After six hectic years in online media I thought it was high time I'd take a sabbatical. Doing nothing at all gets very boring very quickly though and I enrolled at the Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam where I'm currently studying Computer Science. Have a look at the website.
And yes, my classmates are only half my age, and yes, they can be quite nerdy, but we're nonetheless having quite a bit of fun.
In January we built the prototype of a website for -get this- a man from Latvia who works in Amsterdam, but teaches a summer course in History at a management school in his homeland (are you still there?). We were quite pleased with the results. NB: the login is fake; click anywhere and you'll enter the site.
The faculty actually has a pretty good reputation and one of the professors is even famous! His name is Andy Tanenbaum (American of course) and he wrote THE book on computer networks.
He recently made a hilarious video to promote a new Masters degree. Check it out! It's pretty brilliant. His personal FAQ is also pretty cool.
