A morning in Amsterdam

Tue, 09/10/2002 - 8:11am

Went to pick up Daniel from the train. He told us that he would arrive at 9:30 but as always he was late (see also Jerry's comment). Both Richard and Jerry were there. It has been a while since I saw all of them but tonight we'll play games in Jerry's place.

Reading articles

Fri, 09/06/2002 - 4:39am

A fellow-student who is also doing an internship at Chess showed me how to set up a SSH tunnel to the VU proxy. This allows me to access the digital libraries of many organisations (the VU IP addresses are recognized there) to look for papers; extremely useful. I'm basically reading again all day, and waiting for the official confirmation of the examen committee. As soon as that gets in I'll go to the VU and look for a coach for my internship. I'm happy that I can read a lot these days, it's an interesting subject and there is a lot to learn.

Ettie was here for dinner yesterday and Sasha made musaka, very nice. Later we went for a walk... I really love this city.

Hope you're enjoying the speed of the server. I've always known that memory is the most important factor of the performance of a webserver, and this is an excellent example.

Extra memory in the server

Thu, 09/05/2002 - 4:03am

The server now has 48MB instead of 16MB! It's a lot quicker now, the difference is huge...

New hardware coming tomorrow!

Wed, 09/04/2002 - 4:09pm

My father will bring my old collection of computer parts tomorrow morning. There's another Pentium system between it... it would really be nice if I could use the memory chips of that one. Even 4 MB more would already make a difference.
If it would be possible to put even more, we might even get some decent speed for the server! Wow :)

CSP and IOA

Wed, 09/04/2002 - 10:50am

Yesterday and today I've been looking into the difference between two Formal Methods: CSP and IOA. Both are candidates to be used in my internship. I'm exploring what Chess exactly wants from the new language, and what the pros and cons are of the two languages. Quite interesting stuff.
