  Bergtagung 2007: Aftermath   General (0)

  The Bergtagung concluded yesterday in a frenzy of cleaning. After a good three hour walk up a random mountain, where five of us ate dried meat, enjoyed the view into the valley and sat on a bench like proper elderly mountain people, we headed back to the village to give the Bergtagung building a good […]

  The Bergtagung 2007 has ended Sunday afternoon, the 22th of July. The participants can send us their pics (to Ramon or Alex). The next Bergtagung is probably going to take place in a year at the same place around the same time. Stay tuned.

  Summary of the last 24 hours   Liveblog (0)

  Well well! Long time no time for liveblogging, and to be honest, I suck at it. But here’s just something to give you an update on the last 24 hours, which were quite eventful.
  We had our first arrivals yesterday afternoon when Pei and Tobi found their way from the postbus station to the school building. […]

  2.5 kg of tomato sauce   Liveblog (0)

  I just finished preparing 2.5 kg of tomato sauce down in the kitchen. I’m quite happy with the kitchen utensils they gave us, only the can openers are a bit ancient. They don’t have good grip, so I ended up slipping and getting tomato juice all over my GNU Age/FSFE t-shirt with the levitating gnu. […]

  Ye olde Webbecamme is live   Liveblog, Breaking News (0)

  There is an ancient, really ancient webcam pointing out the window of our classroom right now, as evidenced by the picture above. The colors are off, it’s not focused properly, it has a plastic lens and all in all cost about EUR 2 to manufacture. Ah, how it reminds me of the sweet webcam hype […]

  The good beds are almost sold out!   Breaking News (0)

  Ayayay! We’re almost out of good beds! Even though “good” might be stretching it a bit.
  Now don’t be alarmed. Some of the people who signed up only signed up tentatively anyway, and we will simply sell their corpses to science if they do show up. Then you can have their beds. But all in all: […]

  Improved Beds!   Breaking News (0)

  Wheeeeeeee! You might remember the picture of the beds I put on the wiki. Charming, eh? But I have good news! We got better beds! When I arrived up here today, the beds were all furnished with little foam mattresses and pillows. These are completely unexpected luxuries, and I’m sure we’re all relieved.
  By the way: […]

  Limited Beer Selection in Ilanz   General (0)

  I did some reconnaissance work on my way up and took pictures of the beer selection at the Coop in Ilanz. As you can see on the photographs, the selection of special beers is rather limited and quite expensive. Still, we can go there and get beer in a pinch.
  But there’s a way out of […]
