Happy to have a nice calm evening. Getting back to Terry Pratchett soon to finish Feet of Clay!

Thus far not seeing any reason for the weatheralarm. It is above 0, not snowing but yes it's windy. Any worse for anyone?

Highspeed shopping succeeded! It was actually nice outside, as long as you stay out of the wind that is...

getting ready for some grocery shopping in high-speed style.

RT: @jamesmarcusbach Every time F16s scramble cause a passenger won't come out of the bathroom, I am embarrassed to be American. What idiots

Tedster was up and about bright and early, resulting in me also being up grumpy and early. He is back to bed now, I am not.

Looking forward to a nice calm weekend. Met a lot of new people, saw a lot of new things and gained a lot of new ideas in my 1st week @Spil.

There is a cat on the lose on our balconies. The girl from next door is now going around over the balconies asking around.

-7 outside, inside the strawberry plants are happily growing!

walking makes life a lot easier for Ted, but way more challenging for us! Our house is not Ted proof!

Found another thing that does not work properly on Windows: Ruby... install does not want to install watir :(

interesting clocks we have here!

Seems that Ping.fm is broken. Non of my tweets this afternoon have come through :(

Awesome Microsoft marketing. receive spam sent from Hotmail, stating: "Hotmail: Trusted email with Microsoft’s powerful SPAM protection."

Interesting to see, my Nokia E71 synchronizes properly with exchange when on the WiFi, when on UMTS it does not want to sync calendar though

Wishing I had a better memory. Wrote a load of QA Engineer profiles and now having issues coming up with the specs for what we need here.

Looking forward to a nice lunch out here in Hilversum

Trying to get my head around all the shades of pink that seem to exist on girlsgogames.nl

grmbl, current traffic situation around Amsterdam is not making me any happier. Guess I'd best leave earlie-ish today.

Jite is not it. There only is a beta version released in 2008. Shame looks like a nice tool, but I do not feel confident in a 2yr old beta.

Checking Jira/Jite/Rally to see if that will work for us.

Hilversum is relatively snow free compared to the mess I ran into in Amsterdam. Nice quick drive to Spil this morning!

That's a bit of a setback. First candidate I was supposed to talk to for a QA Engineer job in Hilversum already has a new job. I'm too late!

It stopped snowing and now started to *seriously* snow... Can hardly see the neighbours place acros the inner courtyard!

Ted's idea of a latte!

Looking for a solid, cheap alternative for UPC, considering we watch TV 3 times a year or so... Would very much like to keep BBC though.

Ted in a box!

Pondering a restart of the PC here at home. It has managed to not just be slow, but go way beyond that, reminding me of my 1st laptop @MP

Ted is very busy reading one of his many books!

That's weird: ask for a repeat recipe at the doctor: it will be ready tomorrow. Go to them and you get your recipe today.

Jukebox needs to be played with starting early morning!

Heading off back to Amsterdam. Let's see if we can do it faster than this morning (2.5 hrs should be easy to beat I hope!)

Apparently end of the month I need to be in Katowice, Poland. Curious to see how that place is.

Took a mere 10 minutes to reschedule a visit to the GGD to next month.

at least have some time to see the scenery. Lots of geese along the road today!

traffic jam according to the news 17km long. All i can tell is that i'm standing still.

wonderful country, snow and frost broke a part of the highway causing 15 km of trafficjam..

Atag servicedesk managed to resolve our induction-cooking-plate-issue with one simple suggestion: keep the power off of it for 30 minutes.

Got our new WiFi printer/scanner working properly! Just don't trust Epson to recognize the correct network setup.

Some bleeding moron in this building just started drilling a hole in one of the concrete walls waking up Ted. I now want this guy dead.

Ready to call it a day at my first day here at Spil, it's been a ball!

Great! It is snowing... and not just a bit...

Cleaned up some old crap: paperwork of over 5 years old which was already redundant when it was sent originally...
