Heute um 16:00 ging es los: zwischen 300 und 4.000 Demonstranten (300 am Start, lt. Polizei ca. 2.000, laut Veranstalter um die 4.000) starteten beim Hauptgebäude der Karl-Franzens Universität. Die Protestwelle kämpfte sich mit Trillerpfeifen und der Hilfe einiger Polizisten über die Glacisstraße zum Jakomini- und schließlich zum Hauptplatz.

Gefordert wird unter anderem (aus einem Mail der ÖH kopiert):

- Anhebung des österreichischen Bildungsbudgets

- eine Re-Demokratisierung der Universitäten

- Keine Beschränkungen von Bachelor-, Masterstudien und PhD-Programmen

- Menschenwürdige Arbeitsverträge für alle Bediensteten an den Universitäten

- genug räumliche und personelle Ressourcen

Gegen 19:00 ging es dann auch schon friedlich zu Ende.

So I can really recommend testing the software!

(it took about 50 minutes to learn the ropes and paint this – but I didn’t want to finalise it today)

So the screenshot below is my first trial with the tablet and I hope not my last act and took about 20 minutes of my senseless time.

After somebody decided to steal my mountainbike in Graz and  the city is well known for mountainbiking I bought a new one: and there are really several challenging routes. There are two smaller, but great mountains directly in Graz: Plabutsch (in the background of the 1st photo below; 400 m over Graz) and Platte (300 m over Graz) and there is also one higher mountain near Graz: the so called Schöckl (1100 m over Graz). The mountainbike/downhill-routes are more or less legal.

Because I didn’t know that there was a second Klagenfurt on this planet I had to google a little bit: One of the discoverer (Max Freiherr von Sterneck) of Franz-Joseph-Land was born in Klagenfurt. Moreover Franz-Joseph-Land  is named after the Austrian imperator Franz Joseph 1st.

But I’m still laughing that there is no recommendation for the Austrian Klagenfurt on Google Maps.

Today I had a toboggan-trip (dt. rodeln) on Magdalensberg and I had to shoot the great sentiment on the top.

With pixum (works in cooperation with the biggest European fotofinisher CeWe Color) I had very good experiences with printing photobooks before. I compared the printing quality of some books with one I ordered at HappyFoto (an Austrian company) and I think that the HappyFoto-books can’t hold a candle to pixum. The photos are not that sharp as they are printed by pixum. But I tried something new: a canvas with the dimension 60×40 cm (cost factor: about 50 Euro and with an extra of 5 Euro for the delivery to Austria – if you’re one of the newletter-members of pixum you will often get a bonus up to 15 Euro).

So I ordered a canvas of one of my sunset-pictures whose colour gradients are really hard to print, so I thought it would be a nice shot to test the printing quality of the canvas. So here is the shot as I sent it to pixum (via Internet):

Since it will be unfair to compare the quality of the canvas only with a monitor, I compared it furthermore with the photobook. But have a look on your own (raws scanned in by a photo-scanner):

Here is the output of the canvas, on the right site you can see the linen-structure:

The left one is out of the photo-book, the right one is the original photo, as you can see above:

With the manifacturing quality I was satisfied. It could be better, but for the beginning, canvas are new in their product line it’s quite o.k.:

So all in all I think that the quality is quite good, but the price must decrease for the smaller formats (the biggest format there is 160×90 cm by now). First of all I was a little bit shocked, because pixum sent the canvas with a registered letter and not as a parcel.

My lectures (Vorlesungen) are:

In Deutsch: Grundlagen der Elektrotechnik (VO…Vorlesung, UE…Uebung), Mathematik A (VO, UE), Technik und Ethik (VO), Physik (VO, UE), Chemie (VO) und Einführung in die Informatik (VO, UE).

In English: Basics of electrical engineering,  mathematics, technics and ethics, physics, chemistry and computer science.

I am going upload a few pictures of my daily routine  in a few weeks (I have to get my cam Canon A710 from Klagenfurt firstly). But I’ve got one shot so far (it looks like the prison of Graz-Karlau, but it’s inside the TU):

The funny games (in German):

- Bama schmeißn (Weitwerfen von Bäumen, Tageshöchstweite etwa 12,5 m)

- Bierle zupfn (0,5 l-Krug möglichst schnell austrinken, Bestzeit etwa 3,2 s)

- Eia wixn (ein rohes Ei unbeschadet möglichst weit werfen, bester Wurf etwa 46 m)

- Heihigl lafn (Hürdenlauf)

- Strick ziagn (Tauziehen)
