The one unwritten rule in the Dinosaur Room is that we are guests of ASTRON/JIVE, so we do not publicly comment on Management any more. That is the privilege (and duty) of paid employees. But we would like to express our appreciation for the ASTRON Director expressing her appreciation by offering us a more visible spot in the building.

We feel honoured to occupy the old room of Ger de Bruyn.

Of course we were not unhappy in our old room, in the contemplative silence under the back stairs. We were surrounded by nice JIVE people, and even received the occasional visitor, for instance from the APERTIF commissioning team, in search of ancient knowledge.

But we do enjoy to be back near the center of things, from where we do not have to climb the stairs to go to lunch or colloquium. We also love casual passers-by to come in to exchange a few kind words, and to listen patiently to an anecdote about the Good Old Days. But most of all, we hope to make ourself useful, and perhaps even relevant.
