Just this week is left over of the time off I took from my working life, totally about three months (!), they passed by like a breeze…I guess that says it all; it has been GREAT. I will make the best out of the days left over, totally relax and ready to rock at work! Still plenty of things left to do in preparation for Norway, never a dull moment. 🙂
Gone for the weekend, camping with the family in Heino (East NL). Weather is supposed to be hot, humid and a thunderstorm late Sunday afternoon…hehe, better make sure we have the tent packed by then! 🙂
The weather ain’t all that good for working in the house prepping the big move out to Norway;
Sun is all over the place, temperature over 25 degrees and I’m stuck in the attic sorting out my old stuff collected in the past 10…20…uhh, 35 years orso, damn!
Just bought the new Marilyn Manson album ‘Eat me, Drink me‘…it took him (/her/it? :)) four years after ‘The Golden Age of Grotesque‘.
So far it has been worth the wait! Then again, I’d probably never be disappointed by the personification of my dark side, eh? 🙂
The next step in Google’s siege to conquer the (Microsoft Windows controlled) desktop market; Google Gears.
It’s an opensource browser extension and will let you run web-based apps even when you’re not connected to the web! Not a brand new idea or invention, but this one will have a big impact on the use of Google apps like Gmail, Calendar, Docs & Spreadsheets, Reader, Notebook.
The first application to be made available ‘offline’ is Reader, I expect the others to follow soon! Just imagine; no more need for MS Outlook, Word, Excel or drafting your ideas in Notepad when you’re on the road and/or without an internet connection!
Martha Burgess: "Live up to your potential instead of imitating someone else's."
Yesterday everything fell on its place…I signed up for a job *and* a house, all in one day! The job was in the works for months really, the house popped up only last Monday.
As yesterdays header graphic already showed, future is Norway…Oslo to be precise! A perfect next step and most of all challenging, both professionally and personally. Kissy also can't wait, so…ho, ho, here we go!
I'll go first and start working June 18 (sjeez, that's in TWO weeks…darn, I knew there would come an end to my extended time off…). Will be back home the month of July to prepare the move and hey, I can't miss Pohoda, can I? 🙂
The farewell party and true move out will be end August/September…exciting!
