Tomorrow I’ll be heading for Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark. I’m going to the LinuxForum 2001 conference, together with Cookie and Tais.

I’m really excited about this, and expect to bring home loads of merchandice: t-shirts badges etc :-) It’ll be great! Apart from this, there’s also some very interesting talks. I recently switched to Debian, so I look forward to hear the talks about this. But there will also be talks about a lot of other interesting subjects.

Cookie told me, that they had spoken to Raster about having him speak at the conference! Judging from the news on his homepage, he would probably have spoken about “his new toy”: Evas. This would have been awesome — to have met this incredible talented guy… Wow. But they found out, that they didn’t have an empty slot for him, so he won’t be there. What a shame!

Today there I received a letter that told me, that I won’t have to do military service. Yes! So this means that there’s nothing stopping me from starting at the university next later this year.

Yesterday I visited the Department of Computer Science at the University of Aarhus (also called DAIMI). They had arranged some tours, so that potential students like me could have a look at the place.

It looked very nice, so I believe that this is where I’ll spend the next 5-9 years of my life. I plan to take a Masters degree (cand.scient) in Computer Science, which takes at least five years. If I still like it after that, then I’ll probably start with a Ph.D. study which takes another four years. But it’s way to early to decide that now :-)

Last night I saw three very cool DVDs: “Me, My and Irene”, “Scary Movie” and “The Gladiator”. René had arranged this DVD-watching-event, because he has just the right equiptment for the job. When you’re used to normal stereo, then it’s quite an experience to see the films with Dolby Digital.

So, I’ve been really tired today — I went to bed about 5:00 am.

Today I only had 4 lessons in school — nice! We use two different schedules, and switch between them every week. But last week I had a total of 34 lessons, whereas I’ll only have 28 this week. That, of cause, makes this week my favorite.
