Here is a short text of Arnon Grunberg in the Volkskrant (The peoples paper, sounds quite commie doesn't ?)

"A friend in need is a friend too much"
I heard this (or my disformed memory thinks so) at English classes from Mr. Berndsen (google tells me that his first name is Niko, who would expect a name like that, wonderful !). We had a book called: "A friend in need", Mr. Berndsen told us the joke that Ernest Hemingway transformed this into the forementioned quote. Alas, google doesn't confirm this at all, but f**k it.

By the way: Happy New Year !
It comes with an extra day, enjoy !

My colleague Rob Jenneskens is going on a 11 month trip through Africa. Together with his girlfriend Esther in a Landcruiser.

Quite an adventure !

I adapted the Drupal theme made for MI-Partners to the wishes of Rob. He made the graphics himself and I pasted everything in a Drupal theme.

The result is to be admired here: http://www.goinglocal.nu

Happy birthday to our youngest member of the family. She doesn't realise it really yet, but that doesn't make it less special.

Last weekend I finally updated this site to the current (5.23) version of Drupal. The site is now ready for Drupal version 6.

The image module was running haywire ! I had 30k image files: the derative image sizes (800x800 etc) where regenerated all the time. So I had to delete all duplicates while keeping the originals. Thanks to a number of posts on the drupal.org website things went quite well.

Now I can make a local copy of the site on my laptop for easy theming / upgrading / debugging etc.

It maybe looks like this website is severely neglected, and that's true.

A lot of things happened though. Not recorded on this site but still.
Shannon was born on the 9th of November 2009. She is 9 months old already !

Together with Hannah we now have two wonderful daughters. Photo's etc will follow, are also to be found on Facebook.

Someday I'll update this site to the latest and greatest Drupal version ...

Shannon 10 months old

All the best for the new year !

We had a great time during the past holidays. Spent Xmas and New Year's at family and celibrated Hannah's 6th birthday !

Last weekend I bought a RC-50 Loopstation. Made by Boss, very impressive pedal. Three loops in stereo ! This means I don't loose a channel with my Line6 POD X3 Live. Cool.

More on this later. I've still have to study the manual more...

Update August 2010: I've sold the RC-50, in the end I was not using it as much as I hoped.
