Marc Giombetti’s blog about computer science and lifestyle.
While surfing through the web, instead of writing some assignments for university, I just discovered a new search engine: the eco friendly search engine.
According to the Ecocho website:
Ecocho is a new search engine trying to make a difference for climate change.
For every 1000 searches users make on Ecocho we’ll counter balances or “offset” up to a ton of greenhouse gases. We do this by sponsoring two trees via advertising on the site.
Oh mein Gott… dachte ich als ich mir eben die Aufzeichnung der Kochsendung Lafer! Lichter! Lecker! vom 05.04.2008 angesehen habe. In der besagten Sendung kochen Luxemburgs Außenminister und Vize-Premier Jean Asselborn und der Deutsche Außenminister Dr. Frank-Walter Steinmeier bei Lafer und Lichter. Das Kochspektakel artet etwas ins Chaos aus und so kommt es neben der Verwechslung von Puderzucker und Salz, “noch milden” Waffeln und missglückten Erklärungsversuchen darüber was Judd mat Gaardebounen ist zum Schluss doch tatsächlich, und nicht zuletzt dank der 2 Sterne Köche zu einem präsentablen Menu.

This afternoon I was at the Allianz Arena to watch the soccer game of the Erste Deutsche Bundesliga between FC Bayern Munich and VfL Bochum. The stadium was completely sold out (69000 places) and there was a good atmosphere from the beginning on, even though the FCB fell behind 0:1 after several minutes. I took several photos and I filmed the opening and a penalty kick for the FCB. I attached some of the pictures to this article and uploaded the videos to Youtube. The final score of the game: FC Bayern Munich - VfL Bochum 3:1 (1:1).

Wie versprochen werde ich auch mal auf Deutsch bloggen, also hier mein erster deutscher Blogeintrag: Diese Woche habe ich mir ein neues Spielzeug gegönnt, das Nokia E51. Ich will an dieser Stelle nicht unbedingt über die Vorzüge des Nokia E51 referieren und das Handy im Detail erklären, vielmehr will ich ein kleines Tutorial bereit stellen, wie man einen VPN Client auf dem Nokia E51 installiert und wie man sich mit einem VPN Netz verbindet. Da ich für die Installation und Konfiguration des VPN-Clients keine ordentliche Beschreibung im Internet gefunden habe und einige Zeit investiert hab, dachte ich mir ich schreib dieses Turorial inkl. Screenshots um Ihnen die Installation zu erleichtern.
Today I traveled from Luxembourg back to Munich because I have to do some stuff before the lectures at university re-begin in two weeks. I was happy to see that my flat was still standing after a month of absence, but I was very surprised that some old warehouses on the other side of the street were torn down, thus giving me a new balcony view on the Olympiaturm and one some “unrevealed” surroundings.
I am also already looking forward on Sunday, where I will attend a soccer game of the FC Bayern against VfL Bochum in the Allianz Arena. Even though I am not such a big soccer fan and I do not have a favorite team on Sunday, I am eager to see a hopefully nice game of excellent soccer in an awesome stadium. I will let you know how it wasls and provide you with some pictures.
After several months of very few updates on Giombetti.com, I have decided to give my website a revival and a new touch. The website changed from a rather static page to a blog, and I will update it regularly (Or at least, I’ll give it a try) by writing what I am concerned about at that moment. But first I give you some information of what I have done so far and what you can expect to read on this website in the future.
To begin with: Which language will I be blogging in? As you might already have expected, I will mainly be blogging in English; not at least to have a bigger audience. Nevertheless some articles might be in German, or even in my native language Luxemburgish, too.
What will I write about? I will write about software development, my studies of computer science at the TU Munich, travelling, music, lifestyle and fun. To start with, I have already posted some pictures of my trips to Paris and Vienna. Furthermore I updated my Curriculum Vitae and I adopted content from the previous version of this website: mainly articles and pieces of software I have written and I want to share with you. I will also write about my new home Munich, and supply you with pictures of springtime in this awesome city.
Further new features of this website allow it to comment every blog entry and you can stay informed on new posts by subscribing to an 
RSS-Feed.
First of all, this post might not be what you expected it to be 
In this post I want to show my readers some pictures Philipp and I took on our trip to Paris. We were visiting Steve, who spends his Erasmus year in Paris, France.
Despite the weather, we were heaving a great time and fully enjoyed the French way of life, with lots of excellent wine, cheese and French chanson music. In the photo album, you will find pictures which reflect the beauty and the soul of the French capital.
