Thanks to TB, my new server is now installed in the rack in Amsterdam!
Guess we’ll have to plan some migrations soon.. :)

Lazy weekend

15 July, 2007 (22:22) | Tortola | 1 comment

Pretty uneventful weekend. Which is a good thing I guess, given that I’ve been travelling / on the road since I started the new job.. So, only fun stuff! Together with Soosh, I watched Spiderman 3, some series, went out for dinner, and so on ;)
Oh, and I also upgraded Wordpress! Looks like nothing [...]

Miami, argh.

13 July, 2007 (16:22) | Tortola | No comments

Like I said some posts ago, my flight back to Curacao is from Miami, not Fort Lauderdale. One thing I keep “forgetting” is how bad Miami International Airport sucks. I really can’t help but hate that place. It’s too busy, too crowded, and basically a complete chaos.
And not different today, ofcourse. After Rob dropped me [...]

Arrived

12 July, 2007 (15:39) | Tortola | No comments

So, I’ve arrived! Yesterday actually. Everything went pretty smooth, no real issues. Even the Security in Puerto Rico wasn’t bad (with the broken passport and all). Some checking and questioning later, they taped up the thing, and I was off to go ;)
Since we (my colleague and I) had about a 2.5h layover, we didn’t [...]

Passport

10 July, 2007 (18:33) | Tortola | No comments

For a while now, my passport had a very small crack in it. Nothing too bad, and I was about to get it fixed (honest!). But, today I got a check to pay for the travel expenses is the US.. We went through the drive-in bank (nice concept by the way). The lady told us [...]

Travelling

10 July, 2007 (18:25) | Tortola | No comments

After just a few days here, I have to go to Ft. Lauderdale to have a meeting with $vendor. We’re about to make big changes to the IP network, and we basically need their help in actually doing that. Sounds fun and all, so we booked tickets today.
The fun started at the travel agency. I [...]

Hotel

7 July, 2007 (17:57) | Tortola | No comments

After a few days, we swapped hotels. Since they keep changing our flight dates, the hotel was booked at some point already. So, now we’re at Maria’s by the Sea, a very nice hotel directly at the ocean.
Check here for the View from the Balcony. Picture made with the new phone, by the way [...]

Colo

6 July, 2007 (15:23) | Tortola | No comments

A while back, I ordered a new Colo toy box, to play with. At the moment, it has seen a fair bit of the world. It started in Seattle, travelling (UPS ground..) to Miami, Florida. From there, on the boat to Curacao. And now I just received the confirmation that it has been sent to [...]

Phone!

4 July, 2007 (17:37) | Tortola | No comments

So, I’m hooked up with a new phone. It’s a very nice toy, too bad it’s running Windows tho. At least it has working GPRS/Edge, and a very nice camera.. I’ll put the number online somewhere, those who need it will know where to find it, I guess. If not, just ask :)

New job

1 July, 2007 (06:27) | Tortola | No comments

Some already know, some don’t. I decided to quit my job, and took an offer for a job in Tortola, BVI. Tasks will be similar to what I’m doing now, but on a broader scale, hopefully :) I really looked forward to this, and I’m happy to be flying over there today. Too bad there’s [...]
