Der Bioinformatiker

I just got my reward for finishing bioinformatics: a brand new, shiny MacBook Pro 15.4″!

I’m really satisfied with it. The only drawback I have noticed so far is that it gets quite warm, but that is usual with modern laptops, I think. I spent the last days installing stuff, setting up Windows XP in a parallels-VM (yeah, I figure I will have to work with Windows stuff), setting up Windows XP using Apple boot camp (for those programs that don’t run in a VM) and installing more stuff.

I also upgraded my RAM myself, because the Mac Ram is ridiculously overpriced. I read in a review that Apple used “world’s tiniest screws” for the cover. I really have to confirm this. Fortunately I also own “world’s tiniest screwdriver” .

I also updated my blog, but I seem to have lost the pictures I had uploaded. Sorry for that…

When sorting the pictures, we came across a short video of a bollywood-film-production. We think it looks funny

And, as the title suggests, I finally had some time to sort and upload the photos. I put them on flickr again, because I currently have not much space left on my server. Comments are appreciated…

We are back home again! Boy, a 10 hour flight is horrible when it’s overnight, but when the flight takes from 10am to 8pm, it is worse.

So, now some information about our holiday: first a small map indicating our hotel…

and then some links:

a short video of a dive (sorry for the shaking, I’m just starting making such videos…) and another video, showing our diving group in a 360 degree sweep. And here, finally, is a link to a selection of our photos on flickr. I will put up a gallery as soon as all the pixx are sorted.

Unfortunately, time has passed too quick… our time here is nearly over and we had our last dive yesterday to say goodbye to all the fish here.

More pictures will follow when I don#t have to pay 7 Rupies per minute for slow internet
