En dan heb ik het niet over de serie met Hugh Laurie maar over de woning in Gouda die Lon en ik sinds 4 juli huren. Het is een 4-kamerwoning op de 3e (en bovenste) verdieping geworden. Voor de kenners: op het Olympiadeplein in (Oud) Goverwelle. Een levendige, multiculturele en kinderrijke buurt (aldus de woningcorporatie). Daarnaast is de wijk ook behoorlijk groen. En al redelijk bekend terrein voor mij, want het is op nog geen vijf minuten fietsen van waar ik nu tijdelijk woon (woning van een collega in Goverwelle).
We zijn nu al een ruime week druk aan het klussen en shoppen. Aan de woning hoefde niet veel te gebeuren. Vooral het gebruikelijke spul als schilderen (maar lang niet eens alles en alleen muren), behangen en vloer bedekken. Dat laatste zal bestaan uit laminaat en tapijt. Ondertussen ken ik alle bouwmarkten van Gouda al van binnen. In shoppen gaat toch wel erg veel tijd zitten. Maar tot nu toe heeft het naast veel klusmateriaal een kledingkast, een douchegordijn en een bed opgeleverd. Die voor mij essentiële zaken om er te kunnen wonen. Nu alleen nog een verduisterend (rol)gordijn voor op de slaapkamer en ik ben er klaar voor. Andere dingen als een kookplaat en pannen heb ik de loop der jaren al bijeengespaard.
Lon nlijft voorlopig nog even in Rotterdam wonen. Da's wel zo handig qua afronden van haar studie. Maar van Rotterdam is het niet zo heel ver naar Gouda Goverwelle, dus de combinatie van mijn kookkunsten en de adsl verbinding zal al snel onweerstaanbaar voor haar zijn ^_^

| Alpha Blondy live au Nighttown Rotterdam |
[Dec. 4th, 2005|02:08 pm] |
En ik was erbij! Dankzij mijn oplettende vriendin ^_^ Die had me al op het optreden gewezen en afgelopen zondag herinnerde ze mij er nogmaals aan. Via internet waren geen kaarten meer verkrijgbaar (concert was op dinsdag) maar Lon was zo lief om op maandag bij een aantal GWK's en 'grotere postkantoren' langs te gaan. Bij de eerste GWK had ze al beet en kocht twee van de laatste kaarten.
Dinsdagavond iets na achten stonden Jeroen en ik in de rij bij Nighttown. Concert was ondertussen uitverkocht. Rond half negen waren we binnen en omdat zo'n beetje de hele vloer nog leeg was konden we helemaal doorlopen naar het podium. Er was geen voorprogramma en om half tien begon de band te spelen. Direct was het een feest, van muziek en van herkenning. Heerlijk om de nummers die we helemaal hebben grijsgedraaid thuis en op vakantie nu eens echt live te horen. En heerlijk om Alpha live bezig te zien, soms op nog geen meter afstand :) We hebben hem zelfs de hand (of in Jeroen's geval een vuist) kunnen schudden. We zijn geen fangirls, maar dat is toch wel leuk om mee te maken. De sfeer was heel relaxt. Meerdere keren klom er iemand op het podium om mee te dansen (of wat voor dansen moest doorgaan). De beveiliging wilde meteen ingrijpen maar Alpha gaf aan dat dit niet nodig was. En inderdaad ging het allemaal goed.
Tot elf uur ging Alpha door. Jeroen en ik hebben ons anderhalf uur staan uitleven voor het podium, en dat was heerlijk. Er werden veel oude nummers gespeeld (de nieuwere albums vinden we iets minder en kennen we dus niet zo goed) dus we konden lekker meezingen. Het was trouwens opvallend dat het publiek heel gemengd was. Niet alleen maar rastafari met zware dreadlocks, maar veel nationaliteiten door elkaar heen tot aan blanke vrouwen van in de vijftig aan toe. Alpha spreekt blijkbaar een breed publiek aan. Echt uniek om dit een keer meegemaakt te hebben. Ik vind het jammer dat ik nooit een concert van Bob Marley zal meemaken, maar Alpha Blondy is the next best thing ^_^
*hugt Lonneke nog maar eens*

| Sail |
[Aug. 20th, 2005|07:51 am] |
Last Wednesday I went to the opening of Sail in Amsterdam. The company I work for had chartered a partyship to take a selection of my colleagues and our customers straight into the Sail armada. It was a wonderful day, not in the least because of the beautiful weather.
In the morning we sailed out to pick up the Tall Ships in the harbour of IJmuiden. Actually not that much sail is used during Sail since using the ship's engine is mandatory. Still a very pretty sight to see all those ships in the morning light. The atmosphere was very relaxed as we made our way to IJmuiden. I had a few chats with the customers, one of which turned out to know quite a lot about ships since he had been sailing for the better part of his life. Lucky him that he got selected to be on board. Not all of our guests made it to the boat in time, so some had to be ferried to our ship later on. Not everyone was impressed with the armada though. These swans could not be bothered to move as the ships passed.
When the armada reached IJmuiden all the ships turned around and waited for the Tall Ships to start their journey to Amsterdam. Most of the ships in the armada were assigned to sail along with a particular Tall Ship. Our assigned ship was one of the last to sail out, so we got to see most of the ships pass us by before we left for Amsterdam ^_^ It's amazing to see that so many ships can sail close together without anything going wrong. This was one of the unusual moments where heavy traffic doesn't lead to road rage, although sometimes a horn was blown to prevent a ship getting crushed by a bigger ship.
So after we saw Tolkien, Sinterklaas and even a train pass by, we headed back to Amsterdam ourselves. It was an event I thoroughly enjoyed and I hope to do this again one day.
Transportation and traffic jams sucked. I don't want to waste many words on that, but suffice it to say that it took me two and a half hours to get from the docks to the trainstation.. and did I mention I was sunburnt and it was still rather hot? |

| working nine to five |
[Jun. 5th, 2005|02:48 pm] |
Well actually it's half past eight to five ;) Wednesday was my first workday at Intramed. The first few days have been a pleasant experience. The colleagues are a nice bunch of people and the atmosphere is relaxed. First thing I need to do is get acquainted with the software (Intramed sells software for therapists). I also have to learn about all the rules, procedures and protocols that our customers have to deal with in their profession, because those are also an integral part of Intramed. For now I'm reading the help-manual and listening in on customer calls. I'm gonna try and get someone to train me though, since that provides a much more efficient way of learning.
Lunchtime is always a good time, but it's even better at Intramed because it's free ^_^ And we can enjoy lunch in our own grand-cafe with its own bar! The bar even has a beertap, the benefit of which I noticed when I was offered a nice cool beer at the end of the workday on Friday :) One thing about the new job is not so great though: the commuting. I travel by train and bus, which takes me an hour and a half one way. So I'm trying to get a place to life near my work. Shouldn't take more than six months to get one I think, since the housing system in Waddinxveen works in my favor. I'll just have to wait for something nice and affordable. For now I've applied for two houses. Should hear more about that this week. |

| geen eigen huis |
[May. 9th, 2005|10:49 pm] |
Even in het Nederlands, want ik heb geen zin om de hele lap te vertalen.
Het gaat toch niet door, mijn verhuizing naar Rotterdam. Niet omdat de
woning niet meer beschikbaar is, maar omdat ik er zelf vanaf zie. Ik
blijf eerst nog even thuis wonen en ga op zoek naar iets permanenters.
Het liefst in Waddinxveen, waar ik straks ga werken. Maar ik sta ook
ingeschreven in de regio Utrecht.
Afgelopen donderdag ben ik met mijn ouders wezen kijken in de woning.
Zij hadden er toch wel wat meer op aan te merken dan ik in al mijn
enthousiasme had. Eigenlijk had ik helemaal niet kritisch naar de
woning gekeken, omdat ik meteen al besloten had dat ik het wilde hebben
en zo snel mogelijk wilde verhuizen. Die buitenkans wilde ik mij niet
laten ontgaan. Qua direkte beschikbaarheid is het zeker een buitenkans,
en de huur is lekker laag, maar voor de rest valt er meer op af te
dingen dan ik mijzelf durfde toe te geven. En ik wilde ook teveel
tegelijk: eind mei verhuizen, per juni een nieuwe baan, en tussendoor
ook nog even mijn scriptie afronden.
Op zich is er qua verhuizen geen haast. Het is niet zo dat de woning
meteen naar een ander doorgaat. En alle punten van kritiek die ik bij
nader inzien had blijken meer bespreekbaar dan de eigenlijke huurder
aanvankelijk deed voorkomen. Maar ondertussen is de lust mij een
beetje ontgaan. Ik wil eerst die scriptie eindelijk eens af, een goede
start maken in mijn nieuwe baan, en ondertussen op zoek naar een
'echte' huurwoning. Want onderhuur blijft hoe dan ook een nadeel van de
woning in Rotterdam. Net als de gaskachels en geiser in de badkamer
trouwens. Over een aantal maanden kan ik veel comfortabeler verhuizen,
heb ik er meer rust en tijd voor. Ik hoop dan snel iets leuks te
vinden. Vooralsnog blijf ik, met enige spijt en tegenzin, gewoon zitten
waar ik zit. Dat is voorlopig even niet anders, en het voelt als een
goede keuze. |

I found a place in Rotterdam, so it's comfortably close to Lonneke :) It's a maisonette, and it serves my needs perfectly (for the time being). The planning is that I move there in the last weekend of May. My new job starts the first of June, so that works out well. Rotterdam is closer to Waddinxveen than Vianen is. I will be glad when I'm all settled, cause I'm not really looking forward to the moving part ;) The place could use some painting and definitely needs some cleaning. I think I'll only have time for the latter, what with my study needing finishing and my job starting. But for the time being it'll be a good place for me to live and I'll try not to mind the orange/pink bathroom and the blue toilet too much ;) |

Starting the 1st of June, I'm going to work fulltime at Intramed, a company that provides software for paramedical practices. I'll start my work at the service desk. After a training period of several months I'll also start working on projects for the company. I'm looking forward to getting started at Inramed, not in the least because ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) sonjav works there as well. Thanks again for introducing me there sis ^_^ |

De TNT heeft een kwaliteitsprijs gewonnen en viert dat met een paginagrote advertentie in de Volkskrant. In die advertentie worden alle medewerkers bij naam genoemd en krijgen ze een persoonlijk compliment. Eén medewerker zal iets minder gelukkig zijn met dit initiatief.

| voice over |
[Mar. 29th, 2005|10:17 pm] |
After watching an episode of Desperate Housewives tonight I came to a conlusion: I hate voice-overs in television series. The voice-over in Dead Like Me was one of the main reasons why I stopped watching it. I thought that the voice-over in Desperate Housewives wasn't so bad. But after a few episodes it started to irritate me again. The know-it-all attitude, the pauzes in the narrative before telling the clue as if the viewer hadn't guessed it already.. it annoys the hell out of me.
I really hope tv-show writers don't make a habit out of using voice-overs |

Gisteren in het nieuws: de burgemeester van een plaatsje in Turkije heeft het standbeeld van Sint Nicolaas laten vervangen door een metershoog beeld van de kerstman. Dit heeft, naast verontwaardiging in België en Nederland, geleid tot een politieke rel met Rusland. Sint Nikolaas is namelijk beschermheilige van Rusland, dus dat ligt een beetje gevoelig. En dat deze vervangen wordt door een Amerikaans commerciëel icoon als de kerstman zal ook niet lekker vallen. Anyway, het probleem ligt nu op het bureau van premier Erdogan.
Lonneke en ik waren het er over eens: terugkeer van Sint Nikolaas moet een toelatingseis voor toetreding tot de EU zijn voor Turkije :) |

| ADSL for Africa |
[Feb. 26th, 2005|10:02 pm] |
Lonneke told me that she read a column about how lucky we Dutchies are that broadband connections are so cheap in Holland, for example as compared to the rates in South-Africa. It reminded her of platitudes like "eat your dinner; children in Africa would give their left leg for that!". Which in turn reminded me of all the telethons raising aid for Africa. I can see it now..
'Come on people, donate! It only means 5 minutes less surfing per day, and the children in Africa need it harder than you do for their education. Meet little Nelson who got his ICT degree through his broadband connection and is now responsible for stealing your job by outsourcing. And all thanks to the 'ADSL for Africa' program! So go ahead and donate a little of your datalimiet for children in need!'
Accidently, I understand that broadband connections are much cheaper relatively in France and Belgium. |

| computer troubles |
[Feb. 19th, 2005|12:59 pm] |
When I got home from work on Monday, I noticed that my computer had stalled completely. The monitor didn't get a signal and the pc didn't respond to reboot. Even after turning it off and on the problem remained.
So I started troubleshooting to find out which component was the weakest link. After a lot of dis- an reconnecting, I ended up with either the processor or the main board. Since my hard disks and cd-rom players started acting weird as soon as I connected them to the main board, I figured this ruled out the processor as the culprit.
Next day I went to my brother to pick up a spare computer so I at least could get on-line. Because it only has 128 MB of RAM I couldn't use it to run my statistical program. So I needed a new main board fast. After some online searching and comparing, I dedided on this one. I picked it up on Thursday and Friday was Installation Day. By now I had completely disassembled my own computer, and had made several changes to my brother's pc, so installing new hardware was something to look forward to. When the board was in place and the devices were connected I started up the computer. Nothing much happened, apart from the fans spinning and the hard disks making noises as if they really didn't want to work today. Because the disks had spinned up before, I installed one of them in my brother's pc. It worked fine. So now it was either the processor or the power supply that was causing problems. I hadn't really paid attention to the latter, because devices seemed to work fine as long as they weren't connected to the main board.
So I went through the trouble of getting the power supply out of my brother's pc and connecting it to my new main board. And voila, it all worked like a charm. So I had to get to the shops quick to get a new power supply. I ended up with this one, which is nicely quiet and has some shiney leds build into it. Now my pc looks like an 80's discotheque at night :)
In the end, my investment in the new main board was unnecessary. But it has its advantages. This main board is newer than the one I had, and still compatible with my hardware. My old board couldn't handle faster and newer processors and memory, and didn't have things like USB 2.0 and S-ATA connections. My new board has. So if I want to upgrade in the near future I now have way more possibilities than my old board could offer. |

With the pope in the hospital and a lot of religious people praying for his well-being, I realised a fundamental flaw in saying prayers for someone. When you are religious you probably believe that god's ways are beyond comprehension of mere humans, or you believe that god doesn't meddle with earthly affairs any more. Either way, people praying for the pope to get better could be considered going against god's will.
If you believe that god has a plan for everyone, then surely the pope getting sick is all part of a divine plan. God knows best, and if god thinks it's time to call the pope to him then humans shouldn't try to stop that. Yet people are praying to god for some divine intervention in making the pope better. They are actually asking god to reconsider and foregoing the belief that whatever god decides is best. And if you believe that god takes no direct action in the everyday life of humans, then what's the point of asking for divine intervention? And why stop at the pope's case; there are thousands of people dying every day. If people aren't praying for them, isn't that a bit unfair? And if god is omniscient, then he doesn't need a reminder from people to know who is or isn't dying and who should or shouldn't.
Needless to say, I sometimes find that belief-systems are somewhat flawed ;) |

This weekend was the weekend of pressies and food (a.k.a. christmas). There was an abundance of food and no shortage in pressies. I got Sarah McLachlan cd's, cd-storagefolders, books on wine, the cardgame Saga and new slippers. But by far the best pressie is the one I got from Lonneke. She had the brilliant idea to contact my online friends and ask them for recipies. She printed out the responses and put them in a ring binder. So now I have my own personal cookbook \o/
So thanks to all who contributed ^_^ I will try out all the recipies (which might make Lon regret ever thinking up this pressie ;) ). And thanks to my wonderful girlfriend for giving me this very original pressie *HUG* |

| Sarah in the house |
[Dec. 14th, 2004|01:32 pm] |
No, sadly she's not here in person. But with the Sarah McLachlan dvd's that arrived today I can at least enjoy her music in audio and video. And not only her music, cause both dvd's (Mirrorball and A Life of Music) contain interviews with Sarah \o/ That will keep me entertained while I wait for the Afterglow dvd to arrive :)
They took their sweet time packaging my order at dvdsoon.com, but once sent it took only a couple of workdays to arrive at my house. And of course, SML is well worth the wait ^_^ |

| Sarah McLachlan in concert |
[Nov. 20th, 2004|09:20 pm] |
Last Thursday I went to see and hear Sarah McLachlan perform in Amsterdam. It was more seeing than hearing since the tickets sold out so fast that we ended up in row 28. But that was okay in two ways. First it meant that Sarah is very popular in Holland and that is a good thing. Second, the Pepsi stage where she performed isn't that big so we had a pretty good view on the stage after all. I like this venue. It has a comfy and intimate atmosphere, and the stage isn't too big so you keep a good overview.
The day started out well, since Saskia texted to warn me that Sarah was about to perform on the radio. I surely would have missed that so thanks again ^_^ Sarah sounded great even in the morning after her first gig. Yes her first gig, since she ended up doing two shows. Because the first one sold out so fast, probably to the surprise of both her and her management, they quickly scheduled another show on Wednesday. Which sold out as well. Sarah actually said during the concert that they didn't really know what to expect from Holland since she last performed here ten years ago as an opening act for The Bloodhound Gang (this caused a giggle from the audience). Well now she knows that she has a lot of fans over here ^_^ Anyway, she did a few songs and an interview on the radio. The interviewer was rather crap though enthusiastic, but Sarah sounded wonderful and spontaneous.
Lonneke and I would meet up with the others in a restaurant near the venue. But the trip to the restaurant turned out to be a small nightmare. I'll spare you the details, but we ended up walking poorly lit cycle lanes in the pouring rain for a frustrating forty minutes. Whereas two sites on the internet promised it would be a ten to fifteen minute walk. Luckily we had a shortcut on the way back.
Friendly as the Pepsi stage may appear, their security personnel are flatout rude. Some people in our company brought their own drinks. Those were confiscated and trashed without question by the security gorillas. So if you have a long travel back after the concert, you will have to do without any drinks as far as Pepsi is concerned. This prompted Lonneke and me to boycott their bar.
This rudeness couldn't spoil our evening though. The evening opened with the talented Butterfly Boucher. Her performance and commercial skills prompted a lot of people to buy her cd, with or without autograph. And then the moment I had been looking forward to for a few moths. I've been growing into a Sarah fan for the last year, and that got me more and more excited for this show. Let me get one small disappointment out of the way first. In the lower regions of her voice, Sarah was overpowered by the band. I guess she wasn't in top shape because the music didn't seem to be too loud. When I listen to Mirrorball she never seems to have any problem letting herself be heard. But of course, on a cd they can tweak a lot of things to make the sound perfect. Anyway, it was only a minor quirk and Sarah sounded strong and confident enough in the higher regions of her voice. Except for one moment near the end of the show, where here voice failed for a second. But she turned that into a funny thing and the audience really didn't mind. Actually, the audience needed some time to warm up. But once some people started getting excited, the rest of the audience shed their inhibitions and cheered along.
Because she didn't know what kind of set to put together for her Dutch audience, Sarah decided to use her personal favorites. This turned out to be a good choice. Of course she played a lot of songs from Afterglow, but there were songs from Surfacing and Fumbling as well. And she did her rendition of Silence as well because this was such a big hit in Holland. Although my particular company (Buffy fans) would have preferred Full of Grace ;) She did sing a few of my favorites as well (Push, Hold On, Answer and Sweet Surrender) so I was a very happy fan ^_^ Sarah ended her show in an appropriate way by returning to the stage solo and sing a version of Angel behind the piano. It felt like a personal goodbye to her audience.
I really loved seeing and hearing Sarah perform live. Her songs always stand the test of a live performance, and so does she. I hope that with the warm welcome her Dutch fans gave her she will return to Holland soon :) |

Ik ben vandaag naar de studentendag van het Ministerie van Financiën geweest. De dag was bedoeld om studenten kennis te laten maken met Minfin en eventueel te kijken wat voor stage- en loopbaanmogelijkheden zij bieden. Om er geen saaie dag van te maken werden de deelnemers in drie groepen ingedeeld die ieder een opdracht kregen, waarvan het resultaat aan het eind van de dag moest worden gepresenteerd. Onze groep moest een symposium over de Miljoenennota en het bijbehorende Belastingplan organiseren. De andere groepen moesten respectievelijk een dagblad en een Europese bijlage over MinFin maken. Daarvoor waren ook een aantal studenten van de aangrenzende Hogeschool voor de Kunsten ingehuurd.
Maar voordat we konden beginnen kregen we eerst een introductie met een voorwoord van Minister Zalm. Erg leuk dat hij hier tijd voor kon vrijmaken, want het is een behoorlijk drukbezet persoon. Daarna mochten we aan de slag. Het leuke van de opzet van de dag is dat we zelf alle informatie bijeen moesten zoeken en daardoor veel werknemers te spreken kregen. Wat me opviel is dat er een open-deur sfeer heerst en iedereen, voor zover hun agenda dat toeliet, wel wilde meewerken om aan de informatie te komen. Het was een mooie manier om een beeld te krijgen van werken bij MinFin.
Na de presentatie van de opdrachten, die uiteraard uitliep, was het tijd voor de borrel. Hier kon het echte netwerken beginnen. Het grappige was dat een medewerker van MinFin dezelfde studie had gedaan als ik. En toen ik hem vertelde over mijn scriptie (over woningbezit van ouderen) nodigde hij mij meteen uit om mijn onderzoeksresultaten te komen presenteren zodra ik die klaar heb. Da's dus een extra motivatie om mijn scriptie zo goed en zo snel mogelijk af te ronden :)
Het was een leerzame, produktieve en vermoeiende dag. |
