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.

Little Differences IV - The educated elite

Elite ist Ansichtssache. Meiner Meinung nach ist die beste Methode, Großes hervorzubringen, den Pluralismus zu fördern. Dazu gehören auch Leute mit großen Plastikhirnen auf dem Kopf wie auf diesem Foto. Für die Schule bedeutet dies, dass jeder nach seinen Fähigkeiten gefördert werden sollte, anstatt zu versuchen, allen möglichst viel klassische Bildung einzutrichtern, die sich die meisten eh nur bis zur nächsten Klassenarbeit merken.

The word elite in France has the cruel status , the German politicians also seem to us to do. Grandes Écoles and elite universities are a normal part of the education system . Who there was won, who was not there, get some jobs not easy. The consequence of the remoteness of the political caste people I had ever mentioned .

parade elite students also on 14 July on the Champs-Elysees and get specials in quiz shows, where they must show in their uniforms, who is the best of the best schools.

A particularly fine example of the importance of the elite in France is now thankfully history: Formerly private schools began in the morning for fifteen minutes before the lessons so that their students on the road is not interfered with the mob. On the effectiveness of the measure can be safely arguing, but it was probably more around the icon. And it has worked.

And simultaneously with the calls for elite in Germany is already severely punished at the school every deviation from the norm. Somehow I can not help thinking that there are not very elitist spirits who attempt just to conjure up an educated elite from the political hat.
