• The tagging game...

  Steven Van De Craen (excellent sharepoint blogposter by the way !) wanted to know some of my personal thingies..So here goes… I don't drink alcohol. Living in a country (Belgium) being known for its beers (& chocolates) people give you strange faces when you don't drink the national brew... My favorite kind of music is MetalCore and Hardcore/Punk. my favorite bands include: Length Of Time, Madball, Biohazard, Sick Of It All, Caliban, All Out War, Machine Head, Mastodon, Earth Crisis, E Town Concrete, Walls Of Jericho, Terror, Hatebreed, and lots more… I have a really huge record collection ;-) Best of the new breed: Amen Ra Go Check Them out ! Intensive gigs ! I enjoy playing online FPS games. I have my own clan called the belgianclan. I used to be the youngest of age. (Who said gamers are youngsters? Our oldest member is in his late fifties) We aren't quite active anymore due to the fact that most of the members are busy building houses, raising kids. But every now and then we still gather on our teamspeak channel and storm beaches together playing Call Of Duty or Battlefield… I graduated as a mechanical engineer. But then started a career in IT and I have never regretted that decision. Never touched my school books ever again except for giving some them to my girlfriend who graduated as something similar. (by the way: she graduated this year as an engineer Chemistry and found a job as researcher, so congrats Ljubow !) Almost a year ago I helped starting a Belgian SQL Server User Group. and now one year later we are organizing already our fourth event, we are on the edge of becoming a legal entity and the future looks bright. It has been a fantastic ride, the community is very active and the response is superb. A shout out to all core-members for making this possible.
