Phones, birthday party and other assorted stuff
Welcome back !
Last month was a bit slow in the news department, but here we go 
I had to go to London a couple of times for work. Normally I leave in the morning and I’m back in the evening, but last time I stayed the night at a very fancy hotel so that was nice. On the way home we passed by the Apple Store and saw a lot of people in line to get the iPhone 4S the next morning, crazy. Last trip was also very productive, the project is finally taking shape so that’s good. Will probably have to go over there every 2 weeks from now on though.
Talking about phones, I now have Mango on my Windows Phone 7. Great update, it runs even more fluently now. The voice integration is also pretty neat, although since most people text me in Dutch it’s not all the useful at the moment. I hope they bring different languages to the system soon. In any case at this point I would recommend a Windows Phone 7 to everyone.
Last weekend was Jan’s 30th birthday party. I finally got to see the Oemta (some pub in Ertvelde) up close. I’ve been hearing about it for years but had never set foot in it, so it was good to put an image to all the talk. The party was great fun, a shame I had to drive home else I could have stayed a lot longer. Some people went dressed up (theme Quentin Tarantino) so that was pretty funny to see. I’d show pics but some people asked me to censor them 
Latest USA trip update: internet for the RV is coming along nicely. We have a 3G stick, I ordered a router that supports it and I called T-Mobile USA for an unlimited internet plan. I love it when a plan comes together
Next week it’s time for the annual get together for Blizzcon. I hope they have a big announcement to make but I’m a bit afraid it’ll be a let down again this year. But time will tell !
