QOTD October 13 2006

Friday, October 13th, 2006

Steve Jobs: "Almost everything–all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure–these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart."

Last nights game, Quintus - Pijlslag: 2-2

Thursday, October 12th, 2006

We played against our fellow trainingdudes of Pijlslag. We were taken by surprise with their powerplay from the start and lost the first two sets with 10-25, 12-25…OUCH! Luckily we were able to repack ourselves in the third set, survived a matchpoint and won it 28-26. The last set was tough, but hard work paid off, 25-23…a draw! This might be the best result for both teams since we will train together coming Monday. :)

In the end we were the moral winners, coming back from so far away…

Last Saturday, October 7

Monday, October 9th, 2006

I had quite a hectic weekend; high school reunion, big family party, a bachelor party and, oh yeah, a volleyball match which we lost 3-0.

So, waaaayyy too busy to post on it, but it has been 2 years ago last Saturday, October 7, that the podcasting train truly left the station…godspeed with a godcast…destination yet unknown…heading for a great and eventful ride!

For all suckers of historic moments; check it out!

This is a great site for anyone calling internationally. For instance to spooky countries like Ivory Coast, Burundi or Kyrgyzstan! :)

Trade Secrets podcasts

Thursday, October 5th, 2006

It *is* time to go to bed, but…never too late to help out Dave Winer:

He's looking for some of the Trade Secrets podcasts he did 2 years ago with Adam Curry and asked if anyone still had copies. Hehe, I do…obviously! I posted a comment and he responded!

Dave, you can find them here! (PS. I adjusted the link pointing now to their 'own' homebase on Dave's server :))

(Sorry for the crappy .Mac interface and please give the files some time to be uploaded to the server…it *will* take a while, but was the best I could do for now, at this time of night :))

Isn't it great to see how one big inter(net)connected community works?

It’s about time…this one is taken last summer when playing the typical camping-style game of ‘boules’! (for the advanced as we were playing in the dark! :))
