moving

Last week I realized that I couldn’t remember when exactly I had not been going out at night. Amsterdam is great. So many people to meet and spend time with. Last Thursday I met up with Niels Fermont, whom I hadn’t really seen the last 12 years or so and whom I found on Hyves a while back. It was great to bring back memories from primary school. We had a very tasty dinner. Unfortunately I suspect the forest mushroom pie to have ruined my digestive system up until today. So I wasn’t able to head down to FOSDEM in Brussels. The up side was that I finally had some time to go through my drafts folder, where emails end up that I still have to write.

Besides all that I am feeling mostly happy with  my MacBook Pro. There are some issues, such as the lack of decent shortcuts but it’s a relief to not be forced to keep on tweaking and twiddling settings. I hope some company will be able to create a similar experience based on Ubuntu.

This week I’ll be moving to an awesome apartment and tomorrow I’m expecting a friend I haven’t seen for 1,5 years. And Hyves is moving to a new office.

Ok, even though I’ve been working on Mac OS X

I’m going to FOSDEM, the Free and Open Source Software Developers’ European Meeting in Brussels, the 23rd and 24th of February.

For the rest, Amsterdam is treating me well.  Hyves is exciting and offering many challenges. Living with Robin is great. Unfortunately it will be over soon. He found a place through social housing (after 9 years of waiting) and I will be moving to another place myself the 1st of March. Fortunately that place is really really sweet.
