One Bourbon, One Scotch and One Beer

While the cover charge at A Wee Dram of Scotch will only get you two of those things being in the UK I would probably go for the Scotch and Beer, leaving the Bourbon for another day.

Working with Calendar Weeks

It's become apparent to me that Germans love the calendar week. Until moving to Germany I never really paid attention to what week of the year it was.

Knowing the current date was challenging enough (High School was an interesting time for me). But I just can't get the hang of the "KW" (Kalendar Woche). I even installed a tricked out Google Calendar that includes the calendar week for a helping hand.

In programming CFML I never really had to worry about it either since CF comes with a handy week() function, which by the way is flawed according to my German colleagues as there are only 52 weeks per year! But that's another story.

Eventually I hope to get the hang of it like I'm learning the German Language. Hopefully I get the hang of the whole week number thing quicker than the Language.

BTW this is week 34.
