			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I moved half way May for the 3rd time in a short period of time. This time I&#8217;ll stay for at least a year. It&#8217;s a nice place, and I&#8217;ve only come as far as half way getting everything out of the boxes (hehe - no worries, I don&#8217;t live in the middle of these boxes - they are all packed away). Every now and then, I have time to sort some stuff out. I got rid of most of the things I didn&#8217;t want to keep before I packed, but since I am unpacking now I often find myself wondering if I really need to keep certain things.</p>
<p>Therefore I photograph most stuff I don&#8217;t want to keep like for instance a whole pack of letters that never made it to the person I intended them for. Also I pass along a lot of drawings. I thought it would be good to keep them not only physical, but also have a digital copy of them.</p>
<p>This evening I uploaded a few more of the sketches I made during the past few years. You can find them in my recent uploads on flickr if you are interested. <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sgfwarnaars" title="Flickr phots recently uploaded" target="_self" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview ('/outbound/www.flickr.com');">Go have a look</a> and enjoy!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It has been ages. I just looked at the previous posts I wrote, and noticed how much time has been between them.</p>
<p>I think it might be due to changed habbits. I don&#8217;t take a lot of time to write here anymore. Mainly because <a href="http://www.twitter.com/sgfwarnaars" title="Twitter page SGFWarnaars" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview ('/outbound/www.twitter.com');">Twitter</a> enables me to write on the spot/as things occur and <a href="http://quicknotes.samwarnaars.com/" title="My Tumblr blog" target="_blank">Tumblr</a>, for a while at least, made it possible to just drop things on the micro blog from the browser as I happened to pass along interesting stuff. Not anything like a blog, where I would take time and write a post like back in the days I lived in Jakarta.</p>
<p>Wordpress seems to have changed though, and a lot of the functionallity I found in Twitter or Tumblr will now be put in the next Wordpress releases. This makes me wonder: should I put more time in writing here again?</p>

<p><img src="http://mw2.google.com/mw-panoramio/photos/medium/7025615.jpg" alt="Burkina Faso" width="500" height="375" /></p>
<p>Een week geleden kreeg ik een mailtje van het zusje van mijn vriendin. Ze loopt de Nijmegse Vierdaagse en zamelt daarmee geld in voor <a href="http://www.helpburkina.nl/" title="Stichting Help Burkina" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview ('/outbound/www.helpburkina.nl');">Stichting Help Burkina</a>. Ik heb al een bijdrage gestort, misschien dat het via deze weg mogelijk is om nog wat meer mensen wat geld over te laten maken. (Huh? Geld overmaken? - Ja! Geld overmaken! Lees verder waar om te kijken waar dat geld voor wordt gebruikt)<span id="more-265"></span></p>
<p>Misschien kan ik het beste de mensen die voor het goede doel gaan lopen zelf aan het woord laten:</p>
<blockquote><p>In Burkina Faso (Centraal-West Afrika) krijgen voor 20.000 euro 7000 mensen de kans op een betere gezondheid met de realisatie van een kliniek. In het dorp Balkiou is nog geen medische zorg aanwezig en om een beschikbare arts te bereiken moeten de mensen ruim 5 kilometer te voet afleggen over kleine paadjes, soms onbegaanbaar door de regen. Voor een ‘onschuldige’ griep gaan ze niet op weg; er moet echt iets ernstigs aan de hand zijn en tegen die tijd is 5 kilometer een enorme afstand.U begrijpt dat het een hele zware opgave is en dat mensen helaas niet altijd op tijd geholpen kunnen worden. Omdat enkele (basis)scholen met verschillende acties al € 13.000 bij elkaar hebben gebracht, staat er “nog maar” € 20.000 open om dit mooie project te realiseren.</p>
<p>Wij zijn negen enthousiaste deelnemers aan de Nijmeegse Vierdaagse 2008 en willen graag dit bedrag bij elkaar lopen, met jullie hulp. Graag vertellen wij op deze site wat meer over de Stichting waar we dit voor doen en over onszelf.</p>
<p>De stichting Help Burkina heeft sinds 1998 verscheidene projecten in Burkina Faso gerealiseerd. Zij werkt nauw samen met inwoners in Burkina Faso waardoor de behoeftes van de inwoners duidelijk zijn en er niet zomaar gebouwd wordt. Alle sponsorgelden kunnen direct aan de Stichting overgemaakt worden, waarbij u als sponsor vermeldt dat het voor de Vierdaagse Actie is. Meer over deze Stichting leest u <a href="http://helpburkina.googlepages.com/" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview ('/outbound/helpburkina.googlepages.com');">hier</a>.</p>
<p>Omdat er voor de bouw van de kliniek water nodig is, is er onder andere alvast een begin gemaakt met het aanleggen van een waterpomp. Deze ziet u op de foto afgebeeld. Het geld hiervoor is afkomstig van andere particuliere donaties.</p>
<p>Om verder te kunnen bouwen is uw hulp nodig. Wij hopen dan ook dat u onze deelname aan de Vierdaagse zou willen sponsoren en indirect een ‘steentje’ bij wilt dragen aan de bouw van een kliniek. Dit kan per gelopen kilometer, maar eigenlijk begint de teller al te lopen vanaf een cent. De hoogte van het bedrag laten we aan u over. Maar weet dat we het heel erg waarderen en elke cent naar de Stichting gaat!</p></blockquote>
<p>Draag ook bij aan het goede doel. Stort je bijdrage voor Stichting Help Burkina. Vermeldt bij je storting “vierdaagseproject Burm”, zodat duidelijk is dat je voor de kliniek in Balkiou stort.</p>
<p>Het rekeningnummer van de Stichting Help Burkina en andere gegevens zijn:</p>
<p>HELP BURKINA te Oud Gastel<br />

Rek. nr. 31.38.03.927<br />

<p>Heel erg bedankt!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It seems like I am closing of parts of student life. Things might start moving quick soon. The past two weeks were filled with exams for most, for me it was only one last one on the first morning. About one more week till I expect the results, a little exciting, I have to admit.</p>
<p>After my exam I rushed to the train to make sure I would be in Amsterdam in time for the fourth edition of Mobile Monday. I&#8217;ve been following this event ever since the second edition already some time ago. It was the first time I could actually be there though. The line up was impressive, with speakers from Gate 5 (Nokia Maps), Tom Tom, KPN and many others. The keynote speaker was great. I never heard of Joseph Pine II before, but his story really blew me of the chair and left me dizzy for some time. I expect the keynote to be out on video soon so you can see what I mean (if I put it here, don&#8217;t mind the Star Wars jokes at the end, I didn&#8217;t get them either).</p>
<p>I figured that it would be a nice occasion for me to see if I could find a way to get companies to get in touch and discuss about possible graduation research. After all, I&#8217;ve been more and more focused on all the things going on in the mobile industry. All the people I would possibly like to write a letter to would be at this event (out of the over 200 attendees I was one of the very few students). I would never be able to talk to them all so thought of a way how to make them get in touch with me. I didn&#8217;t know if it would be appropriate, but decided to give it a try.</p>
<p><img border="0" width="500" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2188/2208592873_19120f3d02.jpg" alt="I'm in search for a Master Thesis QR code" height="375" /></p>
<p>I made these posters and put two up in the toilet. It displays a big QR code which could be read with a mobile phone and next to it a short introduction with a call to action (snap the code), a short instruction on how to snap the code and links to places where those without a reader could get one. Once the QR code would be snapped, the phone would ask permission to open the SMS application on the phone and the person could send an SMS to my pre-programmed number.</p>
<p>It was a little experiment and I didn&#8217;t expect much of it. Although there was only one person who actually sent me an SMS via the code, I don&#8217;t know how many tried to snap the code without sending the SMS. Another positive side effect, I only hoped for but didn&#8217;t expect was that the code would get attention afterwards via bloggers who had snapped a picture and put it on their flickr account like these two <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/marcfonteijn/2211923444/" target="_blank" title="Marc Fonteijn" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview ('/outbound/www.flickr.com');">guys</a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ohwhen/2211192457/" target="_blank" title="Owen" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview ('/outbound/www.flickr.com');">did</a> and later Roger (<a href="http://www.kaywa.com/" target="_blank" title="Kaywa mobile blogging and QR codes" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview ('/outbound/www.kaywa.com');">Kaywa</a>) <a href="http://mobile.kaywa.com/qr-code-data-matrix/seeking-for-graduation-research-by-qr-code.html" target="_blank" title="Roger writes about my QR code application" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview ('/outbound/mobile.kaywa.com');">did</a> <a href="http://photo.kaywa.com/roger/detail/1270" target="_blank" title="Roger placed a copy in his photostream" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview ('/outbound/photo.kaywa.com');">because</a> of this post (thanks Roger!).</p>
<p>Exams are done, so it&#8217;s only me and a couple of papers left till I can move out of Enschede. I&#8217;ll go back to Rotterdam for some time, but might move to Utrecht half way March. It&#8217;s exciting times all the way <img src='http://www.samwarnaars.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /></p>
