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 …

It's now Thursday evening. Finally, that paper is done. Typed frantically yesterday to get a nice piece which was of submit quality, and I must say, it's quite nice. I'll post it later this week, because the subject [Digital Rights Management and Fair Use by design, and freedom of content …

What is it about me and writing papers? Well, papers about subjects I don't really, _really_ care about? I just don't get them done. Well, this one doesn't have to be lengthy, so I'm going to act tomorrow like it has to be submitted that evening. Guess I'll be finished …

I keep on posting today :) I came alongNerd Attention Deficiency Disorder [short: NADD], which, erm, fits me fairly well. I don't know if that's good or bad, but it enables me to sift through huge amounts of information in a short time. A follow-up story, In Defense of N …

Alextreme's fun with referrers and porno links. I guess they found his hidden pr0n site ;) I'm currently [well sometimes, when I'm in the mood] implementing a log digging script, so I can marvel at the useless information my logs remember for me, so I guess there are a few pearls …

Went to TINE yesterday. It was a little bit boring, except for some of the smaller stands and the [somewhat forced] discussion about Open Source and Linux in commercial use and with the government. We came along the stand of Amaze, a small company building a CMS in Python. Maybe …

While sleeping in Breedster, I got raped by a girl - Pink Babe. Talking about a weird game :) Date: Tue, 20 Apr 2004 23:39:42 +0200 (CEST) From: Breedster To: aquatix Subject: Breedster - Pink Babe -PinkFam- has mated you Hi aquatix, Pink Babe -PinkFam- has mated you. 2 …

It was a lovely day today. First of all: the sun shined while it wasn't quite supposed to. Second, I'm currently copying 3 albums to a 256MB memorystick I bought earlier today so I can listen to them from my pda. I got a fresh haircut [boy that was needed …

While it's not that bad as this girl describes, my grades aren't great either. I'm doing some classes now that just aren't interesting, but I want them finished before I go on and do the far more interesting Master courses. Maybe I should have a change of scenery too [move …

When will ISPs finally realize that the replies with "you've send an e-mail that contains a virus to one of our addresses" [in this case Netsky.Q] are futile? Those viruses contain made up From: addresses, so you don't even know who send it at all. I don't want …
