    I am gearing up for a job search. $currentjob is laying off remote workers and $newjob backed out at the last minute due to internal issues of their own. Have been doing Customer Service, Linux Admin and Support in the Web Hosting industry for many years, and am looking to work remotely. I’ll be working on some personal projects, and also getting more familiar with RoR, Ansible, and some other technologies that I have been wanting to explore but haven’t had the time for. If anyone is looking for such a person, my username at gmail.com.

      Travelling from north of Egland to Munich (in Germany) for bi-monthly meetup, meeting a couple colleagues for the first time. Currently stranded in Amsterdam due to bad weather, and my onward flight is tomorrow evening. Anyone have any suggestions for how to kill 24 unexpected hours in Amsterdam? Keep in mind I only have the clothes I’m wearing, as luggage is being held at airport. Also, drugs not really my thing.

        The Rijksmuseum is one of the wonders of the world. I remember the Amsterdam city museum being really great, too.

          I saw it from the canal boat… but I didn’t make it in this time. Perhaps next time I get stranded in Amsterdam :-)

          The Van Gogh museum is great if you’re interested in art. Be prepared for queues though.

            Thanks for the warning about queues. I think I’m all queued up after spending 90 minutes queueing on the Tarmac before we even left England, followed by 8 hours and counting queueing at Schipole today…

              you can buy the tickets online to avoid the queue :)

                Completely avoid? Or just reduce? I was honestly quite interested in this, but I was knackered and it felt like too much effort. I just strolled around, drank some wine, and enjoyed gliding around the city on the hop-on/off canal boats… All in all, not the worst way to spend a day :-)

          haha, nice one!
