Jeroen van Wolffelaar: Phase change
It's done: today I heard about the last (passing) mark for the last course
I need to follow for my Master in
Applied Computing Science, at Utrecht
University: a paper about RFID security and privacy as part of the Cryptography course.
Besides some small paper still due for (ahum) my Bachelor, the
only thing left is my thesis with associated research. Today I got an
invitation for my first working day at ORTEC in Gouda, next month, where I'll be
doing research (and implementation) on some exciting new route planning
algorithms. It'll require some getting used to it, five days a week, 8 hours a
day, for the rest of the year. One of the biggest challenges will be getting
up in time every single day, but I'm sure I'll be fine with that
eventually. I have confidence that the interesting research will make up for
it completely!
Already this Friday I'll be going to FOSDEM with Thijs, partly by train, and partly hitchhiking
a ride from Joost. Too bad my laptop
practically died... But reading mail etc. not the most important thing in
FOSDEM, you can do that at home too I hope to meet yet
again a whole lot of old and new Debian people over there.
For the first time
in 3 years no talk from me, other duties took too much time lately. I'll
need to discover how much time I'll be able to spend on Debian as a full-time
employee, but I think it'll make it easier for me to divide my time: I really
missed doing Debian stuff from time to time, and I need to fix up a number of
neglected areas real soon now.
Good night!
This weekend, like past years, I'm off to the
