Looking at a villa in Altea in Spain for a nice week of rest somewhere in April/May
Ted off to bed, making a big pot of tea and then off to find a nice house to spend our holiday in Spain in!
Working my way through ADSL+phone offers to see which one is cheap, reliable and fast. Anyone suggestions?

If this game is anywhere near the trailer I need a console to play it on: http://ping.fm/rHtZN
the amount of spam I receive on my corp mail is amazing.
listening to a band called "Latvian Radio".. now there's an odd name for you for an english singing band. Expected to hear Latvian at least.

Rally Connector for JIRA is configured correctly - w00t!
Awesome! Ruby 1.9.1 simply is too strict. Downgraded to 1.8 and now it works!! (need to fix my config though, cause that is quite broken)
and of course I do not have my memorystick with Ubuntu with me...
Hmmm need an actual linux box to get the jira-rally connector to run. Windows barfs too many parse errors to want to fix.
Bugtracker - Check; Testcase repository - Check; first QA Engineers - Check. Seems like we are getting up and running fast!

WTF. I want to change an account# the taxes get paid on, and now I have to make all kinds of freaking calculations? WHY lord WHY!!!??
Now we are starting to get back to the weather I like: sunny and 11.3 degrees out on the balcony! Sitting outside in the sun atm! (15:00hr)

Ted had a nice long nap today. When i finally went to wake him he was laying as pictured, not covered at all.

Now we are starting to get back to the weather I like: it is sunny and 11.3 degrees out on the balcony! Sitting outside in the sun atm!

Considering putting Ted up for commercials. If he can pull a face like this everybody will buy the product he is selling!

Rode the bike into the parking garage as it started to rain. Talk about good timing! :)

Ted found the Louisville Slugger!

Awesome! When looking out of our bedroom window i now see the darkness of the night rather than all that dumb snow. Rain ain't half bad so now and again!

Spent the best part of an hour laying in the bathtub with "A dark and agry god arises" by Stephen Donaldson. Good times!
Seems to be very difficult to find good strong QA Engineers who actually know what they are talking about.
Duurzaam rijden, duurzame relaties en een zweefstem op AmsterdamFM. w00t! wordt een interessant half uurtje!
Tuning in to AmsterdamFM awaiting Remotion live on electric cars and sustainability. @alefarendsen
Some people have no clue how to write a motivational letter or what should be in their CV... Really disturbing sometimes what I receive.
The road to hilversum was fine, the road IN hilversum, from the car to the office however was a struggle!

Nice to see that I as a user had to tell a webshop that their payment integration was not working.
Starting to build a dashboard in Jira to keep an overview of what is going on.

Entering Hilversum and reaching the office are proving to be the difficult parts today

Snowing fairly hard out here in Hilversum.

Getting ready to go to Hilversum. A bit worried about the prediction of heavy traffic though.

Nothing more frustrating and annoying than a webshop where the checkoutflow doesn't work.

what is it that makes a kid wake up and then refuse to go back to bed for a hours exactly? After 2 hours he falls asleep happily in his bed (generally that is)
