Oja, es tut sich noch was..

.. just unfortunately nothing obvious.. thanks to my encyclopaedic knowledge in joomla and programing in general it took me just 3 hrs to put the caption of "Table of Contents" on the right place ^^
In my defense - for that I also put up a testing system in another directory (and for that i can really recommend AkeebaBackup).
In the meantime, that you don't get completely bored (uhm.. yeah this may depend on your interests..), have a look at the homepages from Felix Wesch and Frank Sudendey if you want to see really great nature photography (.. and proper webdesign..).
Maybe later this week I'll add some pics from my last exkursions on Krk and Vir et al. Both excursions' motto you can see on the right pic - there's a treasure everywhere! ;-)
German version: alles leiwand!
nur um das einmal festzuhalten...

... noch kann ich mich daran erinnern, worum sich mein Diplomarbeitsgebiet so im Großen und Ganzen dreht..;-)
Sonst gibt's hier grad ur viel zu tun, sowohl Freizeit als auch Uni latürnich, deswegen isses ein bisserl ruhig hier und die Antwortmails dauern auch immer länger als normal.. ;-)
The year has officially begun

Now it is official - 2012 has started! :-)
Yesterday I joined Boris and Igor at doing fieldwork on Vipera berus (Common Adder / Kreuzotter). Goal was to catch as much snakes as possible, measure and weight them and also collect data about where they've been found, certain temperatures and information about the (micro-)habitat. With that it's possible to gain information about how big the population is, how much the single snakes move, how fast they grow, temperature preferences and so on.
At the beginning, the catch rate looked pretty much like a typical austrian national team vs. anyone football match: Cro - A 4:0. I was quite proud of myself, being such a good representative of our football culture even in herpetolgy. But in the end i also found a black male, even though i tried my best to avoid finding a snake ;-)
So the searching is the fun part, after that the snakes have to be measured, what is a bit tricky, because snakes usually don't like being handled and the fact that V. berus is poisonous doesn't make things easier. So this is quite a task and gets even harder when a new snake is found, because then you have to make a complete inventory of the animal, which includes counting lots of scales.
In short - a really nice and interesting start for this year! :-)
