Self employed

At PearlDoc I was a staff member that co-owned 1/3rd of the company. Last week I closed this chapter of my life by selling my last shares. This year I started a new venture in consulting Altage – Consult. But my passion for creating software solutions keeps me looking for new opportunities.

Sweetcron (lifestreaming)

I installed Sweetcron and started lifestreaming. It won’t be my default start page until I re-branded the theme. See it in action!!!

Getronics

It was a hard decision to leave PearlDoc. I worked hard on QuickFile 4.0. It was a complete overhaul of the architecture and it felt like my baby. But after Wim Lagrou’s dead I needed to work with new people and it was not a very pleasant experience. Anyway I still own 30% of the [...]

Brittish Airways – London Heathrow

Last week we used British Airways to travel to Dubai. I was very happy with the service. But returning from Dubai we needed to transfer in London Heathrow. In Dubai British airways allowed 2 pieces of hand luggage. We bought some things in the tax free shop and we where on our way. In transit [...]

My wife knows I like Mont Blanc products (see Mont Blanc post). She bought me a new Mont Blanc present: a pen. Normally I like to write with a fountain pen. But I don’t write that much anymore so I choose a fineliner. Actually I can refill it with a rollerbal too. I am very [...]

Bedankt Wim Lagrou!

Vandaag was de begrafenis van Wim Lagrou. Wim Lagrou was de zaakvoerder van PearlDoc. Ik heb met hem altijd prettig samengewerkt. Hij was een avonturier die regelmatig de Mont Blanc beklom. Ook was hij een levensgenieter. Maar vooral mag hij trots zijn op zijn 2 dochters die hij achterlaat. Ik heb tijdens de begrafenis van [...]

Mont blanc

I like mont blanc very much. I’m crazy about old school pens. My wife got me a nice present when she came back from her business trip to Russia: a wallet. Hopefully my next present will be a mont blanc pen. Now I’m pondering what present I would buy for her when I return from [...]

Dubai Pictures: Day 6, 7 & 8

Day 6: Done absolutely nothing on this day. Hey it is a holiday and we need some rest. Day 7: Not much happened on this day. We went to a local Aqua park Splash World. Nothing fancy, just some pools and some slides. I have a nice tan and I have only been two days [...]

Dubai Holiday: Day 5

Today we just wanted to take some snapshots of the Dubai skyline. Best way to do this is to get a boat and go down the Dubai Kreek. Afterwards we ate some indian food for 5 euro total. Very cheap if you ask me. In the evening we went to Kamara where all the Indian [...]
