Coping with public and private transport since 2001
If all goes well today, I’m due to hand in my thesis this afternoon, around 3pm. About 4 to 6 weeks after that, I will graduate after a graduation-session, where my supervisors will try to ask all kinds of tough questions. I’m looking forward to it! 🙂 Until then, I’ll be working at Ordina. My first week is also nearing
Continue readingWhoa, that feels nice! I’m (finally) done waiting for the approval for my graduation! I’ve set up an appointment to deal with all the bureaucratic hassle that has to be dealt with at the university, but I’m not going to change a single letter of my thesis anymore. Done! yay! *celebrates* Update (2008-04-07): I’ve had to reschedule the appointment to
Continue readingThis kind of sums up the last week. I asked my supervisors at the university to accept the semi-final version to be the final version, for me to hand the thesis in officially and to finally graduate. It now is over a week since I received any communication from my first supervisor, so I’m getting anxious. Trust me, I’ve tried
Continue readingAs of today, your most favorited blogger is back. I went AWOL last week, to rest a bit and generally do a whole lot of nothing. So I did, and today I returned to the daily business of travelling to and from Nieuwegein. I’m really nearing completion of the thesis, so I’ll be posting updates soon!
Continue readingSince this monday, we’ve been forced to vacate the flexplekken that have been my workspace ever since I started working on my thesis. Now, we have moved to the first floor in the buidling, and have taken up residency in what is called a ‘loungespot’. Yes, productivity is as high as usual. 😉 Take a look, and be amazed at

This latter is accomplished by saying something really silly, under the disguise of a "proefballonnetje". Such a weird proposal is,
Continue readingSince it already is the 18th of December, I’m telling you, my precious readers, the thesis is nearing completion. There still are major loads of work to do, and since my thesis coordinator at the university (again) is away for some time next week it’ll be a mad dash to the end. Wish me luck here, at least I’ve rested
Continue readingWow, with Sinterklaas on our doorsteps, it cannot be long before the merry days at the end of the year will commence. I’m already getting hammered with Christmas advertisements, and it will only intensify over the next few weeks. Over here, a gentleman’s agreement has been made amongst store-holders to only start advertising Christmas inside their stores and in the
Continue readingThe first of November is a milestone date for me. It’s only 2 short months away from the deadline for my master thesis, and I’m kind of shaky acknowledging this. So far, I’m still going as planned, with my thesis progressing as scheduled. My portal quality framework is taking shape real quick and the validation stage is near. I’ll be
Continue readingAnd I mean it! Especially if you’re a good-sounding as I am now, with my clogged nose and lovely nasal voice. 😉 However, considering the above, I’m currently doing my job well. At least, according to my supervisor(s) and co-workers here at Ordina. To underline this, they’ve tried to make my thesis better by handing me some more theoretical frameworks
