Coen’s blog

Hi y’all,

today I decided that I have been ‘offline’ long enough, and that I must write a final post before I leave for my holidays: so here it is.
Actually, I have *a lot* to tell, but I’ll stick with the 2 weeks to come, for the sake of my peace of mind and stuff.

Tomorrow at 22.00 local time, we will arrive at Lissabon Airport, from where we will be driven to our bungalow. This year, we (as in my girlfriend and I) decided to go on holidays together with another couple. The first week we’ll spend together, and the second week we will split ways and see each other again at the airport to fly back home.

I think my girlfriend takes a camera with her, so there will be lots and lots of pictures taken, including nice civil looking ones with me in it. As I do not want to bear that burdon alone, I will share some of that pictures with you after I get back, so be prepared!

After we get back from our holidays, the fun begins again at school: I am going to do a minor at the University, as I told before. The downside of that is that once again, I had to change the composition of the courses because some idiot over there found it neccessary to switch some of the courses.
So my actual, final list of courses (at this moment) is as follows:

• Graphics
• Concrete math
• Human Computer Interaction
• Logic and Set Theory

I really look forward to learning all that stuff, because it brings me up to speed for the master I will take after I graduated for my BICT (some kind of BSc).
So folks, that’s it for now, I’m out until August 21th. Good luck and farewell until then!

Finally I have some time to write another post to you, my dear readers!

After starting up the HULK for about a fortnight, we started to bring up ideas for projects (so if anyone has an idea…). Actually, while I’m writing this I realize that I haven’t told you anything yet about the HULK (hmm.. weird).
Well, HULK stands for Hogeschool Utrecht Linux Kennisgroep, and consists of a few classmates and yours truly, who try to give Linux a shot in our university, the Hogeschool of Utrecht. The website is in Dutch, so if you want to follow up on it, you have to be able to read it.

We thought about some really cool projects like building our own Ubuntu distribution, HUbuntu , setting up Linux on mobile devices, teaching Unix, and also some smaller projects like building a logbook to keep track of what we’re doing and to provide student services (SSH access, web servers, database servers, etc.). Apart from that, I’ve started learning c(++), and for practice I’m building an IRC client, called skaar.

Next week, together with Mattijs, I’m starting on the logbook which will be built in PHP, so that we can start logging quickly.

Keeping you posted!
