Jan-Piet Mens

I'm looking forward to a spot of shopping here and here, the drive to this city, then via this place to this.

It might be hard to believe, but I already now know that I'll also be looking forward to this after all of the above.

Stay tuned: it won't be quiet during my absence.

I don't recognize this quotation. Can you help me? (click to see the canvas)

From my inbox:

I've blurred out the chap's email address a bit, because the Exim mailing list archives do so as well.

I find it astonishing that somebody who is savvy enough to lurk around on the Exim mailing lists, doesn't know how to properly configure his Out Of Office (OOO) agent.

A simple checkbox suffices to avoid useless and bothersome chatter on mailing lists, disables such idiotic messages to be delivered to thousands of users, and it also avoids collateral spam.

I wish that'd be the Lotus Notes default setting!

Perl/Linux is a distribution where all programs (except for the Linux kernel and Perl itself) are written in Perl.

That reminds me of the "crazy" project of writing a Web server in PostScript.

The machine that spoke to me when I called the American Embassy in Frankfurt over an expensive 0900 number, promised to connect me to a human within 60 seconds. After blabbering at me for just over five minutes, the voice informed me that no line was available and requested I call back later. Total charge to my telephone bill: EUR 11.16

Thank you very much. It was a tremendous pleasure doing business with you.

Thanks Nic.

Thanks, Nic!
