Happy New Year!!! And my top ten 2012 songs …

Posted on January 1, 2013 by Music & HiFi 1


Happy New Year
to all of you, your families and friends wherever you live on the globe 🙂

 

And – similar to last year – here’s my list of the best 2012 songs based on the CDs or LPs I did purchase that year – and I didn’t buy much music this year but did focus on older stuff I had on my iPod for quite a while or just started listening. For instance I did get two UFO compilations, The Chrysalis Years and the The Decca Years, after listening to Try Me in the best bar on …

Workshop in Denver canceled – thanks to hurricane Isaac

Posted on September 5, 2012 by Travel 0

Yesterday Roy did start his journey on time to travel to Denver, CO for today’s Upgrade and Migration Workshop.

But unfortunately due to the remnants of  hurricane Issac moving up the East Coast and scrambling up flight schedules Roy’s flight from NYC to Denver got canceled after a 3 hour delay leaving Manchester, NH, and there was no option to arrive in Denver this morning on time.

So we apologize for canceling that workshop. The local marketing department will contact you regarding an alternative date. Sorry for any inconvenience!…

Posted on May 10, 2012 by Workshop 0

Danke an alle Teilnehmer der Upgrade & Migration Workshops in Hamburg und Köln. Und noch einmal eine grosse Entschuldigung wegen der falschen Event-Adresse im Web beim Hamburger Workshop, den dadurch bedingten etwas späteren Beginn und die natürlich die daraus entstandenen Unannehmlichkeiten.

Von meiner Seite ein grosser Dank für die tolle Athmosphäre an beiden Workshop-Tagen, Ihre Fragen und Ihr Feedback. Die Slides finden Sie, wie angekündigt, rechts im Slide Download Center 🙂

Some impressions from Seoul and Beijing

Posted on April 24, 2012 by Travel 0

There was not much time left to walk around and take some pictures during our fully packed workshop week in Seoul and Beijing. But as I have my camera almost always in my pocket I took some pictures … 🙂


Seoul View


Seoul Food … yes … BEEF … wonderfully thin sliced beef on the barbecue grid


Tumbling Seoul
(that’s exactly how I felt in the morning after our night at Peter, Paul and Mary’s (see below)).


Modern Beijing … very modern


Well … or even more modern …


There’s always a traffic jam … simply too many cars … …

Upgrade Workshop in Wellington – Recap

Posted on March 19, 2012 by Travel 0

Wow! Wellington is really a wonderful city – except for the weather situation 😉 But it was the first time that Roy and me did arrive to a workshop with a ferry boat. We flew in on Friday to Christchurch (btw, this was the longest customs and border control I’ve ever went through – and I traveled to Israel by bus via Allenby Bridge from the West Bank some years ago – it took us two hours to go through immigration and customs in the night from Friday to Saturday) and drove up the Southern Island. Very nice 🙂 …

Upgrade & Migration Workshops Down Under

Posted on March 7, 2012 by Workshop 0

Time flies … and the Database Upgrade and Migration Workshops in Australia and New Zealand come closer and closer. It has been exactly two years ago since Roy and me had run the Upgrade Workshop in Perth and Melbourne. In 2010 visiting Australia was part of our Asian workshop route. But this time we’ll fly the looooooooooooong way (ouch … I’m definitely not looking forward to my eco seat in cattle class for the 18 flight hours down to Perth – and, even worse, to the 22 hours with 2 stops on the way back from Sydney) down just …
