Ik heb al een poosje zo’n mooie ov-chipkaart op naam omdat ik een voordeelurenkaart van de NS heb, so far so good, ik kan em opladen bij een automaat en in de bus en metro doet ie het prima, ik ben inmiddels verhuisd en binnenkort kan ik op mijn traject ook daadwerkelijk gaan treinen met het ding, gezien mijn reisafstand probeer ik een ov-chipkaart.nl account aan te maken zodat ie automatisch oplaad en ik een overzicht aan m’n baas kan geven ter declaratie.

Dit blijkt een regelrechte hell, allereerst krijg ik na de eerste 3 pogingen tot registreren geen activatie e-mail, … Continue Reading

So I recently received a new laptop and with that migrated from mac os Tiger to Leopard, everything went extremely well and fast but then someone pointed out that even though the time in my menu was correct, the timestamp for my mails and files was not.

A while ago I ordered a do it yourself kit for what I believed was a stuffed animal in the form of a dog. However when the package arrived I noticed it was a japanese design and had a function: a pot holder..

Anyhow some pics of my (completely guided) creativity:

btw: did I say it’s completely hand made, no machine sewing at all? :)

My parents and brother got me this Bredemeijer tea set for my birthday:

It contains a teapot and a “tealight” as shown, and 2 cups. Since I didn’t have anything in this style, anything with a “tealight” and I’ve always wanted a Bredemeijer to add to my collection I was really happy with it to start with. (even if I would have only put it in a glass cabinet and never used it)

However today I decided to give it a try and my god do I … Continue Reading
