It is customary
To make allusions to Douglas Adams' work when leaving a company, so I won't. I'm just going to post a couple of pictures I made with my n900...
This is the river Amstel, for which Amsterdam is known. As you can see, it's frozen over...
And this the Hyves office building, seen through the snow.
And these are Tommy and Markus, who together with Tjerk took me out for dinner in a steakhouse. Good food, good company!
I've been working for KO for two days now, after having taken a really nice one-day vacation which ended up with a visit to Ma Brown's Restaurant. That restaurant tends to be closed when Irina and I want to go there, but last Wednesday it was open at last. A warm fire, excellent food, good service... Perfect closing to a day of gadding about both Hollands. (Note to self: Sing Kee in The Hague isn't nearly as good as it used to be, bij Tholen in Haarlem has the best coffee I've had for ages.)
So, the third day, which happened to be a Saturday, I finished my todo list and then went out to buy a proper office chair, the kitchen chair I had been using at my desk up til now being rather bad for my back:
Now I need to find a replacement for the nine hours a week on the train, minimum, that was my designated Krita hacking time. And let's see whether the sculpture classes I can finally get to in time will actually go through. It's been more than 25 years since I last did anything like that...
Oh, and Hyves is still looking for good developers!
