Well been a while again I guess. I can honestly say that I have been pretty busy with, well work
The good news is that as per 1st of June I am being promoted to System Administrator (so no more Junior…
) But I do know it means that my responsibilites will grow (a lot) but hey, nothing too major and nothing I can’t handle (part of it I was already doing anyway, so no biggy
)
In other news, at the end of this month I will also be attending our summit in Italy (near lake Magiore) So fun stuff. Not so funny is flying back on Sunday (arriving at Schiphol around 9ish at night) and then going to work again the next day
Now, in a gripe… Is it just me or is the UPC.nl site (specially the HTTPS part) as slow as can be? Honestly… Pfft
Always nice trying to register with them for an online access account and constantly getting the notification: your session expired (with both IE8 running in IE7 mode, and Opera 9.21) Sheesh
In happier news, I recently bought the Orange Box from Steam. And well, Portal is indeed as addictive as people are claiming it to be
So, guess where I am off to now? 
Well then, first time I am actually using the EEE PC on the train (which was the reason why I bought it in the first place. Admittedly it took some time to get used to the keyboard, and I am still not quite used to it yet, but it’s getting there.
Anyway, today proved to be an interesting day. Let alone because of the DLST change (1 hour forward) which meant it was light when I left the house, and supposedly still light when I should have gone home. I mention supposedly because I was still working. But hey, it got done
Tomorrow is April 1st so I wonder what pranks will be pulled. Hopefully not too much
And no I have none planned….
Anywho, I better try to relax. I still have to work for the rest of the week
Please note that I mention, supposedly
Right now, well I am working… Sunday just so happens to be one of those days that are just right to do maintenance.
Apart from that I had a great weekend. Lots of fun on Friday and especially on Saturday. Screaming your lungs out while dancing with friends (especially if they are doing the same thing) is something that I haven’t done in a long time - and well that was a lot of fun. Before that I got together with some friends and had a nice time just chatting away about bits and bobs
Owh and more and more I am liking this EEE. Although I must admit that running Linux on it is maybe not going to be permanent… I do miss a few things that I could do with Windows that Linux can’t. Yes, I said it… Thunderbird is great, but I rely on Outlook for a lot of things (PIM)
