As academics, we get invitations to contribute to more or less legitimate conferences and journals all the time, and often the proposed topics have nothing to do with our research. Most of the people sending these emails, however, at least get our names […]

Dear @egonw and other #linux people, my high-end Lenovo work laptop finally short-circuited after many issues since we bought it four years ago and is beyond repair. I would have to spend all my staff budget to pay a similar machine as the standard office machines are less powerful, and I would […]

One of my stops in #munich will be the #wine shop run by my former co-student Jule. The reviews I have seen so far are great and I thought I should also let fellow #travellers going to Bavaria know about it. 😇
