Sweet, I found some old games I had laying around in an even older closet. Railroad Tycoon, Sega Rally, Rally Championship,… A decade ago I loved to play these on an old Windows ’98 powered computer. I think I’m going to install them again and relive the moment .
I’ve been in Belgium for a couple of weeks now and I’m still getting used to it. It’s definitely good to be back but I’m looking forward to return again too. From August on I’m going to be working at the University of Cambridge at CARET. I’ve completed my internship there and I’m happy to [...]
We’re closing in on the last week at CARET. I’ve received my final project last week. It’s a design project for the American Academy of Religion (AAR) to be implemented in Sakai. I’ve been doing some design work for a few days now and I really like this project. ‘Designing stuff’ is something that’s often [...]
Last week we went punting in the Cam. The weather was excellent to do it that day and it was very relaxing. Punting seems easier than it is and you should definitely try it if you get the chance. Yesterday we visited the 37th Cambridge Beer Festival. The atmosphere was brilliant I must say and [...]

After Planet Rock, the new Slash album and some Q music I’ve tuned my UK radio to Last FM. I’ve created an account which you can add as a friend so we can see what awesome music we like. Apparently in Belgium you have to pay for the “Radio” on Last FM but here in the UK I [...]
Apparently my laptop decided to give some weird stuff on my screen while booting. Luckily it still boots and I can work on it like I should be able to. I hope it doesn’t break while I’m in Cambridge because I need to get my thesis done.
It has been a great weekend so far. Some friends from Belgium were visiting the UK and they were in Cambridge for three days. On Friday we went to several clubs and had a great time there. We were joined by a colleague of mine too, awesome! On Saturday the weather was great! We walked [...]
The project at work is starting to come together. We (Henry Houdmont and me) almost have a working prototype and I think we’ll be able to show it tomorrow at one of the weekly meetings. The project is about functional testing for front-end developers. It basically comes to this: you create a site, you create [...]
