How to spend five years
So I just handed in this tiny thing, called a dissertation.
I must admit - it's a nice sensation. It goes a long way towards bringing closure to the ... hmmm ... last ... five years of my life. Five years and bit, in fact. Dammit, that's a long time. I'm getting old.
What did I do(?!), you eagerly shout... without having read the bloody thing? Well, ok - right now my passing-on-the-stairway-version is the following:
I worked with a framework (bigraphs) for domain-specific programming languages (DSLs). I developed some fundamental theory and algorithms that enabled us to implement a prototype tool to play around with such languages. Oh yeah, and then I developed a DSL, the snappily named C calculus (C for cell), that biochemists can use to describe and experiment with cells and proteins in silico. Check out this poster, for some nice pictures:

First post
Well, I'm back.
After disappearing from the nets for a few months - after careful consideration I've decided to polute the blogosphere with another ill-fated blog. I give this project a 15% chance of being active at the end of the year. As you will note, this time around I will be ranting in English in a feeble attempt to cater for my international acquaintances.
In keeping with the tradition of most personal blogs I've read, I'll treat this space as my personal spillover of random thoughts written during hangovers or after working long hours, populated with far too long sentences, and mostly impenetrable to others. As you will have noted from the carefully selected title, it will probably revolve mostly around music and science. In practice, I will probably end up posting youtube clips, stolen comics, and pictures of the Little Mermaid (again to cater for my international acquaintances, you see).
Well, here goes.
...
Ah. I nearly forgot the youtube-clip. These days, I'm listening to electronic music quite a lot. Just moments ago, the exquisite (yes, Søren, I'm stealing your phrases) Nine Inch Nails song, Somewhat Damaged came on. Highly recommended.
