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 …

I'm subscribed to Bugtraq and one of the emails on the list today was this one: Date: Fri, 25 Jun 2004 18:53:04 -0000 From: [protected] To: bugtraq_no@securityfocus_valid_email.com Subject: Microsoft and Security Where is Microsoft now "protecting their customers" as they love to bray? Should not someone …

It seems to be summer, but it's raining quite heavily and it's storming like it's November. Ah well, I'll just try to enjoy it on my way home. If the trams and trains are functioning that is...

So I finally got through to my account. Still sounds nice, 1000MB [hm, that's no GB :) ], but hey, my server has a bigger HDD :P Still, this is one of the cooler gadgets I got lately. Thanks again Manuzhai!

BTW, I just found out dammIT went 6 months old last Sunday :) It's first real entry is written at 2003-12-20, while it came online at 2003-12-21. So whatever way you look at it, it's officially half a year old now. A friend of mine, which happenes to have a website …

While trying to find an old link I put in my blogmarks repository, I found out to my astonishment I didn't even have navigation for that section. So when I had some time today [exam was over quite fast - haven't decided if that's a Good Thing(tm)] I fixed that …

So I finally made a fitting logo for dammIT. XCalibur is my server, and I thought it was a nice enough picture, but what the hell did it have to do with my blog? So I fired up the Gimp and fiddled around with layers, fonts and drop shadows; low …

So it seems to be summer now. Not that I think this drizzly weather is worth that stamp, but at least it's official. So, weather gods: where is our summer??? Thanks to Manuzhai, who had some invitations to give away, I now have a GMail account to play with! Thanks …

Well look at me. Now I'm completely happy being online with a laptop without any wires or other plug-in thingees [like a wifi card]. It's running from it's battery and using one of the [heavily secured] wifi spots at the VU with it's build-in wifi mini-pc-card-thingee. Too bad I have …
