Me and my stupid gadgets. I got my latest one today^Wyesterday; the Sony Ericsson Z200 I mentioned earlier on. It took a while [maybe because it is that kind of rare I like about it], but this morning it arrived. Weeeh :) Anyways, it's cute =) Can a cellphone be cute …

OK, here I am trying to get a 56k internet link to keep working more then 30 secs... Great fun. Ah well, at least great food and wine =)

OK, the party was nice. Very nice :) I kept on crashing into the snow [kinda hurts, but it was big fun], and at last I was sort of navigating myself downhill. The lessons where junk, but I guess that was because our group was way to large. The free hour …

My near future that is: at 3PM I am going to Snowworld with my colleagues and my girlfriend is coming along too. Most of us are going to take lessons [snowboarding is not one of our basic skills :)], and then we are unleashed on the indoor piste. It will be …

And there it is: shiny and new, well not that new, but it's enhanced. With even more caffeine and stuff. Oh, and free bargain fonts for your OS [not on this site =)]. At least it has a free RSS feed for your free windows feedreader or *nix counterpart [or your …

*Warcraft III flashback*. Well, I've finished my Databases I assignment for tomorrow^Wtoday. Furthermore, I'm busy adding whole lots of new functionality to this blog [nice enhancements to various navigation things], a soon-to-be-here(tm) RSS feed and such. On a whole other note: it was a very nice day today …

If you recently received a letter in support of the Iraq war, urging you to pass it along to your local paper, have a look at Teresa Nielsen Hayden's online, interactive, participatory shredding of it before you do. Now those letters are kinda scary. What kind of people are behind …

I just came along an old Boingboing posting about the authors daughter being on the CAPPS list as a security risk. Just how stupid/scary can a Department of Homeland Security "war" become?

And finally I'm doing something different at work. I'm coding in Delphi again [it seems that a long time ago I was actually rented as Delphi programmer, but I've done almost every modern programming language since :) ]. HTTP uploading/downloading of large files. Kinda interesting and refreshingly different from thinkering with …

Alextreme has a nice post about the cause of viruses at his blog. He mades some points I'm making too for some time now [maybe I should write those irritations/thinkerings down here before alextreme beats me again]. The monoculture of windows [and the non-security by default settings] is a …

BTW, I've put up a little screenie of me browsing my own blog at my own user at the gnome install. I created my own user so I can mess around with Gnome without getting my dad angry [he likes the default Morphix theme]. So linux is running quite fine …

I'm typing this on my dad's pc. I've just finished the tweaking of his brand new Morphix Gnome install :) I must admit, Gnome 2.4 is really nice to work with [for your interest, I'm working with XFce4 for 9 months or something now and like the simplicity of it …

And here I am again, at my work. Outside the sun stopped shining. Well, not exactly, luckily, but it's hidden by clouds now. At my desk are the usual computer things and two little boxes with a the better part of 250 business cards with my name on it. And …

And the Sun shines. Yesterday it was the first sunny day in weeks [I'm not quite exaggerating], and it keeps on shining until Sunday, the weather forecasters say. Then it's going to rain or snow. Yeah, whatever. If it's going to change so dramatically, then let it snow for some …

By the way, did I mention I ordered the Sony Ericsson Z200 I mentioned earlier on? Well, I did last Friday, but I got an e-mail last Tuesday stating the model wasn't in stock, so it was delayed a few days. Is it because I want a rare model [I …

When you keep a rantbox, you should rant from time to time. So here I am again ;) . However, I'll switch to blog-mode, because my life isn't that annoying at the moment. Bummer. First I would like to put my most used program in the spotlights: Mozilla Firefox. This is the …

Take an interesting concept, Valentine's day. Make it as commercially as it is today. Then throw in those very interesting creatures called women. Result: a dilemma. Why? Because "you should not only give me attention at this day alone" etc. [and that's a very good point]. But if you don't …

Well, I'm totally pissed of by the e-mail I got a few days back from the supervisor of the Computer Networks assignment. We worked 2 times 5 months 3 days in the week on it, and all we got was a lousy e-mail stating something like "sorry, you didn't make …

... you can see things far more brilliant. This thought occurred to me while walking back home after parking our car in the garage, looking up to a windy but clear sky. I spended this afternoon with my girlfriend, continuing a nice weekend that started Friday after my last classes. Friday …

Heheheheh, now my skin is screaming. Shouldn't have taken a shower _that_ hot =) Now where is my Gorillaz cd...
