This is the third year in a row that we are going to FOSDEM. Each year it was blast, and hopfully this one will be too. Of course, the event starts with many nice Belgium beers. Looking forward to that.The talks on saturday and sunday which I will most likely go to are: The Veripeditus AR Game Framework, by Dominik George / Eike Jesinghaus Recently I have formed an intrest in Virtual Reality.

My Bachelor assignment was the perfect way of deciding at which chair I wanted to follow the Electrical Engineering Master. I was interested in both the Design and Analysis of Communication Systems (DACS) chair and the Telecommunication Engineering (TE) chair. Ultimately I decided to do my Bachelor assignment at the DACS chair. So I met with all the AIO’s working at DACS to see what kind of assignments they could offer me.

Few months ago I started experimenting with Linux Volume Manager (LVM). Being encouraged by friends who where already using LVM and showing me how easy it could be to resize partitions, make new ones, etc. My desktop needed reinstalling anyhow, so I figured why not try out LVM right away. Since I had no experience with LVM I let the (K)Ubuntu installer set up LVM for me. It made a /boot as the first partition with a ext2 filesystem.

Backlinks are bad because they do not provide any additional information. Rather they take away in cognitive performance because there is another link you might follow. Rather links should come from a natural flow, because the note builds on a previous note, for example. Or to include an idea from another note. I’ve come to believe that linking keywords within the idea to other notes is a better approach than a list at the bottom linking back and forth.

Notes should be linked, as is the basis of the Zettelkasten idea. However, to effectively link notes try the following: Link to a more general idea. Link to a more specific idea. Link to a related topic. See “tk notes” for when you don’t have note ready to link to. Above is how we used to think about linking notes together. In the meantime we have learned that there is some truth to this manner, but having these as a list at the bottom of a note doesn’t work.
