Back from Haarlem

Sat, 09/28/2002 - 12:52pm

Boekhandel H. de VriesWe came back from a really nice game-demonstration. The shop we were in -boekhandel de Vries- is a big bookshop in the center of Haarlem. There were a lot of people coming in, and we explained many games.

I learned how to explain In De Ban Van de Ring today; I played it once with Jerry and Marjolein but that was a long time ago. We didn't bring the game ourselves, but a girl came by who asked if we could explain it. I told her I couldn't because we didn't have it, but then she went home and fetched her own.

Petra also came to see us; she played a game De Hobbit. After all this games we really want to play ourselves... so when Steven comes, he'll have no choice :)

    Congratulations, Google!

    GoogleGoogle is celebrating it's 4th anniversary today.

    They are now the most popular search engine on the web, and still growing in popularity. A feature they are currently testing is their news website, a digest of about 4000 news sources. The cool thing is that it's generated automatically, without any human intervention.

    If you could try it: please do. We're still thinking about which movie to see tonight, so suggestions are very welcome!

    Sex in the City

    Thu, 09/26/2002 - 4:03am

    Okay, okay... I'm at work now but I just couldn't help noticing this interesting article on CNN.com.


    There will be a sex-museum in New York! Big news of course. The museum in Amsterdam is also briefly mentioned.

    3rd assignment

    Wed, 09/25/2002 - 10:58am

    ABP before and after bcg_min

    I've been working on the 3rd assignment of Formal Methods today.

    The assignments basically involve describing various systems in a formal language, and then generating a state-space of it. There are a number of tricks to reduce this state-space, while some properties will still hold. This way it's easy to prove certain behaviour.

    Just came back from Ettie, working on some physics... I must admit I forgot a lot. Newton's Laws have never been my best subject really.

    British parliament also online

    Tue, 09/24/2002 - 12:00pm

    Like I wrote about a week ago, the Dutch parliament can be viewed online.

    Accidentally I found out that the British Parliament also has such a webcam, see here. Quote from today's debate: "terrorism is wicked and must be stopped".
