Na lang zoeken naar een huur huis had ik besloten een huis te gaan kopen. Na een aantal bezichtigingen was er dan een huis wat naast een aardige prijs ook wel erg leuk was. Na een maand van onderhandelen met de makelaar had ik dan een huis. Januari kreeg ik de sleutel. De volgende dag gelijk begonnen met verbouwen. De vorige bewoners hadden een verlaagt platfon geplaatst. Behalve dat dit het erg lelijk was het ook nog eens er benouwent. Dus die moest er uit. Dat was makkelijker gezegt dan gedaan. Al het stucwerk van de muren kwam mee naar beneden. Dit moest er dus maar allemaal af. Zo gezegd zo gedaan. Samen met een vriend van mij de muren kaal gemaakt stuuc middellen gehaald. Geen van ons beide had enige ervaring met stucen, maar oefening baard kust. Nu ben ik dan eindelijk toe gekomen aan wat schilder, leuk omdat de vorige bewooners veel muuren rood hadden gemaakt. Ik zou het graag wit willen. Maar dat is moeilijker dan het lijkt want wit op rood dekt niet echt. Ach ja dan later nog maar een laag.

The title might not be what you think, is was not attacked by a nespresso machine.
This is about privacy.
I’m not really keen on companies that want to know every thing about me.
My parent got them selfs a nepresso machine, which makes great coffie. The concept is great. Make a machine that takes only your cups, like the senseo. You now know the customers will buy your coffie because other brands don’t sell cups for your machines.
So far the concept is great, now come the weird part. You can’t buy nespresso cups at just any store, you can only buy them at nespresso stores or online. Still I can live whit that. Bud today my mum asked me to grab some coffie from the store before coming over to there house.
Being the good son that I am I got the coffie. I had to wait in line for the cups for about 10-20 minutes.
Once I placed my order for 30 decafe cups they asked for whom the where. I repleyed for my mother, them the caisier asked for the address. Which I found strange and asked why. He repleyed that they only sell cups to nespresso owners. So I gave him my mothers address. At this point it got weird, he asked why I wanted the decafe, this was not the normal coffie that my parents drink. I repleyed that this is the coffie my mother asked me to get. He nodded his head and I payed.
Still this the most scarry thing every, a copany telling me what my mother likes.

My computers where getting old and tiered, my workstation is hitting 6 years, which we all know is old in computer terms.
My laptop is just 4 years old, but getting slow with only 512MB of ram.
To spare you all with to much technical details, I needed a new PC.
With my housing problem, I’m between houses at the moment living here and there, I needed a small portable notebook.
I was very impressed by my friends macbooks, which they just whip out of there backs open and started working on them.
My first reaction was wow, if I did that with my laptop the battery would be dead in just a couple of minutes. They let me have a go at there precious machines.
My first thought about the Mac was I’ve I could get used to working with OS X, this was probably least of my switching problems. I got the hang of the os in just a couple of minutes. I’ve used GNU/Linux before and OS X just seems like the next step.
My mind was made-up, I going Mac. Know can the hard part, which Mac, a macbook or maybe a macbook pro. This decision needed to be thought over and over again. ^ months later I just made a decision I’l get a macbook. Why, well because it’s small and has more then enough power. Since my old laptop just wasn’t cutting it any more, I decided to get one.
And now only a few day’s later I’m hitting my self over head, Why o why didn’t I bought one sooner. I just love my little notebook.
I’m using it every where, this blog post was written on the way home form work

At one morning while cycling to work there was a lot of commotion on the Dam square.
Apparently a guy had climbed in to one of the statues of the palace.
I had my camera with me and took picture of the event, it was just a quick snap.
As soon as I arrived at the office I took a look at the picture which turned out good.
Not soon after that I uploaded it to a big Dutch news site Nu.nl, which showed it on there front-page. I could not be more excited.
Al most 7 months later one of my nu.nl pictures made in to a exposition.
The exposition is Thursday 20-3-2008 at 20:00.
I’ve no idea what kind of exposition it will be, but if your near by “Hotel Arena” just drop in.
