In my country it's usual to spend the evening with oliebollen and appelflappen. A picture says more than a few words.
So I wish you a happy New Year.
And keep your resolutions. I try too!

Snowy
It's winter. The north of the country can't be visited by public transport. Trains are cancelled. Buses too. In fact The Netherlands has come to a halt.
Doesn't matter on a Sunday.

Socrates
Been very busy at work. Today I did everything what was on my list. So my year at the office has almost come to an end (6 day's work).
Today was the last day working with GWS4All, Centric-software for municipalities.
That means the last moment to make some payments with this system. It also means that I saw the birth, rise and fall of software used in an organization of 5,000 men/women.
Quiting GWS4All also means that all people from the Centric-organization leave our's. Less external-staff in our business, that's what we want. Next week on my department a few people have to leave. The necessity has been questioned by some people.
Sometimes I have a feeling that managers do things to favour others. With my manager I also feel that she tries to do what's best for herself.
I hear an inner-voice calling:
GWS4ALL will be replaced with SOCRATES, software for the 4 largest municipalities in the Netherlands and also developed by them.
Hopefully the name is wisely chosen, because Centric built software which couldn't completely satisfy user-demands. Socrates can? On January 4 the new system will be operational.
Next year will be an important year:
- my work and how will it be organized;
- works council and the restructuring of some departments;
- cycling Paris-Roubaix in June;
- vacation.
I really have no resolution for next year. I hope that I will pick up my cycling again to be able to ride Paris-Roubaix.
So hopefully Twenty Ten will conditionally be a better year.
Of course twenty-ten will give us all hope on a great future. (however the Copenhagen Climate conference makes me shiver (politicians talk, leaders act))
May 2010 bring the best for you and us.
