We're in talks of maybe trying to evacuate our Ukrainian colleague to the Netherlands. Stay tuned and fingers crossed.

Just had a meeting with one of my Ukrainian colleagues in Odessa. Apparently they've destroyed another Russian warship. He says a lot of the Russians soldiers being sent to fight are just young boys who barely know how to drive a vehicle or fire a weapon, let alone hit a target. He seems...

He's making a point I've heard before, and which seems pretty accurate. If you have a regime that is basically a kleptocracy, then corruption runs all the way to the top. At every stage where maintenance of military gear had to be done, someone somewhere accepts a few bills under the table to do...

So, has our favorite comedy been renewed for another season yet?

Two of my colleagues were out for 2 whole weeks. They were fully vaccinated but didn't get the booster, and still it is worst they've ever felt. Completely sapped all their energy too. So please get vaccinated.

Russian forces have moved closer to Odessa now. It won't be long before all hell breaks loose.

He just gave you hard data. You're wrong. And rude.

Please keep it clean, and don't be snarky about it.

I'm in the Netherlands, but some of my Ukrainian colleagues are in Odessa.

Today's meeting was interrupted by AA fire intercepting Russian missiles, where some of my collegues had to take shelter. 22 missiles were shot down. 8 landed near Poland. And yet we are still trying to do our daily standups and scrum meetings with our Ukrainian colleagues. It is a mad world.

My company hosted a get together in a restaurant, where there would be "adequate room to social distance". I declined, because it seemed very unwise. Turns out someone had covid, and infected 6 others. Great job Einsteins!

Apparently Russia is now also stopping people in the streets to check their phones for "wrong" text messages. What a lovely country!

My passion is story telling, game design and level design. DM'ing is one of the few ways to instantly get feedback about your creations. I also enjoy being a player, but I will always have strong opinions about game and level design.

Today our meeting got interrupted by an air raid alarm. One of our Ukrainian colleagues had to seek shelter mid-meeting. It turned out to be only a drone. The madness of trying to do your job in the middle of a war. It is weird.

Today I got yelled at in a supermarket by a random old man, because he was offended that I still wear a mask at the supermarket. He told me that masks are toxic and flashed his business card as a lifecoach at me, so you know he must be right. He also called me a moron. I didn't bother to tell...

At this point we can't assume Putin is bluffing with anything. Remember when people said he wouldn't invade Ukraine? Yeah... Let's presume he's not bluffing. We are close to a nuclear war at the moment, and it could hit us all. A cornered dictator is a lot like a cornered cat: he is capable of...

My company has employees working in Odessa, where a lot of fighting is taking place right now. We have no idea if they are still alive, but we've assured them that they will continue to be paid, and hope they are safe. I have lots of friends living in Ukraine, and the thought that they may no...

It's also just great witty writing. Lets see: On this episode the crew of Serenity take on a job from a creepy guy called Nishka, to rob a train. The train heist doesn't go as planned, but Mal and Zoey escape by pretending to be a newly wed couple. Inara's respectible status as a compagnion...

I'm sorry for your loss. I wondered the same thing when I lost my farther early last year. The huge amount of covid patients meant that he couldn't be immediately rushed to the hospital in his own city, but had to be brought to another. I wonder if this delay made a difference, and if the...

It's not Firefly, if it doesn't have its excellent writing. You would need to hire the original writers, or at least a team of writers that can write episodes AS good or better than the original show.
