I warned you this blog would be about anything I like. So just a quick post to say I’ve put my holiday pictures up on Flickr.

I just spent about an hour figuring this out, so I thought I’d put it out there, as much as a note to self as maybe to help others having the same problem.

Sinds 1 september werk ik niet meer bij AEBIZZ E-consultants. Hoewel de keuze moeilijk was, heb ik uiteindelijk de knoop doorgehakt en werk nu bij Dutch Open Projects, waar ik websites bouw gebaseerd op Open Source oplossingen (PHP, Joomla, MySQL, Drupal, Symfony).

Morgen is het zover: het rookverbod in de horeca. Joehoe, feest!

Last week, I finally got the chance to take a more thorough look at the new "R56" Mini, which was introduced for model year 2007. The Checkmate had to go for a big checkup, the one that comes at 100.000 km, although due to large distances it asked for it a little later – I'm [...]

It’s been some months since I left webMethods. At my last day, my ex-colleagues gave me a voucher for participating in the Michael Bleekemolen Race Experience; a whole, motorsport-packed day at the Zandvoor Circuit, where you drive all kinds of vehicles including a Porsche 911. Last sunday finally was the big day. To cut a [...]

Well, end to another story. Last week I received a phone call from Tomtom support. They had a solution to my problem. They needed me to send them my PDA and GPS receiver, on which they would then install some software that would allow me to use the GPS receiver. As it happens, I bought [...]
