Enjoyed episode 1-3 of season 1 of Chuck. Good series! Now all I need to do is catch up!
Enjoying a very nice Donata, thanks Elio and Tatiana!! It is great! (have not (yet) dipped cookies in my wine yet though)

Myself and Tedster out in the snow enjoying the sun (me) and banana (Ted)

Going out into the blasted snow to make some nice memorable snapshots of the little one blundering around in the white crap.

Getting all ready to start playing around with the Rally-Jira connector. Not sure if I have enough rights in Rally though (am not admin)
Dude, it's a lama!

Bret cleaning my car! Life's great!

Guess I will be going back via an interesting detour... the touristic route through Diemen!
Amazing how difficult it is to import stuff into Rally. That importer is extremely strict and does not give very clear feedback most times.
Funny to see people complaining about the use of Jira without even knowing what it *is*!
Just plugged @aikomastboom for a possible job here at Spil in Development.

Shame i have no proper camera with me, really nice clouds with pretty light effects

Why does IE8 moan something about compatibility mode the moment I refresh a page? All I want is the lates version of the page!
Network issues are preventing some of our colleagues from doing their jobs, which is a bit of a shame. The look bored now.
Funny to read the rants of an early adopter about his Nexus One. Complaining about the battery life for one.. @lwolters Hoe is ie verder?

Jira Studio is now getting up and running. Finally starting to get somewhere now!
Fed up with sinus-infection, going to the doctor for something strong against it.

Spyker website was clearly not ready for a CNN Breaking new headline... they're down alright.

Awesome! First time ever I have a 419-scam (nigerian-scam) on one of my own domains! :) w00t! They have finally somehow found me!
Not sure who is slower Cust Support of Atlassian or those from Cyberlink...
Fullhouse here in Hilversum with Oleksij Rak and 5 others visiting for a few weeks!
Another morning, another windows update... Great!
My head feels not too fit today. Somewhat glad I do not have to spend time on an airport let alone in an airplane today!

Oh dear lord! I installed QTP (2 GB!!!!) and now it needs to download ADDITIONAL CRAP! HP, your product sucks and eats away my HD!
oh wow... HP is really good a blowing up software beyond proportion. 1.4GB download for the trial of QTP!? that is 1.399GB too many!

Just agreed with myself: even with a fancy workflow Jira sucks big time for Testcase management. It simply is not equipped for it!

Postponing trip to Poland to later on, when weather is a bit more reasonable.
oooohhh ANWB... merely using a cookie and calling that "protection against multiple entries" ?
How many updates can Microsoft force on me in one day? I already had 3 installed and had to reboot twice for that, now another one!?
Good to see that the region I have to go in Poland is having severe weather and power issues: http://ping.fm/IuX4J
Getting ready to hit the road early and flying low. See if I can get to Hilversum today!

slowly prepping for a drive to Schiphol to pickup Laurens, Inna & Sophie who come back from Basel today.

Facebook adverts can be hilarious! I just noticed this one: a Sjoelbak maker in Milwaukie. Exciting board game for all ages!

The pelmeni ready to eat!

Awaiting the fresh, homemade, Syberian Pelmeni's. With a Pelmeni maker it is relatively easy to make them!
Already not looking forward to getting to Hilversum tomorrow. Apparently spreading salt is difficult due to the snow... ok.... wtf?
:( Slept from about 1:00 till 3:40 due to excessive caughing. Then around 4 Ted woke up. Now both Ted and Nadia are asleep again.
