It's obvious I developed a crush on the Nokia N810, and I will definitely get one the moment it shows up in e-shops here in the Netherlands in a few weeks [I heard somewhere it'll appear in a week or two]; I'm already saving up and may just put a …

I wonder when someone [finally?] slaps a Don't Panic logo on Wikipedia.

There, got that out of my System.

Nokia announced the N810 tablet [successor to the N800]. I so totally want it :) It has all the good stuff from the previous version [800x480 screen, wifi, etc], but also has a nice slide-out keyboard, 2GiB of internal storage, a Mozilla browser, Gizmo and Skype voip clients and lots of …

A panda walks into a café. He orders a sandwich, eats it, then draws a gun and proceeds to fire it at the other patrons. "Why?" asks the confused, surviving waiter amidst the carnage, as the panda makes towards the exit. The panda produces a badly punctuated wildlife manual and …

I'm a bit pissed. When I thought I was done with all my courses, I started adding things up and now I'm missing out on some ECTS points [the credit points you get by successfully passing a course], because the conversion between the old and the new ways of assigning …

Somewhere along our stroll through the seasons we lost a summer.

I'm sad to hear fantasy writer Robert Jordan passed away yesterday at the age of 58, from complications from primary amyloidosis with cardiomyopathy (cardiac amyloidosis). He was the author of the The Wheel of Time series, which I greatly enjoyed reading. My condolences to his family and friends. Let's hope …

I've had a Last.fm account for quite a while now, and I've discovered quite some artists through that wonderful service. Recently, I installed mpdscribble, an audio scrobbler plugin for mpd. You can see what music I'm listening too at my account page at Last.fm.

When reading On Lackadaisical Development over at Tam's Palm, I stumbled a bit on the phrase "There is a distinct lack of commitment and dedication in comparison to closed source and commercial applications." in the first paragraph. This is only true if the author is short on time, and thinks …

So Palm killed their Foleo before it was even launched. Too bad, as I thought it was a nice little laptop. [Also, check Engadgets plea to Palm and Palm's response, which likely caused the Foleo to be scrapped] I'm not entirely sure how stupid the Foleo was; they marketed it …

Doonesbury had a nice comic on the United States' national debt of $9 trillion [sic!]:

Be sure to get your vote counted at the 2007 Desktop Linux Survey. I was voter 30492, so it's getting somewhere already :) I like how over 30% of the users don't even care about running windows apps on their machines.

I just reached the 15000 spam messages for this year in my spam folder. That's about 15007/211 = 71.12 messages a day. Fun, fun. Thanks the Light for SpamAssassin. In other news, I just installed the GetLive script in replacement for the trusty old gotmail script to retrieve messages …

I got the Funambol SyncML server working with my SonyEricsson M600i smartphone this evening. This software [formerly known as sync4j] enables you to synchronise all kinds of [mobile] devices and PIM software with SyncML. Like my M600i and Evolution [however, I didn't get the SyncEvolution synchroniser working with Evolution 2 …
