Wow, things can move fast!
</p>
<p>
I was contacted this morning by someone interested in buying our <a href="http://raymondpoort.com/2008/05/24/car-for-sale/">good'old Honda</a>...it
was around the 20th guy calling me since I put it on the internet so I
wasn't too sure, but, as everyone knows; it just takes one buyer to
make a sale happen and...this was THE one!!<br />
He just stopped by to have a look, apparently liked what he saw and we directly closed the deal...this car is gone for good!
</p>
<p>
Heyhey, perfect timing with our vacation coming up the next two weeks. ;)</p> ]]></description>

Hehe, I normally use FADATTF...Fuck A Duck And Try To Fly! ;) (unknown in the Urban Dictionary btw.)<br />

We've got a lot to celebrate; both my Birthday in April and Kristels
Birthday in October, we're (almost) one year in Norway and haven't had
a proper housewarming...nuff said, this means Party time!!
</p>
<p>
Around
30-40 people will come for our norwegian 'grillfest' (aka bbq), with a
slight dutch touch to it though; drinks and food are included!
</p>
<p>
Party starts at 17:00, I just created a cool iTunes playlist for the night, so, we're ready...let's ROCK!

My <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Dashboard_SubPanel">WordPress</a> <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/images/9/9e/dashboard_2.5.jpg">Dashboard</a> shows me that THIS entry is my 1000th post on the weblog!! Wow, that's worth mentioning, eh? ;)
</p>
<p>
My <a href="http://raymondpoort.com/2005/02/10/pivot-10/">first post</a> was published on February 10 2005; it was a standard test-post coming from my blogging tool at the time, <a href="http://pivotlog.net">Pivot</a>.
I only started to blog more frequently from June 2005, not
coincidentally the period when my baby went to Canada for three months
(I guess that I got some time to spare).
</p>
<p>
By publishing on a <a href="http://raymondpoort.com/2008/06/12/366-days-355-posts/">daily basis in the last 366 days</a> the counter went up quite rapidly...I enjoy doing it, so expect another 1000!</p> ]]></description>

<a href="http://raymondpoort.com/2007/06/12/blogging-247/">June 12th last year I decided</a>
to create a blogpost on each day of the week, *including* the weekend
days. For some odd reason I skipped the weekend before?!? One year
later it's time to see if I lived up to my promise; well, I can
conclude that I do...I wrote 355 posts in the past 366 days! The
missing 11 days were due to lack of internet while I was on vacation. Or, uhhmm, did I mean lack of an iPhone in 2007 ;) and lack of a native WordPress application for the iPhone in 2008? I *did* <a href="http://twitter.com/raymondpoort">Twitter</a> on the missing days though...it seems I'm always connected, eh?</p> ]]></description>

For everyone who wants to see a master in presenting at work; check out Steve Jobs in his Keynote last Monday at the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference, now online via <a href="http://events.apple.com.edgesuite.net/0806wdt546x/event/index.html">apple.com</a>.
</p>
<p>
If you don't have the time (not an excuse really! ;)), then at least check out the 60 second version on <a href="http://www.mahalodaily.com/2008/06/10/md139-steve-jobs-wwdc-keynote-in-60-seconds/">Mahalo Daily</a>:

                        <description><![CDATA[ <p>
Normally I would say that no one could have missed Apple's iPhone 3G
announcement yesterday...the brilliant Euro2008 match between The Netherlands
and Italy might have caused some (dutch) people to miss it
though:
</p>
<p>
<a href="http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2008/06/09iphone.html">Apple.com</a>: 'Apple Introduces the New iPhone 3G - Twice as Fast at Half the Price'.
</p>
<p>
Finally, the highly anticipated and long time rumored new iPhone is
officially announced, *with* 3G networking speed, built-in GPS, longer
battery life, a slightly changed design *and* a cheaper price. It will
be available in 22 countries from July 11, and those countries include
The Netherlands and Norway!
</p>
<p>
Hmm, Apple did it again...despite the fact I have an iPhone, I want the new iPhone 3G!! (how do they do it? ;))</p> ]]></description>

Tonight the <a href="http://euro2008.com">Euro2008 soccer championships</a> starts for the dutch! Our first match is against the current worldchampions, Italy, so it should be an easy one! ;).
</p>
<p>
I decorated the office this morning (all orange)...just hope I don't have to take it down tomorrow...;)
</p>
<p>
We'll watch the game with fellow cheeseheads in Oslo, in
a restaurant owned by a dutch guy. He will have a big screen, dutch
food and drinks...and there'll obviously be shitloads of people dressed
up in orange!!</p> ]]></description>

                        <description><![CDATA[ <p>
I just watched <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formula_One">Formula One</a> history being created; Robert Kubica became a hero in his home country Poland by winning the Canadian Grand Prix!
</p>
<p>
It
was an absurd race, like so many this season...Hamilton ran into
Raikonen in the pitlane, the BMW team took the opportunity to win their
first Grand Prix. Even better; they did it with a 1-2 victory, Heidfeld
came in 2nd.
</p>
<p>
I have to say, this seasons Formula One is fun again, which has been some years ago (back in the days when <a href="http://verstappen.nl/news/">Jos Verstappen</a> was racing and made fans of true racing go crazy!).</p> ]]></description>

After working in NL for the week, I try use the Saturday to visit
some friends and take care of stuff...today is not any different;
so...I visited my mother in law, went shopping for some typical dutch
things (items not available in Norway and useful for the 'grillfest' we
give next week), saw some friends and am able to go to the Birthday
party of Wendy, my ex-neighbor, tonight!
</p>
<p>
Busy day, but a lot of fun!!</p> ]]></description>

The next version of THE browser of choice, <a href="http://mozilla.com">Firefox</a>, is expected some time next week...try it! (especially if you're still on some crappy version of <a href="http://microsoft.com/ie">IE</a>...uuhhh, that would be any version really ;)). <a href="http://apple.com/safari">Safari</a> is still a good alternative for the Mac though (to be honest, I haven't tried it on the PC)<br />
</p>
<p>
And besides...if <a href="http://scobleizer.com/2008/06/06/mike-arrington-and-steve-gillmor-dont-use-firefox-30/">Robert Scoble</a> goes bananas about Firefox, you should too, ah? ;)</p> ]]></description>

Some might have noticed, the .nl domain is now being redirected to
my .com domain. The setup is still not perfect (I used a plain html
re-direct) and older blog entries are not redirected at the moment, so
still some work to do...
</p>
<p>
I don't want to skip the .nl completely
yet, first need to make sure that the Technorati authority as well as
site visits are moving more towards the .com domain.</p> ]]></description>
