Went in the late afternoon to Internet in Business / Smart Business event in the RAI Amsterdam. Was hoping to see somthing interesting, but I found out that I’m not the right person for these events. All guys with wrong suits walking around there… Mostly people in the ‘sales’ business… no ‘weirdoos’ like me…(ha ha). You see something interessting, you have a ‘dog’ behind you, asking you something, trying to judge you in the first two minutes (you see them thinking, who is he, which company, which position). After a few minutes I often know what I wanted to know… and have to find a polite way to end the conversation, which is so often difficult. They have to spend three day’s there and are happy to confront some-one whith their story…
Nowaday’s I have to wear a suit a work, (of course without the tie because I will always stay a rebel you know, and, hay, I’m working in the Internet Business), the approach is so different then before, when I was walking around in jeans or casual… really typical small minded business men approach. 
I need to have a good excuse for next time to go there. If there will be a next time, because the fair was not so populair as years before. Guess the recession and the bursted webballoon has had it effects on this ‘booming businesses’.

Found out that my former high-school (or Lyceum as we call it here)  Fons Vitae Lyceum , will have a reunion next summer. Was funny to read their websites and see some old pictures… They even have a site dedicated to the reunion .
But I’m not sure if I will go there… last time in 1990 was not much of a succes. (I left school in 1985.. oef.. long time ago already).
