Louise's thoughts

Welcome to Louise's Blog

A lot of people have not only asked me if I have a blog, but have actually requested me to keep one. On popular demand, I therefore introduce you to my new time consuming side kick: Louise's Blog. You probably think 'why in the world didn't she name it something exciting or at least fun', but after several minute-long considerations, I thought that in the end it is the content that counts, the rest is just wrapping and much less important than what is inside. Just like me.

Before I start writing thoughts and interesting concepts down here, I have to set up a couple of rules though. I have a serious website which tells a bit about my research and my professional career, so this blog is purely personal. It is created with three things in mind: Me, me and me. That also means that I don't really care if anyone reads it because if I did, I would constantly sensor what I write. Fact is that I am just as stupid as all the other personal bloggers out there, thinking 'why do people want to read about me?' And then get really surprised when they realize that their mom read about their latest sexscapade, which they published one late confession night. I have therefore set up 5 rules that I will uphold, they are listed in nonspecific order.

1. I write this blog because I like to write. That means that if I don't feel like writing, I do not write.

2. I will not be nice. I am a very nice person in real life and I do not need to reconfirm my nice-ness in this blog.

3. I will not necessarily try and write clever little academic or technical insights just to impress fellow researchers or students.

4. I will try to write every week at least

5. I will not give this blog link to my parents

Finally, for the readers who don't know me personally (in the rare case that some random person have wandered in here) I can tell you three things:

I am a cs research student
I am a very social person
I love chocolate and redwine
