Snow in the spring

March 21st, 2010 on 12:47

And just when weather (and today’s date!) makes you believe that spring has started, you wake up, look outside and see it’s snowing again?!?

The same happened two years ago, March 21 2008…interesting.

DSC is back!

March 19th, 2010 on 23:49

Indeed, this is THE week of the return of the Daily Source Code!

Adam is ‘Back In The Sack‘ and posted DSC #822 just over an hour ago. Hehe, my podcatcher (iTunes) just downloaded it and I have a whole weekend to listen to it, great!!

DSC this week!

March 17th, 2010 on 22:33

I just finished listening to episode 182 of the No Agenda podcast (aka Open Source Radio Show), so I’m totally up to date with the real news behind the mainstream media controlled news! ;)

And, I’m just in time to be ready for Adam’s ‘Daily’ Source Code this week…yeah, that’s right, the show is coming back as promised, and this is gonna be THE week, great! As Adam mentioned on my Facebook page a month ago; patience is a virtue… ;)

I’m interested to hear what direction the show will take…the last episodes (over a year ago) were a prelude for the No Agenda topics (totally awesome). I wonder how regular the DSC will be, I expect it could become ‘almost’ daily again if only Adam would get his ‘Delta Sierra‘ sold, hehe. ;)

So, if you’re in the market for an airplane (the comment says ‘Beautiful 182RG !!! Owner has spared no expense in maintaining this aircraft!’), check out this link on tradewinds.com.

3/4 of a workweek in two days

March 16th, 2010 on 23:21

Work this week is totally crazy! I don’t mind working hard at all, I love what I do so no probs there. But to be in the office for 31 hours in just two days (!) is a bit too much in my book…besides the regular things to take care of, most of the time went into making travel expense reports. Obviously I was behind on making them…oh well, the good part is that I will soon be a rich man! ;)

Note to self; do these reports on a more regular basis and, don’t blame the system. ;)

Happy Birthday ‘mom’

March 15th, 2010 on 17:22

My mother in law celebrates her 61st Birthday today, congratulations!

I can’t be there, but can at least mark the day on the blog (and have a piece of the virtual cake! ;) ).

So much for the weekend…it’s over already!

March 14th, 2010 on 23:12

The lazy Saturday is followed by a not so lazy Sunday; I finished the IKEA fun stuff and it looks good; the stereo-set fits nicely, the TV finally hangs on the wall and all the cables are hidden…job well done!

I just paid some invoices, so the administration is also up to date and with that it is time to zzzzz, another busy week is coming up (hmm, Kissy will fly to New York, some seem to have *all* the fun! ;) )

Lazy Saturday: IKEA fun and some movies

March 13th, 2010 on 22:35

Wow, that has been a LONG time ago; Saturday without any plans or ‘obligations’…I’m enjoying it heaps…and we even got most of the left-over IKEA fun-stuff installed, great!

Ending this lazy day with two movies; a fairy tale (The Brothers Grimm) and some science fiction fiction (2012).

TGIF: Attention – Drunks

March 12th, 2010 on 23:56

Mirror.co.uk: “Desperate road safety chiefs in Romania have put up traffic signs warning motorists of drunk pedestrians. Following an increase in traffic accidents involving drunks stumbling into the road the Mayor Petru Antal ordered the signs saying ‘Attention – Drunks’ complete with an image of a reveller on his knees with a bottle.”

“We are a border town and have lots of cars thundering through here all the time…But we also have a very vibrant nightlife and the two don’t mix. We have to target the drivers because by the time they get to this state the pedestrians are beyond caring.”

Flying boat

THIS is cool, hehe, I could use it for my commute; take off from the nearby lake and land in the Oslo fjord close to the office, easy! ;)

In Belgium

March 9th, 2010 on 22:48

It’s always nice to drive from NL to Belgium…jeez, I have driven that road (for work) SO many times that I can see my tracks on the highway! ;)

I’ll have an all-day  supplier meeting tomorrow, followed by some social activity I presume (we are in Belgium after all, better make it fun too ;) )…so, it’s bedtime for me, nightynight y’all!

Group Study Exchange website

March 8th, 2010 on 17:00

Back in 2004 I have been part of a Rotary program called ‘Group Study Exchange‘. We went with a group of 4 non-Rotarians and a Rotary member and had the opportunity of a lifetime to visit Japan and stay with Japanese families! An amazing experience filled with a lot of good memories.

I had to think of it again last weekend when I prolonged the internet domain gse2004.nl for historic reasons…good times! ;)
