Cascading Style Sheets can be a pain :)

And suddenly, it was 2008. A leap year, nicely round numbers (at least for a geek like me, I guess), a year in which I'll finally finish my higher education. Also finally, I'm under contract again, getting some dough to pay bills, food and gadgets from. Feels quite good, I …

But I think it'll have to wait a few more hours: Everyone a pre-emptive Healthy, Joyful, Fortunate, Decent and most of all Just Plain Fun 2008!

Last Friday evening we could be found in the Ahoy in Rotterdam. There, a musical fusion of classical music and legendary pop songs took place. It was really interesting to be able to enjoy artists like Macy Gray, Donna Summer, Kid Creole and The Coconuts, Di-Rect, John Miles and Roby …

So, just over a week ago, I received my Canon EOS 400D with nice EFS 17-85mm lense [and a nice flash of course]. I've been shooting random stuff with it since then, and really like the camera. I also really like the sound the mirror makes when you take a …

I was finally allowed by the accountancy department [hi sweetie!] to buy some hard drive space, which I did, resulting in a major increase of 500GiB in the storage pool :) Finally room to sort out my cruft, backup our machines, and make space for autobuilding aquamorph .iso's again!

Today the new pharmacy of my girlfriend opens. It's all a bit thight on schedule, as they didn't have enough time to test handing out orders with their computer system and the robot enough, and not all of their orders where in on time. So, let's hope everything smoothes out …
