And another night of work. This time, the plan was to clean up one of the wiring cabinets. It really was a big mess, though no where near as bad as this (The picture is real, made a while back at our NL office). We got a fair bit cleaned up, and might only need [...]

Either the world is coming to an end, or people are actually waking up.
Today, we have enabled our (the) first peering session on the island, which should improve traffic a lot. No more packets going back and forth to the US :) At least, for that one ISP. Hopefully the others will follow soon :)

I’ve had a little weather-show-plugin enabled since forever almost. Recently, though, I noticed my blog wasn’t loading as quick as I’d expect.

<input class=”inputw” name=”25859″ size=6 value=”0″ maxlength=5/>

Finally a weekend together with Soosh again.. Since she works in shifts, we regularly don’t have a full weekend together. But now, we did, and it was fun ;)
In other news, I’ve made up my mind (see previous post), let’s see where it goes from there.
