Believe it or not, it is: today marks the (open air) concert of Creedence Clearwater Revisited. Radio mentioned more than 12,000 visitors to be expected, which is like, almost more people than live around this area. Yeah, I know, that’s … Continue reading →

Since my vacation is officially over, it’s time to return to the normal programming (and the job). On the personal plate are the following plans and corrections: Fandro: I noticed that the program refuses to go into ‘hidden’ directories: that … Continue reading →

Last night, when returning home both my wife and I thought it was awfully quiet at home. For (almost) three weeks, my dad stayed around the place enjoying a long break from busy life in The Netherlands. We all had … Continue reading →

We’re defying the Law of Coincidents once again: yesterday we dropped dad off at the airport. Waiting for my wife to return from her accompanying duties for my wheelchair-bound senior, I spotted the same woman once again. No really: Hey, … Continue reading →
