Back in business

After a very short vacation, the 2nd semester has started. I've had two new courses today, an interesting one (multimedianetworks) and a very boring one (informationtheoretics). I think I'm not going to follow that second one very intensive ;-)

Before my vacation, I arranged a deal with Dell and VTK. The principes of selling Dell computers at VTK were already OK, but now we recieved some very good prices from them, without having to pay for windows if we don't want it. A lot cheaper than on their website. Normally they should create an e-commerce site for our students, but I didn't hear anything from them. I'll give them a call tomorrow. Let's hope they arrange it soon, so we can start selling those machines.

At the same time, my girlfriend has also finished her exams, very good normally, so we could have a (very short) vacation. We went to Molenheide. Bad weather, but we spent a great time together.

First day of the 2nd semester, great problems at VTK. Printing at the new Nashuatec all-in-one and the old laserjet didn't work anymore. All people frustrated, me target of all kind of projectiles. Thanks to ikke, printing at laserjet works again. We also had problems with a full (or corrupted) hard disk, so we couldn't send or recieve e-mail anymore. Fixed by moving the maildir on another harddisk and creating a symlink. It's a temporary solution, but the whole system needs to be redesigned. I also executed the deathrowscript (for backing up and cleaning the temp dir) for the first time, seems OK. From now on, it's executed every saturday at 1 AM.

Didn't do anything special for valentine's day. I think it's to commercially pushed. This friday, we're two years together, so that will be a special day full of love for us :-D

Lessons restarted, webdesigning

The lessons for the second semester started today. The classes in the morning were dropped, but the ones in the afternoon -- Electric Networks -- were terribly boring (as usual :roll: ).

I'm changing the code of one of my sites to XHTML atm. I'm nearly finished, but it will probably look quite f*cked up in IE. I'll reboot into windows tonight and check it out. If anyone has some feedback about the code, plz comment it, so I can learn from my mistakes. ;-) (Idd, the menu in the corner thing is similar to the one on www.eikke.com, sorry about that Ikke. :oops: )

*looks at download window*
Wheeeeee, a new episode of RedvsBlue!
