We’re moving out of our appartment in Buchs, so we’ve been busy packing stuff into lots of boxes:
The plan is to pack down all our things today and then Stéphanie’s sister Marié-Thèrese and her husband Adrian will come with a big car tonight and bring it all down to Wallis. Stéphanie and I will then clean the appartment tomorrow with help from Stéphanie’s other sister, Barbara.
I’ll take the train down to Wallis on Sunday whereas Stéphanie will stay “nearby” in Berne so that she can come back to Buchs on Monday to hand over the keys. While in Wallis I’ll study for my next and final exam in Web Algorithms which is on Friday, March 3rd.
After that exam I’ll pack my stuff and finally we’ll go home to Denmark on March 7th with the night train, so we will arrive on the next day (Wednesday). My Mom and Dad will be there to pick us up and we’ll stay in Aalborg until Friday where I have to go to Århus for a ph.d. meeting and to bring Stéphanie to the airport.
So if you don’t hear too much from me in the next couple of weeks, then it’s probably because my computer is packed down somewhere or because I’m studying for an exam, or simply because I’m too lazy to answer :-)

“I dag er det Lars’ fødselsdag, hurra, hurra, hurra!” and so the song goes on… :-)
I hope you have a nice day with lots of cake (hopefully with more than just one candle in it) and some good presents.

After some succesful lobbing by Thomas, Rune decided to start a blog (just writing “Rune” should be unambigious now that the other Rune has changed name to Evil Princess kirkebrand…). So he is now a (proud?) member of Planet DAIMI as well.
I also found and added Dan’s blog. If you guys know of any other blogs you want added, then send me a mail.

Mikkel writes that Planet DAIMI seems dead… so here’s just a small post from me saying that I’m not dead!
In fact I’ve just passed my exam in Formal Methods for Information Security, I got a final grade of 5.5, which I’m quite satisfied with. The course had a written midterm and was supposed to have a written final too, but they changed the final to an oral exam! In the midterm I only managed to bring in a very poor 4.25, so pulling the average up to 5.5 is very good, especially considering that the maximum grade in the Swiss system is 6.0… The lecturer called it “fancy math” and I have to agree with him! :-)
I’ll have the next exam in Randomisierte Algorithmen on Monday — it’s a written test, and I don’t like it…

I’m starting to get a bit tired of reading about the silly so-called Cartoon Crisis, so here’s something much more positive for you to read about: smiles! :-)
Stéphanie found this funny little test at the BBC homepage where you have to look at 20 videos of people smiling — but some of the smiles are fake. You can only see each video once, so you have to pay attention, much like in real life when people smile at you. And don’t worry, the test is fairly quick, I guess it took 15 minutes or so.
I was able to guess correctly 16 times out of 20, which apparently is fairly good since they write that most people are bad at distinguishing between real and fake smiles.
Take the test!
