At Juma

Sat, 03/15/2003 - 6:21am

Juma logo.I'm at JUMA now, working on the reports on 2002.


Five years ago I wrote the payment and inventory software for this shop, and they are still using it every day. It's nice to see how this small project worked out.

Most of the reports are generated automatically each month. The official yearly financial and inventory information need some extra attention, so every year in February or March I'll go there. It's very nice to do, the atmosphere is very friendly and relaxed.

Bugs...

Wed, 03/12/2003 - 3:21am

Bugs at Gamma.It's very difficult to estimate the truth of the allegations Princess Margarita and her husband made.

The so-called proof that the alledged probe was a "screw" is of course simply a publicity stunt (and a smart one I think).

All this family-squabbling looks pretty horrible to me... People are people, no matter how rich they are.

Voting

Tue, 03/11/2003 - 3:44am

It felt a bit weird to go and vote this morning. I was quite sleepy as I've worked till past midnight on my homework assignment... I almost forgot that there were elections today and only when I read "Tuesday March 11" on the voting card I assumed I could go and vote.

What made it made even more strange was that I know only one of the candidates of my party, so there wasn't exactly a lot of choice ;) It's just that these elections have been so little on TV and everything, unlike the previous time.

Programming all weekend

Sun, 03/09/2003 - 4:19pm

I've been programming from 12:00 till 23:00 o'clock yesterday, and today from 9:00 till 22:00 again... The assignments are nice but it's not exactly a weekend feeling.

At the end of the afternoon the computers of the VU stopped functioning, one after another. Nobody seems to be able to login anymore. Luckily enough I still have 1 SSH terminal open. Because FTP connections can not be made either I have to 'upload' my files with a cat > file.c command and copy & paste from the editor to my terminal window.

We saw 'Aan het eind van de aspergetijd' on TV; a movie made from a play. It was excellent, especially the acting.

Arts & Letters Daily

Arts & Daily.A very interesting site is Arts & Letters Daily. It's motto is 'Veritas odit moras' which means 'Truth hates delay'. It contains links to many interesting articles, often about politics.


You can also find such beauties as Why Computers Should be Kept Out of the Classroom or this article of George Orwell on English language and politics.
