Unfortunately the ease of publishing photos to Facebook has meant that I have been neglecting my blog. I am going to try to be more attentive, and decided to start with a general update of what’s going on …

Oziel and I went to Mexico for Christmas with Oziel’s family. We spent the time between Christmas and new year in Chiapas, in the south of Mexico. It was completely different to the other parts of Mexico we have been, with some very stunning nature.

After a brief return to work Oziel and I headed to Australia for Hamish and Elis’ wedding. While in Australia we went to Sydney, Newcastle, the Hunter Valley and Byron Bay. On our way back to Sweden we stopped off in Japan, spending three days around Nagano, and three days in Tokyo with Laz.

My PhD is on track to finish in early 2011. I have created a webpage to keep track of the status of the thesis, and publish what is ready.

On the topic of PhD chapters, I am going to a conference in Keele (near Manchester) in a week to present what will probably be Chapter 6 in my thesis. The conference is Evaluation and Assessment in Software Engineering (EASE).

Oziel and I are training for a half marathon from Copenhagen to Malmö across the Öresund Bridge in June 2010.

Sometime this year we are planning to go to Rome to celebrate our birthdays (which have already passed). We are thinking to avoid the summer, which will most probably mean after the European summer.
