Was about to go sleep early yesterday, but I ended up trying to fix a Windows computer at my gf's place that refused to log anyone in. Recovered some files for her sister and brother so they can work on them on other pc's [yay aquamorph with ntfs read- and …

Pong. Just to say I'm still alive ;) Working 6 days a week is easier then I thought it would be. I get loads of stuff done. For my work that is. I hope I can sustain a comparable rhythm when this working spree is over, so I can get some …

After a week in which a mother killed her own three children to be able to keep them near her after her death [she killed herself by jumping in front of a train; she wanted some peace after a fight with her ex-husband lasting for years], someone stealing a baby …

Finally some day off yesterday and I manage to b0rk my workstation. Turned out to be a software issue, the first real issue I have with my GNU/Linux install. I updated my Debian sid install and rebooted, only to find my system in a crashed state some seconds later …

...how's that for a dinner? Tastes quite good actually :) Ah, I'm ready for an easy evening. Maybe I could hack somewhat at this site? BTW, Alex, nice days in Brazil! It's a little bit early, but at least now you're able to read this ;) Hope you will enjoy the trip …

Happy birthday to both my girlfriend and Alex! I owe you a beer Alex :) And I owe my girlfriend a lot more ;)

Ah, the joys of ID&T radio... They have hardstyle night on Wednesdays, and that's exactly what I was in need for :) Yeah, as you can guess, not everything went right today. I hadn't studied enough material to do something useful on the ITI exam, but the Operating Systems exam …

"Smile," God said, "things could be worse."So I did and they were.

A quick blurp in between some "serious" studying for three exams I have this week [one tomorrow, two on Wednesday]. Last weekend wasn't as productive as I hoped it was [computers sooo distract while reading slides from them and I'm sooo weak], so here I am trying to read as …

As Shirley Bassey song a long time ago, and Propellerheads mixed into some really nice new version, it's all just a case of history repeating. We've seen it all before. Look at the very odd behaviour of the Israeli's against the Palestinians: they are building a security wall, making a …

Reading the discussion about Linux between Andy Tanenbaum and Linus Torvalds while I should study Operating Systems [by the same AST] and enjoying the cool breeze through my open window, I can't help but liking my life. This sounds rather fluffy, but what's wrong with a life existing of thinkering …

So I'm facing a nice busy schedule for the next two months or something, which I'm hoping to survive by planning my days better [see the post by Jeremy C. Wright], getting myself in a rhythm again [I think the idea of Manuzhai to wake up at 9AM even if …

I'm going to have to work seriously about some rhythm in my day-to-day activities. Like sleeping. Sleeping is good, and if you have a good sleeping rhythm, life is good. Just look at my cat. He sleeps the whole day and gets free food and is allowed to play outside …

Some friend of mine - rest assured, I won't mention your name Hedda - told some nice stories about her Jane [search her blog for more info, for those with minds dirty enough ;)] instead of programming nicely at her Computer Networks Assignment with her practicum partner. Had lots of fun trying to …

I just updated the aquamorph page with new thoughts and some general information. I want to do some work on it again, because I like it's concept and the previous release is becoming - well - ancient. I think that if I find time to do some testing next week, I can …

[WeatherNotFoundException in:/system/environment/content/weatherState.java] Cannot retrieve mapping for action /showWeather' I guess my system just doesn't buy the current shizzle drizzle as weather. Stupid spring :) I can't disagree with Java's need to have some Sun ;) As I said in a comment to my previous posting, I'm trying …

Phew, well, the [almost] final version of the aquariusoft.org design is up. Finally. Still a lot of work has to be done to get a fully functional website [why do I always want to reinvent the wheel? Hmz, maybe because it's cool :)]. Anyways, the CMS is far from finished …

So here I am, sitting behind my desktop workstation as usual, hacking away at my aquariusoft.org website [I use a s3kr1t url for the prototype ;)], reading my daily overload of news and blogs and trying to figure out how I can do a 20 minute presentation of a 5 …

Heh, well I've got my share of computers anecdotes from the last few days. First of all, my server died. It turned out to be a bad motherboard [and maybe a too light power supply], but at first I thought the main HDD drive had died. That would have been …

I just booted XCalibur, my server, successfully. I replaced the motherboard [the other was b0rked, if I'm right], so now it has a nice Asus A7V8X-X heart. However, this has onboard LAN, so I left out the ethernet card. But then the Woody install didn't have LAN anymore. Turned out …
