First Year Done.

So - that was it. The first year of life at the University of Copenhagen. It’s done and I have now started my summer vacation.

I passed all my exams, and my grades were pretty good. Not Straight-A-good, but Above-B-good at least. I’m very hopeful for next year, and I hope I will enjoy the courses as much as those I had this year.

And my plans for this summer, you might ask? Well, I will be visiting the Edinburgh Fringe again this year - and as a new thing, my sister will be joining me.
I will also be riding my bike around Denmark to see the countryside and to visit friends and family.

On the coding front I have a great project together with Thomas which I will tell you more about later.
If I’m feeling in a particularly good mood, I might even finalise my work on recurrence parsing in the iCalendar parser.

It allows you to type in the URL of a iCalendar feed, and it will display the contents of the feed in a nice week-view calendar.

In the Works: iCalendar parser

I’ve got myself a new project. A iCalendar parser.
Right now it’s getting close to some initial testing. Which is why I need you!
Do you have any need for parsing iCalendar files/feeds? If you do, I’d like to bounce some ideas on how to create the API.
Also - I’m looking for testing-material. If you have a [...]

So. Then what.

I am pretty much clueless when it comes to what I should blog about. This is what came up in my mind when pondering what to write about:

PHP - But I haven’t really coded anything or much worse: felt like coding anything in the while.
Web Security - But I’m not sure I’m best suited for [...]
