How am I supposed to feel like I'm not in Holland ...

... if the guy right next to me in the supermarket is trying to use his [http://www.postbank.nl/ Postbank] (Dutch bank which used to have a bad interoperability record) card? ;-) And in other news, I got myself a year supply of flour because [http://www.tesco.ie/ Tesco] never heard of small quantities... ;-)

Anyway, I finally managed to connect to a nearby WLAN network in my own apartment. No need to sit in the hall anymore. :-D Went to the pub with some colleagues yesterday (including two people who interviewed me back in September), got to know my mentor (that's how they call the person who helps new employees with settling in the company) already. Great!

That's all for now. Let's see if there'll be Futurama or Simpsons on TV again tonight.

so you're living in some apartment right now but you still have to go house hunting? are you going to buy or rent?

@floris: and a simpsons movie in the cinemas apparently

P.S. is it safe to add my email address? probably not huh? or are there some built-in safety features? ^_~

So that's my job title, being mentor of Niels. Sounds like a demetor from HP.

BTW I think you can simply use the "xrandr" cmdline utility to change this now, no need to use my xtvmargin anymore.
