Yesterday I was painting in Leeuwarden again. We were with a lot of people and the painting is almost over. Ettie & Gerben stayed the first night there. Their house is getting very nice! I made some pictures again but unfortunately I can't put them online yet as I don't have the right software here.


It was snowing this morning; the world's beautiful. Today is for the NRC, the Economist and Foreign Affairs.

I've been painting and moving stuff in Leeuwarden today. The journey by train to Leeuwarden was very pleasant. I started the book I received for Sinterklaas.

In the morning we first moved the bigger stuff into the house, later there was a lot of paiting.

Of course I've made a few pictures.

Today I'm going to help Gerben & Ettie moving and painting, so I'll take the train to Leeuwarden.

So early... just like the previous time I went there.

Just returned the shoppingcarts with the empty crates from Tuesday night.

The pictures of New Year's Eve are online!

In the days before Christmas I realized it will be very difficult to actually generate hardware. There are a lot of small details I just don't know enough about. Moreover: to be honest I don't think these details are interesting enough to spent many weeks of my internship on.

Obviously I'll have to discuss these things more with my supervisors, but I'm thinking of staying on a bit more theorethical level. The assignment itself wouldn't really change; there is still a lot of interesting research to do in comparing different Co-Design methods. I'm now writing a bit in the theorethical part of my draft thesis, the newest version is here (sources BibTex).

I went to the station to say goodbye to Svetla and Radoslav, they are going back to Brussels. I feel I should mention that Svetla won the last game they played yesterday.


After that we went quickly to pick up my OV card. Saw many bars getting cleaned and re-stocked.

Tomorrow morning will be early so I'm going to bed now. The first game we played this afternoon I won! Sasha won the one we just played after dinner. We have been playing the basic Kolonisten game, it's nice for a change to play this version again instead of Steden & Ridders.

Svetla, Radoslav and Sasha are starting another game now. New addicts, I would say.

Waking up slowly. Had coffee, some breakfast, more coffee, shower... now a beer again because we'll be playing Kolonisten. Svetla and Radoslav never played it before so I have a fair chance of winning :)


The party yesterday was very nice, especially around midnight. There was so much fireworks in Haarlem! Ettie brought her camera so there'll be pictures online later.
