Incredible?

I'm going to The Incredibles tonight. I figure it will be fun, because it's another Pixar movie [almost garantee for success] and I've heard lots of good stories about it. I'll see :) dammIT update is coming along nicely. Need to implement some minor blogmarks related thingees yet, and then I'll …

It's that time of the year again

And again am I sitting here, hacking at some web projects, not studying for upcoming exams. dammIT will undergo a fairly mayor facelift in the near future [when it's done and IE plays nice :P ]. DJ Luna doing hardstyle on my headphones, for a change. If I want I can …

Updated url's

Just a short blurp to let you know I've finally come around to implement Apache rewrite rules for the aquariusoft.org site. That means no more ugly urls with stupid parameters, but nice ones like http://aquariusoft.org/page/linux/aquamorph/ for the aquamorph site. Please update your bookmarks accordingly …

Ping

Pong. Speaking about which, does anybody know a Pong game for GNU/Linux? I haven't looked for it, to be frank, but it just came up in my mind. I don't know why either. Anyhoo, life hasn't been interesting. Just the usual classes, working, adding blogmarks to the navigation of …

Procrastination, perfectionism and humble me

I'm a perfectionist, that's one thing that's sure. I love to create things, and I go to great lengths to do it right. That's one reason many of my projects aren't finished yet. I just haven't declared them good enough to call them that way. But on the other hand …

Yay, Firefox 1.0 final unleashed!

OK, going along with the hype, I want to make sure nobody misses this release :) Get Firefox now!. It's final, it's cool and it's not yet translated neatly into Dutch. But it's coming along [dutchies, you don't really want words like "webstek" in a program do you? Come on...]. Also …

I've lost faith in the world

Alex describes exactly how I felt yesterday [and still feel now]. I couldn't have said it better. Problem with "America voted for another 4 years, then they deserve him for another 4 years" is that we have to suffer it for another 4 years too... As to speak with the …


Controversial media person dies - RIP Theo van Gogh

Theo van Gogh is dead [dutch link]. He was quite controversial with his bold positions, but I liked the way he put things in a different daylight. He was stabbed to dead today by a [for now] unknown person. Another interesting person dies... edited at 2004-11-02 15:15 GeenStijl: Na …

Those American Elections

Let me put first that I don't really care who is going to win the elections tomorrow in the US of A, as long as it isn't Bush. I was watching this neat map now and then, just for the fun of it [although the amount of red is a …

I'm Amiga

OK, hadn't done that one yet, but I appear to be quite likeminded with the rest of Planet Morphix: Which OS are You? Is it just me and the litre of beer I just consumed in the University pub or are those questions hilarious?

Im .ogg

As seen at Vermyndax's Lair: Which File Extension are You? That's me. Now you take the time to find out what file extension you are.

And behold: a forum

I actually did something today besides crawling too many news sites and web logs: I helped someone with Computer Networks assignment [again], and set up a forum. Yeah people, that's right: aquariusoft.org has a forum! Now you can dump you annoyances about aquamorph, GNU/Linux and windows in one …

Clean url's

I'm starting to sound as a fulltime web developer/designer right now, but while I was playing with Apache's mod_rewrite to get cleaner url's, I came along Why link to index.php?, which - besides being a nicely designed blue weblog - has some points in favor of this. I'm planning …

And an exam again

There we go again; another midterm. I hope I don't feel like her this time. At least Distributed Systems is a cool subject. Not very trivial however. Ok, now stop configuring this pc and go studying stupid.

More weblog enhancements

And it keeps on coming. Fixed some IE stupidities [archive was b0rked, navigation buttons wheren't shown properly]; when does that browser learn CSS? Added admin functionality: delete comment [moderating is fun ;) ], edit posting. Fixed some minor bugs when I was at it too.

Dead tree newspapers - the Kut Krant

Alex has made a good point in his Silly dead-tree media corp posting; lots of dead trees are spent at that incredibly low-level newspaper, the Kut Krant. I dunno, but I always have reservations against people reading that paper seriously, it's just so full of crap [exaggerating almost everything and …

Another update: email notifications

Just hacked^Wimplemented e-mail notifications into the comment functionality. Check the box to receive an update when someone else comments too. Please provide a valid e-mail address ;) Now I'm really off to my appointment :D

Fresh fresh

I don't know why I repeat the word "Fresh" in the title, but I revamped the looks of this weblog. With a white background for the main body and better navigation [try Alt+] it sure looks refreshed. In my opinion. Well, please give feedback for the likes and non-likes …

Updating my weblog

I mentioned earlier that I was thinking about merging the software of this weblog into aqute, but I'm currently updating and extending it seperately. I don't have that much time currently and probably won't have it in the upcoming months either, so I'll just implement some features I want badly …
