Freelance, Luxembourg the whole summer

The very exciting airport in Luxembourg

The very excit­ing air­port in Luxembourg

Got some rather big news to share with yall. I´ve booked the whole sum­mer from june to the 15th of august on a very big project here in Lux­em­bourg, yes I´ve arrived in the Euro­pean main­land for the summer.

My job will be to design a web­site (duhh), a client login area and then code the whole thing with beau­ti­ful html and css, not nec­es­sar­ily in that order though. I´m a big believer in not doing too much work in Pho­to­shop before start­ing cod­ing, that is when I´m also han­dling the coding.

Fam­ily
The hard­est part of all this will be the phys­i­cal dis­tance to my wife and kids. They will be stay­ing in Ice­land the whole time and hope­fully hav­ing a good time as I hope I will. But like said, the dis­tance is great so we will try to han­dle some of that with the won­ders of mod­ern tech­nol­ogy, thank you Skype, Google and Apple.

Work
I´ll be work­ing for a local pen­sion fund here in Lux­em­bourg where there are some guys I now know thank­fully. One of them I know quite well, used to play gui­tar together in the band dan modan. So I´m guess­ing I wont be lonely. I´m still gonna do yoga and med­i­tate every morn­ing to stay phys­i­cally & men­tally sharp as well as play­ing some golf. I hope I´ll be allowed to share some work in progress stuff with every­body as the work unfolds. I´ll have to talk with the peo­ple I´m gonna work with about that tomor­row dur­ing our first design briefing.

Now
So if you know some design enthu­si­asts in Lux­em­bourg (might be your­self) please leave a com­ment and let´s have herbal tea. If your read­ing this from a dis­tant or not so dis­tant land please keep pop­ping round, I´m gonna post reg­u­lar updates dur­ing my stay here.

    You mean the very small air­port in Lux­em­bourg ;) I am orig­i­nally from Lux­em­bourg and it is good to see that some­one from such an inter­est­ing region like scan­di­navia has found his way to this small but beau­ti­ful coun­try.
    I wish you best of luck and amaz­ing time in my coun­try :)

    yes, it is kind of small aint it :)

    There a Swedish lady sit­ting beside me at the office and a bunch of Danes and Nor­we­gians. Fur­ther­more there are 3 Ice­landic guys work­ing here. It´s a good blend if you ask me.

    Thanks for the good wishes Tess, it´s actu­ally going very good over here.
