I’m nearly famous
My PhD research is being sponsored by the NWO Council for the Astronomical, Mathematical and Computer Sciences (Exacte Wetenschappen), on the Computational Science programme.
A year ago, we had the Kick-off meeting for this programme, at the CWI in Amsterdam, and last week we had the second meeting, at the TU Eindhoven this time.
Someone was being very active with his digital camera, and a lot of pictures were taken during the day.
On the Computational Science site, a gallery has been set up with a small number of photographs from both of these meetings.
Among these 12 pictures, yours truly has found himself twice already!
Miserable failure
Try this: search google for “miserable failure”. If you click “I’m feeling lucky”, you are sent directly to the first search result, being (at the time of writing) this page!
Yes, that is the Biography of President George W. Bush at the official White House site.
Update: Well, apparently, this is called google bombing.
A new action has already been started, directed towards the Dutch prime minister.

My good friend Vincent has been blogging for about half a year now, and he pointed me to the new weblog of one of our mutual friends, Arjan, who launched his weblog Van16hoog.nl just a week ago. Enjoy!
I’ve been Revolutions
Last Friday, my girlfriend and I went to see The Matrix Revolutions.
Yes… well… what can I say?
I had to see it, of course. I had seen the other two, so I wanted to see this one too. But it’s disappointing! No, not the special effects, those are great, as expected. But the story – it’s just too easy… It’s a shame, maybe they should’ve just stopped after the first one.
