Well, that was not expected, another update before we hit Leopard. It was followed by a security update a day later as well. You can install them without any issues related to our server software. There is however a problem reported with popping noises coming from the speakers on Intel Mac’s after installing this update. I haven’t noticed it myself but be warned.

More about the software update or the security update

I’ve got some time to spare to give you all an update on how things are going at the moment. The new job is quite exciting and I’m very busing taking all the new stuff in and learning a lot of new people. The number of my LinkedIn connections just doubled in the last month. I’ve helped with a bid, a consulting document for a client and started on creating some structure in the way they do integration projects.

One of the nice perks that come with the new job is a company car and I’ve found myself a nice one that fits the budget I had. I’ve decided on the new Mitshubishi Outlander. While researching the car I came across this promotional video which really sold it to me.

The cityscape scenery in the commercial is shot just a few blocks from my home in Rotterdam, it gives you a nice impression of the great architecture we’ve got here. Hope you like it as well !

PS: I’ve ordered a black one and I’ve taken the Rockford Fosgate audio system as well. Can’t wait to actually get it…

Update: It ended up to be the “cool silver” version. I’ve been driving it now for a month and have used it for my holiday to Italy. It was great and still is a very good drive… even on the german autobahn.

Sorry for having the site offline, almost for 24 hours this time. The cause, a telco-telco migration of my DSL line! My ISP has been taken over by another larger ISP and now they are moving everybody to the new owners network. The actual move yesterday wasn’t announced, I only noticed I was suddenly offline while I wasn’t at home and couldn’t do a thing. We’ll see how they will perform and if it will become a buggy connection I guess I’ll have to get myself a different ISP.
