Margie and I went for a walk in the evening sun. We had a mission: try out my new SLR camera. I’m very pleased with the resulting photography. And how I love Flickr! My PC is still busy uploading… we took 300 pictures of which about a hundred passed our judgment.
What do you think?


Other shots of the day:

And I’m happy with it. Went to a nearby park yesterday with Kessie.

Okay, I’m almost back. After a few months of too much work and no play, combined with no sporting (painful knee), the revival of a nasty habit (smoking) and hardly any motivation to cook a healthy meal, I seem to have refound a balance.
Two weeks ago I stopped smoking and stopped working long hours. I even took some days off. Today I will be running the 10km CPC in The Hague. As a preparation I have been on a high-protein diet and trained regularly. With results:


Oh I have to leave. The run starts in 2 hours, wish me luck!

The company I work for (SFK) is looking for a full-time Data Warehouse Developer (m/f).
You should know how to program OO, preferably in Python. Be keen on Linux and open source in general. Know how to handle large databases. Your dutch should be fluent (sorry about that).
They’re nice to me.
What’s the catch? You’ll end up working closely with me

Today I ordered my “La Fonero“, so I can choose to share my internet access point.
The question rises: will I be a Linus or a Bill?

I will be attending the Python Users Nederland meeting thursday the 4th of August in The Hague.
One of the advantages of living in the Randstad: one is always closer to interesting events.
