Everywhere you try something that doesn't work, always make sure you're using the latest version available! They say this in every manual, but you don't know how many people are violating this rule. But of course, one can say that the version that's delivered with your distribution isn't the latest, but that can't be a problem.

Why am I telling this? Seems logical. OK, it's logical, but most people sometimes forget it. And I'm also telling this again because people who are using (K)UBUNTU and having problems with their wireless networking, can find a clue in this. When you follow the (nice explained!) steps in the Ubuntu Wiki about installing ndiswrapper, you just use the version delivered with that version of your distro. When I did this yesterday at the notebook of a friend, seems I installed version 0.2rc2 wich is very old. Off course I ran into trouble.

Since yesterday, exams are finally done! Done! Finally!

Yeah, the last one, speech processing. It was quite hard, harder than I thought, but I was ready with studying, execpt a few pages that were to hard, I thougt. But at the exam, also those pages were asked! Indeed, it was very difficult. When I recieved the questions I thought "oh, shit". But after all, I think I have answered enough to pass. Let's hope.

Also yesterday (ok, two days ago, but I'm still awake so I say yesterday :-)), my girlfriend had her thesis presentation. It'll also be OK, she told. The jury said it was OK, very good, and she answered most questions. With that last one, a big part of her life ends. University career as student is done. She wants to go for a PhD next year, so she won't leave university and our home ;-)

I also bought her a little present. Something because she closes a period and also because I won't see her much while I'm doing my internship at Siemens. We had some drink and a nice evening with some friends, all OK :-)
