I'm not dead!

Posted by Rob (#1) on November 14, 2007 09:10 CET

It's been three weeks since the last post - eight since the one before that. But I'm not dead, in fact.. I think I'll go for a walk. (Reference will most likely be missed by 80% of the five readers I have left.)

No, it is simply so that life has kept me busy.

There have been ups (concerts, Halloween, K3 Kusjesparade, booking my skiing trip) and there have been downs (mostly work related, but I've also been ill and away).

Capsi continues to get better every week and yet I am still not convinced it is everything I want it to be. And it probably won't be in a few weeks either because I'm taking a small detour for another new project. Fortunately just a blog and therefore much smaller in scale when it comes to programming. "Should be up in no-time!" (TM)

Happy Halloween everyone!

Just got back from Stansted airport with a two hour delay and I have some wonderful London moments to share with you..

..once I find the time. Have to solve a work emergency before bedtime and then head to the office tomorrow morning to finish a delivery (on my day off!). Before heading to Tilburg for Taste of Chaos, after which I'm flying to Bratislava to install said product.

Hopefully Friday will be a bit more relaxed! :)

The Year of Rob

Personal

Posted by Rob (#1) on December 9, 2004 03:25 CET

You know, life year in year out isn't really all that different.

January: I throw things at people for wishing me a happy new year when they are just being polite.
February: I feel screwed for paying more rent per day than usual. My employer understands though and does the same. I shrug off the December and January hatred once Valentines is out of the way, regardless of having any luck on Valentines or not.
March: Anglosphere friends get drunk at St. Patrick's and so do I at the Irish pub.
April: Nothing interesting ever happens in April. I broke that spell with four HorrorPops gigs this year though, including my first trip to Copenhagen. Temperatures rise and life is good again.
May: PSV or Ajax win the Dutch soccer championship. Once in a decade it's Feyenoord.
June: On the 17th, I miss Katy.
July: On the 23rd I turn 17 again and again. Except for one or two years when I was broke, I do this in a foreign country. First because of holidays with parents, later out of habit.
August: KDE developers get together and code, while the eV board doesn't use the dedicated conference time to finish minutes of the members meeting. I bitch at this in various forms without actually just suggesting they use the conference time for such tasks.
September: Temperatures drop and I want to move to California.
October: I have my spring cleaning to prepare for a Halloween party. World Series!
November: Big utilities bill. My divorced parents start nagging me about visiting for Christmas and the one who doesn't win assumes that means they get me for New Year's Eve. I disown them for that just in case I go first.
December: Girls I like get boyfriends or in case I am theirs, they dump me.

Halloween Summary

Gigs

I'll keep this short and void of too much details: I met Rachel's vampire side during the wicked HiM gig on Sunday. Ask if you care to learn about fetishes and stuff.

Had a great weekend in London, of course I also saw HiM on Saturday with Kaja, and we did some shopping and went to the airport together as our flights left at nearly the same time.
