Thursday may 6th, I had been alone at home with the cat for nearly a week, programming on a website without a clear deadline...

within 26 hours from first phonecall to 'you're hired'

Dear diary,

Wellwellwell... the consistent updating of my blog isn't working. I guess I'll always keep the habit of "first finishing a few things, and blogging afterwards", but things never really get finished

I did do more work done than before, from the end of january to the end of april. Or at least the first part of that period I've been constantly busy -- if you count 'compulsively reading newspapers and other internet sites' as 'being busy', that is

So...

In case anyone was wondering: yes, I'm still alive...

Last time I said (though it was in Dutch) that I had two and a half website assignment still lying around, and really had to get to work fast. Well: it took two months to get one and a half site finished.

Ofcourse, in this manner I will never make a full income for myself. It's my own fault; I'm just distracted too quickly when I'm contantly working alone at home.

Hi guys, over there on the West Coast,

I finally finished putting my 'diary/blog' posts on this website. But they're all in Dutch. To close it off, I thought I'd write a little summary in English - but instead of addressing "dear diary", I thought I'd address you guys.

I just wanted to say thanks again for letting me stay for an 'undetermined' amount of time. It was pretty good to have a place where I could just 'be' and relax... having no idea where my future would lie. You've been pretty relaxed housemates and made me feel comfortable staying there.

Hi all,

Happy 2009! May all plans that you take on, come true as you wish them.

I have been planning to write to some people about what has happened to me, for over a year. But my English-speaking friends always come last... and most of you I have already told parts of the story.

Since this covers over a year and is meant to update every English speaking acquaintance, it's long. Most of you can actually ignore part #1 unless you want to reread it...

part #1: unemployed until august
