Bart Verwilst a.k.a Bort :: Blog

As posted in several other blogs, i’m also called Bort in reallife. But since wherever i work, at least 1 Bart is already working there as well, I’ve gotten used to the nickname, and i actually respond better to Bort than to Bart lately. At my previous job at Hostbasket, several newer coworkers actually came to me saying “hey, that guy called you Bart? Why’s that?” after working with me for several weeks/months It was such a normal thing to call me Bort, that everyone did so, even on presentations and documents. So i don’t mind being called Bort, it has a certain charm to it I do find it annoying to have to tell the origin of that name a lot, which was originally used in an episode of the Simpsons, where the Simpson family went to Itchy & Scratchy land. Bart was looking for a namebased licenseplate in a shop there, but could only find ones labeled “Bort”. That name came back several times during that episode. There, now everyone knows

A non-technical post this time My girlfriend and I are looking for a young kitten to join our new home, so if anyone (knows someone who) has a cat that just gave birth to some young-ones, let me know, as we might be able to provide a good home for it
