GoneWacko’s Blog

On blogging, holidays and entrepreneurship

July 8, 2006 on 12:02 am | In Life |

Heh, I noticed (a long time ago) that I usually start my blog posts with the words ‘wooo’ or ‘well’ or ’so’. Or at least that’s usually one of the first things that come to mind when I decide to blog something. I actually had to refrain myself from doing so in this one.

So the holidays have now officially kicked off (after 3 or so weeks of just not having school), after receiving my foundation course diploma. Taking into account my day-night rythm during the holiday, I had to get up at the equivalent of 1:00 AM to get to school. (I usually go to bed around 4:30 AM and I had to get up at ~8:00)
So now I’m quite tired, as the following chat transcript very aptly shows:

00:27 * GoneWacko is installing re-Ubuntu
00:27 <@GoneWacko> errr
00:27 <@GoneWacko> re-installing
00:28 <@GoneWacko> And I didn’t even have any beer yet
00:28 <@GoneWacko> Don’t think I will actually

Although I do not have much planned for the holidays, I am currently considering a very spontaneous and impulsive trip to Finland, just to meet some people I know from the internet and in the process see some nice things.
I still have to consider it all very carefully though… Will I know/trust the people enough, will I have enough to do, can I (and do I want to) afford it, can I sleep over at friends to save some cash, etcetera. I’m still hoping to invest in a little PC upgrade so I’m not sure if I should even do it - depends on how much fun I can expect from going to Finland.
My family has never been very impulsive when it comes to holidays so it’ll be an interesting… variation

Also, I am finally the co-owner of a company!
Some days ago me and some friends went to the house of commerce and registered our hosting/webdesign/web-application development/website management/general ict-solutions company.

We decided to go with the corny name ‘RBTS’ which are the first letters of our first names (Rob, Bram, Tim, Stijn). We can always change it to something catchier, and RBTS (at the very least in Dutch) doesn’t sound THAT bad. The website’s not done though, plus it’s in Dutch, so don’t laugh.
