Yeah, finaly I got myself a photoprinter! Got the Epson Picturemate yesterday at Mediamarkt in Amsterdam. It prints really nice pictures!! me = happy
Yesterday afternoon there was a storm passing over our little country. Of course at rush hour(s) more accidents happened so again we got stuck in a 9 km long traffic jam.....
Since a few months I am looking around for a new pda and I came around the site of handspring, they make the smartphone called treo 600. Its a phone and pda together and with a cam and a memory card slot ..... and I can go on about all the good things about this thing. So I went searching on ebay and bidding. Found one last night with a good price so I started bidding on it. And this morning when I looked the item was not there anymore.... looked in my mailbox and guess what, an email from ebay itself! Saying this:
Please be aware that auction:3684197244 -treo 600,brand new,unlocked has been ended early and your bid has been cancelled.

and I found an email of the so called ebayer asking me to contact him.....
I only wanted a treo 600 unlocked for a good price!!! I will start my hunt again.
Bieeep bieeeeeep bieep, aarrggh time to get out of bed. Half awake downstairs behind my computer, hmm time to read my email.... aarrggh server down, forgot about that :( Okay then I will start right away with the getting ready to go to work routine... Wait before going to the office I have to pick up a parcel at the post-office (my new cam!!!). Got in the car, its just 3 streets to get to the post-office, and in street 2 is this big truck blocking three quarters of the road.... and of course a traffic jam at the roundabout. Okay at the post-office, throwing money in the parking permitting thing or how do you call it, got the little nr note in the post-office and then wait wait wait wait, YAAAAAAAWNNN (hmm still tired). NR 58!! Ow yes thats me. Sir I am here to pick up this parcel, giving the man the pick up note. He looks a bit strange at it (UH-OH) and tells me: you have to go to the small post-office in the Primera store (which is one street from the post-office). Back in the car, drive to Primera, AARRRGGH where do I park my car??? Aaah a car is leaving, yes i will take that parking-spot. Snif snif, what do I smell in this store?? Cigarette smoke.... the owner of this little store is smoking while working/helping people *sigh*. Again waiting, he has to find my parcel somewhere in the back, aah he got, I have to sign and I can get out of that smelly store. Now up to the office. First street, a big truck is unloading and blocking my side of the road but I am not being nice or patient anymore now. Okay passed the truck aaah now its going smooth.... Uhoh the traffic light at the next big intersection isn't working... chaos... Passed that....no not again, yes again, again a big truck blocking the road, but now both sides, got to drive over the bicycle path now....and guess what, ANOTHER TRUCK blocking half the road.... me not being patient anymore at all now... I just want to get to the office. Okay finally on the highway, tring tring tring.... its time for a car-kit. If I can fix something when I am at the office and its urgent.... I will I will. Wooow now its going smooth :) Wait wait, why are all these cars stopping????? Ow no, the bridge is open!!. All the traffic on the highway is stopped so that this freaking bridge can open, so that the Yachts can pass......
Normally this trip to the office takes 15-20 minutes. Today it was 40 :(
And yes I have fixed that problem at the office :) but still haven't gotten time to play with the camera (fuji finepix s7000). And the server is back up so I have an online life again.
Lets hope this afternoon will be better.....
Just arrived home from the States, the flights were okay, but I am really tired now, so I am going back to bed for a few hours and then try to be human again :)
