dynamics and competition by funding

Die ehrwürdigen Hallen einer Hochschule. Lieblingsbeschäftigung hier oft: Bürokratie.

How many hours was German university staff do not investigate properly, because of sophisticated applications for clusters of excellence wrote? Just a thought. Because I was not there when it was used, but which alone already noticeable burden on the faculty decency, as the new courses should be accredited for a fat requests had to be written ... And with such a sloppy application slapped together one can break (hopefully) in the monies not excellence. Well, our faculty, the work could have saved, but you do not know before. And we have a lot of universities in Germany of which would certainly be very much something abhaben of the cake.

other hand, I can not imagine to look exactly like the dynamics of of the DFG President here speaks . Has anyone more or even better researched, so that he gets the funding? As well, something's not from today to tomorrow. What you can do for such a request flatter, and polish facade. And for that halt squander time that could have been better invested unelitär in his research.

Addendum 17th October: interesting to hear from Holger his commentary, that it was indeed the expected effort for the universities. Now remained for me the question, how could praise Ernst-Ludwig Winnacker, President of the DFG as the action so high, where he ought to know as opposed to politics, as the with the research or not research, because you just write requests, work. I wanted to learn, then, what the heck is the man that the general Prof somewhere and ... yes, in fact, he is C4-Prof ... at the University of Munich!

I had read in the press that the decisions are suspected of insider relationships influence within the DFG to have been. be sufficient that such a modest ropes already seems to me, however, was not clear. From Munich to Munich, it's not as far as we know since Edmund Stoiber .

But whether this Kungeltheorie right now or not, why not sincere about Winnacker can outraged the allocation of funds is so perfectly clear. Why he did so candidly gives his two cents, though it includes its own university and its Nachbaruni to the three chosen ones, I still do not know.

second Addendum: Munich Winnacker the way, is not only President of the DFG, but was also the chairman of the Appropriations Committee. The chairman of the Science Council Peter Stroh outraged now today to the taz that were the proceedings "been clean" and all decisions "taken strictly scientific" (which also always helps a scientific methodology in such decisions). Stroh is Professor of Germanic ... exactly, the University of Munich.

Snl My Name Is Jeff Nuni

Finally Internet!

Verbunden seit 1 Minute 40 Sekunden, Downstream magere 2304 kBit/s, Up 448. Und an der Fritz!Box hab ich auch schon rumgefummelt, wie sie sich hier beschwert. Finally! A few minutes, the long-awaited Soviet anthem sounded out of my laptop speakers, as a sign that finally the internet connection (I had written a small script to not constantly full of expectation to look at the screen and each time disappointed to be).

The speed is only one eighth of the expected, but I was told in advance already. The cause is too long telephone line, which can then only with DSL 3Mbps. Since I do not 6-MBit/s-Preis wanted to pay, I have now after a short trial 2Mbps with increased upstream. With the support of Strato DSL way, I have made so far very good experience, they are both friendly and competent have been. No comparison with Big Pink. Also my Fritz! Box seems to me to be made by people with a clue, there really has never been faster. Hopefully I mokele it is not broke too fast, but it runs Linux on it and stop once you get activated Telnet, you can have a lot fun with it.

So then, wish me luck and see you now probably more often! :)

Waxing Mens Testicles

You Mama, because a helicopter is in our garden ...

morning to our internet finally be there, hopefully then I'll write more often, but this story I have to tell just yet. I'm going this morning from the house and not hear much outside a fast-louder getting howling like a giant turbine. And a few meters later, I see where it comes from: There was a full-grown helicopter almost directly in front of our house in the small park on the street. I did not have my camera of course, present, typical, but who do not believe me, the tracks still visit, the grass is in fact flattened a large area and the guys with the leaf vacuums have saved a lot of work. The work has made the huge machine the way, very thoroughly, but a huge cloud of dust landed on leaves and a few interested neighbors, I was lucky to have come a little further. On the other hand, took leave of the real long time to start what would have on the site of the ill person in the interior are impatient, it was in fact a rescue helicopter, according to label. At some point, but then the noise was loud enough to take off and he sprayed over the treetops henceforth. I have then taken my usual bus.

of moving from

Yes, I'm still alive ... and I still write. Although the year in Paris, is now at, but at least I have not written anything for so long that there are still a lot to report. In addition, I've also decided that I'd like to continue this blog even after completion of the coverage of my year in Paris. However, no longer with the most detailed reports on small things. That is too time-namely, eating on time and also probably only moderately interesting for most.

while I type this sitting between and on boxes and post via modem (ie Internet is either expensive or shit, and one way or slow), but it is making progress in the new apartment, even though there are a lot of work. Once some rest and my ADSL2 + modem have been resumed, I am also some pictures in here and write in more detail.
