Sad

Thu, 03/20/2003 - 2:01am

Although I believe that a war to remove Saddam Hussein is justified and necessary, it is a day of sadness today.


Let's hope that the war will be as short as possible.


When I woke up many TV channels had special editions about the war. Even the Economist.com website, which usually only gets updated around 15:00 o'clock seems to have been updated during the night. They have a picture gallery.


Started ridiciously early today... it's 8.00 o'clock!

Dinner with Oma Bosman

We just came back from Oma Bosman. We had a (very delicious) dinner with her. A relaxing evening.


When we came home we saw that the cactus is blooming again!

My endless love

Tue, 03/18/2003 - 2:05am

In the last weeks I saw many jokes, movies and cartoons about the coming war in Iraq.

Not all of them are very tasteful, but this particular one I found quite amusing. Have your sound on (Quicktime).

Balkenende does it again!



See this nice parody at Baatsen.com:

"Het moest maar eens afgelopen zijn met dat gekibbel."

Chicago

Sun, 03/16/2003 - 8:08am

Chicago.We went to see Chicago yesterday. The movie was very nice, enjoyed it a lot (see this trailer).



It had been a long time since we went for a movie in Amsterdam on a Saturday night, and we quite underestimated how busy it was! First to Pathé de Munt, where there was a huge line. They have this nice system that shows how many tickets left for each movie. When we entered the line there were 37 available places, but every minute there were less and less. In the end we decided to go to another theather when we realized the tickets would be over before we'd arrive at the ticket-booth.

At Juma

Sat, 03/15/2003 - 6:21am

Juma logo.I'm at JUMA now, working on the reports on 2002.


Five years ago I wrote the payment and inventory software for this shop, and they are still using it every day. It's nice to see how this small project worked out.

Most of the reports are generated automatically each month. The official yearly financial and inventory information need some extra attention, so every year in February or March I'll go there. It's very nice to do, the atmosphere is very friendly and relaxed.

Bugs...

Wed, 03/12/2003 - 3:21am

Bugs at Gamma.It's very difficult to estimate the truth of the allegations Princess Margarita and her husband made.

The so-called proof that the alledged probe was a "screw" is of course simply a publicity stunt (and a smart one I think).

All this family-squabbling looks pretty horrible to me... People are people, no matter how rich they are.

Voting

Tue, 03/11/2003 - 3:44am

It felt a bit weird to go and vote this morning. I was quite sleepy as I've worked till past midnight on my homework assignment... I almost forgot that there were elections today and only when I read "Tuesday March 11" on the voting card I assumed I could go and vote.

What made it made even more strange was that I know only one of the candidates of my party, so there wasn't exactly a lot of choice ;) It's just that these elections have been so little on TV and everything, unlike the previous time.
