First time this winter that we have the heating on! Our new home rules!!

Red done as well!

Grey mainly done. Next up, red!

midsession break. Starting on the colours in a few minutes @ vibestattoo

Off to face the cold on the way to Vibes. Next tattoo I guess I should go to a place reachable by car!
Weird feeling, not having my own PC anymore. Nadia walked in and asked "what are you doing with my computer?" Got to get used to that one!
Nadia and Ted let me sleep in today! Awesome! Now having a wonderful Latte and waking up. Mentally prepping for 3hrs of vibesTattoo

fake AP seems like fun to play with! http://ping.fm/JhEJT
Nice idea "pocketMod" http://ping.fm/EWGEj
Considering whether or not to use Ning for rebuilding qa-rocks.com. Seems a capable system, not sure yet if I like the limitations though.
Really curious what the Marktplaats ratio would be. Or the Spil ratio for that matter: http://ping.fm/zsvPZ
Curious to see what www.softwaretestingclub.com and www.fat-nl.ning.com, both testing-social-sites, are going to bring me. So far just mail.
Crap, I received 9 endorsements, which is awesome, but now I have to return them of course... that's quite some writing still to be done.

Our very own stevie wonder!

Nice visualization of browser usage on the web: W3Schools Browser marketshare http://ping.fm/NvVAK
Curious to start working with Rally in Januari. Will have to see what bugtracker we're going to deploy there, assuming rally is insufficient

Ted found himself a present bag with some toys!

I am really in dire need of doing something useful with QA-rocks.com. The current site really sucks big time.
Just ordered some wines at www.africanlifestyle.nl We had them during @MartijnKroon 's goodbye drink. Excellent wines!
Just watched the wordt anti-smoking campaign ever. It pretended to be a "How I met your mother" episode! That show is going downhill fast.

Our christmas tree this year..

Interesting experience, waiting at the Russian side of the Russian embassy. Weird things happen here!

Very fancy public toilets in Den Haag!

Off to the last VvE meeting of this year.
Packed all my personal crap from around my desk. All that's left now is a box styrofoam airplanes.
Going to spend some time today endorsing some people who endorsed me :)

Very nice goodbye gesture from my friends at CFS. Thanks!

"yes", "sometimes" and "no" just don't cut it for a questionnaire. I really miss "mostly" ...
doin' a questionnaire: just clicking the link gave me 17% progress!
to all who got a plaxo invite: My sincere apologies, I didn't intend to spam nor make you do stuff with plaxo, was linking it to linked in.

Maugli - Мауглы is also fully on Youtube! http://ping.fm/5XGvt

Good to see iprofs makes typos on their Adsense ads... SCUM training? I expect a lot of that particular training!

made the mistake this weekend to tell plaxo to connect to linkedin... Long live the past! Plaxo still sucks!

Kabouter is not yet really awake.

Currently uploading a high quality version of винни пух (or Russian Winnie the Pooh)

Out having hot chocolate in the park after getting cold toes in the playground.
