Two years ago I wrote about Wong Kar-Wai's wonderful romance In The Mood For Love, where a man and a woman, played by Tony Leung and Maggie Cheung, having a melancholy, platonic affair.
This year Wong Kar-Wai brought back the same people for a film about HongKong in the year 2046.

Surely we can't wait to see Maggie Cheung in Christopher Doyles Camera.

mov, summer quarter, good bye Marokkanergasse, scheduling and OR

• As shown at derbaum.com, I brought back some fun movie clips: Wiesenski, Caribbean and The Secret Ingredient.
• During this summer (June 20th till Aug 17th) I'm going back to Stanford to study Physics.
• That's why I give up my apartment in Marokkanergasse. It was good place, but now I have to move on.
• Currently I'm working on an LP on scheduling, which I may inlcude in future version of Caltella. In short, this should find an optimal schedule for one or more person, regarding a certain task, with the goal to maximise spare time.
• Looking at the above task, the field of Operation Research seems very interesting to me. A field where I can combine my interst in math, economics and computer science.
