nothing special … just a lousy pic of my dessert today.

After learning for nearly 2 1/2 months now, my mind goes on strike. Words start to become meaningless rows of letters after a while. There’s hardly any difference between my brain and my dessert anymore!
Little more than a week and I’m done for this semester, finally! Hopefully the weather will be more like spring by then.
I’ll try to wobble some more nondestructive testing into my jelly-brain.
Cheers, Tim.

Hey there …
To let you know what I’m doing at the uni, I posted a few pictures of the laboratories for non-destructive testing.

This is me, pictured by an infraredcamera; I guess those structures at the side of my forehead are veins.

These are the inner structures of my mobile-phone, x-rayed from behind.

The left picture shows a standard photo of the nosepart of some wing. The right shows the same part in ultrasound exited thermography, where the defect (a small crack between two rivets) shows up in white because it radiates heat.
Aside this we are preparing for the final presentation of our airliner-design and the last few days I started preparing for the tests coming up in the next months.
G’day everyone,
Tim.

Hey everyone …
Lately I managed to decide on a new monitor. After reading quite a few tests, I chose to order a Hyundai L90D+

replacing my old blurry Eizo T662 tube, which I had bought used three or four years ago.

It’s amazing how well logistics can work! It took less than 24 hours from clicking the “buy” button till the delivery guy rang at my door.
Aside that not much new to tell, my friends and I finished the work at the airliner design contest and handed in a report of 160 pages. After the final presentation I will put the paper online, for those interested in our work.
So far, have a good time!
Tim
