Recently I figured out there’s a game called Seven Things where someone tags you on his blog and asks you to share seven things that people might not know about you. Playful but cool. My main man felixdv tagged me in his post so I’m honored to share some Thijs trivia.

Did you know?

1. I am the support manager at COMBELL
2. I saw the Rolling Stones live for the first time when I was 11 years old and a second time when I was 23 years old
3. I was a foreign exchange student in Joensuu (Finland) in 2004
4. I’ve been adopting the Straight Edge lifestyle for over 12 years now.
5. I grew up in a little Belgian town called Diksmuide
6. I’ve studied Latin for 6 years
7. I learned ASP before learning PHP

Let’s tag some crucial dudes

This isn’t such an easy task because a lot of people are already tagged. Still … the people I’ll tag truly deserve it:

• Chris Ramakers: because he knows his PHP stuff, because he is a very nice guy and a good client of mine. He’s actually chief of technology at Inventis.
• Steve Roelens: because he’s a full blown party animal, a PHP developer at bSeen and also a good client of mine
• Brecht Ryckaert: because he knows a hell of a lot about EEEPC’s, because he’s in my team and because I know he’ll become a grade-A support engineer in no time.
• Paul Delbar: because he’s a LAMP guru, a truly phenomenal speaker and a down-to-earth guy. And you might have guessed: he’s a good client of mine. Did I mention he owns Delius?
• Marcello Duarte: I don’t really know him that well, but I sat next to him during the workshops at DPC 08. He’s an easygoing guy and apparently he’s the Scrum master at IBuildings (so I’ve heard)
• Stijn Claerhout: one of the fastest thinking, hardest working dudes on the planet earth. He’s a Debian addict and I’m proud to call him my colleague. I forgot to mention he’s COMBELL‘s System manager
• Jan Raedschelders: because he’s the co-owner of a lovely webdevelopment company called Inventis and because he is the single most hospitable guy in the galaxy. He’s also one of my favorite clients

The rules and how to pass them on

• Link your original tagger(s), and list these rules on your blog.
• Share seven facts about yourself in the post – some random, some wierd.
• Tag seven people at the end of your post by leaving their names and the links to their blogs.
• Let them know they’ve been tagged by leaving a comment on their blogs and/or Twitter.
