“During the work, you have to be sure that you haven't left any holes, that you've captured everything, because afterwards it will be too late.” - Henri Cartier-Bresson

Waste of time

Was taught HTML basics at the course. Erm. I already knew that, thanks. Helped the others a bit, in between popping throat tablets and other nice pills. Cough. Sniff. Straight to bed with a bowl of hot soup. Woke up at 3.50. Checked mail. Found new CROON submission. Yay. There have ...

Grin and bear

Spent half of Sunday down the country at my friend L.'s surrounded by toddlers. Was relaxed in a way, but had work on my mind. Woke up today with a soar throat which got worse during the course. Shiver shiver. I *cannot* afford to be ill this week, so just ...

Deadlines

... don't you hate them? I actually need them... but would very much like to know about them some time before they're due. Well... it doesn't always work that way and so I am facing a few of them for next Wednesday and Thursday. Small problem: I'm on that course ...

October got colder

Work is taking over my life - I think things will be hectic for the next 7 weeks while I'm on the course. I've a few too many things going on at the same time. I need to write some instructions quick so the others can take over some ...

Course II

Tough day at the course - had to do the most complicated of thinking right at the end of the day when our brains were running over with theory. Got a bit fed up in the end - a lot of my energy goes into having to work together with ...

Course

I'm going on a course next week... only it was this week. Got a call at work at 9.45 where the hell I was. Brilliant, we'd been told it was next week. Took a cab to the course, only 5 minutes away. Interesting course - my boss and I are the ...

The Ostrich

Whatever you do, avoid restaurant 'The Ostrich' in Utrecht. Having been turned down at two other restaurants - fully booked - we finally got an 'ok' at the Ostrich. A table would be 'free in seconds, just wait at the bar'. It was 7.20. We had to be at the cinema ...

Cabbie

Took care of business today - got cab into town, stopping by my p.o.box to finally get the mail, then had a haircut & agreed with J. (the girl who cuts my hair) to grow it. Haven't had my hair long since 1987. I'll try it for a winter... if ...

Spilt shake

Very annoyed today by flames on two mailing lists I am on. Considering leaving one and ending the other. Need to fix my e-mail filters to get rid of off topic posts. Worked intensively on wwwboard script today and got it running. Very pleased with that. I'll do the vote script ...

Proudly presenting zie.nl

Zie.nl, the new Dutch video sharing site that I (and our team) have been working on for the last 4 months has just gone live. We had cake to celebrate. www.zie.nl Yes, we realise it's teal. No, we're not that keen on it either. Yes, we'll work on it.
