The end of August will see me at an in Enchede, Netherlands at "Elmine's birthday bash". It is preceded by an informal conference organised by Ton Zijlstra (Independent Thoughts ) to share stories about our day-to-day working lives - with most people being of the independent consultant-webworker type - and where, for many of us, the boundaries between work and not-work is not always worked out.

My contact has mostly always been with Ton who I met once in Amsterdam at a CPsquare event and who stays in my network through Plazes , Dopplr , Flickr , and his blog. He also made a trip over for lunch at the KM4Dev conference in the Netherlands in 2007.
