I am 28 years and live together with Kimberly in a newly built apartment.  The construction of the building has been finished in 2006 and since 2007 Kimberly joined me. We are close to town centre of Dordrecht and enjoy the walking distance for doing all kind of activities; especially the shopping areas and couple of bars.

I was born in Dordrecht and until my 11th I lived outside the Netherlands. Since than I live in Dordrecht. Check at wikipedia for more information.

What are my interests?

Many things but since I am having long working days and the fun of traffic jams each day I try to priories my valuable time. At least once week you can find me at the gym and often twice. I like to be with my family and friends and hang out together; read a good book or watch a movie. My Xbox360 is sitting for a year in the living room and now and than switched on.

I have couple of my favorite television programs. Heroes S1 was really good and I am looking for the second part; Stargate SG1 and Stargate Atlantis are also at my top list. Sometimes when the weather is dark outside and many times here in the Netherlands it is I download an update of DLTV internet show.

No special or exotic hobbies for now. Maybe couple in the future …. I like to take pictures and I am thinking of buying a good slr photocamera and doing some professional training.

Besides my personal interests and some not to blog about I am enjoying the technology in general.  Couple years ago I started with VMWare Workstation 4 and I can’t remember anymore but also installed Esx2 in that time. I loved this technology and today there are so many projects going on which will make our ‘virtual’ live easier when using them. From business perspective but also in using the ‘virtual’ technology at home it will have big impact in the next couple of years and complete landscape of working with computer systems will change.

Windows Vista is on the market for almost a year now and many complaints from business and consumers are coming back and blamed on Vista of it’s compatibilities with the legacy hardware and software. I personally see the benefit of using the hardware virtualization products like VMWare Player and Microsoft VirtualPC 2004/2007 for solving many of those problems. I personally like VMWare products because they support more features like USB for example than VirtualPC.

So many things to think about and write them down and share with everyone.

I have many projects going on right now, but now and than I am going to blog about my journey of using different virtualization products. I will include screencasts, tutorials on howto on this site.
