A week after the ice

A week after I made these pictures there is no ice anymore in the Spaarne.

In the Nieuwe Gracht you can still see some ice though (click on 'Read More' for a picture).

Christmas at Chess

Unfortunately the appointment in Eindhoven didn't go on. Today I'm reading "Computers as Components" by W. Wolf, about embedded computing system design.


The building here is decorated for Christmas. Some quick pictures.

Scenario

Artist impression of scenario 1: a traffic lights controller.Yesterday and today I've been thinking about a scenario to use for my internship. It shouldn't be too complicated (due to limited time) but at the same time it must be complex enough to make comparisons of the various methods possible.


My current plan is to make a small-scale traffic light controller: a crossing of two roads with tiny traffic lights that are operated using the system I'll develop.


I spoke with my supervisors at Chess today and they liked it, although it still needs some refinement. Tomorrow afternoon I'll go to Chess in Eindhoven to meet a few people there.

Aïda!

Aïda.Yesterday evening we saw Aïda -- and what a magnificient show! The voices, music, decors and actors were all great. We had a wonderful evening.


The show took about 2,5 hours and we were home around 1:30 o'clock. There is a fan website that has a very nice Flash intro that shows a few highlights of the evening.

To Aïda

Tonight we'll go to the musical Aïda, in the Circustheater in Scheveningen. I'm really looking forward to it.

Mieke gave us tickets for the musical (thanks a lot!). I just read the story, it's rather complicated but everybody says it's a great show.

Rapport Fortuyn online

Fortuyn rapport.A while ago I've spent some time looking for an online version of the Srebrenica report. There is a special website about this (huge) report but the whole version is only for sale in bookstores.


However, the report on Fortuyn's security is completely online, a few hours after it's official presentation. You can find it here.

Three methods found

I have now 3 methods to investigate for my internship:


  1. Polis (Esterel)
  2. SDL
  3. ForSyDe (Haskell)

Today I gave an informal presentation about these methods and my internship schedule (PDF or Powerpoint). My ambition is to be ready with my internship in week 11 (March 14th, 2003). Tomorrow I'll look for a decent scenario to use, so that Wednesday I can start with the first method.
