On Saturday I went to the Ulster museum for a lecture I’ve had registered for. It was about cartography in the past times, and was held by a doctor who presented his own scientific work. He and one of his students created a map where Ireland was displayed with a grid overlay on it and other different informations in unique representations. The overlay was an abstract way to show the deviation between todays exact data and the old map they took as base. He explained different philisophical meanings of maps and talked about how (with trigonometry and walking down the landscape) they were created. The earliest dated maps displayed Ireland in the 17th century and before that it is even today totally unknown how the people created them (but still they existed). In the last part of the lecture he explained how the old maps are being digitalized and reviewed. All in all it was very interesting and I would like to hear more about the topic. After that I took a quick stroll through the museum, but since it’s very big and I wanted to go to city center to exchange some euros to pounds I only was able to visit 2 sections of it. I planned a more extensive visit for next weekend and I will keep you updated. After leaving the musuem I walked down to the city center and found a possbility to exchange money in the tourist information. On my way back home I went to a bookshop in the Botanic Avenue and spend a few bucks in it. It was specialized in crime novels and is called NO Alibis. It’s just a small shop but it was well frequented and the other costumers had a talk with the salespersons there. When I left it they offered me a few postcards for free and I took them. It was a nice Saturday not at last because of the nice weather and I hope the last weekend will be that nice too.

Hello everyone,

if you had read it in one of my last articles you had read that I will visit the dry dock from the titanic. So now i want to write about it.
It was the biggest and most modern dock at this time and it was very exciting to see and stand in it.
When I was inside it they played the sound from the people which worked there. You can see that a lot of time went by, more and more water intrudes the dock. It’s still okay but it will be interesting to see what it will be like in 50 years.
I recommend it for other people and it is not that expensive.

Hi there!

Yesterday we visited the harbour of Belfast, where we actually wanted to take a guided tour through the Titanic dry dock and the Pump-House at 2 o’clock, but we were a little bit too late and didn’t really know where the tour starts, so we walked around on our own. The Pump-House and the dry dock were very impressive ─ it must have been a very back-breaking job for the dock workers, back then. After the docks I wanted to visit the Titanic Belfast, but Martin and René didn’t want to, so I went in on my own and took my time without any feeling of urgency, since I am a fan of the seafaring and especially of the Titanic’s story. The first part of the exhibition was a general view of the maritime history of Belfast and the construction of the Thompson Graving Dock, which was the largest dry dock in 1911. The next floor refered to the launch of the Titanic. There was a very impressive illustration, where you had an overview over Titanic’s and Olympic’s slipway through a window, with the tracing of the the enormous bow of the Titanic. The next part was about the 3 different passenger classes onboard the Titanic and their interior in the cabins. The last parts were related to the disaster itself, the aftermath and the exploration of Titanic’s wreck, where you could see exclusive footage of the wreck. After that I visited the Lego Brick City exhibition, which is a temporary exhibition in the top floor of the Titanic Belfast museum.

Hi there!

My next idea was to display a popup with some chosen data instead of the whole data set on a new page, when you click on the delete button. Actually I wanted to display the data in the same way as before in the popup, but because the data base access is made by using the child ID, which is part of the page link, that was not possible, since the link itself doesn’t change if you display a popup. So in broad terms we had to refer to the table row in which the delete button was clicked and read out the child ID this way using JavaScript. The next problem was my jQuery script, because it had to be integrated in a script bundle first, to load it properly. My next task will be the Gray Out effect of some delete buttons, because you are only allowed to delete a childs data, if it doesn’t is part of a sponsorship anyway.

Hi there!

After I have familiarized myself with the ASP.NET framework I began to make some changes to the pages. First of all I’ve customized the names shown in the tabs of the browser matching the actual page content, because they were still the default names, which were set by the framework itself. After that I tried to implement an idea of mine, which came into my head when I tested the website before. The details of the sponsored childs are displayed in text fields and if you want to copy them you have to click 3 times in the field to select them. But since text fields are used instead of labels I thought the most likely reason for this is, that the users have to copy these details very often, so it would be more user-friendly if they only have to click once in the text fields. That’s why I wanted to use the onclick attribute, since the element which is generated at the end is an input type field, where I can use an onclick attribute. But I can’t use additional HTML attributes on a DisplayFor funcion, that’s why we had to create an extra Display Template for that task.

Hello everyone,

yesterday started the World Championchip of Soccer and we looked the first game Brasilien against croatia together with Eric and that one guy from the FZS22 class. I think that it was clear that Brasilien wins against croatia but the croation guys played really good and amazed me. In detail brasil won 3:1. and I will have a look to the other games which will follow the example spain against netherlands and columbia against greece.
On monday intern europe invited us to see the soccer game on there flatscreen with some food and in HD so Marco and me want to go there.

Hello everyone,

on Thuersday Eric, Nick,Rene and I went to the Cinema and watched 1 Million Ways to Die in the West because Thuersdays are the prices very low, we olny pay 3£ to enter the movie.
The film was very funny and it was easy to understand for me.
After the film Eric and I went to a restaurant near the cinema(i forgot the name of the restaurant) we wanted to eat something and drunk a beer. We ordered potato edges but what we get was a little joke for 5£ we got nothing

.

At the weekend we will go to the place where the titanic was build because this dock had a lot of records in this time strongest rope, best pumps and things like this.
