		<title>FreeNOS</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For some time now, I&#8217;ve spent my free time working on an experimental Operating System called FreeNOS (Free Niek&#8217;s Operating System) and it&#8217;s about time I tell you something about it.
FreeNOS was invented by a friend of mine: Niek Linnenbank and is an microkernel OS written in C++, purely for learning purposes. By far the [...]]]></description>

		<title>mv ./job /dev/null</title>
		<description><![CDATA[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&#8217;m not needed anymore (anymore? I didn&#8217;t even work a single second, but whatever). That&#8217;s kind of a bummer but hey, I made a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Holidays</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, I&#8217;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&#8217;ve been traveling through Thailand and I thought it would be nice if I shared my experience a little with y&#8217;all so there we [...]]]></description>

		<title>Finish!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday I had to graduate. I had to do a presentation about the project I&#8217;ve been doing the last couple of months and after that it was time to defend myself. I had to answer a couple of questions about my thesis and about my project, but that all went well. The result of those [...]]]></description>

		<title>Endings and beginnings</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As we all know, at a given moment in time, some things end as other things begin. That&#8217;s also currently happening over here at coen-HQ: I&#8217;m working on the finishing touch of my graduation project and I&#8217;m preparing for the life after that. That means that I&#8217;ve got to do some interviewing for jobs and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Lost in translation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been planning to blog again for some time now, but every time I had some spare time I had nothing interesting to write about. That has changed. In my short experience in working through projects, I noticed that sometimes there are moments &#8216;in between&#8217;. You know, those moments between milestones or something. Well, I&#8217;m [...]]]></description>

		<title>Modeling and code generation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[At my graduation internship at Sogyo I am currently working on an interesting item: researching the currently available modeling and code generation tools, and see if there&#8217;s a way to provide integration between those. There probably are a lot of tools that can generate code, but I&#8217;m focusing on the Eclipse Modeling Framework, Visual Studio [...]]]></description>

		<title>php and ssha ldap passwords</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Although the current semester is almost over, we&#8217;re still working very hard on our project (in Dutch), and today I finished a password reset function for users of the portal. The tricky thing for me is that the user passwords are stored in LDAP, so I had to figure out how to write to a [...]]]></description>

Thing is, I don&#8217;t really have a clue as to how to write this particular post, but there are a few things that I want to mention because I&#8217;m really really really excited about them 
First of, I&#8217;m going to graduate this year, starting February 2nd. I plan to [...]]]></description>

		<title>learning by cheating</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A long time ago, when I still was in high school, I sometimes tried to cheat my way out of some classes (like French, for instance). Of course, after a while, I got reasonably good at it, and that&#8217;s basically how I finished the course. I became more and more bold in other courses too, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Valgrind and it&#8217;s neighbours</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For some time now, I have been working om my messaging client Skaar. Last week I built a version that only can connect to an IRC-server. There&#8217;s still a lot of work to do, but it was time to test and debug my work done so far.
A classmate told me to use valgrind to test [...]]]></description>

		<title>The switch</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A week or so ago, Guy and I decided to switch back from the minor we were doing at Utrecht University. As it turned out, the supposed level of math was so different than my own level, that I couldn&#8217;t keep up with it, so we switched back to Hogeschool Utrecht.
At first I was disappointed [...]]]></description>

		<title>Oops</title>
		<description><![CDATA[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&#8217;s a relief being here. And not just for the quiet environment (there&#8217;s lots of that over here), but also in case you forget to bring something, because you can go back [...]]]></description>

today I decided that I have been &#8216;offline&#8217; 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&#8217;ll stick with the 2 weeks to come, for the sake of my peace of mind and stuff.
Tomorrow at [...]]]></description>

		<title>Minor</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Actually, this is not at all about a minor thing. And on the other hand, it is. I&#8217;m talking about the 7th semester course I&#8217;m going to do at Utrecht University at the Department of Information and Computer Sciences: &#8220;Minor Informatica voor HU&#8221;. This is a minor designed especially for IT students at Hogeschool Utrecht, [...]]]></description>

		<title>HULK all the way</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Busy, busy, busy was the theme of my daily life the last few weeks. And actually, I think that it will be like that until school is finished in the summer break. But, there is some news (and that&#8217;s why I am writing this post. Surprise, huh?). The logbook I wrote about is finally ready [...]]]></description>

		<title>About how school can be enjoyed again</title>
		<description><![CDATA[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&#8230;). Actually, while I&#8217;m writing this I realize that I haven&#8217;t told you anything yet about the HULK (hmm.. weird).
Well, [...]]]></description>

a new notebook (Acer Aspite 5630; at least, that&#8217;s what it says). My old one (HP Pavilion dv1000)  has served it&#8217;s time, and it is time for it to move on to the museum.
I also bought a brand new blue ray dvd player for only 160 [...]]]></description>

		<title>One step at a time</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Some time ago I wrote about some great plans for writing an or-mapping. Well, today, I actually made some progress!
Before I started to write on this code, I divided it in three parts:

Creating Objects
Updating Objects
Deleting Objects

I finished a test version of the first part today. Basically, this is how it works: There is a class [...]]]></description>

		<title>Great plans</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In the 2nd year of my study at the HU we learned about J2EE, in particular EJB. Happy with the general idea of never writing another line of SQL, we started doing our school projects with EJB. However it&#8217;s true that you don&#8217;t write SQL, there is EJB-QL, which looks a darn lot like SQL.
While [...]]]></description>

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 [...]]]></description>
