Coen’s blog

So this is a nice one. Just back from my holidays and a short week before starting my new job the CEO of the company calls me to tell me that I’m not needed anymore (anymore? I didn’t even work a single second, but whatever). That’s kind of a bummer but hey, I made a backup plan and that’s what I’m going to execute right now.

And actually, I’m very excited about it. The thing is, next September I’m going to give the master Biomedical Image Sciences a try. Maybe as soon as next week, I’ll have an appointment with the programme coordinator and see how I can get started.

That also means that I’ve to look out for an additional job to earn myself some money to pay for the tuition fees so if any of you have any idea’s, you’re welcome

Well, I’ve been quiet for some time now and today I decided that it was time to write about something else than programming, for a change. For the last 3.5 weeks I’ve been traveling through Thailand and I thought it would be nice if I shared my experience a little with y’all so there we go:

Wat Phra Kaew, Bangkok

Panorama from Vertigo, Bangkok

Waterfall at Erawan National Park

Muay Thai matches in Chang Mai

Giant Panda in Chang Mai Zoo

Wat Mahathat, Chang Mai

Idyllic view from our guesthouse in Koh Pangan

And that’s it. Completely for free for you to get jealous about.

After we spent out first holiday-week in Portugal, we decided to spend the second week in Eersel, The Netherlands. I must tell you, it’s a relief being here. And not just for the quiet environment (there’s lots of that over here), but also in case you forget to bring something, because you can go back and grab it. Maybe, if you already know me, you know that I tend to forget stuff. So to keep the legend going, I also forgot something this time (I don’t know exactly what it was again, but it had something to do with sleeping at a decent temperature).

You guys have no idea how lucky I was this time, because my girlfriend also brought stuff to sleep nice and warm, so I didn’t have to go back The only thing I have to do next time is prepare (as in creating a list of things that I have to bring, and actually take them with me).

That’s all for now folks, see you next time!

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!

Some time ago I was thinking about writing down my daily and programming experiences on some kind of web-log. And there I am, writing my first blog entry. Problem is however, I tried this more than once, and it took me a really short while to stop again. I hope this time lasts way longer, because I also plan to use it as some kind of archive for myself (diary sounds silly, right?)
So, in good faith I say “good luck to myself”
