Hija,
as some of you might now I'm currently employed (just one month) at some nice company called Dedigate, where I'm allowed to do some nice coding stuff etc (ok, also less exciting things ;-)) whilst getting payed. As I'm behind a computer screens >8h/day over there, trying to write some good code, I'm not in a real coding-mood when I get home (don't flame me, I'm just some normal human being). This implies I rarely blog, as I don't like to blog about my "normal" life.
Nothing too fancy happened lately, except the fact I saw Arsenal (not the football club) live at BoomTown (wiiiii :-)), the DConf project was released to the wolves, and I got 20 years old today (07/28) (got a nice little present from my favourite girl, the piano and violin scores of the Brahms piece I blogged about before, thank you!).
I'm quite tired now, guess I need some good sleep to be able to get to work again tomorrow. 2 weeks to go :-)

Zoals verwacht ook vandaag weer een brok nieuws over prof. Vandamme, tegen wie de UGent een tuchtprocedure gestart heeft. Drie artikels in De Standaard waarin een ex-boekhouder een boekje openslaat over de prof. Jammergenoeg zijn de bewuste artikels enkel voor geregistreerde lezers van De Standaard:
- Vandamme wilde zijn bedrijf redden: Oud-boekhouder legt uit hoe professor Vandamme te werk gaat.
- Voormalige boekhouder van Vandamme bevestigt malafide praktijken: Voor het prestige en voor de euro's.
- Melkkoeien van Vandamme: De voormalige boekhouder van Bikit doet een boekje open over de vehikels die professor Fernand Vandamme gebruikte om geld binnen te doen stromen.
De stroom is op gang gekomen, weldra zijn de praktijken eindelijk te einde. Proficiat, Wouter!
