Hi there….<\/p>\n

It’s really late today, about 2200 hours local time here in copenagen. natalie cole is singing open-air in tivoli tonight, and i really wish i was going. but there’s noone to go with, and i’m really not in the mood for solo tonight. so instead i’m here at the office, making a backup of my personal files, and reading up on my Extreme Programming<\/a> skills. XP rocks, but i guess, any way you turn it, there is something geekish, and slightly scary about a kid in his mid-twenties sitting at the office at 2200 hours reading up on the latest in software methodology. whew! that brought the sweat of a mid-life geek-crisis to my forehead \ud83d\ude42
\nwhat the f… i have to admit it fascinates me, this xp stuff. countering some of the very fundamentals, that are the basis of most other software methodologies, it has a point. it’s very peter naur, if anybody knows what i’m refering to.<\/p>\n

i really hope i get the chance to work somewhere where xp is an experimental reality. somewhere, where i have the freedom to try it, and make people belive it. it’s simple, and bases itself on the premises that change in software specifications is not prohibitive. it seems like a fun methodology to work under, unlike most of those i’ve seen come and go again.<\/p>\n

am i geeking? yes i am!<\/p>\n

\n

well, apart from the fact that signes away for a week, and i miss her, and most of my friends are away on vacation, and i wasted the entire week-end doing zilch in front of the tv, i actually feel ok. i’m looking forward to 4 weeks in mexico, and maybe just before, or right after that, a big decision for my future…. shh! it’s a secret, but it has to do with work.
\nthe wireless manager for our international office, asked me wether i wanted to go to NY for a few months. and there are a number of other opportunities, that i can’t really talk about right now, but i assure you, you’ll be the first to know, as soon as a full public scream is in order. <\/p>\n

\n

Unfortunately my mailing list broke down, along with most of the other cgi on the site. I replaced the search function with a hosted service from atomz.com<\/a>, and that rocks, so i’m slowly out-sourcing ther functionality on the site. first blogger, then atomz, what will be next? maybe i’ll move the guestbook somewhere \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

apart from all this i’m really starving. about time i get dinner \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

also about time i get involved in something else than this stock-market driven reality of work. i miss the discussions on brainstorms, i used to have, and all the idealistic plans of saving the world. i guess sometimes, getting to know yourself better isn’t always 100% the way to go. i used to really belive in my ability and desire to make a change, but gradually i’ve come to realize, that i’m great at getting the ideas, getting all excited about them, talking and dreaming, but when it comes to making a project happen, that’s just not me!
\ni’d really like to volunteer for something like geek corps.<\/a> they arrange for geeks like me to spend some valuable time helping and training 3rd world technology companies to get on top, and have a shot in an increasingly divided technology world. that, i think is something i could really do. help someone using what i’m good at, is what i might like to do. and 3 months in africa, is something i think, even i could survive.<\/p>\n

remember: always remember who your real friends are \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
