We sold our apartment a few weeks before the credit crunch hit hard, phew! We already purchased a new house (new construction) last year. Last week we had to move out of apartment. Unfortunately the new house is not yet finished. Well it is, but the utility companies still need to their stuff and the [...]
So, we moved and I canceled all our subscriptions at the old address. So I thought, it turns out KPN has /dev/null’d my cancellation request for the fixed line twice in a row. Each time customer relations assured me it would take 5 working days for the request to be processed. I just called them [...]
Found here (thanks Jan). Soo true! Happy telecommuter for 2 years now, with the occasional Meeting midweek. I do not expect to be productive (code-wise) on those days.
Someone pointed out an article on How programming can ruin your life. I really enjoyed reading it and could definitely find myself in some (but not all) of the conclusions. The best remedy is IMHO replication. Nothing like your own version 2.0 to keep things in perspective:

Luckily I still had a copy from the old Typo database structure since the Typo SVN version is not compatible with the migrations scripts from Mephisto. So far everything seems to [...]
Yesterday the new Dell 24” 2407WFP arrived for my home office, woohoo! I was really torn over which monitor to get, either the Dell 24” or Apple’s Cinema 23” display. The 30% off deal from Dell this week made it really easy in the end. The Dell was €400,- “cheaper”, 1” larger, has composite, s-video [...]
We purchased a couple of dirt cheap LaserJet 1020 printers for the office and home. While they work fine in Windows and Ubuntu Linux (with proper hackery applied) getting it to work on OSX is not straight forward. If you google around you’ll find both success and horror stories on this printer. It seems HP [...]
Yesterday was my last day at Noterik. I spend almost four years there, had loads of fun, learned a great deal and was able to work on some very
cool projects. Good luck guys, it was excellent!
Today I start my new position at INBC. I’ll be doing all things technical there, oh and [...]
