If you recently received a letter in support of the Iraq war, urging you to pass it along to your local paper, have a look at Teresa Nielsen Hayden’s online, interactive, participatory shredding of it before you do. Now those letters are kinda scary. What kind of people are …

I just came along an old Boingboing posting about the authors daughter being on the CAPPS list as a security risk. Just how stupid/scary can a Department of Homeland Security “war” become?

And finally I’m doing something different at work. I’m coding in Delphi again [it seems that a long time ago I was actually rented as Delphi programmer, but I’ve done almost every modern programming language since :) ]. HTTP uploading/downloading of large files. Kinda interesting and refreshingly different …

Alextreme has a nice post about the cause of viruses at his blog. He mades some points I’m making too for some time now [maybe I should write those irritations/thinkerings down here before alextreme beats me again]. The monoculture of windows [and the non-security by default settings] is …

BTW, I’ve put up a little screenie of me browsing my own blog at my own user at the gnome install. I created my own user so I can mess around with Gnome without getting my dad angry [he likes the default Morphix theme]. So linux is running quite …

I’m typing this on my dad’s pc. I’ve just finished the tweaking of his brand new Morphix Gnome install :) I must admit, Gnome 2.4 is really nice to work with [for your interest, I’m working with XFce4 for 9 months or something now and like …

And here I am again, at my work. Outside the sun stopped shining. Well, not exactly, luckily, but it’s hidden by clouds now. At my desk are the usual computer things and two little boxes with a the better part of 250 business cards with my name on it …

And the Sun shines. Yesterday it was the first sunny day in weeks [I’m not quite exaggerating], and it keeps on shining until Sunday, the weather forecasters say. Then it’s going to rain or snow. Yeah, whatever. If it’s going to change so dramatically, then let it …

By the way, did I mention I ordered the Sony Ericsson Z200 I mentioned earlier on? Well, I did last Friday, but I got an e-mail last Tuesday stating the model wasn’t in stock, so it was delayed a few days. Is it because I want a rare model …

When you keep a rantbox, you should rant from time to time. So here I am again ;) . However, I’ll switch to blog-mode, because my life isn’t that annoying at the moment. Bummer. First I would like to put my most used program in the spotlights: Mozilla Firefox. This …

Take an interesting concept, Valentine’s day. Make it as commercially as it is today. Then throw in those very interesting creatures called women. Result: a dilemma. Why? Because “you should not only give me attention at this day alone” etc. [and that’s a very good point]. But if …

Well, I’m totally pissed of by the e-mail I got a few days back from the supervisor of the Computer Networks assignment. We worked 2 times 5 months 3 days in the week on it, and all we got was a lousy e-mail stating something like “sorry, you didn …

… you can see things far more brilliant. This thought occurred to me while walking back home after parking our car in the garage, looking up to a windy but clear sky. I spended this afternoon with my girlfriend, continuing a nice weekend that started Friday after my last classes. Friday …

Heheheheh, now my skin is screaming. Shouldn’t have taken a shower _that_ hot =) Now where is my Gorillaz cd…

I’m in a Rammstein mood at the moment. Freaking weather [had to ride my bike through an almost freezing, but in any way very wet storm…], and that freaking University. To many courses to follow, however it should be doable. It’s just that I’m feeling overwhelmed. So …

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrggghhhhhhh Stupid University thingee, stupid weather, stupid life. That was all I wanted to say for now. Thank you.

It’s the time of the year again. I’m in love with several gadgets :) First, there is this TV card I’m going to buy anyway [because it’s a kind of birthday present]. And now there’s a little cellphone I’ve a crush on. Oh, and there …

Well, this certainly is a busy week. Been studying all day at Monday, working at Tuesday, hardcore TCP and HTTP progging at Minix at Wednesday. Then got quite drunk at a party of the Biology department. This morning I woke up without a hangover, but not quite awake [a little …

Whee! Finished coding the httpc and httpd yesterday. Some extensive testing of the daemon has been done already, but I should make it a little more solid. You can let it hang by sending just the request “blah” to it, without linefeeds ;) Anyway, when finally using your TCP implementation, all …

Coffee: the liquid to rule them all. Besides beer. Oh, and Wodka and Red Bull [both pure, thank you]. But coffee is a nice way to kinda wake up. Without it, my world would be a bigger mess then it already is. Speaking ‘bout messes: I sincerely hope not, but …
