Met Tom Graves @ Gartner EA summit

• what an awesome coincidence for me and Ondrej to meet Tom Graves and having a very short chat with him while walking over westminster bridge
• Tom is definitly one of the thought leaders in "real EA" discipline - hope to meet him again to have some more time for exchaning ideas and experiences

qcon talk in london

• that was a really exciting experience to be on stage .....
• nervousity was gone quite soon....
• me and henke had some decent amount of fun during the talk ;-)

• ...introducing ourselves

• ...this is passion ;-)))

• q&a session after the talk was filled with questions
• evaluation of the talk was average as we had too much "fluff" and too less meat for qcon audience
• this is a good learning for maybe the next talks (asia or sf ? ;-)
• the facebook talk was really great and can be seen as a baseline for upcoming talks !

• and then we switched to tourist mode, actually that was our rehearsal day ;-))

trip to icy stockholm

• that was a real climate shock
• from "springish" vienna to deep winter in stockholm

vacation at ossiachersee

• first of all - very big thänx to doris for this terrific present to our wedding !!

• http://www.haus-kaernten.com

• ossiachersee from the road towards gerltzen - it was 1500 height meter for "hamburg" to crawl up - we made it :-)

• we did a short hike from the end of the gerlitzen "maut-strasse" up to the feuerberg (1800m)
• i was sweating like a pig.....
• and lotte was carried like a princess in her backpack ....

• germany vs. turkey ...

• the marvellous garden of haus kaernten was a real pleasure
• madame carl-lotta was more interested in handies than in the garden (typical "stadt kind" ;-)))

• the "alpenzoo" in feld am see feat. kakadu anton and lots of other animals
• they really have "exoutische tiere" :-)
• more about alpenzoo ...

• lotte really had some "troubles" to like the gras :-)) but after 3 days she finally enjoyed sitting on the "unfamiliar" underground
• especially tapping around in and with water seems to be nice :-)
• by the way - lotte is walking freely since 2 weeks !!

• one hungry and two sleepy ladies on the way back to vienna....
