In memoriam Mark Hoekstra
Mark Hoekstra, hardwarke hacker and tinkerer extraordinaire, passed away last Friday.
Mark, you will be missed.
Location Identity
Over the past 13 days I’ve been in five different countries. It started by taking the train down to Enschede, from Denmark, through Germany. After spending some time in The Netherlands, I boarded a flight for Brighton, in the UK. I got back to Copenhagen yesterday, and spent a few hours in Malmö, Sweden this evening.
I don’t have a very clear feeling anymore of being in a foreign country. The sense of wonder is gone…
Autumn’s Coming
Travels, Enschede, The Hague, Brighton, Copenhagen, Amsterdam. dConstruct, PICNIC. Toothless Tiger. Supercollider.
Koebenhavn
So, I’m in Copenhagen now. It’s been a long while since my last post here, and people have been asking me to update more frequently – especially now that I’m an expat! Luckily I set the bar quite low, so no problem there ;-)
Web Hacker For Hire
Well hello! Within a few months I’ll be graduating from Twente University with my Bachelors degree in Computer Science. I’ve decided not to take a Masters, but to venture out into the world. More specifically, I’d like to venture out to Copenhagen. And since I’m not keen on moving to Copenhagen while still working for Xopus, I need a new job!
San Francisco, Ajax Experience, Vancouver
I’m going to be in San Francisco July 21st - 28th, and Vancouver July 28th - August 4th. While in San Francisco I’m speaking at the Ajax Experience. If you’re based in SF or YVR or are attending the conference let me know, cause I’d love to meet up.
Conferencing
I’ll be in Geneva Tuesday - Sunday morning for LIFT. I’m hoping to go to FOSDEM as well, although Nadya and Marco still need to book the hotel. April 18th it’s off to London for Future of Web Design (thanks, Malarkey!) for which I’ll be needing a place to crash on the Wednesday night.
And So It Begins
Tomorrow morning, 9am, final exam of the year. Immediately thereafter I’m off to the parents, carrying a suitcase full of clothes and a backpack filled with tech. I’ve only got a few hours to be with my family, because Friday morning the flight to San Francisco awaits me!
2005 Randoms
We’re nearing the end of the year (less than twelve hours in my time zone) and it has become time to write down some final random notes…
Nine down, one to go
On my way to being a twenty-something.
Netscape is a Network App, and without…
My Telematics professor has a thing for Netscape…
One Hundred Rabbits and an Elephant
I moved house!
But One Year Ago
One year ago exactly I was in London. Now today happened.
Saturday
I walked into a store today.
Later
Some more about my graduation from highschool, MyBlogLog, Odeo, Enschede and an upcoming Javascript meetup in Amsterdam.
Bye bye

Happy holidays!
