I installed the Mail for Exchange plugin for my Nokia E65, allowing me to download my work emails/contacts/agenda. It works like a charm…from now on I can work completely mobile! Uhmm, 24/7…is that a good thing? 🙂

Just created a movie for Sindy, Adam Curry’s cat who died recently after being hit by a car…it reminds me a lot about Juultje, our cat who died the same way some years back, it sucks!

Find it here.

Have a lot of catching up to do on the podcasts I subscribe to, didn’t listen to any in the last two weeks! Got also some webprogramming planned this weekend, seems like a nice combination, eh…geek time! 🙂

I just dropped Kissy off at the airport, she’ll be in NL for over a week…some parties she just ‘had’ to go to :), flying to Dubai Bahrein (work is tough :)), and…meet a potential renter for our house on Tuesday!! Fingers crossed!

Hmm, it’s gonna be lonely in Norway again :(…it’s good that the house has much more of a ‘home’ feeling now…and I’ve got internet and satellite TV, yeah, I’ll survive! 😉

…taking it easy, the back is improving but not a-ok yet. First day at work after two weeks of moving vacation and I forgot my freakin’ phone…darn, I feel naked!

This is why I love RSS and my Google Reader…it keeps me up to date with *alllll* my friends (at least, the ones blogging :))…hey, it reunites people who are close and yet far away (and also suffering from bacn :)).

My best friend Mike blogged today about the Great Ocean Road trip he made, going from Adelaide to Melbourne. Great story, amazing pix…wish I was there with ya! Anyway, good to read/see/’hear’ you’re doing fine mate!

I can’t imagine anyone missed Apple’s iPod announcements last week, for those who were camping out in the woods, check out Steve Jobs’ keynote speech…iPod, the saga continues! 🙂

I guess the last weeks have been a bit too much for my back…I can’t move back and forth (and yes, that IS a problem! hehe), have been in bed most of the day, damn! Will take it easy the coming days, not that I’ve got any choice…:(

Hehe, glad I’m working in satellite communications; setting up our brand new satellite dish and pointing it to the correct satellite was eeeasyyy!! Didn’t use any tools, except Google Earth to find South relative to the house!! 😉

Now enjoying dutch TV over satellite…the dutch soccer team is playing Bulgaria and Wesley Sneijder just scored 1-0, go Holland, yay!!

It took them over a year…many people (everyone?) asked for it, including me, and as of yesterday it’s finally here: search functionality in Google Reader!! It does make sense, eh?

Just had our first full day in Norway!

Slept in this morning (guess we needed it :)) and then went shopping in the afternoon…bought a washing machine at  ‘Elkjøp‘ and couldn’t resist IKEA…the typical place to go for movers hehe

Willy and Katka came over for dinner and we just emptied a shitload of boxes…things are going great!

Tuesday, September 4…late in the evening and…everyone is here, arrived safe in our new home! The 15 year old Honda Civic that Robbert and I drove, the ‘PACKED’ van, driven by Annie and Martien (aunt and uncle of Kristel) and the cats who flew from AMS to OSL with Kristel and Suzanne. Yay!

All our stuff is in da house…time to go to bed now, we’ve got some serious unpacking to do tomorrow! 🙂

…ok, it’s time, time to go…am so outta here! Wish me safe travels 🙂

Nice timing to pack the van on the day after the fareway party…oofff, waking up wasn’t easy! 🙂

Anyway, it was quite some work, but we’ve had many hands helping us out…thx friends! The van is packed…better said; PACKED! 🙂 Ready to leave tomorrow morning, final destination Norway…ETA somewhere Tuesday late afternoon.

Having the big farewell party today, around 80 people came this afternoon to say goodbye, another 100 are expected to come tonight (the theme is, not surprisingly: ‘Norway’…so, let’s go crazy!). We ordered 70 liters of beer, 35 liters of wine and there’re enough softdrinks available…I guess everyone will enjoy themselves! 🙂

We’re emptying our house, loads and loads of carton boxes…:)

Tomorrow the big farewell party, then packing the van on Sunday and moving out on Monday, great project planning!

Life’s a bitch, I’m not a morningperson at ALL…then again, it’s all for a good cause;

Am on my way back home, ready to clear the house, have the farewell party on Saturday and then permanently leave NL on Monday…wow!

I went out jogging this morning…sjeez, THAT has been a longggg time ago! It was good though, jogging next to the big Geneva lake, nice views and working out, yay!

Free WiFi in the hotel, I love it! 🙂

Out for dinner now, big day tomorrow so we won’t make it too late…

…to Geneva, meeting with WHO…wow! 🙂
