The pic here from summer 2007 in my ole flat in Poppenbuettel. was a fun eve, playing table tennis with the lads...

anyway, at www.SlamCon.de you can see the invitation for the ex-AOL beer bash tomorrow.

SlamCon is my latest baby, the result from going freelance: "SlamCon - International IT Project Management with Poetry und Faust"

Pretty much sorted out the tax office so far, businessplan is done too. and tomorrow a chat in regards to funding from the goverment... target date for starting Feb. 01, 2010.

now off to do some more work :)

Right so... just 4 more days to go, then last day at AOL...here a pic showing the first beverages we bought...48 liters of coca cola, 20 liters of vodka, 12 liters of bitter lemon, 27 liters energy drink---we'll buy the rest in three days time...

Strange, odd, weird feelings, mixed with hope, happiness...after almost 11 years, to leave the company one believed in so much... AOL... still, few good peeps will be left behind...but hey, Cuba awaits me... two months in the Caribbean... :-D

anyways, details for ze party: everybody, who worked for/with AOL in the past, is welcome to join us for the party on Friday, Feb. 29, 2008. We'll start off at around 4 p.m., and take it from there. Address is "Beim Strohhause 25" (you may also use "Stiftstrasse 74" for your navigation system) in 20097 Hamburg. If you can't find it, text or call me or the guys at the reception - +49 40 36 159-0.

As we'll be having a lil show at 6 p.m., you better be there, else you'll miss something important...

Be there or be square, Klaussi :-)

P.S.: guestlist at www.bye-btc.de

Edit: thanks to Chris and Oli for this great flyer :-D

firstoff - link to the Video: Es war ne geile Zeit   what people don't know... we had more than one running man... J. here also starred in some scenes...
the video itself seems to be great winner, almost 3 k hits after 2 weeks (now I even am a bit worried about Juli respectively their mgmt. asking for royalties...) oh well, we'll find a way if needs be...
I have to upload a few more pics ( flickr of course, and not AOL Pictures...), then I'll add a link here in this post.

even alley insider posted a lil article...

here a link to my first post a few weeks ago regarding the shooting of this video (incl. link to the french vid)

Edit: a youtube link to the video, maybe easier to embed in blogs :)

As the colleagues in the AOL Paris Office did this great video ( PW is "aol lover" ), we here in Hamburg wanted to make one too... easier said than done, trust me...
it took us almost 3 weeks and 6 ish meetings, just to agree on the song (yay for Juli, "es war ne geile zeit")... anyways, we're almost halfway through, will be shooting the remainder next week (fingers crossed...)
this shot here shows Oliver and Oliver, during one of the short lunch brainstoming sessions.

Edit: final DE video can be found here

apart from that, I passed the ITIL foundation exam yesterday. one step closer to improving my CV for next year :) in 2 weeks time it'll be the PRINCE2 training course (I just hope I'll pass that too), and after that 3 weeks in Spain, Seville - language course. Vino Tinto y un cafe solo, por favour...

Great, again I got up at 5:30... some might like it, I don't... told my colleagues about http://www.alleyinsider.com/ and how accurate some of the posts about AOL financials situation seem...
Took the tube to Barons Court, easy peasy really. Gave Steph her pressies, and now to talk about one more project, which we are supposed to "handle efficiently, no PRINCE2, but to adapt a pragmatic approach instead". sure :)
P.S: helping Sven to move house last Sat was tiring indeed. jaisus, was i wrecked or what on Sat eve...

typical breakfast in www.Paul.fr - great way to start the day really :-D

and again we didn't have to pay (thanks Mehdi!) ... so sad really ;) and as you do on a friday, of course one has wine for lunch... even better, since it was one of the "cheap" St. Emillion ones...
