Bermuda
What I know and what I'm knowing about this fantastic island.
Hi everybody, as you can see I am off again. Unfortunately this time was not for my fault, directly. I had a surgery last week here in Bermuda web site and now I have to stay on the bed for a while, so no PC and no nothing. I can just spend my time for studying for the new certifications I am going to prepare. I will be back soon and I will post a lot of SQL08 and Biztalk news, just wait and stay tuned!
This is an unusual post for me, today I will not talk about C#, or about Design Patterns or about SQL but about IT audit. In the past I have worked in a couple of banks in Switzerland and as a consultant. Now I'm working as an IT Manager in a finance company in Bermuda. One of the most non valued and non considered process in the IT departments are the procedures and technical manuals. But not for me. In my opinion one of the most important thing in a well maintained system is to keep live and up to...
I want to post something about what you're heard about Bermuda and a balance of wrong and true. Bermuda is a bad move for your career? Bermuda it used to be a halfway house on the road to professional oblivion for expat business types who were either tipsy or incompetent or both, but not any more. You can find very professional people in Accounting, IT and Financial area. Everything is expensive? Actually, also if we compare Bermuda to Europe after the Euro, Bermuda is merely expensive. A month rent for an house could be from 2000 to 20000 this is...
Last week I have completed my first group of lessons at the Iko course. The level are tree: Discovery, Intermediate, Independent. When you take the first lessons about the Discovery level, you don't need a kite because your teacher will give you everything. But when you start the intermediate level, you start with kiting; and in my opinion, because every kite is completely different, i have decided to buy my personal kite, board, and various instruments. My 5th line kite. This is a new entry in kite-boarding, actually you can find only kites with 4 lines,...
As may People of you know, hurricane Bertha is coming really close to the east cost of Bermuda Island. Today I have been to Sandy's beach to play kite-surf, because with the hurricane that is coming, the wind is perfect dangerous to play this crazy sport. In first I want to give you some information about Bertha. Bertha actually is a small Hurricane quoted 1, so the smallest in that category. Actually is really close to Bermuda and we can feel it by the wind that today is increased too much. Actually here the wind is around 30...
During one of my tour around the City of Hamilton, Me and my wife we have found a really small and strange alley. Inside you can find any sort of strange shop. I was really suggested about the paint made by a local painter here in Hamilton. Unfortunately I don't remember the name but I can show you some of them, because I was able to stole some shots with my camera. Take a look. Really nice, is some sort of Naïf painting but with a Bermudan touch....

Premise: if you come from Europe you will find this post very strange. The reason is that in Europe you can take an International driving license and use it where you want. But not in Bermuda!! If you want to take a Bike (Motorbike) or a Car you have to get the local Driving license. In addition you have to take 4 steps to drive everything. The first one is for the 50cc bike, then 100cc, then Automatic car and finally manual car. How to do it? First you have to go to the TCD (Transport Control...
