Weather's shitty, so what better way to spend the day in the sauna?

Relax!

P.S. Luckily I gained the day back during the flight back, so Friday April 27 was a *very* long day…not that there was much to enjoy, since the entire 'day' was spent flying

Watched an eye-opening documentary last weekend: Oil, Smoke & Mirrors (dutch subs), interesting alternative perspective on the phenomenon 'Peak Oil' and the consequences it has (Afghanistan, Iraq, even 9/11?!?)…a MUST SEE, so reserve an hour in your agenda and click the link!

Next on the list to watch is 'A History of Oil', as recommended by Adam Curry in Daily Source Code #578 (I'm still catching up after my vacation)…interesting stuff!

Oscar Wilde: "The aim of life is self-development. To realize one's nature perfectly - that is what each of us is here for."

Oww, it took till Saturday afternoon before I could login to Gmail again, and till Sunday before all mail was sent over to the raymondpoort.com domain…sjeez! I already understood from Adam Curry that this process can be troublesome, really thought I got his issues covered (even though his Gmail-account was bigger than mine, appr. 4Gb) and still got hit by the Google-hammer!

I (finally) went to the dentist today…it all looked good, but he still made some pictures (as a picture tells you more than a thousand words?!?).

Will know tomorrow if there's any damage to be taken care of.

I earlier migrated my raymondpoort.com domain to Google Apps For Your Domain and happily changed primary email address (see 'Contact'  on the right side). I was however still using my 'old' Gmail-account for all my mail (forwarded it from my domains).

Decided to migrate completely two days ago and stop using the gmail-account and work from the GAFYD exclusively, yay! First step in the process was to bring over all my old gmail messages to the raymondpoort.com domain (using a slow pop3 module), then…DAMN ME…unintentionally I created a nice loop where my .com mail got forwarded to my raymondpoort.nl domain (a back-up incase Google screws up :)) and then forwarded on to my gmail-account again. In itself no problem since the systems do have some intelligence and will not forward duplicate messages, however, I have only limited storage on my raymondpoort.nl domain…the domain exceeded its disk quota and started to send out 'message undeliverable - quota exceeded' messages triggering Gmail's anti-spam measures to lockdown my Gmail-account…DAMN ME twice!

Am still waiting till I can login again, most mail should go to the raymondpoort.com domain, but still, am sure I'm missing out on some mails.

Shit, never saw this one coming…

I even found some time to read, besides enjoying nature (and finishing some really tough sudoku's :)).

Another great one from Paolo Coelho, 'De Vijfde Berg' (The Fifth Mountain)

A dutch writer, Kluun with 'Komt een vrouw bij de dokter'. An auto-biography about a 'hip, healthy and wealthy' couple in their mid-30's, living like gods in Amsterdam with their on-year old daughter…until she is diagnosed with cancer.

…wow, this one got me to tears…since metro-sexual is sooo 2006, does that make me gay?

Dave Winer (aka Big Daddy Dave and 'The Blogfather') is turning 52 today and still going strong. Congrats dude, have one on me.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: "I pay no attention whatever to anybody's praise or blame. I simply follow my own feelings."

It's a nice sunny day, perfect day to go to 'De Keukenhof'! (for the first time of my life, wow!)
