Our dorm's pool

Who could ever claim that Stuttgart's student dormitories aren't luxurious? Not only has the Pfaffenhof dorm on the campus Vaihingen a sauna, it also has a swimming pool for the warmer seasons. Well, it wouldn't be big enough if you actually tried to swim in there, but it's a pool after all. Naturally it attracts huge quantities of water which in turn gets distributed all over the corridors downstairs by its users and thus might not be all that fancy if it starts raining in front of your apartment one day.
I guess it's a privilege as only our house got one and it's not as publicly available as other people might want it to be. If only I could overcome myself and use it one day...

Update: Google maps' image data got refreshed. Now that it's winter there's no pool visible.

fah top 1000

I never thought it was possible to reach the top 1000 Folding@home teams with our little dorm group - but here we are: http://fah-web.stanford.edu/teamstats/team70659.html
This proves that buying a PS3 isn't necessary for now - a quadcore CPU and a G80 GPU should satisfy my needs until I need a bluray player.
