Nicked from Diana’s blog, here’s my list of 27 things that you couldn’t care less about. Oh, and about xmess too. Or christmas. Whatever you want to call it.
Since last weekend I’ve been stuck with a nasty cold, reaching climax on wednesday when I bailed work at noon and went to the doctor. Sickleave until friday, and some painkiller (perdolan) and a coughsirup (mjummm.. not!)
Friday I was finally rid of it, and today (being sunday) I woke up with a totally inflamated throat making anything related to the throat nearly impossible due to the high level of pain… damnit!
Another doctor’s visit later I’m on Cataflam and Neogolaspetine spray, and two more days sickleave… meh.
Well, new year 2008 all!
May your wishes (if they’re benign, that is) come true and all that cheesy stuff!
Depending on what you (don’t) believe, today is Xmas, Christmas or newtonmas. Or even something completely different, if you want it to be!
Whatever is your fancy, happy day to you and a good newyear!
Let’s all be (fake) happy and cheery! :p
We got our xmas tree! (and the obligatory decorations, and lamps, ofcourse!)
:P
Too true too often…
Feliz Cumpleaños Cariño Diana!
May your dreams be reality for you today and that you have tons more birthdays to come! (with me around, preferably?)
Easter was to be spent together in Belgium, resting and having fun together and so on. Full recollection ahead!

A while back (basically, in december) I decided to sell my Cisco Catalyst C2924-XL switch on eBay. Since I’ve done plenty of auctions before there, no problem! So, the item got sold to someone from the EasyHost company. Fine by me, I don’t really care who buys my stuff, as long as they follow up ;)
Sofar so good. Payment got in swiftly, I shipped out the switch the same week. I didn’t hear anything, so I thought everything was okay.
Wrong.
A week after, I got an email stating the switch was defective. Since I do pride myself on testing everything prior to sending it out, I found it odd. Still, shipping can (unfortunately) damage stuff. I first asked him what he got when he connected to the serial console, if he had set everything correctly (I put the serial console at 57600 baud instead of the regular slowass 9600), and so on.. Answer I got back: “Yes, everything is set correctly, it doesn’t work, please give me another item or refund”.
So, I told him to ship the stuff back, I’d refund.
Today, the item arrived. The package was incomplete (missing cables), and when testing the switch, everything worked perfectly.
And he won’t be getting his money back until he ships me the cables.
– EDIT –
Finally, after about 3 more weeks without answer I finally got answer after I threatened to just ‘close the deal as is’. Shows how much he really cares about doing decent business with people.
Is it a plane? A bird! No! It’s a spinningwheel!
Under the motto “do something else for a change”, my girl and I bought a Spinning wheel on eBay.
I assembled this ‘eve to check if everything was in and everything works :) It’s a weird contraption, but it’s fun :) And Diana wants to learn how to spin, and who knows, maybe I’ll join ;)
