(Re)surface

Rick van den Bosch — Wed, 28 Jan 2009 09:49:00 GMT

I know it has been a while since my last post, but I’m about to resurface! I’ve played in a musical the entire month of December and (because of that) we were busy getting our company up and running again in the new year. So now I’ll be developing more and I’ll probably have more things to blog about. So keep posted to see more stuff over here…

For now, here are some interesting articles about Microsoft’s Surface:

I will return...

I've been busy the last couple of weeks. Between (the announcements at) all the congresses to follow like PDC and Tech·Ed, all the projects to do, the rehearsal for the musical I'm in in December (Dutch) and the start of our new company (Dutch), I didn't have a lot of time to blog...

Since we expect things to settle down in the next couple of days, I'm expecting to pick up where I left in a week or so. Hang in there, and if you have any subjects you would like me to blog about or any questions you would like answered: let me know. Oh, and try to keep those subjects and/or questions development related. ;)

PS I'm guessing you know why I didn't title this post "I'll be back" :)

Online profiles - update

I only had time for a quickie:

The page containing all my online profiles has been updated...
When interested, have a look at them.

Rick van den Bosch .net - part II

Rick van den Bosch — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 21:26:00 GMT

It's been a while because I've been so busy lately, but the next (technical) step for my personal website is now online. When browsing to http://rickvandenbosch.net/blog/, the content of my blog here is displayed sort of mirrored over there. I used an OpenSource RSS component to read my private rss feed from blogging about, and display it from there.

There's still a lot of work to be done (like styling!), but I'll get there. Eventually.... ;)

If you're interested on the how and the what: I'll post the source code online as soon as the entire website is 'ready'. At this rate, it might take a while, so if you can't wait: contact me

Short personal update - March 2008

Rick van den Bosch — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 09:13:00 GMT

This weekend we got back from a skiing trip we went on with the school my girlfriend works at. We had a great time! The kids were great, and so were the teachers and the Huski people who were there to teach the kids how to ski and snowboard. If they need an extra pair of hands next year, I hope they'll consider me: I'd be happy to join them.

I ordered my new phone this weekend. I arrived home 10 minutes ago, and the postman had beaten me to it: there was a note saying they will try delivering my phone again tomorrow. I hope they'll come when I'm at home, so I can go ahead and play with it. Boys will be boys, right? And then there's the combination boys & toys.... ;)

My 'old' phone is going to my girlfriend, because some m***erf***ers broke in and stole lots of stuff, like our laptop and her PDA phone. I can't understand why people do such a thing, why they just take something of someone else. I guess some people don't have a bit of decency in them... ( </angry mode> )

We will be looking for a new laptop, any tips are welcome. And, of course, I'm open for buzzing / WOMM ;)

rick van den bosch .net - part 1

Rick van den Bosch — Thu, 24 Jan 2008 21:08:00 GMT

So that's part 1: www.rickvandenbosch.net is now online. There's nothing to be found over there yet, but the domain has been delivered. Oh, and there's an easy redirect to my blog, so that goes back here ;). From now on, you can also use rickvandenbosch.net/blog as the url to find my blog. I'm currently talking to the bloggingabout.net admin to mirror my content over there, for now it's just a redirect. Keep posted for more updates on the new domain.

BloggingAbout: we're back

Rick van den Bosch — Wed, 09 Jan 2008 17:57:12 GMT

Dennis already blogged about it: we had some problems with the availability of BloggingAbout since last night. The error was fixed this afternoon, so everything should be back to normal. If you're experiencing any difficulties, please let me know through the contact form, or mail me at rick.van.den.bosch[at]bloggingabout.net.

Blogging @ Almere

Rick van den Bosch — Wed, 02 Jan 2008 20:38:00 GMT

Today was the first of two introduction days at Avanade. Maybe you missed it, but I started there today. And that's why I'm writing this blogpost from a hotel in Almere, using my new Avanade laptop. ;)

I'm sure there will be lots of stuff to blog about, so stay tuned for more...

Which blog software to use ...

Rick van den Bosch — Wed, 19 Dec 2007 19:53:10 GMT

I'm thinking of hosting a blog myself. Most important reason would be that bloggingabout.net doesn't allow some stuff like scripts, embedding flash and links to things like the 'connect with me' button and so on. Which is completely understandable by the way. What I'm not sure about is which software to use. Do you guys have any tips on which blogging software to use? Or maybe even on if I should or shouldn't host it for myself? If you do, let me know.

I'm baaack ...

Rick van den Bosch — Sat, 18 Aug 2007 18:03:00 GMT

So, after some relaxing at home and a very cool holiday in Spain, I'm about to go to work again next monday. And with that, I'll be picking up all my 'normal day' hobbies and stuff. So, I'll try and pick up blogging (and taking pictures) again, just for you guys ;). Stay tuned ... !

Hey! Ho! Let's Go ..

Opened a photo blog

Rick van den Bosch — Mon, 23 Jul 2007 16:22:00 GMT

As you may know, I started out at blogger. I haven't used that blog over there for the last two years, but now it is up and running again! This time, I'm using it as my photo blog. I recently got my new camera, and I didn't want to mix picture-posts with my software development related posts over here. So if you're interested, go take a look over there. Next to the link earlier in this post, you can find a link @ the news section of this site, in the left sidebar.
