Downs and ups

Whee! Finished coding the httpc and httpd yesterday. Some extensive testing of the daemon has been done already, but I should make it a little more solid. You can let it hang by sending just the request "blah" to it, without linefeeds ;) Anyway, when finally using your TCP implementation, all …

Coffee

Coffee: the liquid to rule them all. Besides beer. Oh, and Wodka and Red Bull [both pure, thank you]. But coffee is a nice way to kinda wake up. Without it, my world would be a bigger mess then it already is. Speaking 'bout messes: I sincerely hope not, but …

Damn projects :)

Well, after finishing computer graphics it's now hurrying to get Computer Networks ready for the end of January [end before the last normal test at next Tuesday]... If that's not enough, I've got an exam at Monday the 19th. Yeah, that's next Monday. Gotta study real quick now... On another …

aMaze - Take two :)

There it is. A nice binary windows distribution :). "Why? That's evil! Binary only!". Er, yeah, but I don't want to release my sourcecode until it's readable without getting a heart attack ;) Besides, I want to wait until the gradings are known so noone can "borrow" some code from me. And …

aMaze - The project

Well, anybody interested in screenies of aMaze, my project for Computer Graphics, should check out this screenies page. Now that's the nicest C program I made thus far :) Yeah, they're kinda large, and my upstream is only 320 kbit/s, so please have some patience ;)

Weeee!

Well, I did it :) Finished the computergraphics project yesterday at about 8:30PM. It's working like it should [kinda] and it looks great! Screenshots will be up when I've had time to make them [like, tomorrow], and a windows [compiled] version will be available for download when I've compiled it …

Stress

Well, after working yesterday and only tinkering somewhat with the project on Monday, I'm starting to get really pissed at myself ;). Today I'm working harder and it's finally going somewhere. Promise I'll post a screenie when it's finished [and it doesn't turn out too lame :)]. Gotta work...

Work to do

Well, duties are calling. I have to finish a project for Computer Graphics before next Friday [I've quite some nice ideas, but they have to crystalize into usable code yet...]. Tomorrow there's my regular job too, so that's another day I can't work at the project. Ah well, I should …

Reflections

And another year has passed. A year in which I turned the nice age of 21, in which we had to buy a new car because I trashed the previous one on a otherwise very beautiful holidays in Italy at the Garda Lake. Me and my lovely girl where together …

Tired

Ok, this is not another rant about those stupid trains [yeah, had to wait 25 minutes at the freezing station of Amsterdam Sloterdijk]. Not about the things I did at my work [besides sleeping ;)]. Yeah, lets talk about sleeping. Or, better, lets practice it! Cya!

Christmas is over. And stuff.

Well, that was one cozy, food-overloaded Christmas :). 2nd xmas day was with my girlfriend at her place. Again lots of nice things to eat and nice people to chat with [in real life that is :P]. Saturday was a day to do nothing. Well, to sleep late, watch a recorded …

1st xmas day

Well, had a nice day today with grandparents from both sides, my girlfriend, sister and my parents. Very cosy, loads of food. Good day :) Just round up some tweaks to the css [less whitespace, more room for rants :)] and finished the archive functionality. Simplified the navigation [again], because this is …

Merry Christmas!

Just wanted to say to all of you: Merry Christmas! If you ain't a Christian [kinda like me], just enjoy these hopefully happy days!

Stunned

Well, just saw Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. And I'm dumbstruck. Damn what a fine movie! Didn't follow the book at every point, but that's only for the good. It was a long sit [bladder acked from the cola ;)], but it was 3,5h pure excitement …

Cube

Almost bought a Gamecube with Mariocart: Double dash, four Zelda classics etc. Only 144 euros. But I need a 2nd controller to play Mariocart nicely [33 euro] and a memorycard [16MB: 29 euro], for being able to save games at all. Quick sum is 196 euros. Maybe another time ;)


Finally some normal xmas music

Until I fix my blogmarks section I've to post nice links here. Here it goes: Christmas music from various 8bit video games, 8 people made 8 different songs on 8 different 8 bit computers [yeah, golden oldies :)]. Now *that's* nice Christmas music. Eat that Mariah Currysoup :P

Signing out

Well, I've said and done enough for today. Just cleaned up the code of this blog and am going to get some rest before working tomorrow. But not only working: /me is going to experience LOTR:TROTK [or in normal English: Lord of the Rings: The Return of The King …

Whoohoo, DB working!

I copied the last five postings to the DB by using my little input tool, modified the dates so they where the right ones again, and it all looked fine :). So, now I'm posting via the input tool I made for this fine rantbox! Life is kinda sweet after all …

Weird

Weird day today. First, the sun suddenly started shining. Then I found out I most likely threw away the letter with the receipt for getting my OV card [card needed to travel with the train, metro etc for "free"]. Think I was a little to rigorous while cleaning up my …
