As I'm upgrading my pc from a 750MHz AMD Duron with 448MiB of RAM to 2x AMD Athlon MP2000+ with 4GiB of memory, I kinda need a new computer casing. After getting a nice little cardreader in a stand, which is colored black/silver, and having a black/silver laptop …

As some may have noticed, the aquariusoft.org site has been overhauled in the last weeks. It's now based on the Qik site framework I wrote from scratch. Today, I released a first snapshot to the public. There's a small HOWTO included, but the project page itself already contains a …

And that was my 24th year of making my way on this wicked piece of molten lava floating through vacuum. Of course the only "space" I'm really confident with is cyberspace, but that's where we have starship Earth for. On to the quarter of a century!

For those following and/or using the overload feedreader: the reader has enclosure support now! Enclosures are references to files in the feed itself. Mostly used by "podcasts" etc, so you can download the audio file straight from the reader. Also, the Rocketboom videolog uses it [right click, download .mov …

Yesterday I created a website for my girlfriends group of students pharmaceutical sciences, which they gladly put online. Now she's learning HTML and even CSS fast and building her very own new pages. You can say I'm a bit proud :) Gotta love how you can whip up a nice website …

Puff-n-Stuff aka SithAdmin in #morphix at freenode.net told me he had a dual athlon mp2000+ motherboard with dualhead matrox g550 video card, power supply and 4GiB ram for a nice price. I was interested from the point he named the price and the shipping fee :) Also, instead of the …

I've been playing with site aquariusoft.org site the last few days, and you may have noticed quite a few changes coming and going. Currently I'm quite pleased with how things are looking [having a more experienced graphical designer taking a look at it and swallowing his critics helped too …

Why do girls insist on wearing their tight jeans *inside* their high boots? It looks dumb. And yeah, those fluffy dangling balls look even dumber.

I'm currently working in my Very Own(tm) cellar at work. Only occassionally someone comes by, mostly to fetch something from our huge color printer. I'm still not sure whether I don't like this or whether to be OK with it. It's quite interesting to have your own bunker at …

OK, so everything went quite smoothly :) My new home server is serving up the files on *.aquariusoft.org now, and it feels fast! [Should be, as the little box does have quite a lot more horsepower than the previous one]. If you find something unusual, please contact me. The gallery …

OK, I just changed the DNS entry for "aquariusoft.org" to point to my new server, hosted at our place. The old one still stands in a corner of my parents' place, and they grow a bit tired of it. dammIT may be offline for a little while, as it …

Yep, you read that right, I'm working on my aquamorph livecd again. The hardest part is configuring the Xfce4 environment to my likings [especially filling the panel with stuff], and rewriting the manual. Configuration nears its end, and I hope to have the manual written at the end of the …

As I've been using a PalmOS based pda for quite some years now, I've assembled a standard set of programs I use and like. I thought I should put them down for others to share. So, let's get started: AcidSolitaire: not free, but nice solitair game Agendus: also not free …

It's freezing outside, dark too, and it's about 2:30AM on my computer clock. I start to wonder what I'm doing here. I guess I should just get some rest and start counting some electric sheep [really, really neat fractal based screensaver; let it run a while, and you're hooked …

While celebrating christmas time in the high north of our small country, I took a hundred-ish pictures. Not only from us sitting around, but also from the scenery, from which I've put online some nice ones at this small album. If you like one, you can always ask me to …

No, those aren't wedding rings, but we *are* officially engaged :) Don't worry: we will marry when the time is there, and it simply isn't yet [being student and such]. You'll certainly notice when we take that next step :)

Today my girlfriend and I are together for 7.5 years. That's quite a long time, concerning my 24th birthday is at the end of this month. So that deserves a celebration. More about that later! [Including an interesting picture...] I love you sweety!

I'm spending the last hours of 2005 at the place of my GFs mother, where everyone is gathering to eat some of the home-made "oliebollen" [you know, those fried weat balls with raisins and such ;)]. 2005 was another year that rushed by. Lots of things I wanted to do only …

This is the subject of one of the spam messages I got today. Kinda links that software maker and incompetency rather nicely together, doesn't it? ;) As a sidenote, it's interesting the spammer used a normal mail program to send this crap, The Bat. [You see quite a wildly varying spectrum …
