Flying ants

Today the ants are swarming.

I did not notice the myriads of ants on the ground before I found one in my hair (I was in my local photoshop complaining about the blocks of pixel errors in my last nine photo-CDs). When I came outside I saw them all over the place.

Empire of the Ants

Needless to say, the weather today is hot, still and humid.

Roskilde Festival Photos in the Gallery

Now I have uploadet a load of Roskilde Festival photos to the gallery. I must apologise for the pixelerrors in several photos. It seems it roots from a technical problem at my local developer. I have already been there once to get the CDs redone, but in the next round I just got errors on another subset of photos...

Anyways, don't let pixel errors bring you down, here you have the Gallery with photos from Roskilde Festival!

Looking for accomodation in Nijmegen

I am searching for a place to stay in Nijmegen near the university in the period August 22nd to October 30th. Apparently the student housing is scarce in Nijmegen, and a room (kamer) can cost up to €400. I am looking for just a small room maybe 10-20 m2, with a monthly rent of 200-300 euros. I am willing to pay up to 400 euros if the quality and location of the room matches the price.

You can help me!
If you know of a place with a free room in the period August 22nd to October 30th, please drop me a mail, and I will be delighted.

How am I currently searching for a room?
I use the websites www.kamernet.nl , www.studentenkamers.nl and www.opkamers.nl . With a little help from Altavistas Babelfish I can translate the ads from Dutch to English. Do you know of more online services I can search? Please let me know.

Cheers,

Photo Gallery now online

Thanks to Enhanced Simple PHP Gallery, my photoalbum is gradually returning to its online location. First I will fix the broken links to the old gallery from Brekurs 03 and Gjendesheim 04 and then I will add crisp new photos from Roskilde Festival, Middelgrunden and other recent locations!

Are you ready for the photo gallery? The photo gallery is ready for you!

Plan for next week

Next week, I'll go on a short trip with my family. First we will visit Givskud Zoo (we also talked about Skåne Djurpark, but my sister went there only a few weeks ago), then we will spend a day or two in Kullaberg Nationalpark rock climbing.

This picture is Katrine climbing on a trip to Kullaberg in 2003.

here totoro is hiding from his older brother (the guy with the sunglasses) 

In my opinion he drank too much 

totoro (www.totoro.org) was part of our camp at Roskilde Festival 

Old friends Unite!

At Roskilde Festival I bumped into Mathilde, a friend I haven't seen in years! Now I hope to see her before I go to the Netherlands this autumn. Yes, I am going to Nijmegen Universiteit for about 2½ months, leaving August 22nd. I'll keep you posted.

Today was the last day of my summer course in Computational Modelling of Biological Systems, excellent course. But it won't be entirely off my mind before I have finished the mandatory report. If you are interested, I have made a small model system of the calcium activation of the NFAT transcription factor. :o)

Tomorrow I will visit my friend Finn at Andebølle Højskole. I am really looking forward to this visit. I have not seen Finn for at least a year, and I have never visited Andebølle before.

yes, we did in fact listen to some music. Here: The Raveonettes 

everyone needs a bit of shade and 'fiskefj�s' 

or maybe we can just keep the board? 

if he is too drunk, make sure to leave something for him to wonder about tomorrow morning 

trynen shows off her appearance in a local Roskilde magazine 

a good deal of the mornings time were spent reading comics and singing the 'Bajer Lejr' song 

Susanne takes a nap in the shade 

there is no limit to the number of friends you can meet at Roskilde 

all you need is a cigarette, a litre of warm beer and a place near orange stage 

once in a while a strong wind and hot air makes everything fly 

notice how interested McNair seems to be in female makeup 

good eating! 

what is the name of this magnificent game? In the end we gave Anders a push to get him of the game because he did not admit his defeat 

it was almost impossible to stay out of the sun 

now this is a nice portrait of trynen and her self-portrait 

a new invention: keep your festival lunch bagel around your neck for easy access 

*bwar* 

Roskilde Festival is MoreThanMusic - take for instance this event of celeb faces... 

heading for the last lap of five 

the annual Naked Run was the second in history to feature female participants (of course they were bribed with free stuff from the organisers) 

our umbrellas came to good use as parasols instead 

we all drank a lot of beer, trynen included 

Roskilde Highlights

The next few posts will be the Roskilde Festival 2005 highlights, since I have still not found a nice php photoalbum that meets my requirements. So until then, please enjoy the photos here!

trynen and I 

a day for blogging and exercise

So it had to take a few days for me to write my first entry.

It is time for some serious up-regulation of daily exercise for my part. I will start today by running somewhere on my rollerblades. I will have to bring some water, 'cause it it is really hot today. I think I'll bring my camera too, to get some nice photos while the sun is still in the east.

By the way, I will pick up the photos from Roskilde festival today and post them on my site some time this weekend. (if I succeed to find a reasonable web gallery package for my site)

blog you later,

testing 1,2,3

lets see if this works...
