Man proposes...

And it's raining again. Here go our building plans for the weekend.
On plus side, I finally managed to edit the photos and write the first bits of travel diary for our vacation in Namibia. I'll not do the bilingual thing this time; I have neither the time nor the motivation to write a text of that length twice. So this time the diary part is just in German.
The picspams that go with it are bilingual, though, so those who don't understand German can still look at the pics. And ask if they're particularly interested in anything - I'll explain in English then ;)
I've decided to put the whole thing up at
nakatsukuni, which seems like a good spot to collect travel diary stuff (at least that way it's not going to lie fallow for the rest of time or until I go to Japan again). It's also backdated, so you'll have to find it manually. Seems to make more sense than posting stuff with today's (or tomorrow's, or whatever's) date when the content is set in February.
If you want to have a look anyway, it's gonna be here.
The table for the pics is an experiment and it works on my computer, but I have no idea whether it looks ok in different browsers or different settings. If anything looks horrible, let me know so I can try and fiddle with it a bit...

Also, I've decided I no longer need to feel bad about choosing a "fun" topic for my Magistra thesis. If other people get their design diploma for such a fun project, I may as well have fun with corpus analysis. [Text is in German, but you can just scroll and click on the piccies.]
(Some nasty part of me wonders why the hell you show your design skills by basically copying the designs from the Lindisfarne Gospels etc., but I suppose skillful copying is still better than unskillful invention and crappy calligraphy.
But of course that's probably just jealousy because that guy at least finished his project while I haven't worked on mine for two and a half years.)
I am obviously studying the wrong kind of thing.

Und ich nehme mal an, diese Akademien lassen dich zum Abschluss so ziemlich alles machen, was du willst.

Aber zu einem Teil bin ich halt auch wirklich neidisch, weil ich an meinem ewig nicht gearbeitet habe, dafür nie was kriege (von freundlichen Worten abgesehen, die natürlich auch angenehm sind ;)), und mittlerweile auch viele meiner damaligen Sachen ziemlich misslungen finde und deswegen eigentlich besser von vorn anfangen sollte, als weiterzumachen...
