I couldn't have said it better.

What does it tell me when I see a bump in the road and I want to whip up my controller so I get a speed boost? Especially when I remember I'm in my own car, not on a speedy Mach Bike... Also, it's great fun trying to win from …

Today in our coverage on the War on Logic: my home town. An important cross road is being revamped - which is good - but work on it has been going on for a while. Because it's the main connection to the highway it's always busy, especially during rush hour in the …

I got a shady proposal from the webmaster of a gambling site, suggesting a deal to increase pagerank for us both. I wonder how many people will actually agree to do this... From: "Chris R. Bershad " > To: Me Subject: Freelance Link Developer Date: Thu …

More photo's starting here.

OK, you can consider a day too hot when a visit to a nicely air conditioned hairdresser is preferred above sitting in your cave, slowly getting cooked.

It's the last Friday of July again. Did you thank your sysadmin for his or her tireless work behind the screens already?

Yesterday a thought struck me again, and I decided to finally dive into my collection of old harddisks. I even found the archive with old Outlook Express .dbx files. Yes, there was a time I used windows and even that crappy e-mail client that shipped with it, as Thunderbird didn't …

So my internet service provider Telfort [GreenISP] transferred our connection to their own network after taking over the brand/ISP Speedlinq, but then proceeds to send an e-mail about how to configure our modem the day after. That's much fun if you don't have a functional connection because their ADSL …

Hm, my hate of ISP's has got a slight boost today. I remotely work at my thesis in the vim editor on my home server through ssh, using subversion for version control etc. Currently, I'm at work. My ISP had planned to transfer our account to their new system …

Today I had to hand in my student public transportations card. Its handiness will be missed. [Did they have to cut out my head like that?]

Going to be an interesting movie I guess.

Kinda makes you wonder how the computers in 2104 look like, if you can see them as 'computers' at all.

I thought I'd update my Debian sid laptop and try to get wifi working again so I can browse/work on the couch with something bigger than my Nokia N810. I hadn't really touched it since halfway June, and didn't update since June 21. Result: apt-get dist-upgrade [..snip..] 423 upgraded …

A VW van from the 50's of last century, advertising to get Television. That's right, not a television, or a dozen like a modern day US home has, but the concept in general. Times when the whole neighbourhood poured into your living room when a popular program was on. Wonder …

Yesterday I ordered a Nerf Maverick from eBay along with some extra arrows. These toy guns shooting soft plastic arrows are quite cool and great for performing an office war [YouTube]. I wanted to keep my arsenal civilised, as otherwise I might have gone overboard and got myself a Nerf …

*Gulp* Ten years ago I was sixteen years old, an uncertain, geeky teenager. Right this moment we where on a school trip in Paris, that nice, big city in France you might have heard of. Earlier on a few girls of my class had tried to set up things, but …

Today I traded the head pillow I had on try-out for a regular, new one, after which we made the bed with shiny new linen and my new, very comfy pillow. Sleep is good :) After giving the community some time and updating my tablet a bit, the N810 with Diablo …
