After [I spent several hours trying to get to work](/2006/11/01/trip-to-work/) this morning – I spent several hours trying to get back. Everything was fine until I arrived at the central station at about 18:00. Turns out some idiotic students had (again) occupied the central station as a [demonstration against tuition fees](http://de.news.yahoo.com/01112006/12/studenten-besetzen-frankfurter-hauptbahnhof-erste-zusammenfassung.html#) (link in German).

New Phone Number
My mobile phone number has changed. I have sent an email to some of you. If you didn’t get any email and need my new number, please let me know. The reason is that my employer switched to T-Mobile.
