The congressional report on the terrorist attacks of September 11 has been published yesterday. It's a huge document of course, even without the classified parts.
I've set myself a deadline for my internship paper: Sunday evening I want to submit it. That means of course that I'm quite busy with the paper now.
I've put a new version online (with the sources). The last time I did that was in February: quite a while ago. The homework assignments of Internet Programming and Formal Methods took more time than I thought.
I slept with the window open, and this morning I was woke up half hour before my alarm would go. There was a bird, just outside the window, making a lot of noise. It sounded a bit like scissors.
I've been working all day on my internship paper. I'm rather proud of myself because I did a lot today.
The deadline for the paper is the 28th, so there's some pressure. I want to be ready with it tomorrow evening. This way my supervisors will be able to comment on it during the week.
I went to Amsterdam this evening, I had to do some shopping.
Ettie called, and in between she told me that the public transport travelcard isn't valid now. Between July 16th and August 16th my student card only gives a discount, no free traveling. I'm glad nobody checked my ticket.
The last few days have been really warm, around 30 degrees. Yesterday evening the weather changed: a small thunderstorm cleared the sky. It was fresh in the evening, so I opened all the windows in the house to get the hot air out.
When I came here at Chess you could notice the difference. In the elevator it was still very warm, whereas in the rest of the building (where windows have been opened as well) it was much colder.
Although I really enjoyed the beautiful weather of the last days I must say that working is easier when it's not so hot.
We'll get an airconditioning system here at Chess, and they're working on it now. The power was off in the building between 12:00 and 1:00.
Therefore I decided to get my haircut today. The guy I usually go to was on holiday, so I had to find another hairdresser... took me a while. I wanted a hairdresser where I could just walk in (without appointment), and that wasn't extremely expensive. Found one near the Botermarkt, so I'm with shorter hair now.
The bridge is closed -- boats waiting in line at the Spaarne.

A colleague send me a hilarious Flash animation on the difference between Europe and Italy. I really loved the part of pedestrians crossing the road.

Some of the air-conditioning parts are too big for the stairs or elevators, so there's a big crane working now.
