My second day working from home this week. Work went as usual, not much to write home about here. The need for talking to people is getting more pronounced. Really missing the daily sparring and how we bounce ideas of each other. Totally missing due to us all being online. Having a video-meeting with +5 people just doesn’t cut it. …
Corona Virus Day 5: A new week begins
Today marks the beginning of a new week. Going to be interesting how that turns out. We’re only 12 weeks in and already 2020 is crazy. Going to work from home the entire week. Already started on it last week, but that didn’t really count as we had to get in the groove and figure out how to make it …
Corona Virus Day 4: More of the same
Day 4 after the shutdown. There have been a couple of press meetings today. Mostly stuff about how the government will help private companies and SAS sending home 90% of their workforce. Italy seems to be spiralling more and more out of control, followed closely by Spain and France. Iran is a total shitshow, which doesn’t really surprise anyone. Those …
Corona Virus Day 3: Access denied
Today the sun shined down from blue skies all day long. After a couple of months with record breaking amounts of rain and dreary weather, today signaled spring was coming. Went for a walk today with my girlfriend to enjoy the nice weather. Though there was people out and about, it wasn’t the amount I had expected, especially with the …
Corona Virus Day 2: Turn it to 11
Second day of the lockdown. First day working from home. Also my first trip to the supermarket since the news broke. Talk about an empty store. Milk, yest, bread, onions, potatoes, carrots. All gone. They were even out of avocados (damn millennials and their toasts). There was lots of toilet paper though. I don’t get why people are so crazy …
Corona Virus day 1: Lockdown
I was visiting one of my friends, when the news first broke. We had just finished watching a movie, when I decided to check the news on my phone. Breaking articles all over the place. The front page being plastered in yellow and lots of exclamation marks. Something was going on. At the same time I received a text from …
Welcome to Las Vegas
Exactly two years ago, I visited the United States of America for the first time. More specifically, I went to Las Vegas. Yeah boy. Go big or go home as they say. And you can’t really go bigger than the quintessential American city of them all. The entertainment capital of the world. The city of lost wages. Sin City. The …
The best books I read in 2019
I’ve always been an avid reader for as long as I can remember. My tastes usually revolve around fantasy and sci-fi, with divergences to horror and true-crime. Comics is also something I have always read, though it wasn’t until my twenties I started getting into the more “serious” comics instead of Donald Duck, Asterix and Beetle Bailey that I grew …
2019 – a review of a year where I went full adventure mode
For me, 2019 was a year of adventure. I visited the USA. Twice. That is by far the number one thing that stands out when I look back on the year. First time I went to Las Vegas for 2 weeks. And yes, staying in Vegas for 2 weeks is crazy – I know. It’s just such an extreme city …
The issue with Magento 2
Magento got a problem that nobody sees to be talking about. The so-called elephant in the room. Mainly how you migrate from Magento 1 to Magento 2 and how much it costs. First some background Magento 1 was released in 2008. 7 years later, Magento 2 was released in 2015. Magento 1 grew to be one of the most popular …
