There is a lot more covered of this in other channels, including CNN.

hoda, Rianne’s cousin, is excellent at computer arts and fashion. She is also a former model. For our wedding she has been working on some stuff with the raw photos we gave her. She’s not done yet, but she gave us these previews of her work. The poems are hers, too.

HANKS to all those who sent us warm greetings, gifts, and surprises. Some made cards for us, others created decorations, and some are working on yet more surprises (there are 4 more wedding-related parties planned, culminating next year). We will post more photos in the coming weeks (hectic as we have lots of work). We also have an overview in this Web page. Here is a collage of some stuff we received.

Here is one of the several digital greeting cards we received (there are more on paper).

Over the next few days we’ll assemble about 1,000 wedding photos and gradually release some.

FTER nearly four weeks of vacation, wedding, etc. I am back to work and I am eager to show through my research & activism that nothing has changed in my professional life. I am as dedicated as ever before to the cause of technology rights and freedoms. Moreover, combining family life with the rest should be possible given compartmentalisation and correct division of time. I am fortunate to have found somewhat who is so like myself, including academic background and mentality.

HE vast majority of the photos have not yet been gathered (4 separate cameras, including some truly professional one), but here is a preliminary set of some photos taken soon after our wedding on Tuesday. More photos are to come out and be published soon. There are also more parties planned.

ODAY Rianne celebrates her birthday and next week we start our next vacation. In September we get married and then I will take my longest break from the Internet in years, perhaps in a decade. So although this blog is likely to be quiet in September (the same goes for Techrights), I am still fine, just celebrating two important things with my Other Half.

Although this blog is personal, I rarely open up about my personal life in it. My experience — as well as others’ says that trolls (and sometimes just people with adverse/opposite opinions) tend to distort what’s claimed to attack the messenger.
