Hello everyone
-
Some might know I am not new here. Most may not. Anyways, I have moved to Netherlands. So far everything has been good personally. Financially I am screwed because every service (in India) I engage with is run by idiots. I am OK shelling out money as long as they do the job. They don't. Positives? I like it here. Lots of walking, less pollution and so many beers! Work wise, I am going to miss programming. If I get time I might write an odd method here and there but I see I have moved to the dark side (no not management, consultant). If anyone here is thinking to move to another country, understand their laws and also keep aside 3 times normal monthly budget for at least 2 months after moving. Apsrt from this spend time understanding their culture but I make sure I do not copy or pretend to be like them. It really has helped me in my 8 years of travel around the World. Now, real question, did someone beat OG in points? Did DD came back? Did hamsters make a union and now we are all slaves?

We briefly had our chance a couple of weeks back:
I'm up to 768 rep points in QA now!
Sadly, Chris managed to track down the bug and fix it, so we'll just have to wait for him to overflow the rep point data type. :)

Yeah, but I did a midnight raid down the chimney, avoided the lasers, jumped over the shark tank, and stole 'em all back.

Already noticed that, you said you liked it here. One of the national hobbies is complaining how bad it is; the weather, the prices, the railways. ..and the rent is too damn high! Welcome :D

That sounds a lot like you were playing "Zwarte Piet", did you wear black facial paint too ? More information about the tradition here: Sinterklaas - Wikipedia[^] :-\

Good to hear from you again, be careful not to get involved in the "Zwarte Piet" discussion which is getting quite heated by now :-\

I'm not sure whether I recognize you, but I do recognize the sig:

...which I've always disagreed with, because JavaScript and VB6 aren't difficult to "decipher". The difficult thing to understand, if anything, is WTF they were thinking.

Sounds like a good advice, one that i surely need if I ever have the chance to move Netherlands.

Den Bosch, guess that is South. I have noticed people complaining about weather not other things though, yet. The look like they are not able to process the information when my response about weather is that it's good. Some did tell me rent is high but I am OK with paying a little more as long as I live in the center (don't need a parking spot so nothing to complain).

It's usually also not as bad as they make it out to be. Have a kroketje!
