Well It’s one of those days again: one inch of snow, slippery roads and miles and miles of traffic jams. Obviously I am not trying to get to work since even the Dutch police caution everyone “to “stay home if possible”. Luckily I’m in a position that all I need for my work is an Internet connection and e-mail 😉 Well mostly: sometimes I have to admit that being in the office is more handy, but let’s just say that for now I’m happy being home: I’ve turned up the heat, have some fresh coffee and some lounge music in […]
Happy Valentine’s Day
Happy Valentine’s Day to all you out there that want that one special person in their lives to know you love them! For me that special person is Carrie Tyree. Carrie, I’m proud to know you and I love you for the person you are 🙂 Now, if only someone could take away the +10.000 miles that separate us. Peace to all out there!

Home alone
It’s a grey monday morning and I’m sitting at home behind my PC. I’m not at work because I have a rather irritating problem: I can hardly walk because I hurt my left foot. So what happened? Well, since two weeks I’m jogging/running again. I signed up for this as part of my news years resolutions. The goal is to run the 10km on May 2nd when we have the marathon of Almere. I haven’t done anything fysical for the last 2 years so off course I have no stamina whatsoever. We train two times a week: wednesday evening and […]
Happy New Year, the works
Well, it seems a long time ago that I “blogged” something. And you’re right. Since December 6th I haven’t had much time to do anything an now I just returned from a 14 days vacation in Florida with my girlfriend Carrie. Right now its 0:06 and I have a bad jetlag. This is the reason I’m writing this entry in my nice Blog. I guess I will tell you guys all about my trip later. For now I’m getting a melatonin capsule and hope that it will help to put my biological timer back on track. Lucky for me I […]
Sinterklaas, wie kent hem niet?
Ha, caught you off guard huh? You’re wondering: what the hell does that mean? Well, for those nog familiar with Dutch traditions, instead of Santa Claus, we have “Sinterklaas”. And guess what: basically they are the same! You even pronounce the names almost the same. I don’t know the exact origin of Santa Claus or Sinterklaas real well, but supposedly he was a figure that lived in the 4th century a.c. in Myra, Turkey as a bischop. According to the legend he saved his village from starvation, resurrected three kids that were dead, and gave gifts to the poor people. […]
Pheww… A word from the (hard) working class
Wow, it has been an extremely busy month of November here at my work. So busy I didn’t even have time to follow up on my story from November 9th. I didn’t even have time to post my experiences with my iRiver iHP-120 or my superfast ADSL. All because because I was so wrapped up in my work with deadlines and very demanding customers. On the bright side: it’s now December 1st and I will be with my honey in exactly 21 days 😉 But untill then I still have a busy schedule since I have to wrap up some […]
Like an early Xmas
So far this weekend seems like its been an early Xmas! It’t 10:45 in the morning and while I’m making this Blog – sipping some fresh java – I’m enjoying my brand new superfast ADSL… Thats right: this weekend I already got my new fast ADSL. And when I say fast, I mean FAST. Lightning fast… Blazing saddles fast… I’m talking warp 10! Ok, you think: this guys is over-reacting. Well, my ADSL is 8(!)megabit downstream and 1(!)megabit upstream. And I downloaded a Linux .ISO image that was 660megabyte in just 16(!)minutes last night! When I had cable it took […]
