arrr – today it be the 19th of September also known as “Talk Like A Pirate Day”, so keep in mind to use the lingo as much as posible. As a side note I erge you to look at piratevninja.com which a quite cool site discussing the well known pirate vs. ninja issue.
During the last year, the mister of the danish “Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation” (videnskabsministeriet), Helge Sander has made some rather questionable decisions and proposals which has lead to a heated discussion among students and personnel at danish universities.
Examples of such decisions are: the removal of group exams which has been a very praised trademark of Aalborg University. A group of students have now created a website dedicated to pointing out the ministers self-contradictions and to “translating” his political mumbo jumbo into plain danish.
If you speak danish the site is quite worth a look – granted it is not very objective, but the same can be argued about Helge sander.
So summer is finally over and I’m back at university. Since I graduated this summer I have been catching up on some long awaited R n’ R. With that well and out of the way, I have been spending time putting my new B.Sc degree to work, developing software for the university (AAU-Portalen). I have been working there for a while now but this summer a fellow student and I, was hired full time for one month. As usual we did a lot of patching, scripting, Log analyzing (this time with polliwog – the software not the tadpole ) but we actually also did a very exciting project using the “newly” acquired Google Enterprise (development) box at AAU. Morten (my colleague) did a small introduction to the software we wrote – if it should be of any interest to you feel free to download it and send me (or us) comments.
Now that summer is over, I’m back in university and started up the project for my master thesis, It will be in the area of Code verification with possible application in the UPPAAL verification tool. I’m dooing the project in collaboration with Uffe Soerensen a fellow student whom I’m now writing my 7 project with. The project is supervised by Professor Kim G. Larsen. Although It’s really early in the process I’m already really excited by this project.
Since I have been really lazy at writing posts this summer, I might as well get it all over with in one go. Hopefully I will have the time from now on, to publish more often. The final project I would like to mention here is one which actually started in the early spring this year Uffe, Morten and I (you will notice that I mention these guys quite often – and here I go again) started helping with a local mall on their way into the 21th century by installing a file server allowing them to share file and work at home when required. It turned out that they liked not living in the dark-ages and we have now been hired to develop a management system allowing them to communicate with mall customers and renting shops alike (more on this venture later – hopefully).
