Reactivation of dirkmeister.de

Next month, an interesting time begins.

After presenting some recent work at MSST 2012, I will do a three month internship at Greenplum, the data analysis part of EMC, in San Mateo: Three months California, three month Silicon Valley, three month sun, three month coding.

Some of my friends requested photos, updates, and proof of life. I could also use Facebook, Google+, or even twitter, but believe it or not, not all my friends use Facebook or Google+. Blogging feels very much like 2004, but it is ok for such a trip. For this reason, I will reactive this blog.

I don't know the blogging policy of Greenplum/EMC, so I will stick with being on the safe site by doing two things:

• Stressing that all views don't represent my current, previous or future employers or project partners, including EMC, the University of Paderborn, and the University of Mainz.
• Not even acknowledging that there could be something like a Greenplum Database.

Therefore, no technical content here. All the internship posts will be about photos, life in Silicon Valley (from my point of view), and weekend trips. 

This will be fun.
