I havent blogged for a while.
The reason for this, is because of www.geekswithblogs.net/jemimus <— my main blog site.
The stuff I have wanted to post about recently, mostly personal things, just hasn’t fitted in that page, and I share the sites owners, Jeff and John, wish to make it a really great resource for the IT community. Personal stuff is a bit awkward there, it detracts from the overall content.
Therefore I have decided to no longer post personal items there, but to leave that blog to be my outlet for purely technical things. And my technical posts there should pick up again in time.
I will leave my other blogs, the livejournal one, my MSN Space, etc, as my alternative, more personal blogs. I may or may not post technical content on them, dont know yet.
The content on all the other blogs are all identical by the way, I post to them all at the same time using Blogjets really great group-posting feature.

And now to what I have been doing lately. First the technical stuff, then other stuff.
<technical>

At work I have been bussy with a really massive migration. I am writing the overall plan, or more, an index into all the stuff that needs doing. We are basicly migrating a child-domain to another child-domain in a massive target forest, really a global affair. I have found myself on conference calls with people all over europe, and frequently have to liason with the network guys in the UK. Really, I have never worked on an enviroment so huge, but I feel completely at home and at ease. I just know this stuff so well.
By the way, I am also trying out MSN Messenger 8 beta and IE7 beta2 .. both are cool. Now I cant decide between Firefox and IE.. both have more or less the same cool features.
I stopped using Google reader for my rss, cause they never ever update it. Using Newsgator online for now, until something better comes along. You think Ask made Bloglines actually usable yet?

The company I work for directly has stuck me in a course, as you may know, and that has been, on the whole, a good experience. I am glad to relate that the Microsoft courseware for Exchange 2003 is pretty good, and the ‘soft-skills’ course I have been having along side this, mostly about communication and the like, has been very very good too. Its being given by Monique Kerssens, who is, I gather, considdered somewhat of a nationally known Guru when it comes to communication, presentation and interpersonal realationship techniques. I know firsthand she is very very good. She is also one of the few people who are certified to administer the MCT exam in the Netherlands, apparently.

As for my personal life, it has mostly centered around World of Warcraft (WoW) My guild is very very serious about tackling the end-game content, and so am I. Most nights I find myself in a 40–man raid killing some of the hardest bosses the game has to offer. And the rewards have been numerous. My current outfit can be found here, but needless to say, its got a lot of purple, and keeps getting better every week. We have Onyxia on farm status, and Ragnaros now falls weekly aswell. Black Wing Lair FTW! Oh yes, and our server also had the gates of Ahn’Quiraj opened.

Do I have a social life left? No. But then, I didn’t before WoW anyway.
Chuck Norris pwns you all by the way.

In other news, I recently went to Karin’s Birthday party (Karin is doing a sketch a day on her blog now, btw), which was great. Pictures here. She has asked for some Ipod nano accesories, and while I was shopping, I suddenly remembered this, and dived into Dixons and bought some gift cards. I regretted this shortly thereafter when I realised that these gift cards can only be spent at Dixons, and while Dixons has a fair amount of Ipod stuff, they dont have as much as other shops, like the MediaMarkt. Couldn’t change them though.. oh well.. its the thought that counts right? I think susan is cute, btw. Oh yes, and Chafik still owes me.
Still listen to a lot of podcasts. my OPML can be found here
Recently been trying to find more Warcraft related podcasts, but Taverncast and WorldofWarcast seem to be the best ones out there. I have posted about Taverncast before.. they are just excellent at this stuff.
Current music habbit: Evanescence. Dont know why, but all of a sudden I just noticed their music and .. uhh.. well its aweseome. Cant wait for the new album. Favorite songs: Missing, My Last Breath, Imaginary, Breathe no More, Helo.
In other news: Episode 10 of Pure Pwnage came out yesterday. Get the torrent here. This time there was no big pre-screening unfortunatly, perhaps next time. Word has it there are still only a handfull, including myself, that know Jeremy and Kyles true identity 
Oke.. that is enough of an update for now.
