Year: 2007

It took a while…

But then it became clear to all of us: our professor is just trying to get our possible findings published! (And he is right too! 😀 ) Anyway, today we had the group-session in which the semi-definitive object became clearer. As an assignment for again a group session next week we are to fiddle about with several programs and some

Group sessions are ahead

Tomorrow is a big day in the seminar: it’s the day the groups (3 in total) all have separate, semi-individual while in a group, sessions with our professor. Here, we have to lay out our strategy to tackle the problem posed in the first part of the class: How to translate an XBRL-document into an OWL-document. We’ve been reading a

Making my life easier

While computers themselves are meant to make life easier for us humans, they also create a lot of extra problems, including some luxury-problems. Today, I was having at least one of the last category: I wanted to add an image to a post. In WordPress (this blogsoftware) it can be done, but is far from easy. No thumbnails could be

They immediately sent me (in PDF) the concerned chapters and I’m feeling happy with my (now complete) XBRL book. Thanks for the swift reply E&Y!

Minor updates on the blog

After some patient work with my favorite photo-editing program, I’ve finally come to an acceptable and well cropped set of photos to show as header on this very blog. They say all good comes in threefold; I’ve doubled that number: there’s six new header images to gleam upon. I’m always open for comments and very proud to say all displayed

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

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 🙂
