Wunderwelt Technik / Magic world of computers...
So bin ich also einem meiner Chefs so lange auf die Nerven gegangen ("Willst Du mich von der Welt isolieren??" / " Haben deutsche Asylanten kein Recht auf Datenautobahn??" / "Nach Hause telefoniern..." (nasal mit dem Zeigefinger E.T.-like nach oben) bis er ein USB-Modem rausgerueckt hat.
In kurzen, praegnanten Worten: klein, schwarz, einfach in den USB-Port stopfen, 3,6 Mbit geniessen. Egal wo, wann, warum...
So kommt es nun, dass ich in Gamla Stan in einem Cafe sitzen kann, warmen Apfelkuchen mit Vanillesosse verspeise , synchron dazu 5 Liter Latte Macchiato trinke UND diesen Blogeintrag schreiben kann.
Endlich wieder ein ganzer Mensch ;)

Some of the Uli-email-receiving people might have wondered about the problems I was griping about during my first days here in Sweden. It wasn't the usual encounter with an - AGAIN - different mentality (this time "gosh! they are so... normal..") - nope... the biggest problem of all was internet access at my new residence. Soon I've discovered that only after 3 days in a new apartment the landlord's lack of understanding technology can lead to spontaneous expulsion of me as a tenant. To put it in a nutshell: I still do not have a fixed internet access in my apartment and will never have one (although access was my precondiion for moving in). And the neighbour's unprotected network isn't really a real smash...
This fact made me getting on peoples' nerves at work. So my boss constantly had to listen to:
"Do you want to isolate me from the rest of the world??" / "Do German asylum seekers not have the right to an information superhighway??" + an index finger like E.T. whining "skype hoooome...." until he finally came with a solution: USB-modem. --> plug into the USB port, immediately enjoy 3,6 mbit everywhere and at all times.
That's why I am now able to sit in Gamla Stan, eat warm apple pie with vanilla sauce, drink Latte Macchiat by the litre AND write this blog entry.
Finally a complete human being again.. ;)
