Graduation

Monday, June 7th, 2004

Well, I’m almost done. Just two more weeks and I’ll be graduated. First we’ll have to defend our graduationpapers and final internship, but I’ve got a good feeling about that. Only thing really standing between me and my bachelors degree is the Cryptology course, which should be finished somewhere this week. If the professor can find the time to correct it before the final grades need to be submitted, and if it’s rated 55+/100 I’ll be in the clear.

I’ve got good hopes about starting a semi-fulltime job at ZX Factory, easily one of the nicest companies I’ve ever worked for. I’m still employed there under a zero-hour contract, and I’m hoping that I can keep that for the summer and ‘upgrade’ by the end of the summer. We’ll see how it turns out. (Btw: If anybody has a job to offer in the Netherlands for my fellow graduate student Ralph, please let me know :-)

I’m going to have a pretty busy summer. First some short weekend trips to, amonst other locations, Antwerp. Next, a ten-day trip through Europe with Wouter. No planned destinations, no rush, no stress.. just random driving around. Wonder how that’ll turn out.

PS: On a side note: GTK 2 sucks. The tree/list implementation bites (though it’s pretty powerful) and what the hell where they thinking when they thought up the interface of g_strsplit()?
