Feeling flabbergasted

Until now I’ve never had a good feeling when talking about ‘the corporations’ when it comes to IT consulting companies. I’ve always had the impression they were only after the money, and nothing else mattered.
Until this week that is.

During my seminar, our professor handed out a copy of a chapter of a little book written by an accountant over at E&Y and I was curious about the rest of the book. So I started my search on the internet to find this book, but it was nowhere to be found, except for a small announcement that it was to be ordered from the author himself, and an email-address was given along ith a phonenumber.
Being bald I decided to send the good man an email asking for (a copy) of his book, and a day later there the reply was: I just had to send him my credentials and it was going to be sent to me!

And today I found this in my mailbox (clickable):

Erg groot

Huge thanks to T Vreeburg over at Ernst & Young for supplying me with a copy of his book. Great!

The wednesday came to an end

Yeah right, me trying to convince myself we’d be finished today with the XBRL-stuff.
Most definately not working this way.

Tomorrow we have to attend another class which also guarantees us with enough work, and after that I’ve got to go to work. So very little will be done regarding school I guess…
Oh well, there’s always tomorrow :)

Finally, some action over here!

As of today, which is Wednesday over at my biological clock; however I’m still awake since Tuesday, I’ll be posting regular updates on one of my classes this trimester.
It’s the “Seminar” at which we were asked to study a big task, converting an XBRL-document into an OWL-document.

Therefore, we were asked to create several documents to enhance our knowledge of XML, XBRL, OWL and Ontologies. Which we did.
Until now we’ve created the XML v1.0 final document and are hard at work with the XBRL-document, it’s current revision is 0.3. We hope to be ready by tomorrow.

Which I will post shortly.
I hope.
