We live in the north of Amersfoort (about 50 km east of Amsterdam) and like it very much.<\/p>\n<p>My biggest hobby is computers. Once in a while a whole bunch of friends of mine come together, each with his or her computer and build a local network. This mostly starts on Fridays, and lasts &#8217;till Sunday afternoon. We sleep and eat whenever we like, without looking at the watch, for the whole weekend.<br \/>\nIn such a weekend we play the newest games, and share our newly obtained utilities.<\/p>\n<p>Also I am in a Gaming Clan, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mcgamers.com\/\">MC Gamers<\/a>, which supports multiple gaming disciplines, like Medal of Honor, Call of Duty, America&#8217;s Army Operations, BattleField 1942\/Vietnam\/Desert Combat, Enemy Territory, Joint Operations, Freelancer, and more. Lots of time is spent here not for playing (hope I could), but rather for technical support, keeping the servers running, as well as the forums. This, together with a great team within the clan!<\/p>\n<p>I currently have two systems, with two operating systems on them. These are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/\" target=\"_top\">Microsoft<\/a> Windows XP Professional (used for compatibility with appliance software)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.linux.org\/\" target=\"_top\">Linux<\/a> , distros Fedora Core release 9 and Gentoo.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I am doing training to become RHCA, and having three out of five modules so far, I&#8217;m doing rather well. I will become one of the few non-RedHat employees who will be RHCA. Perhaps this enables my carreer in more high level Linux work one day.<\/p>\n<p>Currently I am employed at NCCW in Almere. it&#8217;s a half hour drive, so one hour per day. NCCW does the hosting for the housing market. We are the one-stop-shop, providing:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>End user workstation support<\/li>\n<li>Software development<\/li>\n<li>Printing \/ mailing (snailmail)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The servers are run on VMWare technology, running a mixture of Microsoft Windows and RedHat Linux.<\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\n Beginning of JavaScript Applet          -\n\nfunction scrollit_r2l(seed)\n{\n        var m1  = \"-= It's always a challenge to learn ...\";\n        var m2  = \" but when it becomes a MUST, please not! =-\";\n        var msg=m1+m2;\n        var out = \" \";\n        var c   = 1;\n        if (seed > 100) {\n                seed ;\n                var cmd=\"scrollit_r2l(\" + seed + \")\";\n                timerTwo=window.setTimeout(cmd,100);\n        }\n        else if (seed <= 100 &#038;&#038; seed > 0) {\n                for (c=0 ; c < seed ; c++) {\n                        out+=\" \";\n                }\n                out+=msg;\n                seed ;\n                var cmd=\"scrollit_r2l(\" + seed + \")\";\n                    window.status=out;\n                timerTwo=window.setTimeout(cmd,100);\n        }\n        else if (seed <= 0) {\n                if (-seed < msg.length) {\n                        out+=msg.substring(-seed,msg.length);\n                        seed ;\n                        var cmd=\"scrollit_r2l(\" + seed + \")\";\n                        window.status=out;\n                        timerTwo=window.setTimeout(cmd,100);\n                }\n                else {\n                        window.status=\" \";\n\n                timerTwo=window.setTimeout(\"scrollit_r2l(100)\",75);\n                }\n        }\n}\n\n\/\/   End of JavaScript code\n\/\/ --><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Information about myself &#8230; <\/p>\n<p>I am Robert Hoekstra, born on the 5th of June, 1976 in Amersfoort, the Netherlands and I currently live in Amersfoort.
