Geek Dinner with Scoble is in two days ! I’ll be heading over there with Frédéric from the Flemish Highly Cultivated Druppels Blog. – Mister F. is going to pick me up on the parking lot next to my college right after my last class at six pm, it happens to be near his 9 to 5 7 to 9 working spot. Really looking forward to some good conversations.

Martin is working off his ‘pooper’ on the new Movil version, due somewhere this month, depending on the diaper load and decibels his youngster is producing. It’s going to be wicked ! I’m setting up the marketing for it and the official kick-off is planned somewhere end of January 2006. Stay tuned. Big Thanks to Ricardo for the coding-monkey madness!

School is mighty busy nowadays. A lot of papers to hand in, presentations due etc. I have to finish my qualitative and quantitative market research on the usability of Hamjournaal, the site we helped to reposition and optimize. It’s a project from the Journalism department of our college. We (the interactive marketeers) have put quite some work in it, and it looks like it’s paying off. I still have to pull some statistics in SPSS from that research, and write out the interactive strategy some more. Then I have to meet up with Pieter (from my class) to streamline the entire research proposal and hand it in. For ‘Ethics’ we met with Georg Jaksch from Chiquita and did a 50-minute interview on Chiquita’s Massive Code of Conduct, their employee policy and their efforts in the ‘Nature & Community‘ project. That paper needs to be done by Monday, so there’s still some work to be done.

I’m really doing a countdown. Two more weeks of torture, X-mas holidays, some exams in January and after that I’m off to the fun zone called i-Merge to participate in the 2.0 madness. Joy! Pleasure overload, here I come !
