Weekend Middenmeer

Mieke going for the first place.Yesterday afternoon we went to Gerrie's birthday in Opperdoes.

In the evening we played -surprisingly- a few games. It has to be mentioned: Mieke won the 2nd Steden & Ridders!

Today I'll read a bit. From the library I have a compilation of essays on politics. It's called "de Kwetsbare Democratie" and contains a wide variety of articles from Adam Smith, Aristoteles, Marx etc.

Article on Haskell

Research tools: books, laptop, coffee.I think I found a second design-method to investigate. There's a really interesting article on using Haskell as a high-level design language for Co-Design.


During the last weeks I found a number of papers, and it's very useful to spent a whole day only reading them.

Sinterklaas evening

Yesterday evening we celebrated Sinterklaas. As every year we had a wonderful evening.

Sinterklaas!

St. Nicolaas.Tonight we'll be celebrating Sinterklaas with Ettie, Gerben and my parents in Middenmeer. We've prepared a number of poems, decorated presents and nice things for it. The preparations are of course part of the fun.

Sinterklaas is a Dutch traditional festivity. If you like to know more about it read for example this excellent introduction to Sinterklaas and the traditions around it. There is also a lot of information on the website of the Dutch Ministery of Foreign Affairs.


It's nice to see that so many people celebrate Sinterklaas in the Netherlands. Here's a story about children on a Dutch school in the UK celebrating Sinterklaas (in Dutch). It's from the newspaper Trouw, that has another interesting article on the history of Sinterklaas.

Star Wars Asciimation

C3PO.There are many computer people addicted to the Star Wars movies. And although I'm not one of them I like this link Mats send me.


It's a small Star Wars movie, but made using only ASCII characters. The guy making this has been working on it since 1997...


The homepage of the creator is here.

Orphan Nigerian Prince

Everybody knows about the famous e-mails coming from Nigeria of 'troubled business men' who are in a 'temporary difficult position' but with loads of money on a foreign bank account, if only...


Here's a guy who actually wrote back to one of this e-mails, this time from a 'poor young African orphan Nigerian Prince'. Funny read. (through Tonie).

Two years at Chess & Net.Footworks

Today it's 2 years ago since I started working at Net.Footworks.


Tibor started working there a few months earlier and he recommended it when I told him I was looking for a part-time job. The first time I saw everybody was at an extremely dull XML-course. However, everybody agreed that it was a boring course and the work they described sounded promising. After some talking I started working December 4th, 2000 for two days a week.
