of the livingroom feeling. I mean - who has that at home?

Big booth!

2008-10-28T17:23:00.001+01:00

One of the dominating stands at Ifra. It's almost a small conference center in itself!

Going green

2008-10-28T17:19:00.001+01:00

Going green today, with formal business attire. Ifra2008

Hello Holland!

2008-10-28T10:22:00.001+01:00

Hello Norway! Meeting and then home again today. For once, not a redeye flight. Nice!

Yet another decorated bin

2008-10-09T23:13:00.001+02:00

The mystery continues...

Back where I started

2008-09-25T23:12:00.001+02:00

Tired long day.

Going down south

2008-09-25T07:03:00.001+02:00

Early morning. Munich and back today.

Another one!

2008-09-19T23:22:00.001+02:00

Having enjoyed a beer with my long time friend Fredrik I headed home by subway. On the platform I found another decorated trashcan. See earlier posts for info. Who is doing this? Curious.

Bye bye Bavaria

2008-09-16T18:58:00.002+02:00

Meeting in Munich

2008-09-15T19:05:00.001+02:00

I'm in Munich at the same time as Oktoberfest, but I won't see the spectacle. Meeting tomorrow, but first a stop in Augustinerkeller for a rendezvous.

4h delay

2008-07-24T19:29:00.001+02:00

Fortunately there are lots of things to do at Athen's airport... or not. Four hours, but who's counting?

Parthenon@Akropolis

2008-07-24T09:08:00.002+02:00

We got up early and took a taxi to the remains of what used to be the local church. Quite impressive. I guess their gods must have been powerful. Next stop: meeting.

[EDIT: added some more pics]

Sunset dinner by the sea

2008-07-23T23:02:00.003+02:00

Sometimes travelling is a hard and sometimes it's quite alright. Tonight it's definitely alright. Tomorrow will be worse. I just got an SMS saying that my flight home is delayed by more than three hours...

[EDIT: added another image]

Flying out with BA to London. That new terminal at Heathrow isn't really working as it should be, as I understand it. 75% cancellations yesterday... Looks like an interesting flight today.

Rolling home

2008-04-01T19:01:00.001+02:00

Long day today. Long day tomorrow.
