My most bulky gadget needed an upgrade. I’ve been a devoted Toyota Prius fan ever since my first leased car. Later I’ve owned another one, which almost lost a wheel once. The latter turned eight years old last March so I’ve decided to trade it for something more modern.
Yet another medal in your newsfeed!
It’s high time for running, so it seems: I’ve recently completed the Ijsselsteinloop and now, two weeks later, a half marathon in Amersfoort. It’s been my second time on this event.
Today I’ve run yet another half marathon (21.1 km), in the small town of Ijsselstein, which is near to Houten we live in.
I’m not really into reviewing gadgets, but in this case it’s worth doing it. Today I’d like to review Mi In-Ear Headphones Pro HD by the well-known Chinese make Xiaomi.
What I like about the Dutch is how they manage to combine classic with contemporary, conservative with conspicuous. For instance, the modern Dutch architecture is usually quite geometrical and sober, with no gaudy elements. As you have a closer look, you suddenly spot emojis on the façade!
Vathorst, a young district in Amersfoort (where we once held our aikido demo), has recently got an apartment building with twenty-two emoticons picked from the popular messenger WhatsApp. I decided to take a look at this new attraction after I’ve read about it in the local news.
My latest Dutch language course has come to an end. It took almost a year to get through, partly due to my entrepreneurial adventures. I’ve started the course, at the time paid by my employer ING, in July last year, and kept getting lessons long after leaving ING.
We decided to dedicate the last day of our Sophian journey to Plovdiv, going there in the morning and returning in the afternoon.
This idea was suggested by Slavyan during the Free Sofia Tour. Plovdiv is easily reachable by bus departing from the Sofia Bus Station. The direct trip takes two hours and costs 14 leva (€7).
There’s this country on our globe that is kind of special for Russian-speaking people, because they use the same alphabet but pretty different words. Which usually results in something either incomprehensible or hilarious.
That country is called Bulgaria, and I recently happened to visit its capital Sofia, and also to spend a day in the nearby Plovdiv.
It’s been for the first time that a support act was as interesting for me as the headliners. At the end of the day, all three participants of The Progressive Aspects Tour proved to be up to par!
Last Easter Monday I’ve completed my third castlerun De Halve van De Haar, a half marathon (21.1 km) held in the park of the De Haar castle.
If you work with Docker a lot, you might have noticed that the list of containers tends to grow out of control over time. Now and then you bump into an abandoned dusty container somewhere in the dark corner of your /var/lib.
So I’ve created a tiny application indicator for Ubuntu/Unity to simplify managing my container collection. Please welcome the Docker Indicator!
