As my first 3 months in India are almost done, Belgium sends out a couple of its sons to replace me ... They even made the Belgian and Indian newspapers :
For Colruyt India however these two (soon available in the comic stands here in India) did not seem to be the right solution. Instead Peter is joining us today. Welcome Peter !
Today both the office in Halle Belgium and the one in Hyderabad India are closed. In India we celebrate Independence Day, in Belgium OLV Hemelvaart. On top of that, in the province of Antwerp where I come from, its also Mothers Day. Ne gelukkige moederkesdag moeke !
P.S. The picture shows the entrance of the Pioneer Office, also on the 7th Floor. They had enough flags and balloons to share around :-)
On Monday we had a full-fledged Pooja performed at Colruyt India's office. If I understood everything correctly both the office and its inhabitants are now on their way to prosperity
The two new SysAdmins have been twisting my arm to get a correction on "The First SysAdmin Meeting". However, first is first, I don't do corrections. But they are right in saying that the picture no longer shows the full team.
The WhiteFace sitting down is Tom by the way ... And if these are all the SysAdmins, then who is taking the picture ? This mystery will soon be resolved here !
Today, August 1st, the 1st Java training starts at Colruyt India. Another 14 people will join us (some a couple of days later). The training-room ... is ready and waiting. Liesbet and Ashok ... are ready and slightly nervous. Welcome to you all !
Some 4 experienced Java Developers kicked my shins after reading the above. They've been with us - going through the training at speed - for a full month now and never even got a mention on this blog. My apologies guys and here's a big "Welcome" to you as well !
