In 2005 at my visit of the “What The Hack”-festival my friend Dave gave me a t-shirt. It was a t-shirt of the company O’Reilley. On the back of the shirt is written “The future is open”. That sounds as a very philosophic saying, but it isn’t. It is simple a reference to Open Source…
Ellen ten Damme
Yesterday I visited an concert of Ellen ten Damme… and it was awesome. It is not the first time that I visited a concert of her. Then other time was in the city of Oldenzaal in a theater and that made it for the public-side very static. It was great to enjoy the music and…
Vaya Con Dios
Yesterday I have been with my friend Patrick to a concert of Vaya Con Dios in Gronau, Germany. First we had a dinner in the city of Enschede at “De Kater”. I had spareribs and they were as spareribs are meant to be. They were truly delicious. After that we drove towards Gronua, which is…
The terror of ringtones…
Some time ago I was having dinner with a friend. Our conversation was rather serious… and all of a sudden those cellphone ringing all the time started to annoy me.

Nikon User Club
Yesterday Nikon organized a club day for the Dutch Nikon User Club (of which I am since a little member). This event was held in “De Jaarbeurs” in the city of Utrecht. At first I expected a day with lots of advertising about Nikon-products, but I was very wrong. It all turned out into some…

Words…
Some times people say things that cut deep… meant or not. Words are harsh weapons. Yesterday someone made remarks about my bad eye. I know it is not the prettiest sight, but darn… I don’t think with my eyes. Neither my emotions and feelings are controlled by that eye. It just an eye that doesn’t…
Just a nice picture….
No more to say to it 🙂
A conversation with an ISP helpdesk employee
Today I was at the home of colleague to make it possible for him to connect from home with his laptop to the company network. At first all went smoothly. The wireless network-adapter was installed within a few minutes. It got a strong and clear signal. And of course the connection was secured. But strangely…
It is a small world after all…
Friday evening I had to do overtime. We had work to do on the network that couldn’t be done while people were working on the network. As normally time goes very fast during such a evening. And before I knew it the time was there to catch the last train home. But with enough time…
