The intersting researcher next door to my office is Tristan Miller, and we didn't talk much. Didn't know much about him, but I just saw his homepage
http://www.nothingisreal.com/home

and his cool guide for sauerkraut writers like me - which is real useful.

Thats to do sunday night, reading the homepages of other researcher, I have to go to bed...
