Themes
Leaving traces
So many things to do in so little
time. Perhaps we should just enjoy, and keep our informational footprint
as small as possible. But like all others that have access, I cannot
resist the temptation to publish on the web.
At
this site I want to leave some traces that are worth their while. To
decide if they are is of course entirely up to you. I have used a few
main themes: my current work in IT, my scientific work in
logical-semantics and philosophy, a pilgrimage that I joined some years
ago, my poems.
The site is partly in Dutch.
