I could do a plug about Microsoft bringing up the bad side in people, but this story is just tragic...

What is it with computer "geeks" like me and doing computer stuff for hours and hours and then some? I have to be reminded sometimes to get something to drink or even get breakfast. I've more than once had breakfast at 3PM while being awake since 11AM or even earlier …

I'm currently playing with GPG tools [like enigmail for mozilla-thunderbird - just do an "apt-get install mozilla-thunderbird-enigmail"!] and gpg frontend [seahorse] to finally get a GPG key of my own. What is a software developing geek in this world without GPG key? ;)

Giving myself a hug now. Ow, and the sysadmins of my university and Alex from Morphix.org of course ;)

Interesting piece about the throw-away-thinking of the current software. Where paper is readable as far as over a thousand years, current electronical documents tend to be unreadable after as much as 20 or 25 years [think Word Perfect and older word processors]. Of course there are filters for the most …

Just discovered cowsay thanks to Vermyndax on #morphix at irc.freenode.org . Together with fortunes you get gems like: _________________________________ --------------------------------- \ ^__^ \ (**)\_______ (__)\ )\/\ U ||----w | || || And [shut your eyes if you find this offensive]: _________________________________________ / The only way to get rid of a temptation \ | is to …

Ow, did I mention it's online? ;) Comments and fan remarks go to: the forumthread at the morphix site or to aquamorph at aquariusoft dot org. Site is here.

I baked some testing versions today, spawning this result. Not that it's earth shattering or an even remotely interesting screenie, but it's the new aquamorph coming to fruition. I just finished a little help document and an update of the installed packages [ooh, some last-minute update of xfce4!], and am …

Oh, and if anybody is bored, please take a look at my blogmarks page if you didn't already know it. I tend to post funny or sometimes even interesting stuff there.

No, I'm not dead. I'm just quite busy with some projects, my work and that evil thing called Real Life ;) Also, I decided to try to post some more meaningfull blog entries like I used to do [meaning of life, why public traffic sucks and about technomancers - preparing a post …

While they had some defunct wifi access points in the hotel [I'm glad they wheren't operational], I had a very nice week off with my girlfriend in a hotel in the woods of the piece of nature called the Veluwe. I couldn't resist taking my pda [with the story it …

So I'm back again from a week spend at a hotel with very nice surroundings. I'll be posting a kind of diary shortly, when I've edited out the private details ;)

I'm leaving tomorrow to some place in the middle of nowhere - as in some very nice hotel in the centre of the Netherlands with plenty of woods and moor to cycle through to forget the online life for a while. I can't take my laptop with me [my girlfriend won't …

I fiddled around a bit with bluetooth on my laptop, getting the network link working again for my bluetooth enabled Sony Clie TH55. I managed to get network synchronizing working too, so now I'm able to synchronize with my GNU/Linux installation completely wireless. Read here how to setup bluetooth …

Well, it seems about every oddity in this football competition thingee of the last few weeks has come reality: someone just told me Greece has won. Like I predicted :P Funny, because all major players where kicked quite early in the process and now the home playing party has been …

I borrow this word from Alextreme, because he cares as much about football as I do: not at all. Of course I think it's too bad we didn't make it as European Champion, but I won't slep less about it. I don't sleep that much anyway. It's even that bad …

Today my girlfriend and I are together for six years; that's more than a quarter of our lifes. That's kind of scary, but also a lot of fun :) Maybe someone in Amsterdam or surroundings knows an appartment or something which we can live in and still be able to …

Just did the exam of Knowledge Representation Systems, an AI course. Haven't answered that much of bullshit in ages. Great fun :) It was about fuzziness, probability and stuff, so I answered in fuzzy sentences and thought back about The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy [Probability Drive anyone?] This all sounded …

Hm, I don't know what to think of it, but obviously I'm: edited at 2004-06-29 21:50 Hm, because of the "all of the above" nature of some items I redid it slightly different and I'm now a Any way you look at it, I'm - erm - a hippie geek?

Just finished implementing the archive of this blog, tuning the mini navigation thingees and adding a third feed: a feed including the comments my one reader makes :). Was thinking about a way to let users of feed aggregators [like, all sane people] know that a comment was posted, when I …
