I only got back home at about 8PM, but that was because I had a car on my way back and was somehow able to avoid all traffic jams. I must’ve had some kind of lucky trip today. Let’s hope this continues for the coming two weeks or so that I will actually be working…
Ivo Jansch from Ibuildings and I have had contact over the years, and I think he mentioned a few times over those years already that he was interested in getting me aboard at Ibuildings. Every time I said no, mainly because the travel time to Vlissingen or Sittard is way too long. My response to…
Well, well, it looks like Tomas will be getting a little baby brother or sister in January. We had an ultrasound made on tuesday, and it seems everything is just fine in Marjolein’s belly.

One of the owners of Dutch Open Projects is taking the most successful project into a new company. As I’ve…
