A rantbox

A new domain

You might have noticed that this weblog has moved. It's still exactly the same rantbox as it has always been - hopefully with more regular updates than it has seen for quite a while - but now you can find it on its own domain: dammit.nl. Links to the old aquariusoft …


dammIT, MSc

It started last Monday morning when I read this mail from the guys supervising the practical course I had saved for last: Hi Michiel, Congrats, your solution just passed our tests without any problems, so you passed the practical! Not long thereafter, an email was received stating my grade had …

We are married!

We interrupt this broadcast for a public service announcement. Friday the 2nd of July 2010 at 13:00h CET, Michiel Scholten and Ineke Post got married at Castle Assumburg and became mr and mrs Scholten. Lots of pictures were taken, lots of fun was had. Pictures will follow. Thank you …

Fixed my weblog

Soooo, it appears there was some small programming error which broke sessions in my self-written weblog software. This kinda blocked me from posting here. Combined with a rather busy life and me twittering small blurps instead of writing larger posts this led to dammIT be really neglected. I plan on …

18 years old +10

So, 28. That's 9 years of pretending to be 18 and 10 years away from really being it. Oh well, at least I'm not 30 yet. Yet. Thanks for another year. This one will be awesome.

A very good 2010!

2009 was a weird year; on the one hand it was quite bland, on the other we did some real cool things, like going on a mind-blowing trip through southern Africa, jumping on the wedding train (the actual fact will take place this new year) and buying a house, amongst …

dammIT 6 years young, learns how to write

My weblog is now old enough to start learning how to write itself! Back in 2003 I started a weblog because I was curious to the phenomenon, how it would work out for myself (writing in English, dumping my thoughts online) and just to vent my frustrations with the day-to-day …

Happy birthday dammIT

Today is the day that I started dumping my thoughts online by means of a weblog five years ago, which means the first lustrum party of this kind of web presence of mine. Yes, there are two older posts, but they are both from before the actual first implementation of …


Three years of rants: dammIT

Today is the third anniversary of this good ol' rantbox of mine. Putting online my frustrations, thoughts, ideas and pieces of life still is fun, so expect more annoyances coming from my way to you in the future ;) BTW, if you visit this site, please do a refresh so you …

Cheers @ dammIT and Xfce 4.2

Did you know... ...dammIT--this weblog--has turned one year old today? Lots of things have changed in that year, a lot has stayed the same. Same shit, different day. ...Xfce 4.2 [RC2 and companions] is cool? I've just installed it on my trusty old AMD Duron 750MHz workstation and it's …

Happy birthday dear dammIT :P

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 …

Coffee is good, in contrary to my daily rhythm

Coffee considered a Good Thing(tm), especially espresso. But only 3-4 cups a day. Now that's what I drink max, so that's ok with me ;) But they say that I should avoid instant... Too bad. In other news: I got an air mail of the Domain Registry of America with …
