OK, so this is my so-called vacation. Lets see... Tomorrow I'll work, in the evening I'll [hopefully] enjoy The War of the Worlds, on Tuesday I'm getting my hair done [badly needed ;)], am I going to do some administrational stuff and then we're going to visit my GFs grandparents. Wednesday …

OK, hereby I declare the coming months my Time To Focus Time(tm). I need to get back to being efficient, cleaning up my todo list [growing bigger and bigger], and make myself useful/valuable again. I'm aware I still haven't posted my story of the last vacation, which is …

It was a short one, and generally a bit too wet one [way does it always rain on me?], but altogether quite relaxing. Catching up on me e-mail and newsfeeds now. Didn't have an internet connection somehow, so I plugged the ADSL modem right in my laptop and now it …

I've been rather quiet for some time now, due to the warm weather, a lack of interest [my feedreader is becoming rather full of unread items] and a need of a break. That break is coming now: we're leaving on vacation in another hour. Just me, my beautiful GF and …

OK folks, check this Google maps page. Look close. Look closer. Now laugh hysterically or cry. Fortunately this bug can be fixed by zooming in. Zooming out will make us only less important...

Yeah, there it is again. My current major webproject ;) Anyway, I have modified the stylesheet for the html version quite a bit, so items should be better distinguishable, especially when having more than a few on page [which you'll mostly have I guess]. I'm about to do some major updates …

A quicky: login to your account and go to this uri: https://gmail.google.com/gmail?view=page&name=contacts. Write a quick script to do with it whatever you want ;)

OK, I managed to modify my kernel configuration without updating LILO [by forgetting to do a simple 'lilo' at the root prompt]. Result? An unbootable GNU/Linux installation. Go me. Thank Light I have always a copy of the aquamorph livecd laying around, so I went trying to update the …

It's not yet done [when is a software project done anyways?], not even in 0.1 state as can be seen on the roadmap, but here it is, a tarball with the snapshot of today, and a dump of the database tables needed for it. My previous posting has a …

OK, just put a new snapshot of this interesting project online. You may wonder why I call my own project "interesting", but it has earned this title because of the latest addition to it: related items. I've introduced a simple algorithm that looks for other items that have links in …

So it turns out I'm Wesley Crusher: A brilliant learner with a knack for almost everything, you choose to spend your efforts in the pursuit of travels that extend your own potential. Maybe I am sick of following rules and regulations! Wesley is a character in the Star Trek universe …

I've been working on the overload RSS reader a bit the last few days, and put a brandnew snapshot online. It's a great deal faster [calculating of the number of unread items was a tad slow, taking 6 seconds for my 69 feeds and 17000 items total and 5000 unread …

Well, their Korean website at least was hacked, after which all login/password info was logged. If you thought that Microsoft needed a lesson in the difficulty they face getting everyone to patch their operating systems every time a new security hole is announced, they may have just received one …

Chatting on #morphix with the good ol' Morphix crew, we came along the subject of backing up your cruft [ahum]. Anyway, as I'm lazy and have been running scripts to do so for quite some time already, I thought it nice to share those with the world. I've put two …

I had a list of reasons, but alextreme yesterday beat me to it. I'm far from against a united Europe, but I'm not happy with the way things are going now [kinda forced, having a constitution proposed that really isn't one]. Oh, and I'm not against our currency, the Euro …

My head is acting weird. I have some projects laying around, but I just can't concentrate enough on them. Now and then I come in the Zone and finish a piece, but mostly not. Can't concentrate that hard on studying. I need something to stimulate my mind... Maybe I should …

The Biggest Time Sink Thread Ever describes some of my days. Too true... Ooh, BTW, did you read this article of someone that is _not_ quite satisfied with his mac laptop? Refreshing to read another perspective. I myself stick with my i686 GNU/Linux laptop...

I just checked a log file from my mail server and noticed quite a bunch of deliveries. Turned out one address on my domain was being spammed with over 13 thousand identical spam messages. In a couple of hours. Resulting in: -rw-rw---- 1 [username] mail 108385920 May 29 13:18 …

Did some studying today for an exam I have in about a day now. It's quite boring, but I need to focus as I want to get it's freaking grade... Anyhow, I've been hacking a bit at overload too. I've updated the overload project page with a roadmap [heheh, feeling …

We are just back from Utrecht where my girlfriend got her 'doctoraal diploma' -- say her Master. So that's Drs. GF for me now :)
