Currently I'm hard at work (well apart from writing this quick posting) to create a presentation of my Master research project. This will also be the defense, so I'm making myself a tad nervous for it (yeah yeah, it's just talking in front of a bunch of people about a …

Today my lovely girl and I are together for eleven years. She seems to still love this big fool, so I keep grinning. It's going to be a foolish and crazy year :)

Interesting, I think I'm exactly 27.5 years old today (27 years 21 weeks and 4 days to be precise)

A pizza with the radius "z" and thickness "a" has the volume pi*z*z*a

Feeling uninspired lately. Anyone knowing how to get into a nice buzz again? It would surely help to get things done again :) (I generally get psyched when discovering/using some interesting new technique, and I have some ideas for using multiple in a new project. However, I'd like to finish …

I like to do a non-sequitur on people now and then.

Now please don't follow me on my account there or I really have to spend time on it. Time I don't have. Time I rather spend doing something fun, or even posting on this weblog. So why did I sign up again?

It seems the NoScript author sneakily added some whitelist rules to people's Adblock Plus list so ads on his website are not blocked. This might even have been OK by most people if only he had been frank and up-front about it. But he went further: he also *patched the …

Embrace the Singularity, before it embraces you. She's cute anyway.

I nearly switched on my fog lights today, it was that foggy!

We just went to The Phantom of the Opera. One word: wow!

Oh by the way, happy Pi day :) (Another party at the 22nd of July?)

People around me and around the globe use Twitter to stay updated with the day-to-day (and sometimes minute-to-minute) things in the lives of others. Myself I barely have time and energy to post updates here and keep up with the news and my comics feed, so have skipped the Twitter …

This morning I had a not-so-uneventful road trip to work. Just after leaving the gas station and getting on the highway, I was amused by a BMW passing me by with its bonnet almost entirely unlocked. There surely is a reason for that second lock after all. Not long thereafter …

Sooo, since 2008-04-02 I've gotten about 11487 spam messages on my photolog (which really isn't used all that much; only 57 posts and 2 actual comments), while I have disabled 95 comments on this weblog which is used quite extensively (at least to my standards) with 790 posts and 366 …

Currently I'm counting down to Unix Epoch time 1234567890 with a cold glass of beer, irc and some screens of code. Life is good.

My head still hurts a bit from the lack of sleep last night, but it's worth it. The beer event was just plain awesome (those Belgian people sure know how to brew their beer) and the aftermath -- roaming through the streets of Brussels in search for some great kebab with …

Sorry if I sound whiny, but I have to get this out of my system (hey, this is my rantbox remember? :). Currently, I'm feeling like most of my energy has left me; I have to finish an assignment for my study (deadline any time now), spend my time at work …

I'm about to throw a little party at our place for which I invited a lot of family and friends. Some of those people unfortunately suffer from the flu or busy agendas and had to invite themselves another evening, but it seems we will still have quite a lot of …
