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 …

Check the System Administrator Appreciation Day site, and go to the nearest server room/basement/closet-with-pale-guy-at-a-noisy-computer and show them you appreciate it they don't ruin your day by disconnecting everyone from the network except them and their buddies to play their favourite game without lag. Well, at least they didn't …

:) [More about HTML5 and the why]

I'm using Icedove 2.0 for a while now [the Debian GNU/Linux version of Mozilla Thunderbird], and as I'm using the excellent Tango icons for everything on my system, I also had a Tango theme for my mail program. However, it was a tad buggy, so I went out …

After reading Bloempje's posting about her restlessness, I was inspired to write about my own. I'm currently working on some assignments in Minix 3, and trying to get my bachelor thesis in shape. Also, I'm advancing with talks about an internship for my Masters research project. The company I'm talking …

Couldn't have said it better ;)

From today on Boing Boing: Happy fair use day! Go quote something! Fair use is the smallest part of the public's side of copyright. Sure, we have the right to quote, time-shift, format-shift, transform and so on. But the big piece is all the stuff that copyright shouldn't/doesn't touch …

I have a craving. A television channel here in the Netherlands aired the first season of the new Dr. Who episodes a good two years back, but I've not seen any new ones after that. As my girlfriend prefers not having to concentrate on English after a day hard work …

People turning on their music at 7:20AM [when you finally have a slower day] should die. If they do so at 3:30AM, they should die horribly... Fun, having neighbours above you...

This week, a "Do Not Disturb" sign was hang on every door knob in our street. It was an advertisement for anti-burglary protection. However, this campaign could have very well a negative impact, as for example, a house across our street had it hanging there for two days straight - meaning …

The other day, I was sitting in a metro racing in the general direction of my university. The girl sitting opposite me was chewing bubble gum. In itself, that's far from special, but do people realise they really don't look intelligent when chewing that material loudly with an open mouth …

My congratulations to both alextreme and my very dear girlfriend for reaching .25 century!

I've not been posting much lately, but I've been quite busy. No real excuse, I know, but it's the best I have ;) I'm still preparing a largish post on our recent move to a newer, bigger, better home. I need to fix some images for it, and wrap it all …

*sigh* I just deleted several hundreds of spam accounts, and dozens of spam topics on the aquariusoft.org forum. Tightened the authentication a bit too. Let's hope it'll be ok this way :) Spam sucks; I get an average of 80 spam emails per day, which are filtered conveniently in my …

I had the strangest dream last night. I dreamt that the world became a bit better, and a bit more fun to live in; that gave me a fuzzy feeling of course, but when I tried communicating with people on my computer, all messages where "09 F9 11 02 9D …

I was lucky. Wiiiiiiiiiiii! :P

Today, I read a posting on the Gaim weblog that's big news in the project's history. It basically means Gaim doesn't exist anymore. But don't grieve, they've renamed it to Pidgin. This all because of legal struggles with the nice company known as AOL. They also renamed their libgaim to …
