Cold

This morning, after a healty 4 hours of sleep, our new roommate woke me up by making tea... which was nice, cause she offered me some along with a nice conversation.
Then, after about 10 minutes of peace and quiet, Hans Erik (our other roommate) appeard to be still awake, cause when i heard some noise outside and opened the door, i was immediately hit by a snowball...
After that, a short but intense indoor snowfight commenced (tru whith Floortje, another roommate still) slept peacefully.
We then dicided to have a 'swim' in the snow, so after undressing we dove into a beautiful pile of snow (currently there's about 40 cm of the stuff).

After that, Hans Erik then went to sleep, and I went to the lab to do some soldering of my IR-LED's for the multitouch board.
Later, when Johan woke up, we agreed on taking a 'swim' again, but this time in the fjord...
Watertemperature -- about 3/4 degrees.
Outdoor temperature -- close to zero.

Ice climbing

Today was a day off, and Bas left early in the morning for a plane home, so now i am the only Dutch person here... But we also got up early and went ice climbing with a couple of people.
So we drove up to the small village that's near the lab, walked up the mountain a bit until we reached a frozen waterfall. We brought hooks, cables and clamp-on's (hooks you can strap to your shoes) and started climbing.

Furthermore, Bas did a real good job setting up our website for the different projects. So i decided to keep this blog for writing more personal stuff (like i've been doing) and the site for technical issues.
