As of today, I am no longer working for Avanade. I had a good time over there, but my personal goals changed. I found a new challenge: I started a company with a good friend of mine. We’re still building the website, so the information is not there yet. But it will be soon. So check the website...

It depends on the situation if I self-identify as a geek or not. Today, I thought it would be fine, so I signed up for the Geek Dinner organized by Scott Hanselman in Bellevue, WA . Quite a lot of people showed up. I went there with my colleague Erwin van der Valk . He was a Development Consultant, like...

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...

As of 01-01-2008, I'm joining Avanade . You might have heard Avanade opened an office in the south of The Netherlands the first of November. I'll be joining the ranks over there (Eindhoven!) and I am exited to get started. I spent the past years at LogicaCMG . I had a lot of fun and, even more...

Yesterday was a great day at LEAP. Overall, today was less interesting than yesterday in my opinion. RJ also blogged about today (in Dutch). He presents the facts, I will add my opinion ;) Virtualization The session on Virtualization was split in two parts. The program manager gave a very lively presentation...

Earlier on Friday I played around with January 2007 CTP of Visual Studio "Orcas" . Lots of things are still missing from this CTP. But more is coming soon. Scott Guthrie reveals that lots of new web development stuff will be included in the next CTP which is scheduled for February 2007. He tells us that...

Linking to pictures on Flickr Now that I got some pictures up on Flickr , it is time to try out the Flickr4Writer that RJ blogged about . This morning I delayed going to work because I witnessed one of the most beautiful sunrises I ever saw from my old apartment in Zeist. I had to take some pictures...

Today I am experiencing some very annoying problems with Community Server (CS) as currently configured on BloggingAbout.NET. For as of yet unknown reasons the BA.NET engine has started to randomly remove src attributes of img tags when rendering my last blog post . In edit mode and preview mode my last...

Like Rene and Rob I have also made it safely to Los Angeles. A day later, because I am not going to a precon. I am traveling on a slightly smaller budget than my colleagues (I guess because I am from a poorer part of the company). Hey Rene, a shuttlebus from LAX costs only 15$! Fortunately my 60$ a night...

My manager just told me the good news. My proposal to go to PDC 2005 in Los Angeles has been approved. I am really excited to be able to hear the hot new stuff about Longhorn, IIS 7.0, ASP.NET 3.0 and C# 3.0 at that conference. It'll be strange to hear Microsoft talk in September about the vNext-Next...
