13 steps

Rottenkid, me, Zandweter & Captain Headset. Or in other words my current intern, me, my colleague and my first intern a few years ago. They have a habit of coming back every now and again.

following a good week. Among other things I’m getting my contract, and my boss is supportive of some of my actions that are on the agenda for the next months.
We also received some other good news, but I’ll get back on that later.
For now, enjoy the weekend everyone. We are.

The fund raiser started July 11 ends in about an hour, so a big thank you to Croga, Raven & Ooky for their donations through ChipIn, and CommSie for his contribution.

See you all when I get back.

This is my 250th blog entry.
This website has now been online for 6 years.
0 is the amount of cigarettes I’ve smoked today.

This ’should’ have been a huge entry but I think I’ll keep it zen.

Thanks in advance, I’ll throw up a thank you post later, so here’s your chance to get your name (and a link to your site if you like) on the front page. Or leave a comment with the paypal payment if you don’t want your name mentioned. The $5000 is of course a totally random number, but I had to fill in something or it would say $9999.
