Nothing says ‘Defend the Netherlands’ like doing it in English.

Good afternoon, #Devoxx. I know that there there are a lot of interesting sessions this afternoon, but only one of them will feature dancing!

You know what to do.

See you in room 4, at 15:00, for my session “A Long Spring: 19 Years of Living with Your Past Mistakes”.

Goedemorgen Antwerpen!

At #gotocph, you can buy shirts with speaker faces on it. A lovely gift for the family back home, so they remember what you look like.

And there was this advertisement when Trump came over for the NATO summit, and slept in a royal castle. It reads

“Orange stains on the royal sheets? Use our powerful stain remover”

I visited Blackwell’s in Oxford this summer, and they had FOUR carousels full of Osprey books.

My family was not as impressed, and decided to get ice cream when I took it upon myself to inspect each book individually.

In the end, I picked up Campaign series 294: Operation Totalize.

Good to see recognition for Rejewski in the form of a monument.

Visiting Bletchley Park on our last day in the 🇬🇧, where the research of Marian Rejewski, a brilliant mathematician and cryptologist, was continued by Turing.
