Last week I was in Helsinki for a Core Spring course. The course was fun and so were the evenings. Normally I plan to have one relaxed evening in the hotel, but that didn’t happen this time.
On Thursday we went to Tavastia. A greek guy I met a few weeks ago (in Amsterdam) suggested I […]

I just got back from my parents’ place and saw the pictures from the bathroom. My parents (and uncle and aunt) were so nice as to drop by in Italy last week to fix the tiling in the bathroom in the house.
The bathroom is pretty much *not* like your ordinary bathroom in the sense […]

I was having a drink with Arjen and Costin, both colleagues of mine at SpringSource tonight at the 21st floor of the Radisson SAS hotel in Oslo. The bar there is quite nice, not just for the cocktails they serve, but mostly for the view. You can look over entire Oslo and although the skyline […]

I’m in Norway at the moment, certifying ProgramUtvikling as a SpringSource training partner. Kaare and Kristoffer (the two trainers) are excellent trainers and as we speak, Kristoffer is explaining the group of attendees how Spring MVC works.
The training center and my hotel are located in a pretty nice neighborhood (at least, nature-wise). A little South-West […]

Deze website verdient een blog post. In het Nederlands nog wel. Op www.stopdetelefoongids.nl kun je een petitie tekenen waarmee je aangeeft geen Telefoon Gids meer te willen ontvangen (en ook geen Gouden Gids). Nou dat ding gaat bij mij al jaren meteen de prullenbak in, dus ik vind dit een super initiatief. Nu nog genoeg […]

I just had a great week this week. Last Monday I travelled to London. I had to be there for a training session with SkillsMatter, our partner in the UK. SkillsMatter’s office is in the Islington area (I think that’s what you call it), right in between Exmouth Market and Farringdon tube station.
I did the […]

It’s been a little while since I posted an update on Casa Pura, our humble house in the North of Italy. I just returned from a very short trip last weekend and the renovation is going quite well I can say.
Let me start where I left you: beginning of March. As I said back then, […]

I just came back from SpringOne. We had a great show again this year in Antwerp. We had about 400 attendees and about 30 highly technical session, from about just about the same number of people from SpringSource.
The second day (today) had a bit of a SpringSource Application Platform focus. So far the introduction of […]

I’m subscribed to this service called Dopplr. The idea is that you keep an online record of your trips that you share with friends and others. Since I travel quite a bit it’s nice that through this service I can keep a record of my travels myself and that others will be able to see […]
