Graduation time!

Tomorrow (Thursday 22nd of May) at noon, the time has come. After a six-year period of studying at my university, I’m about to graduate. I’m actually kind of nervous right now, even though I should be lying in bed sleeping. Blegh. It’s one of very few times I’m nervous about presenting, and it especially strikes me as odd, as I

After a period of 192 days, a new government has been formed under the supervision of Yves Leterme, which had to cope with a huge amount of concessions. The agreement was almost non-functional as both sides were dug in deep. Today, and in the short week hereafter, this might

No more winter

Today, I put away the winter-headers, and restored the original headers on top of every page on this blog. The sun is shining generously over here, and with temperatures quietly reaching over 20 degrees Celsius, the wintery images are not quite suiting the weather. 😉

Relocation

Recetly, you might have exerienced some sluggishness and a hickup. Timmo: sorry I lost your reply! Due to a migration of this site to a new and improved install of the server, with more secure versions of PHP and mySQL, some mishaps occurred with the old system. A DB had to be put back from the backup, and thus I
