As this entry will contain spoilers for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Book 7) Without further ado: Heroic Secret Service Agentcategory: WWWorldFinally Lost My Marblescategory: WWWorld
I'm afraid I've lost my marbles
For 6 years, I have watched an event (some years closer than others), and I've always thought that it wouldn't be "me". Well, this year I've finally taken the plunge ... I'm going to write in the NaNoWriMo (nanowrimo.org) - 50,000 words in 1 month (30 days). I'll be posting the special link where my story will unfold (after a while), and where you can keep track of the progress. As mvblog is not yet equipped to handle such long texts, I'll be looking for an alternate space (don't worry - have plenty of ideas). Wish me luck, and if you feel like it ... enter! [sister post @ leiden.leonieke.net - place where story will unfold]

| On: 13-08-2006 21:44 Hofwijck and Huygens on WikiPediacategory: WWWorldIn my lunch break at work today, I started browsing WikiPedia for entries on dutch historical figures that I admire. Immediately I tried the search on Constantijn Huygens, whom I've always admired. When I was younger, I actually did an essay and a presentation on this figure. Not very surprising, as my parents live in a street right across from his estate in Voorburg: Hofwijck. I always thought that if I had to be born in the dutch Golden Age, Huygens would have been an excellent father for a girl - he thought that boys and girls should have the same upbriging, and more importantly, the same educational level (at least, until the girls were married).
When I opened the wikipage on Huygens, I was appalled. Someone had mixed up the layout, but as I started reading, I also saw that the english was translated badly. So I sent a link reminder to my home email and forgot all about it. That was until I came home! A brief read-up on wiki syntax, and I started correcting some of the more obvious mistakes. I added some photos, and I also started a whole new entry on Huygens' Hofwijck. Feel free to see my entries (and my hard work): Constantijn Huygens and Hofwijck (as you can see, the entry on Hofwijck is far from finished).

This is the Broadcast Treaty, and the process -- never pretty -- got uglier than ever today. Cory Doctorow | BoingBoing

1. He had only one major publication. 2. It was written in Aramaic, not in English. 3. It has no references. 4. It wasn't even published in a refereed journal. 5.
