Going to Poland

Tonight we are leaving for Poland due to sad family circumstances. My girlfriend's grandfather died last friday and we go to the funeral.
Guess what I try to say is... no postings the next days (as if anyone would read them :-) )

Daddy Day Care

We went to the movies yesterday evening to see Daddy Day Care with Eddy Murphy. Somewhere in the papers I had read that this was the old Eddy again, but no... this guy just lost his funnyness over the years. Spent most of the time in the cinema playing with my mobile phone (of course in silent mode).

Major breaking news

We bought the house!!!!!!! The one we wanted (see an earlier post) and we can enter the place 3rd of November. So guess we now have to visit places like this more often. Makes me happy :-(

A dutch guy on a motor wanted to try his new motor on the highway. The police caught him with a top speed of 253 km/h. He had to give his driver's licence and new motor immediately to the police. Why didn't he try it in Germany! Sucker

Bidding....

As expected the first bid was turned down. I guess we're now in the bidding game, but it's fun. Am going to make new offer on Monday.

Quest for houses continued

Tomorrow, we visited this house for the second time. We're really enthousiastic about it and just made our first offer. Am curious about first reaction.

GPRS working on P800

What a story. Tried everything yesterday to get GPRS working on my p800, but nothing worked. Today called with Debitel again and their GPRS helpdesk would help me further. After one hour I received a call that my p800 was not supported by Vodafone Live where yesterday they said it was supported.
I, friendly, asked to test it themselves with a p800 and this guy promised he would do so and call me back.
Four hours later still no reaction. But since I really want it to work I went to the Sony Ericsson website where they have a WAP-configurator. Filling in the fields and selecting GPRS for it, made them send an SMS to me with the right settings, and guess what? It works and I'm a happy man again.

Only thing is that it took more effort of me than expected and that I thank SonyEricsson for their help on the website (in contrary to Debitel). Although putting it into a wap-configurator i.s.o. a GPRS configurator was some puzzle for me.

Mobile danger

Do we all have to get scared now? Pitty that they didn't say which brand and type :-)nu.nl/algemeen nieuws | Mobieltje ontploft in gezicht vrouw

Quest for a house

Going to look at a house again. This is not my favourite, but still have to see it myself before I can judge!klik hier

ClubP800

For my mobile phone this is a good place to find news, tips and other interesting things. Already looked there how to configure my p800 when it has GPRS later this day.

GPRS continues...

Just went to a Debitel seller (BCC) and upgraded my subscription to GPRS. I am a little worried though, because I was their first customer who wanted this and we had to fill in a form which was everything but clear. But who knows, I still have (some) hopes that it will go right in one time.

A dream comes true

In may of this year I bought a great new phone (SonyEricsson p800) and since then I am very happy with this one.
I had only one disadvantage, my provider Debitel provided no GPRS, which I thought was one of the big plusses of my phone.
But now I'm happy, Debitel offers GPRS also through Vodafone and from tomorrow on I will have it! debitel Nederland B.V. - particulier - gprs - Vodafone live

Eyckenstein.com up and running again

Yesterday's trouble with eyckenstein.com are history. After pressing too much buttons at my hosting provider and this being published to the web too much, I now can finally say that the original settings are back and eyckenstein.com is on the air again.

Anti-virus virus

Guess the guy or girl who created this did it with good intentions but the results are the opposite.
Link is in Dutch!

It all looks so easy

But it's not!
After creating this weblog (which was quite easy) I had to change some settings at my hosting provider. I believe the settings are now right, but somehow the browser keeps looking for www.eyckenstein.com/weblog/weblog/weblog/weblog/weblog/weblog/weblog/weblog/weblog (click here)

I hope this is only temporary, because otherwise weblog fun is already over after 1 hour of experimenting.

Introduction

Who am I?
Just a short introduction...
I'm a thirty two years old guy from The Netherlands who works at an Internet company in Amsterdam.

I have a lovely girlfriend and we just started to live together.

Is there anything more you need to know?

No, Guess, you will know me better by reading this log.

Haunt for houses

And of course, I would like to be able to post some pictures along the way. But let's see how to do that. I start with pictures of houses I'm interested in buying.

So, we are looking for a new house. We, my girlfriend and I, now live in a one-room appartment in Hilversum, The Netherlands. Although it's cosey, it's far too small and we decided to look for something else.

But what a crap is there to be found...
Look at this for example, or this.

But in the end we found one we like. It's this one.

Weblog Eyckenstein

Another weblog on the Internet, but why?
Well, quite easy this one's mine and I can enter my thought, experiences and other things here.
Do I really believe that this will be a huge success?
No, I do it just for fun and to see whether I like this or not.
