For my next project I want to create a Drawing Robot. I just finished ‘House 2’ and that was quite intense. I needed to think of a lot of things to make it work and there was nothing to build upon, except the vision of my wife and my experience. For now I would like

Better late than never. This a report on IoT Tech Day from 2016. I wrote this in May 2016, but I’ve been busy with personal matters for the last 2 years. So, before visiting the successor of IoT Tech Day called TEQNATION coming April, here is the report I was writing in 2016. Introduction

Visit to FOSDEM 2016
Here’s my report on visiting FOSDEM in Brussels last Saturday.

Ohm2013 retrospective
My body has now almost caught up from the exhaustion and my thoughts are a bit straightened out after #ohm2013. So now is a good time to start writing about it. I had a great time at Om2013. Always something to do and lots of people to talk to. So updating my blog was not
Arrived at OHM2013
This afternoon I drove towards OHM2013. Of course it started raining in the afternoon and did’t stop until 10 o”clock. I was able to put my tent up and make me some dinner. Almost everything got wet this afternoon, but I was able to pull it together and set everything up for the coming days.
