Yesterday I created a website for my girlfriends group of students pharmaceutical sciences, which they gladly put online. Now she's learning HTML and even CSS fast and building her very own new pages. You can say I'm a bit proud :) Gotta love how you can whip up a nice website …

Puff-n-Stuff aka SithAdmin in #morphix at freenode.net told me he had a dual athlon mp2000+ motherboard with dualhead matrox g550 video card, power supply and 4GiB ram for a nice price. I was interested from the point he named the price and the shipping fee :) Also, instead of the …

I've been playing with site aquariusoft.org site the last few days, and you may have noticed quite a few changes coming and going. Currently I'm quite pleased with how things are looking [having a more experienced graphical designer taking a look at it and swallowing his critics helped too …

Why do girls insist on wearing their tight jeans *inside* their high boots? It looks dumb. And yeah, those fluffy dangling balls look even dumber.

I'm currently working in my Very Own(tm) cellar at work. Only occassionally someone comes by, mostly to fetch something from our huge color printer. I'm still not sure whether I don't like this or whether to be OK with it. It's quite interesting to have your own bunker at …

OK, so everything went quite smoothly :) My new home server is serving up the files on *.aquariusoft.org now, and it feels fast! [Should be, as the little box does have quite a lot more horsepower than the previous one]. If you find something unusual, please contact me. The gallery …

OK, I just changed the DNS entry for "aquariusoft.org" to point to my new server, hosted at our place. The old one still stands in a corner of my parents' place, and they grow a bit tired of it. dammIT may be offline for a little while, as it …

Yep, you read that right, I'm working on my aquamorph livecd again. The hardest part is configuring the Xfce4 environment to my likings [especially filling the panel with stuff], and rewriting the manual. Configuration nears its end, and I hope to have the manual written at the end of the …

As I've been using a PalmOS based pda for quite some years now, I've assembled a standard set of programs I use and like. I thought I should put them down for others to share. So, let's get started: AcidSolitaire: not free, but nice solitair game Agendus: also not free …

It's freezing outside, dark too, and it's about 2:30AM on my computer clock. I start to wonder what I'm doing here. I guess I should just get some rest and start counting some electric sheep [really, really neat fractal based screensaver; let it run a while, and you're hooked …

While celebrating christmas time in the high north of our small country, I took a hundred-ish pictures. Not only from us sitting around, but also from the scenery, from which I've put online some nice ones at this small album. If you like one, you can always ask me to …

No, those aren't wedding rings, but we *are* officially engaged :) Don't worry: we will marry when the time is there, and it simply isn't yet [being student and such]. You'll certainly notice when we take that next step :)

Today my girlfriend and I are together for 7.5 years. That's quite a long time, concerning my 24th birthday is at the end of this month. So that deserves a celebration. More about that later! [Including an interesting picture...] I love you sweety!

I'm spending the last hours of 2005 at the place of my GFs mother, where everyone is gathering to eat some of the home-made "oliebollen" [you know, those fried weat balls with raisins and such ;)]. 2005 was another year that rushed by. Lots of things I wanted to do only …

This is the subject of one of the spam messages I got today. Kinda links that software maker and incompetency rather nicely together, doesn't it? ;) As a sidenote, it's interesting the spammer used a normal mail program to send this crap, The Bat. [You see quite a wildly varying spectrum …

This week I have to do two examinations, and wrap up other things, but then I can sit back and relax a bit. Saturday the 24th an old friend comes visiting us, and will bring the movie Nosferatu with her. Old vampires galore :) After that, days of celebrating we have …

Source: this Slashdot posting from jsse in the topic about Music should be heard but not understood It is Q3 2030. You're arguing with your wife again. It seems she's missed her spending quota again this quarter. A proud patriot, you have no problem spending 85% and sometimes 90% of …

Now that even Alex has seen it, I really need to go watch that movie before it disappears from the about 12 screens it's currently shown on in The Netherlands [really a pity it wasn't advertised more: Firefly really rocks]. So... who wants to come with me? :)

... even when you've bought it already. Let me explain: when you shut down the operating system on your computer [say, your laptop], you expect it to power down the hardware. So when you close the lid of your laptop while it's shutting down, everything is fine. Except when you wake …

As both he and I ran out of our monthly rate, he's persuiting a Flickr Pro account so he can upload as much as he want. It's a really nice geeky and thoroughly tought out tool, so it would be a nice gift for him. So if you like Gandalfar …
