Where is harryd? -- follow-up

Nearly one year ago I've written that we build our own house. Now after a lot work is behind us, we are in and I have more time than I had in the past year. Currently I am preparing a blogpost. If you think that might has something to do with FreeNAS 8 and a benchmark, than you might be right. So... stay tuned...

Flattr

I've stumbled upon flattr :-)

Flattr is a social micropayment platform that lets you show love for the things you like.

As I've always looked for a service like this to show other people my respect and want to give them something back, I think this might be the right platform to do this. I've added a button to each of my blogposts and if you like what you read, you can press this button.

Of course, you need to be a user of this service, so please register for a beta invite or ask me at harryd71 at users dot sourceforge dot net or send me a direct message on twitter.

Many thanks for your support!

P.S.: Nico showed on this blogpost how to add a flattr button to blogger. Many thanks, Nico (of course, I've flattr'd you :-) )

Where is harryd?

Maybe you've recognized that I am not very active here or at the FreeNAS forum.

The reason behind this... I build together with my wife, our own house. She is the architect and there is a lot of work to do. To be honest... If you see our piece of land, you won't see too much, as the craftsmen just begun. But there is a lot of work to do behind the scenes.

The next few weeks / months will be very exciting, as we can see how our dream is built in stone and wood (and all the other materials). There is a lot of work to do for me, as I will do the whole electricity (and a few other things).

I've prepared another blogpost and I hope I'm able to finish it soon. So, please stay tuned and thanks for all your feedback!

Goodbye MacBook Pro :-(

I was on vacation last week. We stayed in France near Paris (Melun, La Rochette). On the campground La Belle Etoile.

In the night to Friday (22-May-2009) there was a robbery on the campcround.

Thieves stolen my backpack and my camera bag out of a VW-Bus while my friends stayed inside.

It is unbelievable but there was my beloved MacBook Pro, my Ipod, an external disk, two objectives for my camera and lots of other equipment in this bags :-( All of this is gone...

So if any of you find a MBP with the serial number W8809S9BYJK it belongs to me. Please contact me harryd71 at users dot sourceforge dot net
