- One more day of work, and I will have holidays;
- Three more days, and I will drive to Holland;
- Nine more days, and my (our) life will change forever;
- Eleven more days, and I will be packing again;
- Thirteen more days, and I will take the plane to Bangkok;
- Probably twenty-eight more days before I will publish on this site again.
See you later!
Ik ben dus nummer 22 en doe bij deze de splitsing die door Lijn en David gemaakt was weer ongedaan!
Misverstanden alom! Ik dacht nummer 22 te wezen, maar die was al vergeven op Davids's site. Daarom gaan we maar voor nummertje 25, leuk nummer overigens... Voor de geïnteresseerden, Mieke was nummer 24.
Voor verdere uitleg, zie Punkey.
An SGML fan, an XML fan, and an HTML fan are watching a movie when they notice smoke coming out of a trashcan.
The SGML fan says "We must convince the theater management to hire an expert to write a DTD for emergency-announcements, and sell them an expensive application for archiving announcements, and get them to hire a team to convert all their old announcements to SGML!"
The XML fan says, "There's no time for that! We must train all the audience members to recognise XML, and then start a committee to investigate the possibility of starting negotiations to form a working group to write a paper on the future evolution of emergency-announcement semantics!"
Meanwhile, the HTML fan takes out his wireless PDA and types in:
<h1><blink><font color="red">FIRE!</font></blink></h1>
which he quickly hacks the digital projection system to display, saving the lives of everyone in the theater.

The Classic IQ Test Watch out, they want your data!
Congratulations, Jeroen!
Your IQ score is 136This number is based on a scientific formula that compares how many questions you answered correctly on the Classic IQ Test relative to others.
Your Intellectual Type is Visionary Philosopher. This means you are highly intelligent and have a powerful mix of skills and insight that can be applied in a variety of different ways. Like Plato, your exceptional math and verbal skills make you very adept at explaining things to others — and at anticipating and predicting patterns. And that's just some of what we know about you from your IQ results.
I wonder how they are able to tell something about my verbal skills based on an on-line test. What's Your IQ?
Six months ago I set some targets for myself for this year. Now that I am halfway the year, it is time to evaluate my progress:
- learn to speak Spanish
- My Spanish is definitely better, simply because I have been using it some months more. I planned to study more structurally, but so far I haven't spent a single minute doing this. There's still work to do on this one.
- say "ja"
- I am on schedule on this one; I expect to finish this task in 36 days.
- call old friends
- I have more contact with my old friends in Holland than I had last year. However, for my feeling it can be even better.
- finish work in the house
- The plans have been made, now all we have to do is say to eachother to start. I still have hope.
- be less afraid of risks
- This is the most vague item on the list, and I don't know how I can 'measure' the result. My feeling tells me that it hasn't changed much.
- think about the future
- My plans for the near future ---2--3 years--- are ready. But what do I want with the rest of my life?????
- spend more time in the nature
- For several reasons, we haven't made as many excursions as we would like. Now that summer has come, the only nature we can visit is the Mediteranian Sea. This item has been postponed to autumn.
- learn to program in python.
- Not started yet...
All in all I have the feeling that at 50% of the year I haven't reached 50% of my aims.
