Long time no blog

Some quick facts about the last few weeks. I might elaborate on some of them later:
- Picked a thesis subject. Can’t get the exact subject from the web framework (Plato) atm because it’s down, but it’s about implementing a .NET/CIL backend for Diablo.
- I bought a laptop (finally!). Specs: MacBook, white, 2.16Ghz, 2GB RAM, 120GB HDD. Turned it into a triple boot (it’s running Linux, OSX and Windows). Ubuntu runs great on it. Sleep/resume, remote control, volume keys worked out of the box. Wireless is working with the Madwifi drivers, the screen brightness keys used to work, but not anymore. Battery time is max. 3 hours on Ubuntu. My desktop pc is quite abandoned now…
- I passed my exams. Got better grades then I was expecting.
- Went to GUADEC, unfortunately without ikke (shame on him). Saw a lot great talks. Maybe more on that later.
- Just finished Harry Potter 7 last night. Great book, great series of books. I’m not going to give away any spoilers here though…
Things to come:
- A few more weeks of vacation. Way too much stuff I want to do I way too little time.
- Summer job/internship at Think Wize. I’ll be working on some of their Django-based solutions. Should be fun.
Wow, cool things! Great laptop, /me jealous! Fine to hear it works out of the box with Ubuntu.
I know Diablo, it’s a nice thing. Congrats with your grade!
What about that summer job, is it a GSOC-job? Django should indeed be nice for you, and nice to hear your internship is a paid one. I didn’t have that luck at Siemens, where I even had to pay transportation.
Aiai, caramba, errors while posting a comment. No, not only the captcha.
Sorry about the problems with the comments… My summer job is not a GSOC job. I knew the people at Think Wize were looking for Python programmers, so I mailed them, and we agreed on a summer job.
