Noo.. I dont mean the website… I mean my flat!

This weekend, we succesfully moved the content of the flat to belgium, to my dads place.
It was a lot of hard work, many thanx to Dirk and Greftek for helping out! |
It was quite late when we arrived in Brugge to unload, luckily all the kids helped out so it didn’t take long.

Here are teh pictures:

Today I spent all day clearing out the large stuff, unscrewing shades, taking up the carpet. Check out this idiocy! When the builders put down the new radiators last year, looks like they screwed im into the concrete ON TOP OF the carpet!! I couldnt shift em, I had to cut away all the carpet around the feet. So dumb.

Here is the stuff I threw out today:

I will go back tomorrow for some last cleaning, and then on thursday I hand over the keys

So I have moved out of the flat now, motived mostly due to my internet being cut off.

While I search for work in the UK, I am staying at moms. This is good, though I cant claim I have improved on the amount of space I have at my disposal 😉

Here is a photosynth of the room:

Oh, and check out to what good use I have put moms monitor; its my new social media portal!

IT Books, Cooking Books, Books on Guns

I am no longer in need of the following books. I intend to throw them away if no one else wants them:

Yesterday I completed my English-language CV, you can download it here, and I will print it below for good measure.
I published the CV at Monsterboard UK yesterday, aswell as reed.co.uk and jobserve.co.uk

*waves at potential employers*

Now I had already been looking through jobs on all those sit,in fact I have an RSS feed coming in that combined search results for all those sites, based on the keyboards I am looking for (systems administration, datacenter, engineer). I have republished those feeds here (via Google reader), if you are interested.

Now this morning my Friendfeed directed me to Flickr as someone I know had posted a pic there I wanted to see. Then I noticed the view graph.  

What is interesting it also the specific pictures that seem to be top viewed in the last 24 hours:

Almost no external referals too. This means these are people browsing my work photo set on Flickr itself. They must have gotten there somehow though, and I dont publish that particular set on the front page of my Flickr page.

I should have installed a plugin to track hits on WordPress, cause I am sure they are up to. Someone has been Googling me, this much is certain. What I am wondering is what they are hitting first. The first result on google is my Sysadmin blog, it seems. I guess this must be the entrance to the set itsef on Flickr. Though Geekswithblogs is not showing up as a high referrer for the last day. its a mystery.

Anyway.. next blog post will be my CV

Spent this afternoon going through draws and throwing out loads of junk. Mostly cables and computer components of which I had way, way to many.

Some items of interest turned up though, and even though I am throwing them out, I wanted to record them for posterity 😉

omg.. my old analogue camera. There is still film in it! I should get it developed!

The booklett people could get for free as an introduction to the Euro coin, when it was introduced in 2001. I never finished the collection 😉

Some nice stuff. The wach is acutlaly rather cheap, I threw it out.

Brave Laptop. You served me well. A shame we could never fix your power supply problem.

A 3DFX Voodoo II card, gosh that brings back memories

Books, lots of books. Who wants to come rummage through this box? Mostly older IT books, Windows 2000/2003 and some cook books.

Not sure what to do with this guitar. Its kinda broke, but its so old as to possibly be an antique.

Time to finnaly throw all these old game manuals out. I kept the blizzard ones and the Privateer II ones. Also the Battletech stuff I am holding on to, together with the rest of my collection. Lots of nostalgic stuff here, but the olders bit was the plastic case they whree kept in, at the top.  That was the original manaul box for my dads 8088 Olivetti PC, bough back in the late 80’s. (zoom in).
Give you a good idea what my gaming preferences are. Lots of combat flight sim stuff, shame that genre has more or less died out these days.

I have decided to move to the England.
This has been on the cards for a while now, and the last week I finally set things into motion.

The plan is that I strip the house by December, and I move early January.
Dont have a job yet, or a new apartment for that matter. All this will come.
I will soon be sending my CV around the place, and I am already on various mailing lists for jobs and apartments.

I will be moving to London, one of the suburbs, hopefully quite close to a certain other person in London that I happen to know 😉  Regarding that person, I won’t need to explain my reasons for moving to the UK, me and Lia have been together 18 months now, and I am ready for the next step.

The first step of the move is taken: I have demolished my bed 😀
Frankly, it was faling apart and I needed the space 😉

Here are some pics of that, and there will be many more pics here, as I chronicle this big event in my life.

Also, keep an eye on this space for my furnature. I am giving most of it away. My dad has already shown an interest in stuff like the TV, but most of the other stuff is basicly up for grabs, so if you are interested in a small desk or draw.. keep an eye on my Flickr groups: The Big Move and more specifically: Furniture

Partial Bed

No Bed!

Bits of Bed!

Piece of wood from bed with a nail in it, landed right ON my ethernet cable, of all places. still seems to work.
