New blogpost:
Lessons from the first year of my PhD

I finished my PhD in computer science more than three years ago. Now that I have a little bit of mental distance from my PhD time, I'm going through my research diary to see if there's stuff in there that can be useful for other people.

Apparently I'm incapable of writing short-form texts, so here is part 1. ;)

I was just sent this photo, supposedly taken in 1994: Björn Beutel, developer of the Malaga language, and myself are working in the CLUE (Computational Linguistics University of Erlangen) lab.

I’m a bit hesitant to tag this #retrocomputing ;-)
