I went to give demonstrations of games in the V&D Amsterdam-Noord, at the Buikslotermeerplein. Sasha went to the V&D in Amstelveen.

It was a nice day. Had great lunch in La Place.

Van Gogh museum

Fri, 02/21/2003 - 6:11pm

Van Gogh Museum.We spent the afternoon in the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam. Really very worth seeing; there's now a special exhibition on the artists and authors that inspired Van Gogh in his own work.

In the evening Jaap and Mieke came for dinner, and we played a game as well.

Wonderful music, hilarious movie.

Incredible amount of car-crashes, too.

UN resolution 1441

Thu, 02/20/2003 - 4:10pm

As we discussed the subject a couple of times last week, I thought it might be interesting to read the original UN resolution 1441.

Although quite formal, it's surprisingly readable for this type of document I think. The structure is classic:

Study advisor

Wed, 02/19/2003 - 5:32am

Vrije Universiteit.It had been a while since I was at the VU. Quite nice to see that the computerrooms have improved a lot -- there are now flatscreens in most of the rooms.

First I spoke with Mr. Van Wouwe, my study advisor. After all, I'm almost done with my internship.Before I can graduate officially I still have to do 1 more course. However, I really want to start working at Chess per March 1st.

Therefore I'm really happy that Mr. Van Wouwe told me about a course that I can still join. It is basically a practical assignment: Internet Programming. It's about the technologies I've been using at Net.Footworks for two years, and of course in Guus Bosman.nl; I don't expect it to be very hard.

After this I went to see Ralf; he had a lot of valuable remarks. Looks like I'll be able to finish the very biggest part of my paper before March 1st, so that's nice to hear. I also saw an old classmate again, Michiel. He's now working for the VU at a project.

Now I'll see Jennie, then in a hurry back to Haarlem to have lunch.

Fire at the Adriaan?

Tue, 02/18/2003 - 3:16pm

When we had dinner we saw flash-lights and smoke on the Adriaan. First we thought somebody is shooting pictures, but it turns out to be a training for the firebrigade. I suppose the flash is for the pictures that are meant for this website.

Iraq, Chirac and Bulgaria

Tue, 02/18/2003 - 12:40pm

Mr. Chirac is very unhappy about the pro-American stands of many East-European countries. Yesterday evening at the EU emergency meeting he called Bulgaria's behavior "childish":

Mr. Chirac.
"They missed a great opportunity to shut up," he chided the candidates, and their pro-US stance could feed public hostility to EU expansion. Their position is already very delicate, he said, and if they wanted to diminish their chances of joining the EU they could not have chosen a better way. "When you are in the family ... you have more rights than when you are asking to join and knocking on the door," he said.

Morning smile

Tue, 02/18/2003 - 7:00am

A poster made me smile when I walked to Chess: "What are your plans for the new cabinet?"

I wrote about Loesje before.

Would you mind not using my vote endlessly?
