Yes, I do speak other languages…

Hello and welcome to my English-speaking readers!

I made a special category for postings in the English language so from now I will occasionally write something intended for a more widespread audience…
This blog was originally intended to be about GermanAlice, the German version of the popular Alicebot. Since the mailing lists’ lingua franca is English, I decided not to exclude a large portion of the Alice-community any longer and maybe show them bits of my world besides the development of talking machines…

The blog is titled “School – Education – Educational Sciences – Psychology – Violence – The world of madness”.
Over time I will gradually explain why I chose this title.

A brief explanation for now:

I studied to be a school teacher for philosophy and the English language, worked in the university’s department of educational sciences for a while, specialised in educational psychology with focus on more severe disorders such as Borderline and similar personality disorders and juvenile violence, school shootings and the likes, did some research, published some stuff, got a deep insight into the German education system…and you know what they say…what was seen cannot be unseen…

Today, I’m a happy freelancer and I teach the English language to anyone who wants to learn it…I do freelance work for some schools and I have contracts with some firms in the area…

So don’t expect any highly scientific stuff here, I mainly use this book as a means of stress-and-anger-relief whenever Germany and the Germans drive me up the wall again…

Slowest blog on earth

When I switched to WordPress 3.0 I installed a new version of the “WP Super Cache” Plugin. The authors have added a feature which provides static files for Google Pagespeed to improve the rating. Ironically, after enabling this feature Google now rates my blog “slower than 100% of the websites”…I think the cache may need

Psychology: Autism and Asperger’s

about 3 months ago - 1 comment

On the able2able website I just saw a call for bloggers about the subject of Asperger’s and Autism. Since I haven’t written a serious entry in a while, I’d like to seize the opportunity and write a serious article from a psychological point of view rather than from a parent’s or patient’s point of view.

Lena Meyer Landrut – Germany can do better than that

about 3 months ago - 8 comments

Some of you might have noticed, there is a thing called the “Eurovision Song Contest” to be held in Oslo from May 25th until May 29th. You might also have noticed Germany’s finalist Lena Meyer Landrut. You might also have noticed her semi-spastic “dance” style and her pronunciation being…err…sub-standard… My prediction “Germany – zero points”…
