Catching up on emails through a slow wireless (but wifi!) on board MS Baltic Queen. Celebrating 'yys'ovd's TdF victory nothing could impair my mood this evening. Or so I thought. 'Cause look what one of the professional email lists I subscribe to sent out today. Details changed to protect the...ahem...innocent.

That's why she's been ignoring her blogs since it has turned all her thoughts and statements into third person style. And she knows that's really silly. Anyway, she will be very happy if you'll seek her out on FB if you know who she is IRL. She

Ecogeofemme wrote yesterday on how she fights sleepy eyes at work. Not coffee, but jumping jacks* and going for a stroll. When I'm in Scotland I usually have coffee twice a day. First some time between 6 and 7 In the morning when hgd wakes me up and brings me a cup of about a decilitre of super strong espresso**. Sometimes I'm too sleepy to even drink it before it's cold. My second cup of coffee

So, not only am I (still) without social security, I have also apparently been illegally driving my new car for a month. For some reason the registration didn't happen properly when I picked it up.Partly my fault - maybe. I asked to pick it up on a Saturday whereas the dealer usually only sell cars Mo-Fr. So the paperwork routine may have been messed up because of that. I also probably should

Tried to order my European health insurance card online today and got a message I couldn't do it. Called Försäkringskassan (social security office) to ask why the hell not.Well, apparently I'm not registered. ??+?++??. I sent the papers in October dammit. Seems like this is how long time it takes these days. They would speed up the process since I said that I'm travelling a lot and really need

After submitting grant @ 23.45 last night I needed to let off some steam. YouTubed my favourite track to get up from my office chair to shake my - ahem - phenotype, but then look what I stumbled upon. As much as I adore the original, I argue that this is even awesomer. Yeah.Repeated almost ad nauseam. At high volume. I thought no-one would be around at work at that time of night. I was wrong. Ah

From Nature Jobs today. "If it weren't for the grant, I would have skipped the tutorial and gone to the meeting for only a couple days," says NN. "My daughter would have stayed at home with her father, and I would have been thinking, 'Was it OK, was my husband able to pick her up from school today?' With the grant, I was focused at the meeting and not worrying about her." My first thought was "

I've been told to wear a name tag so I'm recognizable when I go to the BrewPub in Copenhagen. So my fellow pseudonymous bloggers can tell it's me when we're there at the same time. I had been working late in my hotel room Wednesday last week and decided to cross the town hall square to get a half pint of P.J.Harvey, the brewery's English IPA, and socialize with colleagues if they were still there

Stepwise girl and I met in Stockholm on Thursday! And I even got to meet her husband who she apparently collected during field work. As "usual" in academic couples I know; two different nationalities and two different languages which I have no intention of disclosing. Great people both of them and I'm very happy she initiated the contact. A photo will appear on the other blog at some point in the

How much would you be willing to pay for your dude to fly in for a few days of you-know-what? It's a highly relevant question right now. A very simple model would be a sigmoidal function over time [since last encounter]; slowly increasing at first, a more or less linear increase during a certain time window and after a certain number of days it levels off. Right now I'm on the middle part of the

I've been pretty good. Despite my general appreciation of distilled and fermented liquids, I've since this somewhat pathetic post had 21 of 26 days sans alcohol. The five days with have been *6-course dinner with accompanying wine selection on the last evening in Austria three weeks ago [and I only had half glasses] *Friday dinner with hgd two weeks ago *Saturday dinner with hgd two weeks ago

My parents visited me in Sweden last weekend. Partly because my Mom wanted to make sure I'm still alive after the car crash and partly because my Dad was really eager to buy me a new car. Now look, I didn't ask for it but you know if he insists, I'm not the one to decline. He even did all the work searching online, contacting dealers and even looking at some on their way from Norway.We ended up

CPH again. Got up ridiculously early after working ridiculously late. I'm starting the second week of the peripathetic month of March 2009. After being in Sweden for a week to show my face at work there so they don't think I've deserted just yet, I'm on my way to Austria to collaborate with former colleagues. We have to make sure we spend as much of the EU taxpayers' money as possible before the

Openly gay and culturally - but not religiously - muslim Sara Azmeh Rasmussen* burned a hijab in the 8 March demonstration in Oslo today and received all kinds of reactions from cheering and clapping to snow balls. Some young women in pink headscarves, abundant make-up and accessories were terribly upset about it, since "we're not doing anything wrong". Well, that's kind of beside the point,

As seen over at Lecture Notes; I am in the UK after all. Apparently the BBC reckons most people will have only read 6 of the 100 books here. Instructions (simplified): 1) Look at the list and bold those you have read. 2) Add a ‘+’ to the ones you LOVE. 3) Italicize those you plan on reading. 1 Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen+ 2 The Lord of the Rings - JRR Tolkien (reddit it Norwegian, Swedish

So, hands up everyone who knows what that is. I didn't know till about a week ago either. But apparently it's a very vital part of any bike and if it snaps you're in trouble if you're far away from home. Remember this? I brought my bike from France to Scotland in June last year. When hgd brought it to a bike shop in the neighbourhood to have it assembled a couple of weeks ago, they informed us

Long story short: I've been in Scotland for about a week, just starting up my fellowship at hgd's university. It's a long time since we last discussed the pros and cons of working with your boyfriend / partner / spouse / lover / sign. other on these premises, but now it's started. Not too much hassle to move this time, the only admin I've done is to get a bank account and a network user account.

Whereas this is old news by now, it's still worth reminding everyone that according to Bilalic et al (2009), 96% of the difference in ranking between the 100 best male and 100 best female chess players in Germany can be explained by the fact that there are a 16:1 male - female ratio. The largest group will have larger variation in performance than the smaller group, i.e. just because more men
