Ghosts in the office

Last time I already announced that I want to add some photos to this blog – e.g. to show you our office life or to introduce some of our staff. But sadly, the office ghost did not only hide one of our two LCD projectors very well, it did so with our small digi-cam, too. And Pius needs the big one for the Black Member Party in Munich this weekend.

So I have to say sorry for this time and promise that I will add photos soon! My up to know only real idea is that I could take some person working for PokerStrategy.com – like someone from the IT whom you normally do not meet in news or forums –, take a few photos and talk to him and do a kind of mixed office life and interview blog post here. If you got better suggestions, go on!

Besides that, I think that I will have to improve my overall blogging quality. A poll on our German page showed that I seem to be the least attractive board of our main PokerStrategy.com blogs. Sad :(

But partially I blame it on the language and the fact that I'm ranked really low on the German blog overview and because of that, many people rarely ever visit me. But I see it as a challenge – arrr!

Cooking Duel 

In fact, there is something I can write about. Last sunday, we did a 2 vs. 2 cooking duel. Teams were:

Tom (Tech Lead)
Marcus (Business Administration)
vs.
Rebecca (Marcus' girlfriend)
Lutz (me)

As I expected, it was not an easy, but a clear victory!
The jury was composed of all four combattants (we tend to be honest ;)) plus Fenris and my girlfriend Nadia. We won 14-9 in score in this close fight. The system we use is as follows: each team buys a basket of ingredients which the other team has to cook with. Of course you can make it difficult that way for the opposite team, but in the end, you want to eat it yourself – so you stay fair.

If you're interested, I'd also describe the ingredient packages and what we created out of it, but right now I do not want to strech your audience too much. Have a good night!
