Coping with public and private transport since 2001
This year is like no other, since the last three years. The DTM at Zandvoort will experience me visiting on Sunday.

Not only that, there have been some interesting new developments concerning my master-thesis (of which I will speak in a later stadium) and I’ve spent almost my entire holiday-bonus on some exciting new hardware. Within a short period

After getting graded an 8 for our seminar-document (which is kind of depressing considering the good comments we received during the seminar, and the bulky document we’ve come up with. I know, quantity is not quality, but we’ve tried to be as complete as we
Continue readingGetting things done has to be, by far, the nicest thing a student can achieve. Today, roughly an hour before the deadline that is just what happened to me and my co-workers, we’ve gone final!
