I’m still here

I have been a little silent in this blog for a couple of months now. Many things have happened and I haven't really had the time to write anything. To sum up some of the things I have been occupied with:

Hand-in of project about C# 3.0 expression trees
Back in december I handed in an assignment at the IT-University of Copenhagen about C# 3.0 expression trees with two other students. It was an interering project where we tried to develop an interpretor for -like expressions using the Coco/R compiler-compiler and the new expression trees in C# 3.0 The idea was to use Coco/R to generate a scanner and a parser for our input language (Scheme-like expressions) and then transforming our simple AST into C# 3.0 expression trees. These expression trees could then be compiled and invoked at runtime, which make them ideal for runtime code generation.

Exams
I've also attended exams in the courses Distribued Systems and XML-processing at ITU which frankly took some amount of energy.

Vacation in Thailand (Phuket)
After successful exams I went 14 days to Thailand on vacation together with my family (my wife, our 6-months old boy and my mother). This was an amazing trip. Perfect weather, nice beaches, nice people, lovely food, annoying tailors, boat trip to Phi Phi Islands etc. Everthing I needed!

Thesis start-up
Together with my thesis partner we have started our work on our thesis with the title "Distributed Transaction Managament in SOA-based System Integration". An awfully long title but I guess that's how it should be with a thesis? Anyway, we are going to look into the problems with maintaining some kind of reliability and transaction managament in a loosely-coupled application that communicates through web services and spans differerent domains and platforms (like Java EE / .NET). It sounds very simple but it's not!!

Teaching
I have been teaching some courses at Teknologisk Institut in the Java web technologies (JEE 5). These teaching jobs is through my freelance job at Lund & Bendsen A/S. The first course was in Servlets and JavaServer Pages (2 days). The second course was in JSF - JavaServer Faces (3 days) and the last was also in JavaServer Faces (3 days).

Then it happened! Wednesday the 2nd of August at 6:35 pm our first child, Jakob, was born. His birth weight was 3370 grams and he was 51 cm long. It was an amazing moment! The last two weeks we have just enjoyed the time together :-)

14 dage til termin

Idag er der 14 dage til Tones termin den 2. august. Nu er vi begyndt at blive lidt utålmodige, fordi alting er på plads og fødslen ligeså godt kunne gå igang nu. Vi er ved at være lidt spændte og glæder os til at se vores baby :-)
