Liones Trip 2007

October 16th, 2007 by

Thursday 11 October 2007, on this memorable day, I went, together with my all of my Liones colleagues, on a trip to a carefully kept secret location. In this post, possible more posts, I will tell you all about my experiences. To ensure that I do not violate anyone’s privacy I will not provide you the names of my colleagues, I will merely refer to their (not so memorable?) actions.

I sincerely hope you like this post.

Wrecked but Happy

October 14th, 2007 by

I am going to be short today because I am so wrecked. This weekend I went on a trip with my Liones colleagues: We went to Milano and it was totally crazy and wild. We left on Thursday and came back on Saturday and I actually glued myself another wild night to that ;-) .

Further details, rest assured not all of them, will follow as soon as I can read my screen without seeing blurry dancing worms :-( . Something like the next week comes to mind.

Cheers

Brainstorm/Dinner with the Boss

October 1st, 2007 by

This week I started with my job @ Liones instead of my job @ Van der Werff Watertechniek, the reason I switched those days was that we have an important meeting tomorrow. The day was quite nice; I did some interesting things on which I am not going to elaborate right now. The evening was truly interesting: I went dining with my boss: Jan Benedictus.

We went to a restaurant called ‘Lof der Zotheid’ which is a really nice restaurant, excellent food and an enjoyable experience: I do recommend it. Anyway, while enjoying our dinner we talked about: Liones, Van der Werff Watertechniek and various other subjects.

The moment which I found the most interesting was when we talked, well more brainstormed actually, about ways to improve Liones as a company. I introduced the idea for an internal weblog/forum/brainstorm platform on which any suggestions on how to improve the company could be discussed. Next we brainstormed about a project Jan had on his mind for quite some time ant talked about several business models.

I love to brainstorm and for some reason I always end up brainstorming with someone about something. Whether it is about programming, businesses, religion or human behaviour, I like it all. I love it possibly more than programming and that means something :D .

That is it for today. Cheers, until next time!
