This wednesday I finally got my last paycheck from my previous employer. Since it also included vacation money earned last year as well as this, there was a substantial amount of money deposited on my account; about $7.500,00. Seeing as I hadn’t done some serious DVD and CD shopping in quite a while I went on a small shopping spree where, well, things got a little out of hand. Let’s just say that I’m Amazon and Play.com’s new best friend. Therefore there’s going to be a lot of updates to the DVD and CD collection the next few days/weeks as the packages comes to my mailbox.

After about 6 months of procrastination I’ve finally performed my server upgrade. That’s also the reason my homepage was offline a couple of weeks ago. The new server is a Pentium II 300MHz so it’s deffinately faster than the previous Pentium MMX 166MHz. Not everything went smoothly though, as I found out yesterday.

Although it’s only a temporary position there is a chance of steady employment after the 6 month contract is over, so I’m crossing my fingers. It all started when a guy in my orchestra called me and told me he’d heard I was between jobs. So I sent my CV to him, who gave it to his boss, and a couple of hours later I had scheduled a meeting with said boss. After a couple of interview sessions he offered me […] Read more

Things just aren’t going my way these days. A couple of weeks ago we had our first snow. I had already changes the tires on my car to the winter tires but still it was slippery as hell, so I drove really slow. But that just didn’t help. In a crossing I was going left, but my car just kept on sliding forward in the direction of a centre strip. I slammed the brakes and laid in a hard left on the steeringwheel while the ABS was working like crazy. The car slowly started turning but it was like watching the Titanic head for the iceberg. It looked like it was just going to make it but a couple of meters before impact I noticed […] Read more
